We notice some interest among

Why not call a state convention, as
the Republicans did, and do something
to get a state ticket that is worth
fighting fort AS things stand, great
opportunity is being thrown away.
Everybody now admits that the pri-
mary law is hopeless, and that with
out convention the party will go
into the fight ably handicapped. The
Evening Post wishes to help the
Democrats to win this fight, but the
managers Of the party should do
something to help those who want to
help their party. There is ample time
to call state convention, and, il
necessary, it could be called with the
definite pledge that it would not con-
slider the nomination for Governor.
That matter could be left to the pri-
mary for decision, but to leave every
