A big assembly was held yesterday afternoon to boost the annual Turkey Dayi' game. Mayor Plunkett spoke first, stating why the bond issues should be passed Saturday. Mir. Micheal, who had charge of the program, was the next speaker and he formed a mythical foot ball team, composed of players who were not under former Coach Geaory. MT. Geary then formed team composed Of men that he had coached. The judges retired and they decided that Geary's team would win. During the assembly Al Maynard, who had been selected as yell leader, resigned in favor of George Goldsworthy.
 The biggest parade ever pulled off in Phoenix occurred last night. Everybody was out to see the monster parade and everybody is going to be at the game this afternoon.
 Coach Robinson gave the team a light workout last night. Everything is in readiness today and the Coyotes anxiously await Jerry Abbot's whistle. If you are not there, you will miss one of the best games that has ever been played on Phoenix gridiron.

Primary Elections

We suppose there will be disposition in this state, as in many others to revise abolish the primary election laws which pretty widely passed few years ago when the popular rule wave was at it's height. The discovery quickly made the dominant party any state. the party responsible for the enactment of the law. got the worst of it. That discovery was made, we believe, by the Republicans of oregon.
 The Democrats of Arizona across that fact again in 1916, however without fatal results. But they overthrown by 1918. That the primary election of this state contributed largely the defeat of the Democrats this year there is hardly a doubt
 There several reasons why the primary law in any form that has been enacted has always worked against the stronger party Not the most important among these is the frequently heard, that members of the party having no contests of its own. enroll themselves in the dominant party and assist the nomination of the weaker candidates of party. That is purely imaginary. We have never known 1t to be done.
 It is true that members of the weaker party hay ing contests of their often register large numbers as members of the stronger party and vote at the primary for their choice of the candidates That has been done by large numbers of Republicans in every primary in Arizona since statehood. Rep rehensible that practice though the regis trants probably did intend the general election to support the Democratic candidate for whom they had voted in the primary, it is fact that in the primary they registered almost without exception their honest choice-of Democratic candidates. They always voted against former Governor Hunt though they sometimes believed they were voting for stronger Democrat.
 The why the primary is bad for the dom nant party Is that 1t invites factional splits which cannot be mended before the general election To the politician that is sufficient reason for the aboi- tion of the primary but there are a good many peo- pie who are against 1t they do not believe that the people sufficiently discriminating in their choice of candidates

BLUE LAWS

History says that there good deal of aggeration about blue laws and that after a mem Der of the New Haven colony was driven out and returned to England he spent his time in ridicue of the colony invented laws which he said used in governing its people.
 Maybe he did. If he did. he certainly was a good inventor, for among the rules these:
 No shall cross river Sunday unless he be authorized clergyman;
 No shall the Sabbath day, walk in his garden;
 No shall travel cook, make beds houses, the Sabbath;
 No shall kiss her child the Sabbath, fasting day;
 Every male shall have his hair cut round accord ing to cap;
 who strikes his wife shall be fined ten pounds, and who strikes her husband shall be dealt with according to the law;
 Whoever publishes a lie to the prejudice of his neghbor shall sit in the stocks be whipped Is stripes
 these laws were called "blue" because of their lugubriousness. They took their from the fact that originally printed these and lot of others, bound in blue cloth.
