Primaries Are Fraud on People,
Declares Nicholas Murray Butler
Preferential System Should Be
Abolished, He Says at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 5.--Nicholas Murray
Buffers arrival In Chicago was signalized
today by bitter attack on the system
of choosing presidential candidates by
the preferential primaries.
II stayed out of the primaries" he de-
clared to group of reporters, because
I don't believe in them
II asked all my friends to keep out of
the primary business.
THE preferential primaries are fraud
on the American people.
The primaries are not an expression
of public opinion.
'They are used for political tricks
why, in New York City alone next
November. we will cast more votes than
were cast in the presidential primaries
In the entire country this past spring.
"I don't hesitate to say that the prl-
mary system ought to be abolished"
DR.. Butler declared himself a treaty
reservationist He said that there was
no way Of keeping the United States out
of world affairs.
When Hiram johnson heard OF Buffers S
attack on the primary system he imme-
diately took issue with Butler and told
group OF reporters what he thought
about it.

STORY SNUB FAILS
TO EXCITE RUFE
But Farb, in Complaint, Says
He Doesn't Like Sinner.

Great and possible irreparatle damage
has been done to the regulations of two
citizens Of indianapolis.
In the list of nine places to which a
stranger was directed for possible amuse-
ment with African Golf published
I'll The Times Friday no reference was
made to "Rufe Pages place." in the
800 block on North Senate avenue.
The omission was entirely uninten-
uonal and, due probably TO the fact
that Rufe's' place has become so gem
elally known and well recognized the
informlnts do not as a rule realize that
perchance queStioners are not acquaiut-
ed with it.
RCFE DOESN'T
LIKE TO COMPLAIN.
Rufe Page. the genial republican
election worker, ex-depury sheriff ard
state delegate who is usually credited
with having thrown the mantle of his
influences around this clubroom, is too
dignifed to complain, but common JUS
tice requires that Mayor Jewett, Alexan-
der Taggart and Chief Kinney should
not contemplate the degree with which
without giving due consideration to
Rufe's place, than which there Is no
greater puzzle to the mere policeman.
Nate Farb. a citizen who needs no
further Identification, is not so much
enamored OF the honors bestowed on him
as some of the others whose hospitality
was set forth in that list.
Nate frankly denies that be has any
thing to do with the athletic club in the
200 block on Massachusetts avenue In
which he and "Shiner" Middaugh were re
ported to be interested.
SAYS FOUR BROTHERS
LOOK LIKE HIM.
Il never have been there and | don't
know anything about that place" said
Nate.
I've got four brothers in this town
and we look a good deal alike. There
must be a case of mistaken identity.
Il don't like TO be associated with
Sinner Middaugh.
Il never did run with gamblers and
I've got a good Job now"
Thus is paralleled the peeuIarities of
man.
Rufe Page was omitted from the city's
list Of hospitable hosts and he neve,
said a word, although entitled to a
protest.
Nate Farb was listed with a gentleman
of undoubted and remarkable ability and
influence and he doesn't like 1t q bit.
Il just seems impossible to please
everybody, even under the benign In
luences Of the Charles w. Jewett good
government administration.
