COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
THE DIRECT PRIMARY LAW

1t Is not surprising that the wo
men voters OF West Virginia, Or Il
quite evident majority of them, are
opposed to the repeal of the prim-
airy election law. The women OF this
state have only lately begun to ex
ercise the franchise. They will
learn much from experience which
could not have been gained in any
other way, and, it is hoped, they
will learn much that our male yot-
ers have failed to learn, or, learn
ing, have failed to profit from. In
the opinion of this newspaper ex.
perience will instruct majority of
the women voters, as we believe it
has already taught a majority Of
the male electors, that the primary
law in anything like its present
form is a delug&n and a snare.
The theory upon which the direct
primary system rests is excellent
At the time 1t was passed it was a
progressive measure, not at all a
project Of the practical politician
1t was here as it was elsewhere
citizens were sick of political mis-.
rule, of the domination of bosses
and Of the prevalence of corrupt
political manipulation. They de
manded that the people should have
a greater voice in the selection of
candidates. 1t need not be said that
just as the evils existed in nearly
every state in the union. there were
compelling reasons for change. A

system is far from acceptable to
professional politicians themselves
not because OF its reform features
(for it has failed conspicuously to
reform) but for various other rea.
sons, notably the infinite expense
and trouble which are caused by the
requirements Of the primary cleo
ton provisions and regulations. As
for candidates for public office, the
primary system generally speaking
has placed a premium upon the ex
penditures Of money; and 1t is true
that in almost all the states 1t is ex
tremely expensive for any candi
date to run for office, while corrupt
practices laws which were more
necessary under the new conditions
than under the old have been made
farce. On the money side OF the
question two results have been ap
parent; either rich men have had
the advantage over poor men in
seeking elective offices or poor can
didates have been under the con
straint Of disregarding the spirit, il
not the letter, OF the new laws re.
garding campaign expenditures in
order to succeed. Both results have
spicuously appeared in nearly
all the states.
A few months ago there seemed
to be a prospect that the primary
election law OF West Virginia would
either be repealed outright or very
radically amended. OF course it was
never proposed, at least by this
newspaper, that we should return
to the old convention system with
out proper safeguards 1t is not the
old system that is desired. It is a
quite new system but nearer the
convention method than the present
direct primary method--which in
the opinion OF many good citizens
is nothing less than an abomina
ton. Other states have agitated a
repeal of their direct primary laws
notably New York. The movement
almost reached success in the Elm
pire state. Generally speaking the
difficulty has been to devise a suit.
able substitute. 1t may be confident
ly expected that the last has not
been heard OF this matter in West
Virginia Or in several other states
of the union. Political evils have
rot been notably diminished since
primary laws first were passed. In
deed it is serious question if the
net result has not been to produce
a worse condition than that which
preceded.

POLICE ON TOURS.

Theoretically the instructions OF
the Council on Monday night 10 the
police to include the outlying sec
tions in their regular beats and to
note, In their regular duties, leaky
hydrants, unclean premises, and so
forth, is proper; but we suspect, as
a matter OF actual fact, it will re-
suit in little good. The police will
hardly find the time to do this work
and stay around headquarters at the
same time; and OF the two we sus-
pect they will find the headquarters
duties more necessary. 1t might be
possible for them to find the time
to take care OF this additional as
signment, and the Council evidently
thinks the police can do it without
impairing their other service, but,
in the end, we predict the police
will be the ones to determine, and
we suspect there will be little ac-
tiyity in this respect. Earlier ex-
periments. we are Informed, indicat

Rowe wasn't impressed. Perhaps he
thought it was just flash-somethine
that Broomspun never again could

carried only SO pounds that day. He
would have to pack ia in the Freak

The Broomstick colt was eligible
for the Preakness-butR Rowe had ne
intention of entering him. The con
ditions of the race were that each
losing starter had to pay $1,000 en-
trance fee. So why, thought Rowe
toss away $1,000 by running a horse

Every so often sportdom produces
an actual happening which rivals
tales from the pens of the most fanci-
full writers of fiction.
One of them happened only few
days ago at the Pimlico race track
when Broomspun raced home in front
of a field of the greatest three-vear-
olds in America-and so won $4,000
for his owner and astonished the rae
ing world.
Behind the triumph of Broomspun
is a story of a boy whose love for the
colt was so great that he Influenced
his father to run him in the rich
Preakness - influenced that father
against his own judgement.
Harry Payne Whitney shipped the
best of his horses to Kentucky some
weeks ago. Included in the lot were
Tryster and Prudery. recorded as the
surest of sure things in the classic
Kentucky Derby, and along with the
lot went Broomspun, son of Broom
stick.
Hold Horse cheapIy
The Whitney connections not only
held Broomspun cheaply as a Derby
possibility-they couldn't see him at
all The stable placed its reliance in
Prudery and Tryster. While that
great pair went down to defeat in the
big race, Broomspun. by Keeling off a
mile in SO is on the same track
and on the same day but in another
race startled racing folks-and the
Whitney folks as well.
Broomspun's time for the mile was
infinitely faster than that Of Behave
Yourself, the Derby winner. And
Homespun finished so full Of run that
it seemed certain he could have trav
eled another quarter mile at the same
record breaking clip.
Jimmy Rowe, the Whitney trainer
left P1udery in Kentucky and shipped
Tryster and Broomspun back to Mary
land. Tryster was to try for the
Preakness-and Broomspun was sent
along only to serve as a sort of com
