PRIMARY ROW
I'm Through Says Governor,
but Will Urge Referendum
on Repeal.
FOES TO HOLD FARLEY

81 have gone as far as I can go
with the primary fight and l am
through with it. l believe it is a
party platform proposal and the rest
depends on the party organization.
This statement was made today by
Governor Warren r. McCray in dis
cussing the controversy over the
proposed repeal of the direct pri-
mary Law, which has again reached
fever heat
Despite his announcement that he was
through with the fight, however, Cover
nor McCray said he would suggest to the
factions that they present the question
in a referendum at the next regular
election in 1922.
There has been much talk Of what
the people want. 1 am in favor of let
ting them tell what they want" he said.
PLANS MADE
FOR CONFERENCE.
Plans are being made for a confer
ence tetween committee appointed by
the Senators who oppose repeal of the
primary, and a committee to be ap-
pointed by the Republican State COM
mittee The senatorial committee is
composed of John S. Alldredge, Ander-
son; Don P. Strobe, KokomO; Lee J.
Hartzell, TT. Wayne; James J. Nejdl,
Whiting and, Robert L. Moorhead, In
dianapOlis, all of whom were in the party
Of Senators which called on the Cover
nor yesterday to determine his stand.
Frederick E. Schortemeier. secretary of
the Republican State committee, and
Harry S. New were expected to call on
the Governor during the day for the
purpose of being officially informed con-
cerning the action of the Governor.
1t was reported that the suggestion
would be made that the committee ap-
pointed by the State committee be COM
posed of two Senators wO favor repeal
or limitation of the primary, a member
of the House of Representatives, and
two outsiders. Hope was expressed that
meeting of these joint committees could
be held in the near future
GOVERNOR STILL
FOR REPEAL.
Governor McCray's decision to get out
Of the primary fight. is apparently a cul-
mination of the gradual change of atti-
tude which resulted in his suggestions
for the appOin tment of conference com
mittees yesterday. His decision was
4e"CAeu uespiIe MS lepedCeu sIdteHentS
that he is for repeal of the primary and
his recommendations along that line. He
declared he wished it understood that he
had not changed his opinion that the
primary law should be repealed.
Reports Of a proposed compromise ~
gan to be heard following the Governors
conference with the 'antirepealist' Sem
ators, and 1t was reported that this COM
promise may take the form Of a refer
endum provision.
Friends of the bill drafted by Senator
william NJ. Swain, which would repeal
tie Statewide features Of the present
law and which is generally regarded as
the administrations latest move, are said
to be considering the advisability Of
having it introduced in the House for
the first test. According to reports, Rep
