PRIMARIES BUGDEAR OF TIE OLD TI|NE
 POLITICAL PARTIES

WASHINGTON, Oct 2.-The pres idential primary, now the vogue in a full score of states, not only has be- come the bugbear of the old time pol itician but has also accomplished the rout of the time-honored practice of delaying the announcement of candi dacies until the last possible moment in order to size up the field Today in many states candidates must get off the fence many weeks before the national convention and say wheth CT they will or they will not.
 The beginning of the 1924 primary season now is bare five months off and the filing of papers required of candidates in many cases already has become burning question among those who cannot decide whether or not they hear the popular call. Such decisions must be made much earlier than in times gone by, and as a con sequence of the spread of the primary system the next few weeks, are ex pected to see the crop of candi- dates reach a stage much more ad- vanced than the average for pre- sidential years in the past
 The first primary, that in New Hampshire will be held March IL North Dakota will follow a week later and seven additional states controll ing some of the largest delegations that sit in national conventions will have voted before the end of April Here is the full list of those having presidential primary laws, with the dates for the primary election of all parties.
