BY r. L. MORGAN

There is a well organized crowd OF
old-line politicians extending from the
White House down to our Statehouse,
who are going to make a supreme eff
fort to have the Legislature either
repeal or amend the primary election
law. These gentlemen are not so
much concerned about the repeal of
the county and district features Of the
law as they are about the repeal or
elimination of the senatorial and pres
idential preference feature. This
crowd wants to see Mr. Harding re-
nominated and some would like to
see our Governor go to the Senate,
but they all realize, however, that it
would be the height Of folly for either
Of these gentlemen to attempt to run
the primary gantlet to get on their
party's ticket.
The only possible hope or chance
this crowd has to continue in control
is to strike down the primary cleo
tion law and thereby disfrsnchise and
disarm the voters. They are insisting
ON return to the old repudiated con-
vention system Of nominating whereby
a few can get together in some high
building and name the nominees in
advance of the party's caucus or con
vention, as Mr.. Harding was named in
1920. after the people had overwhelm-
ingly expressed their preference for
General Wood and Senator Johnson.
While the party is still in the process
Of knitting and healing itself together
these mon are proposing to return to
the system that split it in 1912.

BASKETBALL

What with the high school games,
the series with Cape May and the w.
A. C. team and the other scheduled
games of this latter organization, Five
Mile Beach is getting it's fill of basket
ball this winter. Last week was a
busy one for wildwood. The We'd
nesday night game of the w. A. G. was
reported in our columns last week.
On Thursday night the team opened
up their winter series with the strong
opponents from Cape May in a game
played on the floor of the cage on the
City Pier in Cape May. Many Wild
wood rooters accompanied the team
over to see the start of this annual
series between the two resorts, and
these with Cape May supporters filled
the large convention hall pier. Her.
mar Batezel. the world famous ref
cree of the Eastern League, was ref
cree Of the game and his work alone
made the game well worth seeing.
Batezel is an old time professional
and his word is law in a basketball
cage. When he makes a decision the
players not only know it is right and
final but the spectators also are able,
from his actions, to determine just
what the decision was and why it
was made. Batezel, strictly neutral
in his office of referee of the Wild
wood-Cape May game, let no fouls
slip him and both teams were shown
up in their occasional foul actions.
Wildwood outplayed the Cape May
five in this opening game. Delaney
could not be stopped on the floor and
the other players were equally for
midable to their opponents. The
score showed a victory for the locals
and they returned home triumphant.
The score was:
