central states in local elections, pri
marily for county purposes. In the
south they wished to have white
mans primary so they put into it
certain qualifications that did not
apply to the regular elections. This
was not done by law by voluntary
rule of the party.
The direct primary went on in this
desultory fashion for generation.
Beginning about 1900, the direct pri-
mary movement developed much more
rapidly for various reasons. This
was the progressive period in which
there were a series of revelations re-
garding widespread corruption in
the United States. The result of the
many disclosures was a ground-swell
of opinion demanding the substitution
of the direct primary method for the
convention plan.
Now there were many arguments
advanced on all sides for and against
both systems but the historical fact
was that the direct primary method
began to be adopted everywhere in
stead of the delegate method, not
only for the nomination of county Of
ficials but also, to- some extent, for
municipal and state nominations.
In 1912, in the midst of the con-
troversy that arose in the republican
party between the Sprogressives and
the stand-patters, the direct primary
began to apply to the presidential
candidate for the first time. Under
the weight of public sentiment and
of party pressure, many states passed
a law providing for a preferential
presidential primary. This is one held
for the purpose of allowing the voters
of a state to show which candidate
for president they want their state
delegates to vote for at their party S
national convention. However, at the
present time, the limitation of the
presidential primary to less than half
Of the states leaves the balance OF
power in Sthe conventions with the
unpledged delegates.
One step toward the control of gov
ernment by the people has been taken
with the coming of the direct pri-
mary It is an advance over the
caucus and convention methods OF
nomination. Therefore, until some
thing better is offered, let us avail
ourselves of this powerful instrument
for clean and honest government.

$4,000, 900 Unclaimed In
Various Banks in Nation

Have you money in some bank that
you have forgotten or failed to make
any disposition of? More than $15,00O,-
900 lies unclaimed in the various banks
of the country, according to state
ment received by local banks from the
Bankers Trust company of New York
City, Saturday. There is hardly bank
in the, country that does not have few
such forgotten" accounts, which would
gladly be returned to the owners if
they could be located.
This money comes in various ways.
The most frequent is that of persons
who have made errors in computing
their balances, thereby leaving small
balances in the banks. The records
show numerous cases in which persons,
often wealthy, have made deposits in
banks other than those in which they
kept their regular accounts, and died OF
disappeared without making any dis
position of the money. In such cases,
the banks make every reasonable ef-
fort to locate the owner or heirs.
