WHERE PRIMARIES FAIL

Looking over the field of candi-
dates, in this state, who have al
ready asked for preferment at the
hands of the people in the coming
primaries, and at those threatening
to run as independents, for offices
ranging from minor political posi-
tions to those of United States con-
gressmen and senator's, most of us
find our gorge rising at the prepos-
ferrous assumption on the part of
some of this human material.
We regretfully begin to realize
that it is our present system of pri-
maries, once heralded as a cure-all
for every evil in politics, which
makes it possible for this spume of
ignorance and sublimated mediocri-
ty to rise up and demand that posi-
tions of trust, which require brains,
ability and trained administrative
capacity, be placed in their inepU
care.
The political boss, the ward heeler
and the scheming politician are
making no outcry against the pres
ent primary system. They have no
desire to return to the days of open
conventions, where, as leaders,
viewed by the spotlight of pitiless
publicity, they were forced from
necessity to pick candidates who
possessed qualifications which would
attract public attention and secure
popular approval.
They find the workings of the pri-
mary game much simpler. Certain in
their knowledge that only small
part of the vote will come out in the
primary, and that that vote is rep
resented mainly by tried and true
henchmen, the political leaders are
assured, in advance, of the nomina-
ton of their plant tools through the
so-called popular voice of the people.
With our national, state, urban and
municipal problems becoming more
complex and abstruse each year-a

Baltimore and Ohio crossed 80 to the
highest price since 1923.
In the industrial group new high
records for this year. or longer, were
registered by a wide variety of
stocks including American Can, Case
Threshing Machine. Consolidated
Gas, Du Pont, Republican Iron and
Steel preferred, Sears Roebuck, Tim
ken Roller Bearing, and Westing
house Air Brake.
Motors gave a better exhibition Of
group strength than they have for
some time. Hudson, which has been
sluggish of late, suddenly jumped
over points to 6S rs, closing near
the top, while Nash, Studebaker,
White, Mack Trucks, Chrysler,
Dodge and some of the others sold /
to points higher although they
were unable to maintain their gains.
The latest gossip concerning General
Motors Is report that the stock
will be split up on a two for one
being declared on the new stock and
an extra cash dividend of 81.
Wheat advanced sharply on unfav-
orable crop weather in Canada, but

to 81 points net lower on more fav-
orable weather reports from Georgia
and Alabama. Raw sugar was I'M
changed but CO ee prices were
slightly flrner.
Call money renewed at 4G6, ad
vanced to 4 100 and thence to
see, as banks called about $25,000,000
in loans. Time money and CONNER
cial paper rates were unchanged.
Foreign exchanges held fairly
steady in quiet trading.
Stiffening call money rates result
ing from heavy month-end require
ments placed damper on bond
trading, forcing prices generally to
lower levels. Falling off in the vol
ume of business combined with mar
row price changes resulted in an I'M
interesting market session.
Fractional recessions were the rule
in the foreign lists, with the declines
in Mexican obligations ranging from
/ to points. Euporean issues, after
maintaining a firme tone most of the
week, eased off on profit taking.
Gillian mortgage bank 1-2s were
depressed by the sale of an addition
al S20,000,000 bond issue for the in
stitution.
With the exception of convertible
issues, which followed the upturn in
stocks, railroad liens merely marked
time and closed the day with price
averages virtually unchanged.
Chesapeake and Ohio IS, Norfolk
and Western convertible 6s, st. Paul
1-2s and Lehigh Valley 4 1-2s re-
corded the only noteworthy gains.

NEW YORK MARKET
Features Of The Days Dealings In
All The Leading Stocks

New York, July 3o.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press)-Another sharp rail-
ly In stock prices under the leader
ship Of General Motors and U. S.
Steel common, which established
new high records for all time at
1914 ga and 1914 IA, respectively,
was abruptly halted late today by
the marking up of the call money
rate to percent. General Motors
fell back to 1856 IL and then re-
bounded to 1873 IA, off 2 "a net, and
steel sagged to 14S, where 1t was still
up 2 points on the day. Final quo
tatfons in the general list disclosed
considerable irregularity, with the
total volume of business running
well over 100000 shares.
The higher money rate followed
the heavy calling of loans in antlc'-
patton of first of the month require
ments, and did not reflect any mark
ed change in the credit situation.
The days trade news continued fav-
orable with an increase in cad land
and copper prices and predictions OF
further stiffening of the quotations
for steel bars, shapes and plates.
Revival of speculative interest and
strength in the railroad shares, the
general average of which closed
higher on the day, was one Of the
most interesting incidents of the ses-
sion. Nearly a score carrier stocks
were marked up to points before
the heavy wave of selling swept
over the market, net gains, in many
cases, being reduced to fractions.

Before setting out on their adven-
turous trip Evans and Wells had
made the most careful preparations
at every point. Wells went over the
entlre route they We're to take.
Through the experience both he and
Evans had had with Packard cars
they determined that each time it
was necessary to ride in an automo-
bile the car should be a Packard to
make certain against any possibility
OF failure of this phase OF their
plans. In each country, therefore,
Wells arranged for Packard cars to
be at hand when needed.
Technically the finish of the world
race had to be at the point from

Park Row in New York. After their
flight in Army airplanes across the
United States they landed at Mitchell
Field, Long Island. Their plane had
no more than come to rest before
Packard Six phaetol which had been
waiting for them dashed UP alongside
on the landing field and a second or
two later 1t was on its way with
a rush surrounded by squad of po-
lice on motor cycles. When the
Packard pulled up at the Pulitzer

Wells waited for some time after
the Aquitania. which was to carry
them to France, had left her dock.
They then raced from Park Row in
New York to the Battery and
boarded revenue cutter which car
ried them to Ambrose Light where
they clambered up the side of the
liner. An airplane was to have car
riel them from Cherbourg to Paris
but it crashed a short time before
their ship locked and a Packard was
pressed into service for a fast run
between these two points.
At many other points a Packard
saved them many precious minutes.
