have been his predecessors for years,
none of whom were ever mentioned as
candidates at the end of their terms"
"Of course he will make mistakes.
He has been making mistakes-colos-
sal mistakes-all sorts of mistakes,
big and little, ever since he went into
the State House seven years ago.
But they have done him no harm with
the masses of the people and he is not
likely to make any more mistakes
than those he has made in the past.
He is the sort of man who can make
mistakes and get away with them. He
can do all sorts of outrageous things
and suffer no harm for the doing.
People seem to overlook his mistakes
and errors, and will continue to do so
and they do not seem to do him the
least harm in the yes of the voters, or
of anybody else. No matter what he
does, he gets away with it, and he
will stay where he is as long as he
wants to-"
And these are the reasons why a
dark cloud is hanging over the heads
of the ambitious statesmen who would
like to move into the Government
House at Annapolis in January, 1881.
And nine out of every ten people
met in a day believe that he will want
to remain at Annapolis at the expira-
ton of his present term and that his
wishes will be gratifed.

PRIMARY ON DEFENSE

In the forty-four states whose leg
islatures meet this year efforts are be-
ing made to repeal the primary laws.
For the first time since the primary
struck the country almost genration
ago, the proponents of the primary
are on the defensive. 1t used to be
that the drives were launched against
the convention system. Now the pri-
mary is held up to US as the horrible
example.
The reason must be apparent. The
primary has failed to live up to ad-
vance notices. Instead of giving us
more representative government as its
friends claimed, it has given US more
scandal and less representative gov
eminent.
The final argument, and the one
which is the most effective against the
primary, seems to be that it brings
about vast expenditures by office seek
ers. This is inevitable. In order to
gain the acquaintance of the people of
a great state lots of money must be
spent. Advertising rates and travel
ing expenses are greater than ever
before, hence the great cost of the
primary.
But there is a greater evil in the
primary than its eXpensiveness. 1t
has brought about not representative
government but personal government.
Party lines are eliminated, there is no
responsibility to organization and lit
tie running on political principles.
Personalities, pure and simple, come
to the front in primaries and instead
of the representative idea we have the
Mexican idea of irresponsiblepersonal
leadership.
Doubtless the primary idea will get
a lot of severe blows in many of the
states this year and deservedly so.
As the Chicago Tribune has aptly
put it:
The American system of gov
eminent still depends on repre-
sentative authority and party re-
sponsibility. Both are maintain
ed in the nominating convention.
Both are eliminated in the direct
primary. The convention theory
accords with the American sys-
tenn of government If the re-
suits of the direct primary, new
ertheless, were better, the bet
ter theory would be discarded.
Experience proves that results
are not better. They are worse.
They are confused, scandalous, IL
responsible and with little evil
dence of good judgment"

 Clarence Chamberlin, who flew to Germany with Charles A. Levine, said: Tt was remarkable flight considering the time of year. The Atlantic abounds with storms and dangerous winds and fogs during the fall. The girl had nerve and Captain Haldeman deserves credit for accomplishing what he did. They would have been better off if they had used a sea plane"
 Giuseppe Nj. Bellanca. designer of the transatlantic plane used by Chamberlin: This flight is impor- tant because It may turn out to give us Knowledge of the flying condi- tions over the southern route"
 Grover Looming, airplane manu- facturer: "Of course. Miss Elder deserves great credit for her cour- age. but l don't see that it means anything one way or the other that a woman was in the plane, Any further attempts to fly across the Atlantic in land planes are useless. Amphibian planes are the only ones that should be used"
 Sherman NJ. Fairchild, president of Fairchild Aviation corporation: Tt was d splendid flight and shows that our American girls are the equal of girl pilots In other coun- tries. The flight was a sporting ef- fort, and I am happy that they both are safe"
