BY AYMON 5. BROOKS

AUSTIN, March 20.-Women vot-
erS OF Texas are opening a con-
certed fight upon the political pri-
mary system of the state in what
appears the most important femi-
nine offensive in the field of poll
Tics since they captured the bal
lot.
Women of both major political
parties and of no political party are
taking part in the anti primary
drive.
This crusade has the earmarks of
a long hard-fought march to a def
mite goal.
IL Is In keeping with and has
the same purpose as an undertake
ing or Mrs. Laura Burleson Neg
ley, woman legislator from San An
tonic. She offered a measure for a
proposed law that would have wiped
out the popular primary, and per-
mitted political parties to resume
their old convention system.
The present onslaught by wom-
en- having its inspiration undoubt-
eoly in the unsatisfactory politi-
cal conditions of the Smith-Hoover
campaign, is taking the form of a
series of schools of instruction" in
cities and towns of Texas, with
abolishing the primary system ap-
parently the high purpose of the
whole campaign.
The first of these schools of in
struction already has been held at
San Antonio. Both democratic and
republican women took part in it.
Based on woman's known I'M
Willingness to march in the line
OF party regularity, regardless of
other considerations, the combined
drive of republican and democratic
women is being construed as a far
reaching and boldly conceived effort
to minimize the Importance Of
party control, to prevent the demo-
cratic primary from any longer be-
ing final in determining Texas cleo
lions, and in actually putting into
the hands of an independent ele-
ment-the feminine voters-the bal
ance Of powe rim political affairs.

Texas Women Voters
Begin New Fight on
State Prim airy Laws

/ and national democratic conven-
tons, are taking part in the
schools of instruction" Equally
prominent republican women, in
Guiding Mrs. j. @. Griswold, repub-
lican national committeeman
from Texas, took part.
Mrs. GrisWold suggested the lea
derShip of democratic women in the
feminine drive, since primaries of
the democratic party have been all
powerful in Texas affairs in recent
years.
The republican party must hold
a primary next year, under the re-
suits of the last November general
election. 1t will be the second in
many years, the other having been
neceSsitated by DR.. George G. Butte,
republican nominee for governor,
getting over 100000 votes in the
general election.
The objection of women to pro
feSSional office seekers" has been
said to have encouraged their on
slaught upon the primary system.
A study is being made by a group
Of women political leaders to out
line further steps, beyond the
schools of instruction, by which the
plan may be furthered.
The women in the first school of
instruction heard the party primary
system called "one of the most beau
tiful laws in theory and one of the
most iniQuitious in practice"
j. l.. Brown, who assisted in pass
ing the Terrell election law, was
invited to address the Women'S
meeting.
Of the primary system he said,
1T is calculated to keep the party
which was dominant at the time
in power forever.
In practice it keeps the voters
of small communities from enter
ing into national elections for they
fear that if they do not vote the
right ticket they will be prohibited
from voting in their own town cleo
tons.
Under the present laws we can
vote only upon candidates who are
placed upon the ticket, that is, upon
candidates who r placed upon the
ticket. that, upon professional Of
flee seekers. We should have the
