The direct primary system of select
ing candidates for Congress and other
public Office will be discussed by SEN
ator Gerald p. Nye Of North Dakota
In the National Radio Forum arranged
by The Star and broadcast over the
coast-to-coast network Of the Columbia
Broadcasting system at $3.50 O'Clock. to-
morrow night.
Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson
was scheduled to make an address at
that hour on the completion Of the
London naval treaty through the re-
cent agreement between France, Italy
and Great Britain on naval limitation
It was found. necessary, however, to
postpone that address because the full
text Of the agreement has not yet
reached the State Department, and
Secretary Stimson will be heard later.
The direct primary system has been
under attack recently by Former Gov
Alfred E. Smith of New York, the
Democratic nominee for President in
1928, and by Representative VIII Wood
Of Indiana, chairman of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee.
The contention has been made that the
system is breaking down party gov
eminent and is not resulting in the
selection of the men best qualified for
public Office and that frequently small
minority of the electorate controls the
nominations.
Senator Nye, who is chairman of the
Senate Campaign Investigating Com
mittee, is q supporter Of the primary
system and will. give reasons for pre-
ferring 10 to the old convention and
caucus methods of nominating candi-
dates.
