 The Syracuse Herald, in New York, the Aberdeen World in Washington the Charleston NeWsCOurier in South Caro- na the Dayton Journal in Georgia the Louisville Courier Journal in Kentucky and the Des Moines Register in Iowa all hail the suggestion of mixed convention and primary system good for their States do other in the States mentioned
 This is Texas disease, all the States afflicted with it. says the Atlanta Journal while the Charleston paper says the present primary offers opportunity only to lightweight politicians
 The fault of the primary system, these commentators agree, that it gives scope to party leadership. This has been very noticeable in California; where every primary brings forth complaints that the best equipped in the State do not seek office and that there is way to draft them Suggestions for reform of the California primaries have reused much enthusiasm among the politicians but if Texas and few other states revamp their systems something be done there It needs to be-Exchange
