MORE ABOUT THE PRIMARY

! | read with great deal of interest
your editorial on the primary law. OF
course all informed persons know
that the attempt to repeal the primary
comes only from those who stand to
profit by it's repeal, namely the gang
politician and the big financial inter-
ests who control the gang. 1t is true
that at various times several varieties
of nuts" have found their way into
legislative halls, but that is the ex-
ception and not the rule By the same
token you also see sleek and well
educated shysters just busting their
suspenders to serve their masters (for
q price,. AS for me, l would rather
trust the people in primary than
the gang" at a convention.
You also mentioned that many peo-
pie criticize the primary because they
can not vote for the good men on both
parties. With this criticism | must
disagree. 1t is well known that it
only takes a small block Of votes
either way to control most elections.
Suppose each voter could vote on all
parties. The gang would see to it
that half dozen good men were on
the ballot for each desirable office
on each ticket. Then the gang could
nominate one of their own men in
the desired place, and by reason of
the vote being split up among many
good men on both tickets the gang
would elect their man. Students of
politics tell us that 10 per cent of
the voters control all elections. By
keeping the law as it is you at least
block those of the gang who would
switch from one party to the other
in order to elect their men. To my
way of thinking, to open the primaries
so that everybody could vote on both
tickets is the surest and easiest way
to hand over the control of the choice
of candidates to the gang politician.
Let us keep the primary the way it
is and use a little more discretion in
voting for nut candidates as well
as for gang tools. Let us keep the
control of politics as close to the peo-
pie as possible.

Ireparable loss to the nations war eff

elderly ranchers and stockmen who
have been operating their plants with

The reference to polite and under

Cleveland Reserve Lowers
Member Discount Rate
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 27.-Cleveland
Federal Reserve Bank today estab-
lished Y per cent rate for member
banks-lowest discount rate In it's
history - on advances secured by
United States obligations, having a
year or less to run. The old rate
was per cent.
At the same time, the discount
rate for advances to others than
banks was reduced from 31a to 2
per cent.
The bank said its purpose was
to interpose no obstacle to borrow
ing by banks which find it necessary
to offer Treasury bills, certificates of
Indebtedness, or other short time
Government securities or guaranteed
issues as collateral for advances to
meet temporary needs. 1t was antic-
| ipated that the low rate also might
encourage more substantial pur-
chases of such obligations.
