DIRECT PRIMARY ACT EXPLAINED TO LABOR MEN T. D. FENNESSY READS PAPER BEFORE COUNCIL PRAISEB NEW SYSTEM USED IN LOS ANGELES Tells of Advantages of Method Em. ployed in Oregon for Selection of United States Senators At the meeting of the Central Labor council Friday night a paper on "The Advantage of the Direct Primary to the Working Class" was read by T. D. Fenncssy. The delegates to the council were greatly interested in the paper and voiced their approval by frequent applause. The council is composed of delegates from all affiliated unions, and is tak- ing a decided interest In all measures which have for their object good gov- ernment and the betterment of Los Angeles. "By an overwhelming majority the voters of California last November ex- pressed themselves in favor of a direct primary," said Mr. Fennessy. "They had grown tired of the boss controlled convention and wanted a chance to do their own nominating. The vote of 100,000 majority in favor of the consti- tutional amendment showed how gen- eral was the sentiment for a system of- direct nomination. "When the legislature met it set about to give the people what they . had asked for. In a measure It succeed- ed; but in many particulars the law is defective—due to the zeal of the party leaders to make the direct primary as unworkable as possible. Step In Right Direction "The direct primary law that was finally enacted is not what we would have written if it had been loft to us. but it is a long step in the right direc- tion. What we got was wrung from a reluctant legislature. What defects there are will be remedied by men chosen under the system of direct nom- ination. "Under the provisions of the law as it stands any person desiring to become a candidate for office lias a petition drawn up announcing the office to which he aspires and tho party with \u25a0which he Is affiliated. "This petition, then, is circulated for signatures, and when enough names have been signed therqto the petition is filed with the propeV officials and the candidate's name goes upon the ballot of the party with which he is af- filiated. "The number of names required to be signed to a petition varies with the offico sought. "If the office sought Is a state office, for Instance, the petition must be cir- culated in at least ten counties; and at least 1 per cent and not more than 10 per cent of the party vote In each of the ten counties must be obtained on the petition. "If for a county office, the petition must be circulated In at least one- fourth of the precincts in the county, and the petition must bear the names of at least 3 per cent and not more than 10 per cent of the party vote in each of these precincts. Danger of Fraud Small "All nominations must be made In this manner. "The primary election is held on the third Tuesday in August. Each party has its own separate ballot, but all parties have the same polling place and the same election officers. In fact, all the laws that govern a general election apply to the primary election, so there is little danger of fraud. "Upon entering the election booth the voter asks for the ballot of the party with which he is affiliated. His affiliation is attested, of course, by ths official records, as under the Devlin law all voters are required to state their party affiliation at the time of registration. "If tho voter has registered as a member of the Union Labor party he asks for the ballot of that party. Upon entering the voting place and unfolding his ballot he will find the names of can- didates arranged alphabetically under each office. It Is important that he hold this point in mind: Every name on his ballot is a member of his party and he is voting for the person whom he wants to be the nominee of his party at the general election to be held in November. "After he has stamped a cross after the candidates of his choice he folds his ballot and hands it to the election officials. Just as at a regular election. California's Law Superior "The candidate who receives the greatest number of votes for each par- ticular office is declared the party nom- inee for that office. "His name then goes upon tha ballot in the party column, to be voted upon in November. In other words, he be- comes the party nominee. "As far as the law applies to state offices and county offices, California's direct primary is perhaps the peer of any stats In the Union. But it is very effective as regards the United States senator. "The machine politicians In the last legislature tried to eliminate all refer- ence to the United States senatorship, but they met with defeat, A compro- mise was adopted which gives the peo- ple at least a chance to. do their own selecting. . "Under the compromise the names of all candidates for United States sena- tor go upon the primary ballot, Just us other candidates. Whover Is the choice of a majority of the legislative districts will perhaps be declared the party nom- inee. But as candidates for tho legis- lature are privileged to consider them- selves bound either by tho choice of the majority of the districts or by their immediate districts only, it is appar- ent that there is plenty of opportunity for playing politics. "What the people should demand Is the Oregon system of choosing senators. Under the present system the.re Is little likelihood that the workingmen, as a party, will ever have any Influence on the United States senatorship. Explains OVegon System "Under the Oregon system, all par- ties make their nominations for federal senator at the regular primary elec- tion-, and then all the party nominees are submitted to the vote of all the people at the general election in No- vember in the same manner that tho governor or other .state officer is chosen. It becomes obligatory for the legisla- ture to name as United States senator whoever received the largest vote of the people at the general election. "Another vital defect is the provision which prevents a person being the can- didate of more than one party. There Is no reason why a man—say a judge— who lihs given satisfacllon to all par- ties, should not be indorsed by the voters of all parties. The politicians have made It Impossible to Indorse a popular candidate. "For practical purposes, I guess, they have succeeded; but thero Is a loophole that will Hppeal to nil worklngmen. It is this: Th« ballots provide that I blnnk spaco shall be left on the ballot so that a voter can write In the name of any candidate he pleases. Now, while the person whose name appears on another party ballot cannot be print- ed on, say the Union Labor ballot, still there Is nothing In the law to prevent every Union Labor voter from writing on his ballot the name of some popular man who might be the candidate of One or the other parties. Our friends will do well to keep that point In view. May Indorse Candidates "The lust couple of paragraph! of this paper were prepared previous to the re- cent decision of the election commis- sioners of San Francisco, which in- structed the registrar of voters to pro- ceed in accordance with an opinion adopted by them, that political parties have a right to nominate a candidate regardless of whether he whs a mem- ber of the party nominating him or not. This means that there may be Indorse- ment of candidates and that several parties or organizations may nominate the same candidates at the approach- inK primary. "The supreme court of this state has as yet not passed on the matter, but it Is to be hoped that It Will up- hold the decision of the election com- mission of San Francisco. "Senator Le Roy Wright of San Diego, who is given credit for father- ing the direct primary bill, introduced another bill that would have proved a severe blow to the workingman had It not been killed. "This was a scheme to prevent In- dependent nominations after the day of the primary. At present we can wait until we see what sort of men the Republican and Democratic or So- cialist parties, for instance, name; then if we want to we can indorse certain candidates that are friendly to labor. Senator Wright tried to prevent our doing that, but the people set up such a howl that he was dissuaded from his scheme. Los Angeles in the Front "The rigjit to make nominations after the primary election is the great- est safeguard that we have; it should never be surrendered. "In the limited time at my disposal I trust I have made myself plain re- garding the general provisions of the law governing state elections. "In all matters concerning civic progress Los Angeles is always found in the. forefront. The citizens of this city on February 2 of this year voted on certain charter amendments, among which was amendment No. 4, relating to direct primaries. "As will be remembered, this par- ticular amendment was bitterly fought by the agents of the public utility cor- porations and the vicious and disrep- utable elements, always under their domination. "It Is gratifying to record that the amendment carried by an emphatic vote. "Its provisions are more pronounced and democratic than the state direct primary law, allowing voters, irrespec- tive of party designation, to determine their choice. "The primary nomination election— which, I trust, you will always bear in mind is more important, even, than the general election —shall be held not less than three nor more than five weeks preceding the general election In Dcember. Praises Non-Partisan Feature "Under its provisions a petition, signed by 100 qualified voters, entitles a nominee to be placed on the primary election ballot. No voter may sign more than one petition for a candidate for the same office. "Another provision—and, in my opin- ion, one that places it head and shoul- ders oxer the state law—is that there shall be nothing on any ballot indica- tive of the party affiliation, source of candidacy or support of any candidate. "In other words, and different from the state law —which does not apply to cities having taken the initiative in passing charter provisions to gov- ern themselves thus intelligently—in- stead of a voter asking for a ballot of any one political party, he enters his voting booth and Is handed a ballot which contains the names of aspirants for office; and mark you again, these candidates are arranged alphabetically, having no party designation, enabling one to cast his" vote without party prejudice for the man, and not his political affiliations. "TIM two candidates receiving the highest number of votes for any given office at the primary nominating elec- tion shall be the candidates, and the only candidates, for such offices whose name.'; shall be printed on the ballots to be used at the general municipal election; provided, that where more than one office of the same kind is to be filled, the candidates therefor equal- ing, in number, twice the number of such offices, who receive the highest number of votes at the primary nom- inating election shall be the candidates and the only candidates for such office whose names shall be printed upon the ballot to be used at such general elec- tion. Hold Balance of Power "In the indorsement of this council for. this primary law, I remember, there were delegates who believed It unwise to limit the candidates on the general election ballot to the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes, and where more than one office Is to be filled, the candidates therefor, equal In number of such offices, who receive the highest number of votes at the primary election. "It appears to me self-evident that if a candidate who does not show suffi- cient strength to poll the first or second highest vote at the primary election should be deemed, logically, as one who would not be the choice of the people at the general election, "To emphasize: If you men will make th« primary election your chief aim, you can, unitedly, have your candidate placed on the general election ticket; but If you don't poll the highest or second highest vote you should be can- did enough to admit th.it you have not sufficient strength to elect your nom- inee. "In any event, with the balance of power—which you undoubtedly havp— you can elect at the general election the candidates who will beat nerve your Interests. "All laws pertaining to general elec- tions are in force regarding primary elections, including that entitling one to absent himself from any service or employment for the period of two con- secutive hours. Convention Eliminated "The above arc the direct primary methods of naming nominees. Under the old system all that the people did at the primary election was to vote ifor a group of delegates to v party con- vention. The delegates elected then would meet and decide upon whom they wanted us the party nominees. Usually they took program and voted whomever Use bosses had slated for the various offices. The people hod nothing what- ever to say about who the party nom- inee should be; their power ended with the election of the delegates to the con- vention. 'Tnder the ' direct primary there Is no convention and no.. delegates to be elected. The voters are the delegates. Upon the,ballot are all the candidates for ' the various offices, and Mr. Voter dimply votes for whoever he thinks Is, the most fitted and the most worthy to represent him. "In conclusion, and I think It most apropos under the general slactlon sub- ject, to call your attention to an ar- ticle in a recent issue of a morning paper, which states that 'Walter Par- ker Is hurrying back to this city and will devote his time until the next elec- tion in giving the "machine" a thorough overhauling. All defective parts are tn be removed, bolts ami nuts tightened up, the working parts well oiled, and everything brought to the highest state of efficiency. To Raise Campaign Fund "'The real headquarters of the "ma- chine" will be Mr. Parkers offices in the Pacific Electric building, from which all orders will be issued, to be executed through the Republican league, the Sequoia club, the (ierman- Amerlcan Republican league and the other subsidiary party organisation*, " 'No secret is made of the Nfaet that orders have been given that the non- partisan movement (In other words, anybody that won't do Walter's bid- din) must be wiped off the map, and to this end a campaisn fund (that Is always important, mark you) will be raised. " 'Organization experts are already studying up on the new direct primary, and a full and comprehensive report will be ready for submission to Mr. Parker as soon as he returns.' "The above extracts would be lu- dicrous if they did not warrant serious thought. Delegates to the council, ran you arouse yourselves from the apathy, to say the least, that overcomes you on matters which are of the gravest mo- ment to you? "Can you realize that the above is but a blunt viewpoint of the political situation? ••Walter Parker, the agent of a great public utility corporation, organized for construction and maintenance of a transportation company, is now- and practically organizing forces with which he hopes to place in political power those who have in the past, and wil! continue in the future, to enact legislation for corporate Interests and against the people's welfare. "Have we such short memories that we cannot remember how our child labor bills and measures beneficial to the working classes are, year after year, either buried in committee or de- feated In one or both houses or vetoed by the governor? "However, I am most optimistic as to the future. I believe we are awaken- ing to the importance of giving careful study—and not at the eleventh hour— to matters of vital import to the citi- zenship of this city and state. "I am of the firm opinion that the working people will be counted on the side of civic righteousness and will aid their cause—in the only practical way— by casting their lot with those who are striving to purify the city and state of domination and thralldom of the vicious and corrupt elements. "The direct primary is certainly n body blow which will lead to the death of the political machine. Like tMe In- itiative, referendum and recall, once enacted and placed on the statute books it will never be surrendered by the peo- now to hear from one who has made a It by the machine bosses, their hire- lings and their subsidized organs." Painters Injured Charles White, 47 years old, of 7S4Ms South Spring street and F. L. John- son, 44 years old, of 647 Banning street, two painters, were severely injured yesterday when the swinging scaffold on which they were working at 1618 Rockwood street gave way because of the hooks supporting it ripping through the rotten shingles, and pre- cipitated them to the ground, thirty feet below. ALAS, POOR CHIN CHINO! WHY WAS HE DYED? Kennel Club Tries the Appeal of Princess Montgylon from Dog Show Decision NEW YORK. May B.—Chin Chino, the famous chow dog of Merci Argen- teau, Princess de Montglyou, Comtesse d'Argenteau, wife of Capt. "Jack" Bonavita, the lion tamer, added an- other chapter yesterday to the book of trouble he has made, involving the princess, Mrs. Ada Olive Van Heusen, her erstwhile doarest friend, and the American Kennel club. Because, when Chin Chino was ex- hibited two years ago at the Boston dog show It was discovered he had a little red dye on his coat. Princess Montglyou was the appallant yesterday before a trial committee of the Kennel club, in the club room, 1 Liberty street. Who dyed the dog? Whan was he dyed? Why was he dyed? These questions wrecked a friendship and started two libel suits for $50,000. Two years ago Princess Montglyou and Mrs. Van Heusen were the best friends. Both are dog fanciers. At the Boston show Princess Montglyou ex- hibited Chin Chlno. Mrs. Heusen ex- hibited in the same class, but, as on two other occasions, the royal entry carried off first honors. This was on a Tuesday. Friday Charles MacKechple, Mrs. Van Heu- sen's kennel man, discovered dye on Chin Chinos coat and entered a com- plaint which resulted In the dog's dis- qualification and loss of the prize. Then followed an exchange of letters between the women, published in a sporting paper, and the two suits for libel. In her letter Mrs. Van Heusen vir- tually charged that Chin Chlno had been dyed at the time of the pudging and that the dyeing had been done with the knowledge of the princess. Princess Montglyou, In her epistle, in- timated that Mrs. Van Heusen had the dye put on Chin Chinos back out of Jealousy. The trial committee of the Kennel club Is trying to find out the truth, on an appeal taken by the Princess Montglyou, over the decision of the New England Kennel club disqualify- ing Chin Chlno. Yesterday's hearing began fit 10 a. tn. and lasted until 5 p m. Then an adjournment was taken to May 4. Mrs. Van Heusen took the. stand and said that it was her belief the dog was dyed at the time of the Judging and tbat the Princess Montglyou had prior knowledge of it. This the princess in- dignantly denied when her turn came. Dozens of affidavits were introduced by both sides and a mass of expert tes- .timony taken. . .

DRAGS OUT THE DREARY DISCUSSION OF DEMONOLOGY POMONA, May 4.—[Editor Herald]: Being compelled to let go of Lucifer, your correspondent "Lux" clings to the names devil and Satan, and •brings out a new name in Beelzebub. Of the lat- ter you will see it was not an evil spirit, but a god of the- Philistines in Ekron-I Kings 1:2, 3, 6, 16. Satan is an untranslated word meaning ad- versary," as it Is given in Job 1:6, mars. When translated the word is rendered adversary in Numbers M:XJJ, I Samuel 29:4, and other places. It is also translated to withstand (marg. to be an adversary) in Numbers 22:32; and to resist (margin, to be an adversary) in Zech. 3:2. It is only when not trans- lated that the word savors of brim- stone. which oCcurs only in the Of devil, which oCcurs only in the New Testament, I have shown that It Is a personification of sin In Its various manifestations among men, and will not ask for space for that into which I have already gone. '''i"?. ... But in New Testament devils, which, "Lux" brings up, an altogether differ- ent subject is Introduced. The original word Is different In etymology and meaning from the word rendered devil, which we have been considering. Of these devils (R. V. margin, demons) of which persons were Bald to be pos- sessed, the manifestations when de- scribed point clearly to physical and mental disorders. Of one it is said (Mark 5:15) that after having been healed he was found "sitting, and clothed in his right mind." The plain Inference is that before healing he was naked and crazy. In Matthew 9:32,33, It is said, "They brought to him a dumb man, possessed with a devil, and when the devil was cast out the dumb spake." Also In Matthew 12:22. "There was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb, and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw." Similar illus- trations might be given, that supposed evil spirit possession was but the ex- pressions of Ignorance, to which lan- guage New Testament writers con- formed, without countenancing it, as we would today. The whole subject of demoniacal pos- session Is most forcibly summed up in the article on "Demonology" In the Encyclopoedla Brlttanica, edition 1893, volume 7, page 61, as follows: "Some theologians, while in deference to ad- vanced medical knowledge they aban- don the primitive theory of demons causing such diseases In our own time, place themselves in an embarrassing position by maintaining, on the sup- posed sanction of the Scriptures, that the same symptoms were really cause/! by demoniacal possession In the first century. A full statement of the argu- ments on both sides of this once im- portant controversy will be found in earlier editions of the Bncy. Britt., but for our times It seems too like a dis- cussion whether the earth was really flat in the ages when It was believed to be so, hut became round since as- tronomers provided a different explana- tion of the same phenomena." JAMES T. IRWIN. PRAISES SUGGESTION OF HOMELIKE PLACE FOR GIRLS LOS ANOHLKS. May 4.—[Editor Herald]: Let me ilunik the woman who suggested a homelike boarding place for girls Who earn their own liv- ings. I am under the impression that she does not mean anything like a charitable institution, for no self-re- \u25a0pectlni girl would accept anything of the kind, and she does not need it. Also allow me tn siißßWst that the su- pervision over tlie glrll be something like a mother would have over her own daughters and that the Kills be not treated as If they needed watching or made to feel that they were inmates of some institution. There would be nothing homelike about that. Girls do not need watching as much as boys do, yet 1 never heard of anyone putting them in a home i where thalr liberty was restricted, except in the case of < liilihvii. It is not that v gh'l wants unnecessary freedom, but it hurts her pride to be treated *s a jailbird. Let the home be a place where she can en- tertain her friends in the parlor, as at her own home. A YOUNG GIRL. SAYS PLEA FOR HOMES WAS IGNORED BY WRITERS LOS ANGELES, May 4.—[Editor Herald]: Several of us women were discussing why every effort made for real protection of womanhood was strangled by the world under one pre- tense or another. The article which ap- peared a week or two ago pleaded for suitable homes for the working women where they might live in safety and at the same time have a. little of the sun- shine of the social life, fell flat; in oth- er words, upon seemingly deaf ears; as there was not another article on the Bubject. Now an article dealing with any other subject under the sun would have called forth a notice of some kind. We would have had yards and yards of the Bible telling women what God said she should not do, but nothing to help her solve the problem of how to live on a mere pittance and not sell her body to who might happen to bid for It. Nothing. The Bible is a man's book, written by a man for men. Let man keep it for himself, and not insist upon thrusting it in the face of woman, to her degradation. If some of the Bible readers would read "The Long Day" they might re- alize that, there is work to do that is not done by Idle Bible readers in order that they may shirk the work that lies so plainly before them. They stick their heads in the Bible when duty and womanhood go by, and they see them not. A GOOD SERVANT.

An unusual interest prevailed, all the numbers being com- posed by De Chauvenet, who displayed considerable genius in his various com- positions.

DIRECT PRIMARYACT EXPLAINED

TO LABOR MENT. D. FENNESSY READS PAPER

BEFORE COUNCIL

PRAISEB NEW SYSTEM USED IN

LOS ANGELES

Tells of Advantages of Method Em.

ployed in Oregon for Selection

of United StatesSenators

At the meeting of the Central Labor

council Friday night a paper on "The

Advantage of the Direct Primary tothe Working Class" was read by T. D.Fenncssy. The delegates to the councilwere greatly interested in the paper

and voiced their approval by frequentapplause.

The council is composed of delegates

from all affiliated unions, and is tak-ing a decided interest In all measureswhich have for their object good gov-ernment and the betterment of LosAngeles.

"By an overwhelming majority the

voters of California last November ex-pressed themselves in favor of a directprimary," said Mr. Fennessy. "Theyhad grown tired of the boss controlledconvention and wanted a chance to dotheir own nominating. The vote of100,000 majority in favor of the consti-tutional amendment showed how gen-eral was the sentiment for a system of-direct nomination.

"When the legislature met it setabout to give the people what they. had asked for. In a measure It succeed-ed; but in many particulars the law isdefective—due to the zeal of the party

leaders to make the direct primary asunworkable as possible.

Step In Right Direction

"The direct primary law that wasfinally enacted is not what we wouldhave written if it had been loft to us.but it is a long step in the right direc-tion. What we got was wrung froma reluctant legislature. What defectsthere are will be remedied by menchosen under the system of direct nom-ination.

"Under the provisions of the law asit stands any person desiring to becomea candidate for office lias a petitiondrawn up announcing the office towhich he aspires and tho party with\u25a0which he Is affiliated.

"This petition, then, is circulated forsignatures, and when enough nameshave been signed therqto the petitionis filed with the propeV officials andthe candidate's name goes upon theballot of the party with which he is af-filiated.

"The number of names required tobe signed to a petition varies with theoffico sought.

"Ifthe office sought Is a state office,for Instance, the petition must be cir-culated in at least ten counties; and atleast 1 per cent and not more than 10per cent of the party vote In each ofthe ten counties must be obtained onthe petition.

"If for a county office, the petitionmust be circulated In at least one-fourth of the precincts in the county,and the petition must bear the namesof at least 3 per cent and not morethan 10 per cent of the party votein each of these precincts.

Danger of Fraud Small"All nominations must be made In

this manner."The primary election is held on the

third Tuesday in August. Each partyhas its own separate ballot, but allparties have the same polling place andthe same election officers. In fact, allthe laws that govern a general electionapply to the primary election, so thereis little danger of fraud.

"Upon entering the election booththe voter asks for the ballot of theparty with which he is affiliated. Hisaffiliation is attested, of course, by thsofficial records, as under the Devlinlaw all voters are required to statetheir party affiliation at the time ofregistration.

"If tho voter has registered as amember of the Union Labor party heasks for the ballot of that party. Uponentering the voting place and unfoldinghis ballot he will find the names of can-didates arranged alphabetically undereach office. It Is important that hehold this point in mind: Every nameon his ballot is a member of his partyand he is voting for the person whomhe wants to be the nominee of hisparty at the general election to be heldin November.

"After he has stamped a cross afterthe candidates of his choice he foldshis ballot and hands it to the electionofficials. Just as at a regular election.

California's Law Superior"The candidate who receives the

greatest number of votes for each par-ticular office is declared the party nom-inee for that office.

"His name then goes upon tha ballotin the party column, to be voted uponin November. In other words, he be-comes the party nominee.

"As far as the law applies to stateoffices and county offices, California'sdirect primary is perhaps the peer ofany stats In the Union. But it is veryeffective as regards the United Statessenator.

"The machine politicians In the lastlegislature tried to eliminate all refer-ence to the United States senatorship,but they met with defeat, A compro-mise was adopted which gives the peo-ple at least a chance to. do their ownselecting. .

"Under the compromise the names ofall candidates for United States sena-tor go upon the primary ballot, Just usother candidates. Whover Is the choiceof a majority of the legislative districtswill perhaps be declared the party nom-inee. But as candidates for tho legis-lature are privileged to consider them-selves bound either by tho choice of themajority of the districts or by theirimmediate districts only, it is appar-ent that there is plenty of opportunityfor playing politics.

"What the people should demand Isthe Oregon system of choosing senators.Under the present system the.re Is littlelikelihood that the workingmen, as aparty, will ever have any Influence onthe United States senatorship.

Explains OVegon System"Under the Oregon system, all par-

ties make their nominations for federalsenator at the regular primary elec-tion-, and then all the party nomineesare submitted to the vote of all thepeople at the general election in No-vember in the same manner that thogovernor or other .state officer is chosen.It becomes obligatory for the legisla-ture to name as United States senatorwhoever received the largest vote ofthe people at the general election.

"Another vital defect is the provision

which prevents a person being the can-didate of more than one party. ThereIs no reason why a man—say a judge—who lihs given satisfacllon to all par-ties, should not be indorsed by thevoters of all parties. The politicians

have made It Impossible to Indorse apopular candidate.

"For practical purposes, I guess, theyhave succeeded; but thero Is a loopholethat will Hppeal to nil worklngmen.

It is this: Th« ballots provide that Iblnnk spaco shall be left on the ballotso that a voter can write In the nameof any candidate he pleases. Now,while the person whose name appearson another party ballot cannot be print-

ed on, say the Union Labor ballot, stillthere Is nothing In the law to preventevery Union Labor voter from writingon his ballot the name of some popularman who might be the candidate ofOne or the other parties. Our friendswill do well to keep that point In view.

May Indorse Candidates

"The lust couple of paragraph! of thispaper were prepared previous to the re-cent decision of the election commis-sioners of San Francisco, which in-structed the registrar of voters to pro-ceed in accordance with an opinionadopted by them, that political partieshave a right to nominate a candidateregardless of whether he whs a mem-ber of the party nominating him or not.This means that there may be Indorse-ment of candidates and that severalparties or organizations may nominatethe same candidates at the approach-inK primary.

"The supreme court of this statehas as yet not passed on the matter,but it Is to be hoped that It Will up-hold the decision of the election com-mission of San Francisco.

"Senator Le Roy Wright of SanDiego, who is given credit for father-ing the direct primary bill, introducedanother bill that would have proved asevere blow to the workingman had Itnot been killed.

"This was a scheme to prevent In-dependent nominations after the day

of the primary. At present we canwait until we see what sort of menthe Republican and Democratic or So-cialist parties, for instance, name; thenif we want to we can indorse certaincandidates that are friendly to labor.Senator Wright tried to prevent ourdoing that, but the people set up sucha howl that he was dissuaded from hisscheme.

Los Angeles in the Front"The rigjit to make nominations

after the primary election is the great-est safeguard that we have; it shouldnever be surrendered.

"In the limited time at my disposalI trust I have made myself plain re-garding the general provisions of thelaw governing state elections.

"In all matters concerning civicprogress Los Angeles is always foundin the. forefront. The citizens of thiscity on February 2 of this year votedon certain charter amendments, amongwhich was amendment No. 4, relating

to direct primaries."As will be remembered, this par-

ticular amendment was bitterly foughtby the agents of the public utility cor-porations and the vicious and disrep-utable elements, always under theirdomination.

"It Is gratifying to record that theamendment carried by an emphatic

vote."Its provisions are more pronounced

and democratic than the state directprimary law, allowing voters, irrespec-tive of party designation, to determinetheir choice.

"The primary nomination election—which, I trust, you will always bearin mind is more important, even, thanthe general election —shall be held notless than three nor more than fiveweeks preceding the general election InDcember.

Praises Non-Partisan Feature"Under its provisions a petition,

signed by 100 qualified voters, entitlesa nominee to be placed on the primaryelection ballot. No voter may signmore than one petition for a candidatefor the same office.

"Another provision—and, in my opin-ion, one that places it head and shoul-ders oxer the state law—is that thereshall be nothing on any ballot indica-tive of the party affiliation, source ofcandidacy or support of any candidate.

"In other words, and different fromthe state law—which does not applyto cities having taken the initiativein passing charter provisions to gov-ern themselves thus intelligently—in-stead of a voter asking for a ballot ofany one political party, he enters hisvoting booth and Is handed a ballotwhich contains the names of aspirantsfor office; and mark you again, thesecandidates are arranged alphabetically,having no party designation, enablingone to cast his" vote without partyprejudice for the man, and not hispolitical affiliations.

"TIM two candidates receiving thehighest number of votes for any givenoffice at the primary nominating elec-tion shall be the candidates, and theonly candidates, for such offices whosename.'; shall be printed on the ballotsto be used at the general municipalelection; provided, that where morethan one office of the same kind is tobe filled, the candidates therefor equal-ing, in number, twice the number ofsuch offices, who receive the highestnumber of votes at the primary nom-inating election shall be the candidatesand the only candidates for such officewhose names shall be printed upon theballot to be used at such general elec-tion.

Hold Balance of Power"In the indorsement of this council

for. this primary law, I remember, therewere delegates who believed It unwiseto limit the candidates on the generalelection ballot to the two candidatesreceiving the highest number of votes,and where more than one office Is to befilled, the candidates therefor, equal Innumber of such offices, who receive thehighest number of votes at the primaryelection.

"It appears to me self-evident thatifa candidate who does not show suffi-cient strength to poll the first or secondhighest vote at the primary electionshould be deemed, logically, as one whowould not be the choice of the peopleat the general election,

"To emphasize: Ifyou men will maketh« primary election your chief aim,you can, unitedly, have your candidateplaced on the general election ticket;but If you don't poll the highest orsecond highest vote you should be can-did enough to admit th.it you have notsufficient strength to elect your nom-inee.

"In any event, with the balance ofpower—which you undoubtedly havp—you can elect at the general election thecandidates who will beat nerve yourInterests.

"All laws pertaining to general elec-tions are in force regarding primaryelections, including that entitling one toabsent himself from any service oremployment for the period of two con-secutive hours.

Convention Eliminated"The above arc the direct primary

methods of naming nominees. Underthe old system all that the people didat the primary election was to voteifora group of delegates to v party con-vention. The delegates elected thenwould meet and decide upon whom theywanted us the party nominees. Usuallythey took program and voted whomeverUse bosses had slated for the variousoffices. The people hod nothing what-ever to say about who the party nom-inee should be; their power ended withthe election of the delegates to the con-vention.

'Tnder the ' direct primary there Isno convention and no.. delegates to beelected. The voters are the delegates.Upon the,ballot are all the candidatesfor ' the various offices, and Mr. Voterdimply votes for whoever he thinks Is,

the most fitted and the most worthyto represent him.

"In conclusion, and I think It mostapropos under the general slactlon sub-ject, to call your attention to an ar-ticle in a recent issue of a morningpaper, which states that 'Walter Par-ker Is hurrying back to this city andwill devote his time until the next elec-tion in giving the "machine" a thoroughoverhauling. All defective parts are tnbe removed, bolts ami nuts tightenedup, the working parts well oiled, andeverything brought to the highest stateof efficiency.

To Raise Campaign Fund"'The real headquarters of the "ma-

chine" will be Mr. Parkers offices inthe Pacific Electric building, fromwhich all orders will be issued, to beexecuted through the Republicanleague, the Sequoia club, the (ierman-

Amerlcan Republican league and theother subsidiary party organisation*,

" 'No secret is made of the Nfaet thatorders have been given that the non-partisan movement (In other words,anybody that won't do Walter's bid-din) must be wiped off the map, andto this end a campaisn fund (that Isalways important, mark you) will beraised.

" 'Organization experts are alreadystudying up on the new direct primary,and a full and comprehensive reportwill be ready for submission to Mr.Parker as soon as he returns.'

"The above extracts would be lu-dicrous if they did not warrant seriousthought. Delegates to the council, ranyou arouse yourselves from the apathy,to say the least, that overcomes you onmatters which are of the gravest mo-ment to you?

"Can you realize that the above isbut a blunt viewpoint of the politicalsituation?

••Walter Parker, the agent of a greatpublic utilitycorporation, organized forconstruction and maintenance of atransportation company, is now- andpractically — organizing forces withwhich he hopes to place in politicalpower those who have in the past, andwil! continue in the future, to enactlegislation for corporate Interests andagainst the people's welfare.

"Have we such short memories thatwe cannot remember how our childlabor bills and measures beneficial tothe working classes are, year afteryear, either buried in committee or de-feated In one or both houses or vetoedby the governor?

"However, I am most optimistic as tothe future. I believe we are awaken-ing to the importance of giving carefulstudy—and not at the eleventh hour—to matters of vital import to the citi-zenship of this city and state.

"I am of the firm opinion that theworking people will be counted on theside of civic righteousness and will aidtheir cause—in the only practical way—by casting their lot with those who arestriving to purify the city and state ofdomination and thralldom of the viciousand corrupt elements.

"The direct primary is certainly nbody blow which will lead to the deathof the political machine. Like tMe In-itiative, referendum and recall, onceenacted and placed on the statute booksit will never be surrendered by the peo-now to hear from one who has made aIt by the machine bosses, their hire-lings and their subsidized organs."

ALAS, POOR CHIN CHINO!WHY WAS HE DYED?

Kennel Club Tries the Appeal ofPrincess Montgylon from Dog

Show Decision

NEW YORK. May B.—Chin Chino,

the famous chow dog of Merci Argen-teau, Princess de Montglyou, Comtessed'Argenteau, wife of Capt. "Jack"Bonavita, the lion tamer, added an-other chapter yesterday to the book oftrouble he has made, involving theprincess, Mrs. Ada Olive Van Heusen,her erstwhile doarest friend, and theAmerican Kennel club.

Because, when Chin Chino was ex-hibited two years ago at the Bostondog show It was discovered he had alittle red dye on his coat. PrincessMontglyou was the appallant yesterdaybefore a trial committee of the Kennelclub, in the club room, 1 Liberty street.

Who dyed the dog? Whan was hedyed? Why was he dyed? Thesequestions wrecked a friendship andstarted two libel suits for $50,000.

Two years ago Princess Montglyouand Mrs. Van Heusen were the bestfriends. Both are dog fanciers. At theBoston show Princess Montglyou ex-hibited Chin Chlno. Mrs. Heusen ex-hibited in the same class, but, as ontwo other occasions, the royal entrycarried off first honors.

This was on a Tuesday. FridayCharles MacKechple, Mrs. Van Heu-sen's kennel man, discovered dye onChin Chinos coat and entered a com-plaint which resulted In the dog's dis-qualification and loss of the prize.Then followed an exchange of lettersbetween the women, published in asporting paper, and the two suits forlibel.

In her letter Mrs. Van Heusen vir-tually charged that Chin Chlno hadbeen dyed at the time of the pudgingand that the dyeing had been donewith the knowledge of the princess.Princess Montglyou, In her epistle, in-timated that Mrs. Van Heusen had thedye put on Chin Chinos back out ofJealousy.

The trial committee of the Kennelclub Is trying to find out the truth, onan appeal taken by the PrincessMontglyou, over the decision of theNew England Kennel club disqualify-ing Chin Chlno. Yesterday's hearingbegan fit 10 a. tn. and lasted until 5p m. Then an adjournment was takento May 4.

Mrs. Van Heusen took the. stand andsaid that it was her belief the dog wasdyed at the time of the Judging andtbat the Princess Montglyou had priorknowledge of it. This the princess in-dignantly denied when her turn came.

Dozens of affidavits were introducedby both sides and a mass of expert tes-.timony taken. . . "-^\u25a0'-,';« « \u25a0

DRAGS OUT THE DREARYDISCUSSION OF DEMONOLOGY

POMONA, May 4.—[Editor Herald]:

Being compelled to let go of Lucifer,

your correspondent "Lux" clings to the

names devil and Satan, and •brings out

a new name in Beelzebub. Of the lat-

ter you will see it was not an evil

spirit, but a god of the- Philistines inEkron-I Kings 1:2, 3, 6, 16. Satan isan untranslated word meaning ad-

versary," as it Is given in Job 1:6,

mars. When translated the word is

rendered adversary in Numbers M:XJJ,

I Samuel 29:4, and other places. It is

also translated to withstand (marg. tobe an adversary) in Numbers 22:32; andto resist (margin, to be an adversary)

in Zech. 3:2. It is only when not trans-

lated that the word savors of brim-stone.

which oCcurs only in theOf devil, which oCcurs only in theNew Testament, I have shown that It

Is a personification of sin In Its various

manifestations among men, and will

not ask for space for that into whichI have already gone. '''i"?. ...

But in New Testament devils, which,"Lux" brings up, an altogether differ-ent subject is Introduced. The originalword Is different In etymology andmeaning from the word rendered devil,

which we have been considering. Of

these devils (R. V. margin, demons) ofwhich persons were Bald to be pos-sessed, the manifestations when de-scribed point clearly to physical andmental disorders. Of one it is said(Mark 5:15) that after having beenhealed he was found "sitting, andclothed in his right mind." The plainInference is that before healing he wasnaked and crazy. In Matthew 9:32,33,

It is said, "They brought to him a dumbman, possessed with a devil, and whenthe devil was cast out the dumb spake."Also In Matthew 12:22. "There wasbrought unto him one possessed with adevil, blind and dumb, and he healedhim, insomuch that the blind and dumbboth spake and saw." Similar illus-

trations might be given, that supposedevil spirit possession was but the ex-pressions of Ignorance, to which lan-guage New Testament writers con-formed, without countenancing it, aswe would today.

The whole subject of demoniacal pos-

session Is most forcibly summed up in

the article on "Demonology" In theEncyclopoedla Brlttanica, edition 1893,volume 7, page 61, as follows: "Sometheologians, while in deference to ad-vanced medical knowledge they aban-don the primitive theory of demonscausing such diseases In our own time,place themselves in an embarrassingposition by maintaining, on the sup-posed sanction of the Scriptures, thatthe same symptoms were really cause/!by demoniacal possession In the firstcentury. A full statement of the argu-ments on both sides of this once im-portant controversy will be found inearlier editions of the Bncy. Britt., butfor our times It seems too like a dis-cussion whether the earth was reallyflat in the ages when It was believedto be so, hut became round since as-tronomers provided a different explana-tion of the same phenomena."

PRAISES SUGGESTION OF

HOMELIKE PLACE FOR GIRLS

LOS ANOHLKS. May 4.—[EditorHerald]: Let me ilunik the womanwho suggested a homelike boardingplace for girls Who earn their own liv-ings. I am under the impression thatshe does not mean anything like acharitable institution, for no self-re-\u25a0pectlni girl would accept anything ofthe kind, and she does not need it.Also allow me tn siißßWst that the su-pervision over tlie glrll be something

like a mother would have over her owndaughters and that the Kills be nottreated as If they needed watching ormade to feel that they were inmatesof some institution. There would benothing homelike about that. Girls donot need watching as much as boys do,yet 1 never heard of anyone puttingthem in a home iwhere thalr liberty

was restricted, except in the case of< liilihvii. It is not that v gh'l wantsunnecessary freedom, but it hurts herpride to be treated *s a jailbird. Let

the home be a place where she can en-tertain her friends in the parlor, as ather own home. A YOUNG GIRL.

SAYS PLEA FOR HOMESWAS IGNORED BY WRITERS

LOS ANGELES, May 4.—[EditorHerald]: Several of us women werediscussing why every effort made forreal protection of womanhood wasstrangled by the world under one pre-tense or another. The article which ap-peared a week or two ago pleaded forsuitable homes for the working womenwhere they might live in safety and atthe same time have a.little of the sun-shine of the social life, fell flat; in oth-er words, upon seemingly deaf ears;as there was not another article on theBubject. Now an article dealing withany other subject under the sun wouldhave called forth a notice of some kind.We would have had yards and yards

of the Bible telling women what Godsaid she should not do, but nothing tohelp her solve the problem of how tolive on a mere pittance and not sell herbody to who might happen to bid forIt. Nothing. The Bible is a man'sbook, written by a man for men. Letman keep it for himself, and not insistupon thrusting it in the face of woman,to her degradation.

If some of the Bible readers wouldread "The Long Day" they might re-alize that, there is work to do that isnot done by Idle Bible readers in orderthat they may shirk the work that liesso plainly before them. They sticktheir heads in the Bible when duty andwomanhood go by, and they see themnot. A GOOD SERVANT.
