For a time they hung to the statement of Senator Burd that he believed the State, convention might be abolished with some safety If a stringent corrupt practices act and the short ballot were adopted.

Under-the bill proposed. by. Gov.

On Senator Burd's argument he could not support the Governor's bill as "it now stands were he still a member of the Legislature. 'r It is generally conceded that a number of those who are supporting the Governor's bill go, not so much for what the bill contains as for the opportunity it gives them'to into the limelight. In fact, it is not be-' lieved that the. provisions of the existing direct primary law are known to them. They are unaware of the fact that in this city at the coming election the Mayor Comptroller.

It is also likely that the Buffalo milling interests will -profit by a change which has been proposed by the sub-committee having control of this schedule, because that sub-committee proposes either to materially reduce or wipe out altogether the duty on Canadian barley.

The determination of tho Senate Finance Committee to make changes in the line of the suggestions submitted by Buffalo interests makes it entirely probable that when the bill reaches the House, after it shall have tasked, the Senate, all the features to which Mr Smith objected will have ben eliminated.
