lOU'RNAL 10c PEB WEEK. LA FOLLKXTE BEDTXS FIGHT. In last week's lssne of La Follette's Magazine the senator from Wlaconsin begins his fight for the election of delegates to th national conventions hr the direct TOte cf the people at orimarle. In this article iAFollette aays: To Wisconsin helongs the honor of enacting th first primary law for the election of delegates for the national convention by direct vote pf the people. Wisconsin delegates to the republican national convention of 108 were elected under that law.

They stood in that convention, a little hand of fearless men fighting to the last ditch for platform pledgee vital to the public interest. Their contest In the Chicago convention fixed the attention of the country and forced the candidate nominated for president to broaden the platform by declarations in his peech of acceptance la favor of eeveral of the Important Wisconsin propositions which the convention had impatiently rejected. Lesaoa ta Obvious, i The lesson Is obvious. Every 'atate in th Talon should adopt a primary law providing for the elec- tioa of delegates to the national conventions of, 1912 by direct vote of the people. With such a law In each atate.

the delegate will be chosen by the voter Instead of by machine managers, and the national platforms of both political partle will represent the Interests of the people rather than the Interests of the system. And every state should take another advance Oregon has Just pointed the way. Cnder the lnltia- tlve. the people of that state voted for and adopted a law at the state election la November, providing sot only for the election of delegates to national conventions, but also providing that each voter shall at the April primary 1 1312 have the opportunity of expreasing his choice for president and vice president.

Let the people organise and demand of every legislature the enactment fa primary law for the election of delegates to national conventions by direct vote, embracing a provision that hall give to each voter the right to express upon his primary ballot his preference for president and vice president. Sach a primary law will beat the 't Wall street game and nominate and elect a president for all the people of these-United States. ton Sanderson.

She turned, her head swiftly toward him, and her eye flashed "Where 1 concerned!" repeated fiercely, and in hla astonishment he almost wrecked the paling.

Instead, she drew- back, and thinking only to hid -momentarily her hurt and her pride, slipped through a narrow gateway.
