ATTEMPT TO RUSH PRIMARY REPEAL FAILS

Indiana State Capitol, July 19.— An attempt to pass under suspension of the rules, the GraysonLaughlin bill repealing the primary election law, failed today in the House, the vote of 61 in favor of the move lacking six of the number required for such action. Ine twenty-six who voted against suspension of the rules were divided equally between Republicans and Democrats. Representative . Willis Of Steuben county declared that no emergency existed for the passage of the bill since there would be no primary before the next regular session of the legislature. After failing to pass under suspension of the rules, the bill went to engrossment in the usual manner.
