6.0.P. ADIN PRIMARY FIGHT
Uurges United Efforts of Republicans and Democrats.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Rep. Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis today called upon Democratic and Repub-
lican members of the Legislature to|
unite in repealing the convention system of nominating candidates in favor of the direct primary.
In a letter to E. Curtis White, State Senate Democratic majority leader, the veteran Congressman said he indorsed Senator White's reported plan to bring the convention repeal issue to the front in the 1939 session. : Describing the convention system as “archaic and undemocratic,” Rep. Ludlow wrote: “Public offices belong to the peoF*2, not to politicians, and the people have a right to say who shall occupy them.”
Favored by 31 Governors
He said he had written to governors of all the states asking their opinion. He received answers from 31 governors who favored the direct primary as a “more democratic process” over the convention system, he added. Indiana labor organizations, both A..F. of L. and C. I. O,, are rveported united behind the movement to bring back¢the direct primary election. A draft of proposed legislation to repeal the convention amendment to Indiana’s direct primary law is on file at the Legislative Reference Bureau for introduction into the 1939 session, of the Legislature. Rep. Ludlow, hailing the primary reform fight made by Woodrow Wil-

son, said that the “Democratic Party of Kern, Ralston and Marshall was sincerely and devotedly committed to popular rule.” “May we not hope,” he said, “that the Indiana democracy of 1939 will
take a lead in promoting the great
ideal of Woodrow Wilson?
“The duty of changing the sys-|
tem, however, so that the will of the people will control in making nominations, rests not on the Democrats alone but on the legislators who represent both political parties and a
partisan plea would be distinctly inappropriate and out of order.”

WHEELER ASKS PARTY HARMONY
Necessary, He Says, if
Power Is to Be Retained . After 1940.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (U. P.).— Senator Wheeler (D. Mont.), a leading anti-Administration Democrat, told members of his party today that they would have to get togethér at the coming session of Congress if they wished to remain in power after 1940. In an interview, Senator Wheeler said that Democrats should forget past differences within the party, correct inmperfect New Deal laws, and “go forward with a constructive, liberal program.” “If the party is going to be divided and purges are going to continue as they have in the past there

FOR DEMOCRATS
In issuing his call for Democratic harmony, he said that in order to
win the next Presidential election Democrats “must nominate a man who will harmonize all wings of the
party.” He gave no indication who|>
he considered qualified for such a job. : “The people,” he said, “are in favor of liberalism but not radicalism.
“The election just held was neither a repudiation of the Democrats nor was it a mandate to reactionaries of the Republican Party. It did demonstrate that the people of this country want to keep their three branches of government separate and distinct.”
