WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE PRIMARY? An empire state political master writing In the New York Times calls our attention to some conditions in. the direct primary system that !t Is hard for most of if to admit are unfortunately t.ru. He laments that the primary has almost silenced great party organizations through wbieli "people haie been Rccustomed to spafe on great issues." Further, he declares that prrsent lack of aggressive publ'c opinion has a great da! tn do with ine'Sciency in this war. Tfc direct primary presumes that, all mtcr have tidied issues and principles and prepared io f:;press themselves rn every public question. But w all Vnow that such is cot. the cause. In consequence the primary has become a lottery, a free-for-all affaJr, Wia suc- , cssful candidate really owing responsibility to no party. Jtieht here, where nearly half our voters are aliens, a lMi-g portion of them are alien enemies allowed to vote by rcaeon of the ebso'et laws of .ndiana. These vo'ers, many of them earing nor for issues and generally gtving not a rap for personalities, cast their hallo either by chane or by way employers suggest to them. "The nominee of th primaries need have no prin-

Cnp? on and our losses become more grievous. Daily devo- j nuns during 1ont are a fitting preparation for arming ; the spiritual wounds of war and for aggressive fighting j for the larger liberty of mankind and for universal and pcrmarsrnt pace. j
