Section 1 0 of the Primary Law

Indiana's new primary law is the result of

the labor of John R. Jones, of Plymouth, one of the few progressive Democrats in the lower house of the 1915 legislature. He, with Earl Crawford, in the 1913 general assembly, were the insurgents who balked at Taggart-Cook bossism. Section 10 has been attacked in the last few weeks and its constitutionality is questioned. Republicans charge that it is a Democratic attempt to keep Progressives from voting in a Republican primary. Representative Jones has offered the following defense: "Most of the criticism of this law is . based upon a misconception of its purpose," said Representative Jones. "It is meant primarily to guar-

aVJ w. a - w

the primaries must be strictly party affairs, or

otherwise the nominations obtained through

them will not respect the wish and preference of

the bona fide membership of a party. What it geeks particularly to prevent is the voting of one party's members in another party's primary to

obtain the nomination of weak or unrepresentative candidates. "A good deal of talk has gone around about the law having been drawn to prevent Progressives voting at a Republican primary, if they intend to affiliate with the Republican party. I do not see that it will have any such effect. What the law was designed to prevent was an interference of Republicans in a Democratic or Progressive primary, and vice versa. "The law is meant to restrict the challenging of primary voters. Only a recognized member of the party for whose candidates a man offers to vote has the right to challenge. My interpretation is that if a Progressive offered to vote at a 'Republican primary it would be no business of the Democrats whether he did or did not. The challenge in that case would properly come from the Republicans, for their nominations, and not those of the Democrats, would be affected. On the other hand," if a Progressive offered to vote the Democratic ticket in the primary, the right. of challenge would be restricted to Democrats. "I can't see why there should be so much fuss about this section when precisely similar , provisions have been in force in the state since the primary law of 1907 was enacted. That was a Re

publican measure. It provided in express terms that party primaries should be limited to bona

fide members of the party. The same require

ments were . made there that were made here. That was the intention, I was sure. It is simply a common sense expedient to safeguard the honesty of primary nominations, , and make them truly representative of the wishes of bona fide party members." - . .i Sec 3 of the law of 1907, defining voters eligible to take part in a primary for precinct committeeman, has been followed literally, with the exception of a few words, by the drafters of Sec. 10 of the 1915 law. ' "Any qualified legal voter in such precinct," says the 1907 , law, "may challenge any voter or any person who shall offer to vote at such election, and when so challenged such person shall not be entitled to vote until he has made affidavit that he is a qualified legal voter of the precinct; that at the last preceding general election he affiliated with the party holding such .election; that he voted, for a majority of the regular nominees of such party at such election and that he intends to support and vote for the regular nominees of such party at the coming election." Sec. 10 is identical, except that for the words "holding such election" there is substituted the clause "for whose candidate he proposed to vote in such primary," which, in the view of the defenders of the present law, is in the interest of clearness and definiteness. But, while Sec. 3 of the 1907 law, which confers the right of challenge promiscuously, applies only to precinct committeemen's primaries, it has

been appropriated bodily in the law , of 1915 to define powers of challenge in a nominating primary. Sec. 25 of the law of 1907 is specific in limiting challenges at a nominating primary to members of the same party for whose candidates a disputed voter offers to cast his ballot. This section says : "Any qualified voter of a precinct who, has voted or intends to vote in such precinct upon the ballot of any political party may challenge any other person offering to vote, in such precinct at such primary, upon the ballot of the same political party, and on the ground that such person is not an adherent to that party." The section goes on to prescribe the form of affidavit by which a challenged voter may establish his qualifications as a legal .voter, and continues: "If challenged on the ground that he is not an adherent to the party upon whose ballot he intends to vote, such person shall not be entitled to vote unless he make an affidavit to the effect that he voted at the last preceding election for a majority of the candidates of the party uponf whose ballot he intends to vote at such primary; or if he did not vote at. the last preceding election, then at the last election at which he voted, and that such voter so challenged intends at the election for which the candidates nominated at such primary are to be voted for, to vote for the candidates nominated by such party at such primary."

METEOR IS SEEN

CHICAGO, Nov. 28. Residents of Chicago who were awake last night saw a biasing meteor across the sky. The meteor was described as being similar to the one that crossed the heavens in 1860. It rose in the east and passed slowly across the sky out of sight in the west leaving a trail of fire behind it. Local astronomers said today they believed the meteor passed through the edge of the earth's atmosphere and off into space.

CLEARING THE WILDERNESS. Except some small prairies near its western edge, all of Indiana, south and . east of the Wabash river, was once covered , with a dense forest of big, tall trees. And about their roots grew Eiich thickets of bushes and vines that it was almost impossible for even an Indian to make his way through them except where paths had been broken. Into that primeval wilderness the

pioneer chopped his way, built his cabin and slowly cleared his fields with practically but one implement the chopping axe. Next into use came the mattock, or grubbing hoe, and the common garden hoe. The plow was of little use until the mass of roots in the ground had partly decayed. His cabin built, the settler began to chop down the small trees and bushes and cut them up and p'.le them around the large trees and burn them. This killed the big trees and let in the sun shine, and among the trees and the stumps he planted his patch of corn. During the winter with his trusty axe he chopped down the trees which he

had killed by Are. or by "girdling," and cut their trunks up into logs, usually about ten feet In length. Such as would split readily he made Into fence rails, the others were to be burned. By spring he would have several acres cut over.
