They Sly that the direct pnmy.y has destroyed party organisation and responsibility They want t lie primary law repealed. The pri- OUght to be amended and in the fol lowing particular: FIRST: Amend the law by cre ating the righi to hold a PR I mary party convention. If party would meet in a pre-pt im.ii v convention and nominate i ticket -pri-the this would not prevent any indi vidual or any number oi individuals from using the provision of the di rect primary law and filing their declaration of candidacy tor olTice. It would have the effect, however, of making the individual ,-tand aleiie, on Ins merits, and Independent of party support. The pre - primary coment:on would file its slate under the saint provision. Whin that slate was tiled, the candidate under that l ing would have the support, i dOTSemcnt, and inlluence of M party. In that y you would crvsta.- ire the paity, restore its organize 'ion, responsibilnv, and account- .ibilitv, and at the same turn- you v . : rj preserve to the individual SECOND: You ought to anient the primary law and raise the quali fications for olTice.
