Olympia, Jan. 13.—The house held
a brief session this morning and
adopted resolutions iti respect to the
memory of Senator W. J. Reed. Sen
ator John Earl and Representative D.
M
Thompson. A resolution was
adopted that no bills be introduced
later than February 23. except with
the consent of two-thirds of the mem
bers.
Governor's Message
Governor Mead's last message was
delivered today, and In the course of
his address he strongly endorsed the
primary law, saying:
"The domination of the political
machine has ceased In Washington.
No longer can a few adroit manipula
tors dictate party platforms and name
candidate* Thia prerogative. which
our forefathers intended should be
vested in the people only, has been re
stored to the electorate of this state
through the passage of the direct pri
mary law. The people exercised that
prerogative for the first time last
summer. They have chosen their
representatives for the various admin
istrative positions and through them
the people rule.
•'Efforts were made by some of the
candidates in the late primary elec
tion to defeat the purpose of the law
and violate its spirit by filing declar
ations solely for the purpose of aiding
or defeating other candidates for the
same office. Such an abuse of the
law should not be tolerated, but
should be made illegal and penalties
should be provided for those who do
not file their dec' rations In good
faith.
"Political parties have been iu ex-
■ istence since the foundation of the
nation and party primary election
laws should no' be continued which
1 tend to bring about the severance of
, party ties.
i
\ party responsible for the char
acter and efficiency of its candidates
and standing tor a concrete princi
ple or policy is able to contribute to
' the weirare of the state or natloq In a,
greater degree than i disorganised
muss having no recognized political
affiliation or no harmonion ixilltical
i relationship. i he existing primary
election law should,
_______ therefore, be
amended in accordance with this pol-
1 icy.”
