Jfty HARllY n. HUNT
WASHINGTON, July 19. Exten
sion of tho primary law, rather than
Its repeal, must bo iccurod If pop
ular government Is to bo perpetuated,
says Senator Arthur Capper, republi
can, of Kansas,, bead ot tho farm
block and recognized as a national
progressive Icqjler.
Evidences ot a careful, systematic
propaganda to underrolno public con
fidence In stato primary lawn with a
view to bringing about their repeal
and a return to the selection of can
didates by party conventions is seen
under the recent criticism of pri
maries by Presldont Harding. Secre
tary ot War Weeks and Senator Wat
con of Indiana.
"1 cannot go along with tho presi
dent, Weeks and Watson." Capper '
declare. "Instead ot abolishing o
limiting the primary, It must be ex
tended. "I hopo to sec tbe day when nom
inations for president wilt be by pop
ular primary. When the day comes,
wo shalf bo getting on toward a real

must havo moro volco, not less voice,
In their government and in tho selec

"Ono ot tho Xlrst steps la extending
tho primary SkoiTJ'Ve selection of
national committeemen by popular
vote. That would give tbe rank and
file of tho parties a voice. It has
none now.
"Of course tbe reason for tho dis
satisfaction of 'party leaders' with
the primaries is not hard to find.
Rcculte of recent primary eloctlons
In which tho people havo rojectod
'organization' candidates and nomin
ated men of their own cholco, has
upset them.
"They blame Iho system. Yet tho
fact that tho primary gavo tho vot
ers a chance to namo thjtr own
cholco Instead of having a hand
picked organization candidate forced
on them lstthe best possible endorse
ment ot th'o primary principle.
"It tho peoplo aro not to hare a
