Va., Aug. 15.—West Virginia republicans in state conven- tion here have mixed football thelr politics. The result was a noise similar to a grandstand full of gheer- ing collegians and not unlike & dem- onstration for a favorite son at a na- tional convention. It all came about when Fred O. Blue, temporary chairman of the con- vention, yesterday replied to eriticism made by the democrats at their state convention the day bofore, of the sal- ary paid the footbal coach at West Virginia University. Mr. Blue re- minded his hearers that the team rep- resenting the state institution had in. vaded the east and humbled the {mighty colleges there, thus adding laurels to the commonwealth of West Virginia.

This is slightly er- roneous. In the last presidential elec tion, for every 100 votes cast there were 194 people of voting age quali- fied to cast votes. Conditions in the past have buen no better, Only §0 per cent of qualified voters voted in 1896; 73 per cent in 1900; 66 per cent in 1904; 62 per cent in 1908; 62 per cent In 1912; and 50 per cent in 1920, Conditions, it will be noted from these figures, have been getting worse; and native horn citizens are the worst of- fenders, citizens who can read and write English, as there were 21,000,- 000 more native-born citizens of vot- ing age in 1920 than the entire num- ber of votes cast in the national elec- tion of that year. From this one can judge that our elections are not astonishingly super- ior to primary voting, which is cir- cumscribed by the necessityof declar- ing party affiliations, a declaration that a goodly part of the electorate rpfuses to make. I governorship candldates in Con- necticut were nominated by direct primaries the Republican machine would have small chance of selecting hand-picked candidates. J. Henry Roraback would have but a meagre opportunity to exercise the political powers he happens to command at present. Hiram Bingham would have much more of a battle on' his hands for the gubernatorial nomination. It is true that there are bosses in primary law states, but to judge how they howl about the primary law in- dicates how little they like it.

The President's speech ) also that “common scnse” will form a part of the battle cry.
