P example of the preferential | Pimary as conducted by Massach @etts is & farce and a fadlure, It amounts to nothing but an expression with 20 binding force and has demon- strated that It is abounding with pit- falis and delusions.

In this situatien the pref- @ence is of mo account whatever, though it is supposed to guide the at- titade of the delegates selected.
