' TWO PLANS SUGGESTED One Idea is Thnt There Should be) a ' General Primary Before the Con vention to Include all State Offices And One Favor a Primary for 8en!r After the Convention. , Raleigh, July , 20. There la con siderable diversity of opinion, here in the discussion .of the probable course of the impending senatorial content and the proposed senatorial primary for trying out the strength; of the four candidates with the peo ple. The view Is expressed by aoms that there should be a general pri mary tor toe party called by the state executive committee before the state democratic convention next July and tbat this primary should be for all state officers a well as for senator. Against this proposition there Is thei contention that the executive com mittee would have no moral right to call such a primary, for th reason, that , the laBt legislature definitely refused after long and spirited dis cussion to enact a general state pri mary law a decidedly detrimental to the Intereats of the . democratic party, especially Jn the west , ; Tbe other solution of tbe primary problem is that it should be a ques tion for the state convention in July, the convention to adjust the detail to assure the complete settlement of the. fight at the polls ao that there could be no development tbat would ultimately precipitate this contest in the 1913 legislature.' The, advocates of this plan of primary would have it prescribed by the convention that no one be allowed to vote tor senator who does not show that he has Just voted the full state democratic ticket before he offers to take a hand In the primary vote for senator. The end that all sealous demoe ats Jeatoua for the welfare of tbe party and Its unification desire especially to see attained is the keeping of the senatorial fight from undue Influence on the state ticket, especially the nomination for governor, around which the principal state ticket con test will center. They want to see this aenatorlal contest pulled off In such way as will leave the party In standard fighting trim a against th opposing political party, and it la generally regarded a th weightiest problem that the atate organisation the state chairman and executive committee has to solve to ateer the party through thla senatorial clash and In the end present a solid and victorious front in the general elec tion and for future conflict. .
