DiSCUSS STATE PRIMARY LAW ; :*? . •s, ~ War.t Legislature to Pass a Primary Law That Will Bs Binding For All Political Parties. Raleigh.—The Impression is ftrong among public men here that the leg islature that is to convene in Janu ary will have about its hardest fight over the passage of a state primary law that will bo binding for all po litical parties. There was a stronf effort to pass such a bill two years ago, but it failed after one of the most spirited debates the house had. Thir time it is said that there will be much stronger forces behind it and that the indicatons are that it will be enacted into law without doubt The strongest opposition among the Democrats twc years ago to the primary bill were the western members. This time National Committeeman Josephus Daniels and s number of others of the strongest party leaders are determined In their purpose to secure such a law at the hands of the incoming legislature. There are indications that a decid edly progressive measure that is sure to be urged upon the legislature is that for initiative and referendum, possibly in some modified form. It is the prevailing opinion here that such an act will not have as smooth sail ing as a state primary act is expected to have. It is understood that the initiative and referendum measure will probably be offered by on. E. J. Justice of Greensboro, who Is an earn est advocate if this system. It looks like there is sure to be some sort of a modified form of Tor rens system for land titles enacted. It Is not generally believed that the incoming legislature will be progres sive to any marked degree. North Carolina New Enterprises.
