\\ ASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—The pres
idential primary, now the vogue in a
full score of states, not only has be
come the bugbear of the old time pol
itician but has also accomplished the
rout of the time-honored practice of
delaying the announcement of candi
dacies until the last possible moment
in order to size up the field. Today
in many states candidates must get
off the fence many weeks before the
national convention and say wheth
er they will or they will not.
The beginning of the .1924 primary
season now is a bare five months off,
and the filing of papers required of
candidates in many cases already has
become a burning question among
those who cannot decide whether or :
not they hear the popular call. Such
decisions must be made much earlier :
than in times gone by, and as a con-I
sequence of the spread of the primary j
system the next few weeks, are ex- j
pected to see the crop of candi
dates reach a stage much more ad
vanced than the average for pre
sidential years in the past.
:t The first primary, that in New
Hampshire will be held March 11.
North Dakota will follow a week later
and seven additional states controll
ing some of the largest delegations
that sit in national conventions will
have voted before the end of April.
Here is the full list of those having
presidential primary laws, with the
dates for the primary election of all
parties.
California, Tuesday, May 6.
Florida, Tuesday, June 3.
Georgia, to be fixed by state com
mittees.
Illinois, Tuesday, April 8.
Indiana, Tuesday, May 6.
Maryland, Monday, May 5.
Massachusetts, Tuesday, Apr. 29.
Michigan, Monday, April 7.
Montana, Tuesday, May 27.
Nebraska, Tuesday, April 15.
New Jersey, Tuesday, April 22.
New Hampshire, Tuesday, March
11th.
North Carolina, Saturday, June 7.
North Dakota, Tuesday, March 18.
Ohio, Tuesday, April 29.
Oregon, Friday, May 16. (
Pennsylvania, Tuesday, April 22.
South Dakota, Tuesday, May 27.
West Virginia, Tuesday, May 27.
Wisconsin, Tuesday, April 1.
The presidential primary law of
Florida does not apply to a party vot
ing less than 35 per cent of the total
vote in the previous general election.
This eliminates the Republican par
ty from a presidential primary and
leaves its delegates to be chosen by
convention in that state.
