PRIMARY BILL UPT060VERN0R FOR HIS ACTION Measure Providing for Nomi nation of State Officers Be low Governor by Conven- ( tion Gets Attention.. (By a Staff Correspondent) Lincoln, April , 16. (Special.) Prospects for winding up the 'thirty-seventh session of the legislature late Wednesday night went glim mering when, some of the senate and house leaders announced their intention of waiting until Governor McKelvie had an opportunity to act upon ; the bill amending the state primary law, which passed the sen ate late Tuesday night. The bill had previously passed the house and went to the governor for signature. Governor McKelvie today indi cated that he had not definitely made up his mind what he would do with regard to the primary bill. Discussing it with newspaper men he expressed the belief that it was legislation which required careful consideration. The governor ' said that he had not expected it to come up at the session because it was not in the platform of either party and the people had not been given an opportunity to express their eenti menta on the matter. ' . The bill, which substitutes the convention system of nominating officers below governor, in the opinion of the governor might be harmful to the real reform. Mr. McKelvie' said that he believed the short ballot offered a relief from the present admitted evils and he be lieved ' that the proposed change would, if anything, work against the short ballot. . , Testimony Not in Record.
