regulation of party primaries from 1866 down to 1908, to sum UP

dealing with the theory or practice of the primary system, newspapers 
and periodicals, extensive correspondence and interviews with persons 
who had had special opportunities for judging the primary laws in the 
different states, and, finally, personal observation of the primary election
