Colorado veto saves direct primary from return to conventions
James R Nourse reports Denver May 1 that Governor Morley vetoed a bill repealing Colorado’s direct primary law. The measure would have restored the convention system, concentrating nominations in a few delegates. Morley said the bill went too far and risked bossism, praising the direct primary instead. His veto, the first of his term, drew cross party commendation.
