Conference Nominations under The
 Minority Law. s &

eE - s#%
 For the judicious application of the minority law some preliminary arrange ment of nominations is necessary in towns where minorities are not strong enough to contest the control of boards with maiori- ties. In Litchfeld, for instance, the Re- publicans will probably nominate but two selectmen, two assessors and two of the board of relief. leaving the Democrats the three remaining members of each board. It is a matter of considerable con- sequence that the respective officers should be distributed throughout the va rious parts of the town. Suppose, for in- stance, that each party makes it's nomina- tions independent of the other We might have two assessors in Northfeld or two in Milton, or two in each. The sensi- ble way to meet this difficulty will be for the respective party caucuses to meet at the same time, and, by means of confer ence committees make a suitable distri- button of officers throughout the various parts of the town. This is especially necessary in the case of'assessors, though we are by no means certain that it is best for assessors to take charge of the dis tricts in which they themselves reside. s
 We must also urge upon the lRepubli- cans of this county their duty of at- tending the nominating caucuses. The only practical objection to the new law'is that it makes the overthrow of bad nom- ination in caucus Of the minority almost Impossible. The majority nominations remain. however. as open to attack as be- fore the passage of the law. Minorities should take especial pains, therefore. to attend their caucuses and to see that no interested cliques impose bad nominations upon them. M
