The precincts are not limited as to

determine the number of votes al
lowed each precinct, or Independent
delegation. Delegates and alter
mates should be chosen.
In selecting delegates for all i'm
portant body like a county conven-
ton, Democrats are warned to
choose none for their Representatives
except well tried Democrats, who
have proved their sincerity.
Select your best men, on
whose prudence, sincerity and per-
sonal disinterestedness you can rely,
to carry out your views, or whose
judgment you are willing to trust.
Select men who will reflect your
sentiments representative men
whose action from their known
character will inspire confidence in
the many. Novices, new converts and
Democrats of an hour should be
content with a reasonable probation
in the party before either advising
it or undertaking its guardianship or
leadership. Send none but trusted
and well tried Democrats in whose
soundness and reliability there can
be no doubt.
1t is left to the primary mass meet
ings as 10 whether they will instruct
their delegates as to their choice.
1t is within the jurisdiction
of the Democrats assembled in pri-
mary meetings to declare their
choice or to leave it within the
discretion of their delegates to act
for them according to their best
judgment. 1t is according to party
usage to elect delegates either in
cretlOnary power.
Let each mass meeting determine
for itself, but when action is had let
it be final and accept results deter
mined by the will of the majority in
assembled.
