THE CONVENTION.

THERE are some things which should
he held in view IN the short campaign
that precedes the elections on May IA.
l. Nominate strong men-The fran
ing of a state constitution is the most I'M
portapt work that can devolye on an
American statesman. The consequences
NAV be momentous. There is practical
w no limit to the authority of the conyen-
tion except the federal constitution. The
charter which the convention will frame
will be the supreme law of this state ana
will not be subject to amendment except
by popular vote. The covenant for such
the constitution may be called Will De
higher than the observation-disclosures than
the courts. The restraints which 1t will
impose ought to be salutary the power
which it confers ought to be carefully
and wisely bestowed. The provisions
concerning education, public lndepteo-
ness, taxation, suffrage and elections, ap-
portionment and tenure of office should
all bear the impress of Justice and saga
CITY. In order that the convention may
not be dominated by few men OF ex-
perience in public life, each district
should send there its ablest men, regard
less Of locality, personal popularity OF
party services. Shrewd, level-headed
business men who have no axes to grind
are needed to restrain partizan schemes
and legislate wisely for the public at
| large. Cascade county has set noble
example in this respect. Paris Gibson
and T. E. Collins have had long expert
ance in public life and will 60 to the con
vention untramelled by any interests
save those o: the people ........
| TT. Do not dicker. The democrats, who
have placed two strong candidates in the
field, have done their duty. Let the minor
ity fight it out among themselves. The
democrat who divides his ticket because
he thinks his vote can be spared runs the
risk of defeating his own candidates
The democrat who votes for one candl
date in order to place him ahead OF al
others, breaks faith with his own party
Vote the straight democratic ticket. d.
not bother your head about deals ant
combinations. Be sure that your ticket !
the right one, then go ahead. .-a."
1 III. Vote early. There is no polling
place in Cascade county, for instance
which is very far from any ranch therein
See that your neighbor votes as we'll a
yourself. Many needless electors viii
act on hint that they ought to go to tn
polls. Do not be over-confdent and sa
that your vote will not be needed. l
many others did likewise, the most popu
lar candidates might be defeated.
Nv. Talk reasonably and courteousl
with opponents, but avoid angry dis
putes. Do not entrap them into betting
for a man who makes a bet can't be res
soned into voting for others afterwart
Discuss county and state interests, rathe
than party affairs. Above all take
lively, intelligent interest in the contes
and send the TRIBUNE any news Of pull
: lie interest. =5-

HOW 10 CANVASS THE VOTEs.

In answer to a letter of inquiry from
Governor White, Attorney General Clay
berg throws light upon some questlons
likely to arise. out of the election to be
held next Tuesday. One is:
In case delegate district is made up
OF precincts from more than one county to
whom shall the precinct returns be made?
In answer Attorney General Clayberg
says: "After the polls are closed, the
votes should be counted and the poll
books prepared and forwarded by the
Judges of election in each voting precinct,
as provided in sections 1923 and 1881, the
9th Div. Revised Statutes. These poll
books from the several precincts are, un-
der the statute, the precinct returns, and
the returns of each precinct, irrespective
Of the delegate district to which said pre-
cinct has been apportioned, must be sent
to the clerk Of the county board Of com
missioners Of the county in which sad
precinct is situated
The commissioners are then, within the
time fixed by law, to canvass the votes OF
all the precincts in the county, after
which the clerk forwards an abstract to
the territorial auditor. The U. s. mar
shall and territorial auditor, within sc
days after the election, canyasses the re-
turns and declares the result, when GER
tificates are issued to the delegates by the
governor and secretary, Mr.. Clayberg
says: 1T therefore appears that neither
the Judges Of election in the several pre-
cincts, nor the county commissioners @
county board have anything to do will
determining or declaring what delegate
have been elected, but their duty is pure
| ly to make returns, and the duty of de
termining and declaring what delegate
have been elected is by this statute plain

Bishop POTTER has created q wide
spread sensation by his centennial sermon
which, it is said, President Harrison and
Vice President Morton heard with spain
ed surprise" He SAID, in effect, that we
have fallen very low from the 'austere
simplicity" Of the Washingtonian period
and that those who shear rule" presuma-
bly, the president, should possess character
so fine, so high and so pure that people
would pay homage to it. It is, however,
his explanation that adds emphasis to
Bishop Potter's remarks. To an inter
viewer. he said "Apply what | said re-
garding my estimate of the presidential
office to the present situation. How much
time has Harrison given to statesman
ship? Not an hour. Not an instant, so
far as anybody knows. He was put
where he is to maintain the nations Dig
nifty, to protect the rights Of the poor and
rich, to rule, not to engage in barter and
trade. But, alasl what spectacle we
have! We behold the president Of the
1 United States Of America intent only on
getting congressman out of the house at
night, so that he can go to bed. What's
the use of beating about the bush in this
matter? 1t makes me very tired" II
the same interview Bishop Potter said
"The pulpit does not speak out as il
should. These plutocrats are enemies o.
religion, as they are Of the state. And
not to mince matters, will say that while
I had the politicians il mind PROMINENT.
there ARE Others / tell you I hav'
heard the corrupt use of money in TIN
elections and the sale of the sacred RICH
of the ballot openly defended by minis
tiers Of the gospel. may find it neces
sary to put such men Of the sacred offic
in the public pillory." Be it understood
that Bishop Potter, who censures Harris
) on for misusing his time with office-seek
ers, is republican and avows 1t.

THE democrats of this district have
nominated two of their strongest men;
men who will reflect credit upon them
selves and constituents in the convention;
men who are closely identified with the
interests of this county, and there is not
single reason why every democrat
should not vote for them, as we believe
they will. Our republican friends have
not been fortunate in making their ticket
and as a consequence many OF them will
vote for the popular candidates-Gibson
and Collins.
