1t appears from the admission act that
Governor Leslie, Secretary Webb and
Chief Justice Wade Gf he be in off1ce) are
to divide Montana into districts, which
shall in the aggregate elect rs delegates.
Cascade may be divided into two districts,
as the law says that each district shall
elect three delegates. The apportion-
ment is to be based on population. Each
elector can vote for only two delegates
This is done in order to give the minority
some representation. Thus in a district
where there are 800 democrats and 40(
republicans the poll might stand thus
Roe (dem.) 600; Doe (dem) 600; Jones
(rep.) 400. In some places where this
method is used, the electors manage BY
dividing their votes to elect all OF the
same party. The time for the election @
officers is left to the constitutional con
vention, which may decide that they shal
be elected October l, when the constitu
ton comes up for ratification. As regard
county officers, that also rests with th
convention, but if the constitution Of 1888
is held to be in force there will no douh
he an election in October or November.
