of the majority party would then read
For delegates to the constitutional con-
vention, John Doe, Richard Roe. The
tickets OF the minority party would be
printed thus: For delegate to the con
ssitutional convention. John Smith,
Bat If the two political parties were
nearly evenly divided and each claimed
or hoped to obtain the majority, each
would nominate two candidates for
delegates There would then be four
candidates, and the three who received
the greatest number OF votes would be
lected. This system is not what is
nown rs cumulative voting such as we
ave iu Illinois. 1t simply limits the
choice of eaoh voter to two persons,
while three persons are to be elected in
the district. The political party in the
minority, even if that minority be very
small, will be able to elect one delegate
in each district il good man is nomin-
ated aud if ell efforts of the minority
are directed in his favor.
My object in Incorporating this pro-
vision IN the bill was TO secure repre-
seutation in the convention for the mi
nority party in the district while the ma
jority party would havs the majority in
the convention and the power TO control
it. The minority should be represented
but the majority should rule. The
principle is especially desirable in q
constitutional convention which Ia to
frame the fundamental law, tho chief
object of which is che protection of the
rights OF minorities.

There has been some question rela-
tive to the minority report clause in the
statehood bill. In section three Of that
bill occurs the following passage:
But no elector shall vote
for more than two persons for delegates
to such conventions.
This occurs in connection with the
provision dividing the several terrific
ries into constitutional delegate dis
tricts aud providing that each district
shall be entitled to three delegates
While the electors OF q district elect
three delegates no one elector can, under
this bill, vote for more than two OF the
three delegates apportioned to the dis
tsict in which he resides. This unusual
provision has been variously understood
and misunderstood and to settle differ
