Malranga was requested 10 ask
him what was the matter. PoliiZ
answered in the Slcilian tongue
that he wanted an Interpreter, aS

court. This created intense ex-
element among the prisoners, who,
however, under The steady gaze ol
the lawyers, refrained from show.

no interpreter in court one had t.

Whatever PoIirz said was said IN

CONVENTION VS.. PRIMARY.

We shall advocate this year th,
! nomination Of Democratic candi
dates by convention instead of b,
primary election. 1t is true tha
a nomination is, with much truth
said to be the election and the le
gal election simply a ratification
but is still true that a primary
does not more wisely or truely
express the will OF the people than
a convention. 1t is more expen-
sive, more easily manipulated by
wire pullers and Doodle, exposes
the party to treachery from with
in and intermeddling from with
out. 1t is inferior as a means of
making a wise and discreet choice
best calculated to fortily the par.
ty, both for reasons given and the
further reason that it does not
elicit such full and thoughtful ex-
preston of the party that its i'm
portance deserves. 1t is more ex-'
pensive and irritating, and in the
end no more satisfactory than a
convention. If a primary could be
confined to a strictly party vote,
and secure full and free expires
sion of the party with guarantee
of the backing of that entire vote
for the nominee in the legal elec-
ton it would fully fill the bill,
but it is well known that such is
not the case.
A conventions on the other hand, !
is a representative body, if prop
erly constituted, and voices the
best, wisest and most prudent de.
sire Of the party constituting. For
the interest of the party demands
that the choice should not only be |
efficient and honorable, but with |
these should combine strength to .
carry the party standard to victo
ry. And with this in view, con
is best calculated to Sc
cure the desired result. Not be
cause the masses are not capable
of doing the same thing by their
vote, but because the
primary election system robs
hem of the opportunity. And
his argument bears with greatest
orce upon the preset status of
lffairs. The new constitution has
it much more difficult to
determine the party strength, or
Who should be allowed to vote in
primary election as part of the
qualification of an elector can
,nly be determined by the pro-
luctiOn of tax receipts at the legal ,
lection.
