ever, entirely by the party by which
nomination is to be made.
In one of these two ways delegates
are chosen to represent the primary
political divisions the ward in CITY.
the town or township in the country
in the state and congressional district
conventions. From this point the in.
dividual vote has no further share in the
choice of candidates.
The district convention usually con-
fines itself to the choice of two delegates
and two alternates 10 the national con-
vention. Sometimes, nevertheless, it
votes resolution, or series of resolu-
tions, concerning the principal public
| questions at issue. Not infrequently it
also names the candidates for congress,
for members of the house of representa-
tives are always elected in "presiden-
tial year"
The state convention names four del
egates and four alternates. The en-
tire delegation Of a state in the national
convention is equal to the number of it's
senator's and representatives in con-
gress multiplied by two. A comprehen.
sive statement of the party's principles
and policies is also an invariable part of
the programme. Such a pronounce
ment in one state, however, usually diff
fers in more or less essential respects
from similar utterances in other states,
and is always of interest as Indicating
the views of the candidate whose sup
porters are in control.
Either the district or the state con,
vention may, if it choose, instruct its
delegates to vote for particular candi-
date, or for special plank" as the
phrase is, in the platform of the ma
tional convention. Whatever instruc.
tions are given or the delegates left free
to exercise their discretion is usually de.
termined by state precedentS; but
sometimes instructions are withheld be.
cause there is not clear majority for
any one candidate.
When the great national conventions
assemble, temporary president desig.
mated by the national committee takes
the chair; but after that everything is
in the hands of the delegates. The
method of nominating candidates and
of constructing the platform is too
"Sii hho"h W require u description. !
In the democratic convention two. |
thirds vote is required to make a nom.
ination. In all other parties a major.
ity vote is sufficient.
All this elaborate machinery is
deemed necessary for naming each /
candidate for the presidency. When
we remember that multitudes of other
candidates for other offices are named
annually, the Importance of the NOM
mating convention is apparent. 1t has
taken years to perfect the system. Not
until 1910 was the plan of holding ma
tional conventions generally adopted.
1t is criticised by foreigners as giving
an advantage to professional poll
ticians, since its perplexity is somewhat
to the individual voter. In
the primaries, however, which lie at
the base of the whole, the Individual
voters have the means of controlling
party policies and candidates. David
Dudley Field, the eminent reformer.
was fond of declaring: "The primary
is the pivot of reform. .-Youth's Com

Fast-walkIng Farm Horses.

Any good breed of trotting horses, or
any horse which has thoroughbred
blood in its veins, can by practice be
made to walk fast. No common-b bred
animal can be made u fast walker. A
fast walker is made by careful exercise
in that gait and it is delightful one for
q traveller if his steed walks four to
five miles an hour. 1t is also very i'm
portant to the farmer to have a fast
walking team; but it depends much on
the rider or driver whether horse ever
attains this highly esteemed quality

Summer Homes.

In the Lake regions of Wisconsin, North
ern Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa and Dakota,
there are hundreds of charming localities
pre-eminentiy fitted for summer homes
Nearly all are located on or near lakes
which have not been fished out. These re-
sorts are easily reached by railway and
range IN variety from the ''full dress for
dinner" to the flannel-shirt costume for
every meal. Among the list are names IA
miliar to many of our readers as the perfec-
ton OF Northern summer resorts. Nearly
all of the Wisconsin points of interest are
within short distance from Chicago or
Milwaukee, and none of them are so far
away from the 'busy marts of civilizationn
that they cannot be reached in few hours
OF travel, by frequent trains, over the finest
road in the northwest-the Chicago, Mil

Cook Rides a Bike.

A lady living in the upper part of New
York wanted a cook who would go
home. at night, and put an advertise
ment in the paper setting forth her
needs. Among the applicants was a
negro woman of huge proportions. The
lady looked at the negress and thought
of her little kitchen. She did not want
to state the real reason, for fear of Civ
ing offense, so she said: I'm afraid
that you would not get here in time
in the morning, you live SO far down
town." Don't you fear about that,
honey" said the negress; sit won't take
me no time to come up on my bike
The lady regrets now that she did not
ask this wheelwoman whether she wore
bloomers or knickerbockers.

WHY LATIN is USED.

Good Reasons for a Doctors Writing q
Prescription in a Dead Language.
'sWhy doesn't the doctor write his
prescription in English instead of
Latin ?'' asked a man of a druggist.
whose reply the New York Herald pub
fishes:
In the first place, Latin is. a more ex-
act and concise language than English,
and being a dead language, does not
change, as all living languages do.
Then, again, since very large part
of all drugs in use are botanical, they
have in the pharmacopoeia the same
names that they have in botany-the
scientific names. Two-thirds of such
drugs haven't any English names, and
so couldn't be written in English.
But suppose doctors did write pre-
scription in English for an uneducated
patient. The patient reads it, thinks
he remembers it, and so tries to get it
filled from memory the second tina.
Suppose, for instance, it called for
iodide of potassium, and he got it con-
fused with cyanide of potassium. He
could safely take ten grains of the first,
but one grain of the second would kill
him.
That's an extreme case, but it will
serve for an illustration. Don't you see
how the Latin is a protection and a
safeguard to the patient? Prescrip-
tions in Latin he can't read, and con-
sequently does not try to remember.
Now for a final reason. Latin is a
language that is used by scientific men
the world over, and no other language
is. You can get a Latin prescription
filled in any country on the face of the
earth where there is a drug store.
We had prescription here the othec'
day which we had put up originally,
and which had since been stamped by
druggists in London, Paris, Berlin, Con
stantinople, Cairo and Calcutta. What
good would an English prescription be
in ST. Petersburg?

A Good Example.

Several young ladies set good ex-
: ample at the last show which is well
worthy Of emulation. The floor al the
Baldwin is level. and the audience back
of the first five or six rows of seats have
quite an imperfect view of the stage
caused by ostrich feathers and ribbon,
which adorn the heads Of the fair sex.
There is now going on a popular crusade
leading to the removal by the ladies of
their hats during theatrical perform
ance, and many ladies, in the larger
cities, have endorsed it by removing
them. Several ladies removed their
hats at ''Finnigan's Ball. and the eff
feet from a masculine point OF view was
quite as pleasing as if they kept their
hats on, and we know those men imme-
diately back of them loved them the
better for. doing so, if that is reason
for wearing the hats. On behalf of the
public who pay their money to attend a
show, and in behalf of the opera house
management, who would be better pat,
ronized if their patrons could be assured
of good view of the stage, we urge that
the ladies of The Dalles adopt the sem
sible style set at the last show and re-
move their hats. There is good sense in
It; there is appreciation for the rights

The New York papers are beginning
to take an interest in the great bicycle
parade suggested by The Times.
They say in the articles which appear IN
their columns that the demonstration is to
he a great success. How great a success
they do not know. That parade is simply
going to throw into the shade anything that
New York has ever seen In that line. 1t
would he well for representatives OF some
of the clubs Of the metropolis to come over
to Washington and secure some points on
how a bicycle parade should be managed.
They could get them without the least
bit OF trouble and il would help immensely
in the future.
A WEEKS WORK
The progress made in the preparations
for this great wheel festival is almost
wonderful. The result shows that the
wheeimen are wide awake and are using
their best efforts to make it. success
Nothing that The Times has ever undertaken
has fallen through aud this parade will
NOT lie the first break In a long line OF sue
ccsses. The fact that 1t Is Times idea is
a guarantee OF success.
During the week Just ended the work
accomplished has told. The delegate con

able to reach IA conclusion, and all were
anxious to do what they could to help the
good cause along.

TONIGHT'S MEETING.
The meeting OF the club delegates to-
night will be an important one. The
reports OF various committees are to be

THIS mas been Une UI Jie pfOUieins oue

Ia be The dividing OF the city into sec

itself and will be officered by its own

Tonight the selection OF judges will
have to be made and the best manner in
which they shall decide upon prizes.
This task rs much greater than II might

are among the most important matters 10
