THE CRAWFORD SYSTEM.
Patriotic League Listens to DEFINITE on
prOm0seM primary ~Lm:nmti0n

a discussion of the Crawford county sys-
TEN of primaries drew a good attendance
to the club hall of the Patriotic League in
the Willard last night at which seventy-one
names were handed in for membership.
Charles A. Goss submitted a written eX-
PLANTATION of the proposed system of pri-
maries whereby nominations are practically
made at the primaries by a plurality vote
of the members of the party. T. w. Black
burn offered a resolution providing for =
modified form of the Crawford system,
whereby it requires a majority of all the
votes cast at the primaries for any office
to effect a nomination, and upon failure to
SO nominate the convention provided for
shall decide between the candidates.
In the discussion as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of the adoption Of either system the afRrma-
tive was taken by John n. Westberg along
with Messrs. Blackburn and Goss, while A.
w. Jefferis and H. H, Baldrige sustained the
negative. 1t was apparent that the system
is not in favor with many of those present,
although a vote was deferred for two weeks.
The program was announced for the open
ing of the new club rooms next Saturday
by a reception from 7 to 8 p. m. and a ban
quet, when speeches will be delivered as
follows:
Patriotic League, How Formed and Its
Object" Hon. John l.. Kennedy; True Re-
| publicanlsm," Hon. C. j. Greene; The Pres
