seems to consider that it may be pro-

to nominate a candidate for tho u. S.
Senate. or for that and other matters
relating to the election OF such n can
didate. There we differ with our con-
temporary, IL we apprehend Its mean
ing.
At this stage of the matter, we are
confident that this May conference has
no right beyond the expression of an
opinion for the people OF the party, and
perhaps to go SO far as to advise and
urge the people Of the party for or
against this or that; but no right at
all to attempt to direct the party
through any of its official representa-
tives toward any action al all. We
think that would be an unfair and un.
authorized Use of the influence OF the
conference. which is called merely for
the expression OF opinion. In this It
may appeal to the people in their prl-
mary action; but to attempt more, or
go further, IS beyond what was pro-
posed and. SO to speak, taking "snap
judgment" without notice or any pro-
per warrant.
The conference, thus, may very well
suggest that the people, in their action.
