Presidential Electors Must AL! BE
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
RrPuBLICAN STArE COMMITTEE,

AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN, !. 400.
TO tho Republicans Of Maine:-Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated in State con-
vention. and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are por
ton of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by tho Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed in nominal
ton by convention representing no less
constituency than the whole State.
Hence, all the candidates of n party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention. and l have there
fore included in the call six electors.

crop t.all in and would not be bene-
fitted by any amount Of rain. The
heavy showers which fell at Bottineau
and other points north and west did a
vast amount Of good, however, and in
some localities the wheat has recuper-
ated Wond derfully, and the flax crop at
the present time is very promising and
with continued favorable weather will
make big yield. The cool weather
the t latter part Of the week was not
favorable to the wheat that was ma
turing too rapidly with no moisture in
sight, and il the present storm period
should t result in a general soaking rain
the present disposition in business cir

Etion would be greatly strengthened.
