pense besides. Many of our people
do not oven take their county papors
and since the patont outsides have
come in vogue, with few creditab!o
exceptions, tho county newspapers
have deteriorated very sensibly from
what they were Is years ago. Com
petition has csused thcm to reduce
their subscription and while tho sub
scrlbers get as much as they pay for,
it is nevertheless evident that the
newspapers do not furnish as much
and as good news as they used to.
In regard to the State committee
fixing the dates for the meetings in
the campaign, it has been consid
sldered necessary in order to pro-
vent q clash in counties, and always
to arrange tho meetings IN rotation
so that i'll gwen week certain con.
tiguous territory might bo covered.
Ii tho papers of the State could be
induced to give fair, full and un-
biased reports Of speeches.; and hon.
est and truthful statements as to the
numbers and happenings at the
meetings, the objections which you
have urged against tho present sys
TEN would leave hardly any reason
Tor It's continuance, and by this I
GO not moan the daily papers alone,
for they are read to very limited
oxtent except in tho towns, and the
masses of tho voters read only week
lies. 1t seems that arrangements
could be made to have speeches
given on the patent outsides inst A.
easily as to have stories and trusl
which now appear in them.
After all do not know that we
need TO Eo worried much about tho
matter. Any man who can make
such II speech as the people want to
hear and give them instructions or
amuse them will always Le able to
obtain an audience; and if they do
not want a man to talk any longer
they will let him know it, Then by

reversing tho order of speaking and
alternating days every man will
hayo u fair chance. If tho crowds
have como to hear any special man
thoy will make it known and the
othors will voluntarily hurry thr rJugh
and get out OF the way.
Whatever is dono We should cling
to tho freedom Of disussion and ioint
debate and tho primary system as the
very essence Of Democracy. Rather
than give these up it would be better
to coniine the speeches to candidates
for governor alone. The other State
house officers do not outline politics,
but are largely administrative officers,
while the governor not only influences
Legislation, but by the uso Of the ap-
pointing power and veto controls pub
lie affairs if he should be man of
any forco and ability. 1t may be worth
whilo to try the plan Of having no
meetings under the auspices of the
State committee, but turn all the can
dldatcs loose and, let them arrange
tholr own meetings., or attend such as
the county committees arrange and
the people who get up picnics invite
them to, but until the newspapers
change their policy Of recent years,
| ind also be moro industrious in
furnishing tho voters with readable
and fair and reliable reports Of what
is being said and done by the candid
ates, the system Of joint discussion in
one form or another will be demand
cd ny tho people and no candidate
can safely neglect it. One of Jeffsr-
sons maxims was "teach the people
and trust tho people" and under the
existing conditions in our State there
is no certain way to have this done
except through the medium of private
debate. Yours Sincerely,

and to make such cha.yca and am.
endmcntS to the constitution of the
Democratic party in this State as may
seem desirable for the proper conduct
OF the coming campaign.
The object Of this communication
is to ask your opinion as to the prop
erty and desirability of amcndiA &
article | OF tho constitution Of the
Democratic party Of this State, which
reads as follows:
Article i. Before the election in
lS0O,and each election thereafter, tho
State Democratic executive committee
shall issue Il call to all candidates for
State Office to address tho people of
the different counties of this State,
fixing the dates Of tho meetings and
also inviting tho candidates for con.
gress, United States senate and for
solicitors lin thoir respective districts
and circuits, to be present and address
the people. at such Meetings only tho
candidates above set forth shall be al
lowed to speak.
Tho above article is mandatory. 1t
requires the State Democratic cxacn
tive commitle, to formulate the sched-
ule for the whole State campaign
without giving tho county executive
committees Of the various counties any
voice in the arrangement Of tho time
and place Of meeting for their respec-
tive counties. Quite number of poo
pie, and with apparent good reason,
think that this article of the party con.
stitution should be either entirely alb.
rogated, or at least so,amended as to
give the individual counties a voice
in making the schedule of tho meot,
ings. The most potent reasons ad-
duced in behalf of such change of
amendment in the constitution of our
party are these: Y
First. THE county eyecrtiva oon,
mittee, of tho several counties, know.
ing the desire and the need of the
people in their respective counties
better than is possible for the State
executive committee to know, should
have the privilege Of fixing a time
and g l place for the State campaiag
