nominate Charles n Herreid for gov
ernor. His case is marked instance
Of the office virtually seeking the man.
He was born Oct 20 1857, in Wiscon-
sin, where his father was one of the
pioneer farmers. Herreid spent three
years at the Galesville university. He
then read law in an Office one year, and
having finished the two years course,
in 1882 graduated in the law de
partment of the University of

TIE Election Of .senafors.

F. NJ. Simmons, Democrat, will sue
coed Marion Butler, the Populist, in
the senate from North Carolina. The
legislature chosen Nov. will practi-
cally have nothing to do but register
the choice of the people. This is be-
cause at the state primaries held by
the Democrats of North Carolina last
April the voters recommended" the
selection of Mr.. Simmons. In the same
way the Democrats at the primaries in
Arkansas last spring recorded their
tor Berry over ex-senator Jones. These
methods of nominating senator are
not recognized by federal or state laws
Yet members are frequently nominated
pledged in advance after contest in
the primaries. In Montana and in
Pennsylvania the fitness of legislative
candidates was entirely lost sight OF in
the struggle for the legislature. In
these states rival candidates of the
same party contended in many dis
tricts, he division being on the sena-
torship. In this indirect way Clark's
election from Montana seems assured
and Quay's from Pennsylvania is pos
sible. These are facts which seem to
show that there is much merit in the
North Carolina plan. At all events 1t
enables the legislature to get down to
business at once without a prolonged
struggle over the senatorship, which
