Presidential Electors Must All BE
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,
l0nA

AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. .. lVVO. )
To the Republicans Of Maine:-Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated in State con-
ventiou, 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 the Voters throughout the
whole state must be placed in nomina-
ton by convention representing no less
constituency than the whole State.
Hence, all tho candidates of a party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention, and | have there
fore included in the call six electors.
