ANY one elected under such condi-
lions would probably be the choice
OF minority OF the voters. All the
republican aspiraa.s agreeing to sub
NIT to the decision Of n convention
of their party, this condition will be
avoided. and the successful eandi-
date will have the prestige and NOR

The judge chosen in this way VIII
be 10 more and no less "partlzan
Judge than if chosen from nomina-
ton papers. Judge jerks is no bet
ter, no more impartial, in adminis-
tering his office than he would have
been had his election followed anon
nation by u democratic convention,
and he is no less partizan because
Of the method of his nomination.
So it may be s1id of the other gentle
men aspiring to the position-Capt.
Richard Carter, Mr.. j. =. Smoker
and Mr.. j. Hoskins. Either of them
will discharge the duties as faith
fully and as justly if elected as IL
republican nominee as II chosen IN
another way, and neither OF them
will be more II partizan because II
convention nominated INN.
Neither does the calling OF con
vention imply that the election OF II
Judge is to be decided by political
party considerations. The manner
OF nomination is not relied upon To
determined the result, but is adopted
that it may be known whether or
not Il majority of the people desire u
continuance of the present incum-
bent. If there were three or four can
didates in the field, aud Judge jerks
were elected, receiving less votes
than the others combined, it would
rs clearly indicate that majority
preferred some other to him rs II he
were defeated with only two names
on the election ballot. Those who
desire to retain the present incum-
bent in office will vote for him, not
outstanding the republican conven-
ton; those who desire II change III
the utlice will vote together for thc
nominee OF that convention instead
of otherwise scattering their votes.
The gentlemen whose names are
expected to come before the republic

plies for the nomination of q state
senator. In this senate district, COM
posed Of Grant ard Iowa counties,
there are IS election recincts-2l IN
Iowa and 81 In Grant. The vote for
Mckinley in the district was about
1900. To get on primary election
ballot for senator, a candidate will
need Io2 names on nomination pa
pers from at least ) different pre-
cincts in Iowa county and in Grant.
For member OF congress for the 3rd
district candidate will need have on
nomination papers the names of $40
republican voters, representing at
least four different counties,-the
vote for Mckinley being 1900 or
over, and there being eight counties
IN the district.
a candidate for any state office,
to secure place on the republican
primary election ballot, would need
to have 1872 signers, distributed
through not less than twelve coun-
ties, based OH the the vote for Nc
Kinley in the state in 1900, which
was 265,9l6.
These Illustrations show only the
requirements for getting names OH a
party primary ballot. Provision is
made that those represented on the
ballot at "a previous general election
by individual nominations may have
primary election ballot, and be
considered a party if any Of said in
dividual nominees received one per
cent of the total vote cast at such
election. But there are certain re-
quirements still to be complied with.
Each signer to II petition must give
his business and place of residence
and declare in such petition that he
is u member Of the party named
therein, and he may sign for only
one nomination for the same office.
1t is provided that there must be a
separate nomination paper for each
precinct. TO each such paper must
be attached the affidavit of some
elector of such precinct to tho effect
that he personally knows that all
who signed it are qualified voters
and members of the party. Such
affidavit, however, cannot be made
by candidate.
