A New System Needed.

The new primary election law presents
q conundru4n to the politicians. What
will become of county, congressional and
judicial organization? There will be nc
congressional conventions and no judi
cial conventions. The only county con
ventions will be those called to select
delegates to the state convention. The
old system will have to be replaced by
something new, framed to fit the pri-
mary law.
There are three possible ways of select
ing county committee. First, let the
candidates pick the committee, after the
primary election; second, let the county
convention which elects delegates to the
state convention also name the cam
paign committee; third, the Minneapolis
plan, adopted to conform with the pr1-
mary law. This last is a sort of pyramid
system and is gaining in favor. It will
have many advocates, especially in Min
neapolis, where its workings have given
much satisfaction.
The objection to the first plan is that
committee distasteful to the county
candidates have only seven weeks for
work, and would take the reins from the
old committee right in the middle of the
state campaign. To do effective work
for the state ticket, the same committee
should handle the campaign all the way
through.
The second plan is open to another
objection. 1t might result in the nam
ing of committee distasteful to the
county candidates and even hostile to
some of them. This same objection
might be urged against the Minneapolis
plan, but the pyramid scheme has this
advantage. It results in committee
chosen by the rank and file of the party.
It gets more effective work out of the
precinct committees.
Under the Minneapolis plan, when the
| voters of the party caucus for the county
convention, each precinct selects cam
paign committee of five. This committee
meets and elects chairman and secre-
tary. The chairman of the precinct
committees constitute the ward com
mittee. Each ward committee elects a
member of the county campaign COM
mittee, and in Hennepin county the
country towns elect four members of this
committee, making seventeen in all. In
a rural county, one step in this progress
would be left out, and the county com
mittee would be even nearer the voters
than it is in Hennepin. Minneapolis

LACK OF CARS HURTS
COAL MINING BUSINESS

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 26.-Secretary
Wilson of the United Mine Workers of
America, said tonight that the lack
of transportation facilities is doing a
permanent injury to the coal mining
business throughout the country. The
shortage of fuel in the larger cities, he
thinks, will accustom the people to
burn small quantities, so hereafter
they will know by experience that it
will not be necessary to buy as heavily
as they have when the market was
well supplied.
He believes this will lessen the future
demand and have a tendency to hurt
the business. The lack of transporta-
ton facilities, he said exists throughout
the entire mining district of the United
States. Many mines have been shut
Gown and others are only operating
3 If time.
President Mitchell, vice president
Lewis and Secretary Wilson will be re-
elected without opposition at the ma
ttonal convention of the miners, which
will begin here in January. The nom
nation blanks have been sent out to
all of the local unions and no other
names for these positions have been
presented.
A number of reports have been cir
9ulated recently to the effect that
President Mitchell intends to retire to
engage in some other business, but he
has decided to remain at the head of
the organization for at least another
year.
