ELECTION OF MAGISTRATES AND
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The Messenger favors the return to
the law for selection OF county COM
m~issioners and justices of the peace
which was in force prior to the acts
of the legislature putting In effect the
amendments made to the constitution
by the convention of 1S75-their election
by the direct vote of the people. The
law of the interstate as it then stood
provided for this manner OF their Sc
lection. The people and they alone,
had the choice of the men who were to
be pnt in charge of county matters,
and these men were responsible for
their official conduct directly to the
people.
BY the amendments of 1875 this was
all changed. From the people was
taken his right. Since then the leg
islature has exercised the power,
granted under those amendments, to
appoint the justices of the peace and
they in turn appoint the county COM
missioners. and the people have no
voice whatever in these appointments.
When the legislature is ready to APP
point the magistrates lists are handed
in to the committee by the Legislators
and they are put through. These lists
are not the results of township or
county conventions. but in most
counties are prepared by the demo-
cratic executive committees or the few
democrats who are running the Oun
ty machine. The people are not sup
posed to have anything to say in the
matter and are not given an %opportun-
ity to express their views.
Under present conditions this is not
right and should be allowed to exist
no longer. This change in the state
constitution was made to relieve from
negro rule certain eastern counties and
place their affairs in the hands of COM
petent men. The many democratic
counties in the state which needed no
such protection submitted to this
change, and their people gave up the
right to choose their commissioners
and justices of the peace for the sake
of those negro-ridden counties. Since
the adoption Of the franchise amend
ment to our constitution there is no
III SoNh " uiAu -doOuI way
of electing these officers and the peo-
pies right, in his matter should be
restored to them.
Under the decisions of the supreme
court constituting the amendments of
1875 to the constitution, county govern
ments are not obliged to be uniform.
The legislature can establish one kin
for N county and a different one for
another. This. the legislature has done
in several instances, in his county for
one, when 1t departed from the gen.
eral system, and by an enactment in
1899 appointed two additional county
commissioners.
We insist that as far as New Han
over is concerned the present law be
amended n the people of this county
be given the right to choose their own
commissioners and justices as we'll as
their other county officers. This re-
quires no amendment to the constitu-

gave President Roosevelt in reporting
u~nfavorably on the nomination of

the latter as a severe but wholesome
