stantial party interest.
As early as 1892, the Fourth
congressional district, then repre-
sented by ME, changed, at my in
stance, from the convention
system OF making nominations to
the primary election method, and
the latter has been in vogue ever
since. So, too, in the Fifth. Sixth
and Seventh districts, the party
nominations for congress are made
by the people themselves in direct
primary election.
lie is no new thing. therefore.
for me to express a preference
for that method of nomination
which enables the candidates to
go to the people themselves-the
source of all political power-and
ask consideration for his claims
to party recognition at their
hands.
So far. then, as my opinions
and wishes are entitled to be con-
sidered. | hope the strife commit
tee will order the nomination of Il
candidate of the party for COVER
nor submitted directly to the
people through a popular vote by
means of a democratic white pri-
mary election, safe-guarded to
ensure free and impartial ex-
preston of the popular wish. /
favor this plan of nomination.
If this were done. it would en-
courage to thorough canvass
of the state by the candidates
and by all means such
canvass should be made.
