the state convention. He sug-
gests that as a rule the delegates
that attend the state convention
attend the congressional conven-
tion and that it would be saw
ing of time and expense to make
one trip serve for both. AS a
matter Of fact Custer county usu-
ally sends a different set OF dele
gates to each of the conventions.
But should there be enough can
didates this year to require a
different set for each of the con-
ventions, it is doubtless true that
they could go to Lincoln as
cheap as to any point in the
district, the convention would be
likely to be located, unless it was
held in Broken Bow. In all
probability there will be no con-
test. 1t is generally conceded
that Congressman Kinkaid will
be renominated by reclamation
and the the convention may be
held where it is most convenient
without prejudicing anyone's
interest. But we would not
favor holding the convention out
of the district, if by so doing it
is liable to establish a precedent
for conventions in the future.
The district is entitled to what.
ever enthusiasm or impetus the
assembling of a convention may
give, and as a rule should not be
held outside of the district.
