CONVENTIONS
BEFORE
PRIMARY
Washington County Editor
Has an Idea on the
Subject


i Times)
Not a little discussion is being in
dulged in by politicians and newspa
pers around the state in regard to ths
best method for making selections Of
party candidates for primary elections
next spring. The new primary cleo.
tion law will then be in force and used
for the first time, and 1t looks now as
IL It would make a mix-up in which bad
men were more likely to be nominated
for office than good men. Various sug-
gestions have been made for ~remedying
the evils likely TO arise, but so far
none has been offered that meets with
general acceptance.
Senator Fulton has suggested conven-
tions just as in former years, and then
that the selections made by these con.
ventions shall DO voted for at the pri.
maries as the party candidates. This
has aroused a storm Of protest, but no.
body has offered anything that seems
any more satisfactory.
The Times believes that a modified
form Of the senator's suggestion can
b0 adopted that would be effective and
would not be open to serious objection,
and IL submits IL as follows:
+. Let party eancuses be held in the
precincts just as they have been in the
past and delegates selected to 60 to
the county conventions. Let the coun
~ conventions meet and select dele
gates to state conventions; also let
them vote as to preference for candi-
dates for the various county Offices, but
with the understanding that IL is mere
ly to show the preference Of the dele
gates and is not 20 be a nomination.
In the discussions in caucuses and con
ventions the merits Of candidates will
bo disclosed, and one or two Of the
stronger will begin to stand out so that
they can be presented to the primaries
while the weaker will be dropped with
out having their names brought before
the primaries. This would apply to
county officers.
For state officers the same general
plan would apply. The county onven
lions could express their preferences
and then the delegates in state con
vontions could report these preferences.
Those receiving highest votes In the
state convention would not be the nom
inees, but, for instance, IL 40 per cent
Of the delegates should express their
preference for A for governor and 80
per sent for b, while G, d aud f each
had 10 per cent, then it is very likely
that @, ID and f would be dropped
without going TO the primaries and A
and h would be presented there and
the party would make the choice be
tween them. In that way weak eandi'
dates could be eliminated and only
strong men would be presented at the
primaries. II would also be the duty
Of county and state conventions to
adopt platforms, appoint central com.
mittees and arrange the machinery for
conducting the campaign after nomina
lions are made at the primaries. This
woold keep up the party organization
, precinct, county, state aud national.
Tho Times believes that this plaI
will come nearer furnishing a solution
Of the many vexing problems that aris'
under the new law than any other ye
proposed.
