REPRE- SENTATION in THE NEXT REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION
CONVENTION.

There is considerable discussion going
thru the republican state press in regard to
the basis of representation for the next republi
can convention. Some are strongly arguing
that the vote for Mr.. Dunn should be taken as
a basis and others sre Just as strongly insist
ing that the vote for President Roosevelt should
be taken. Neither of these methods would
be just, fair equitable. There at least
fifty thousand democrats who voted for Mr.
Roosevelt that probably would never vote for
|another republican as long as they live and they
are not entitled to representation in republican
convention. On the other hand there were
10000 republicans who voted for Mr.. Johnson for
governor who never voted for democratic can
ddate before and never will again and they are
as much entitled to representation in a conven-
ton as any other republicans There is only one
correct way to arrive at basis of representa-
ton for republican convention. There were
eleven candidates for office on the state ticket
Take the total vote cast for all these candidates
nd divide it by eleven and you will have the
correct basis for representation. This method
is followed by practically every state in the
union except Minnesota. Our delegation was
never at least not for the last ten years, based
on justice but was fixed to give some particular
candidate candidates advantage.
Let the State Central Committee adopt
the above method of securing basis for repre-
sentation. Cut out the five delegates at large
for each county and allow only one. Pass a
resolution that the federal office holders and
appointees cannot sit in convention as dele
gates and we will come pretty near having a
that represents the republican party
of Minnesota.-Sauk Centre Herald
Down in Blue Earth and adjoining count
les, there is sharp trio out after the farmers,
money They spot rich farmer and then try
the old trick of getting him to bet on what card
he will pull out of the deck of 50 pasteboards.
But like a Chokio merchant who visited
town near the international
they too wise. It is
alleged of the Chokio that he across
we're long lost friends and that they knew all
bout the land in the vicinity. Meanwhile they
uggested little game in which 'three kind
eats two pairs ETC. The Chokio man became
uy interested in the mathematical problems
he game afforded, but could see use in par
ing with good money. In this he like the
armers of Blue Earth county, except that the
armer didn't find it necessary to call the
larshall to get some of his money back. &
