HOW TO
NOMINATE
CANDIDATES

Politicians are in a quandary to
Know what method to adopt in elect
ing delegates to the national conven.
tion, which will nominate candidates
for President and vice-president of the
United States in 1908. Among the i'm.
portant changes wrought by the direct
primary nominating elections law was
that of abolishing the old convention
system by which delegates to the ma
tional party conventions were formerly
chosen.
Grave doubts have also been ex-
pressed by lawyers as to whether there
is sufficient provision in the direct pri.
mary law for selecting presidential
electors, and this. question may yet
have to be taken into the courts for so.
luton. The law makes no direct allu.
sion to the method to be employed in
nominating presidential electors, but it
is held by some lawyers, and among
them one who took part in framing
the law, that the phraseology to be
found in section 2 of the act providing
that primary elections shall be held to
nominate a "senator in congress and
all other elective state, district, coun-
ty, precinct, city ward and all other
officers and delegates to any constitu.
tional conventions that may hereafter
be called" makes a sufficient provision
in the words call other elective off.
cers.' But whether it does or not is
not clear to all.
AS to the method of choosing dele.
gates to the national convention, how
ever, there is no provision. The law
deals directly with the nomination Of
candidates for federal, state, district,
county and municipal officers, and
leaves the question of national conven
tions and delegates thereto entirely
alone.
Thus far the only remedy suggested
is that the parties by their own initia
tive and expense will have to agree up
on some sort of system whereby county
conventions may be held, delegates
elected to state convention and the
national delegates selected by the state
convention. The only kind of county
convention practicable under this ar
rangement would be mass conventions
for to hold delegated county conven
tions would necessitate elections, unless
the various precincts in the counties
were to hold mass convention of their
own, and at these elect delegates to q
county convention, which, in turn
would send delegates to the state con.
vention, where the national delegates
would be elected.
That some method Of this kind will
have to be adopted is practically GER
tain, for it would be out of the ques.
tion, lawyers think, to undertake to
burden the primary ballots with candi-
dates for delegates, and, in the absence
of any provision for such proceedings
1t is practically certain that the county
clerks of the state would refuse to put
the names of the candidates on the bal
lot,
