THE DEMOCRATIC FUNERAL

The democrats In this coanty are
proceeding illegally 10 the matter OF
appointing delegates to their state con-
venti0n 10 nominate state representa-
tives to their national convention
which dominates their presidential
candidate. The county central CON-
mittee, we understand, has decided TO
ignore the primary law and appoint
the delegates to their slate convention.
They have filed no nominations for
the primaries of March 10 and the
democratic county central committee
has already appointed their delegates
to ronssseet this county. The laws OF
1907, Chapter l39, S 81, Art, 3, reAds-as
follows: Whenever tw0-thirds OF the
members of the county central com
mittees of the severaJ political parties
of any county at reg ularly called
meeting decide that there is not a
sufficient contest over the selection or
delegates from such county to the
tate conventions called TO elect del
egates to national conventions to
Justify the expense of holding county
convention, such county central com
mittees shall have the power to name
the delep ates from said county. :"
Notice closely the condition on which
the county central committees have the
power to select delegates. H. Is doubt
| ful whether two-thirds of the demo-
cratic county centra! committee even
we're assembled and decided In favor OF
suspending the primary. But even II
this were the case, the primary could
not legally be suspended except Ia
harmony with similar action by the
republicans. The democrats evidently
intend to snap their fingers in the face
o. the law and go ahead With their con
vention, legal or illegal as the case
may be. 1t is their own funeral and
uoder the circumstances We know OF nc
way of preYenting them from supply
