County Clerk Says, Delegated or
Personal representation,
Which is Your Choice2"

The Day Spring says, with reference
to my primary argument, that 1t is falla-
cious and deals only with surface con-
clusious that delegates to a county con-
vention are chosen by the party electo-
rate; that they represent not only their
own sentiments, but the sentiments OF
the townships, wards or city sending
them.
To the first proposition, regarding del
egates to county conventions expressing
their individual sentiments, l would
say sometimes, yes" Delegates to a
normal or unfixed county convention
usually have a chance to express their
sentiments.
To the second proposition, that OF del
egates expressing the sentiments of their
township and ward: Sometime. "No."
Delegates to a fixed or pre-arranged
county convention might as we'll have
saved their days time and car fare. Many
delegates have discovered this last pro.
position before the convention had been
in session more than half an hour.
In this connection desire to indulge
in 90 personalities, neither do | desire
to advocate personal criticism.
Fixed caucuses aud county conven-
tons are the outgrowth of sharp or
professional politics and this is the
foundation for party dissenslou and par
ty descriptions. But it is not necessary
to dwell on this point, for all the town.
ships and wards have had their eXpe-
riences and it is best to let those matters
become ancient history.
1t may be possible for the editor to
make himself believe that the mind has
all Influence over matter; that hunger
may be dispeled by q proper conce
ton and direction of the mind; it may
be an easy matter to tell absent voters
that they are represented, but it is a
hard matter to make them believe it;
aud the fellow who gets "chucked' for
coveted seat on county convention, or
the farmer who is holding the pillow
handles on convention day, it would be
hard to convince him that be was pres
ent when he was absent.
By going little below the surface we
uJu Tue arg VI Ahp NtiD
much simpilied. Primaries refer only
to nominations. Representation of the
voter in nominations may be classified
under two headings: First, Delegated
representation; second, personal repre-
sentation. Under the convention plan
5297, republican voters may be repre-
sented by the decision of % delegates,
H. dicatng, as | have heretofore stated,
that two per cent of the party eecto-
rate, in the capacity of delegates, make
all nominations. This is delegated or
transferred representation Under the
primary plan the party electorate may
express their direct opinion and individ
ual preference by 100 per cent of the re
publican vote. This is personal or pri-
mary representation.
Thus we find only two proposition
for the voter to determine, whether he
prefers delegated representation or per-
sonal representation. The former is the
convention plan, the latter the primary
plan. VIM. c. MosTER.

Another Suggestion for Naming
the New Lake.
Paw Paw, MICH March {

Paw Paw, MICH March 3, 1908.
EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNER:
Dear Sir: Please allow me space in
your valuable paper to make a suggest
ion in regard to naming the new lake,
which has been go long in question.
Why would it not be all right TO gi it
a patriotic name? think our own hon.
orcd heroes and statesmen are as much
to be thought Of for the valuable service
they have rendered us as the red men
are. propose calling it Mckinley Lake.
Certainly, il the lake in question proves
as much benefit to Paw Paw as did Nc
Kinley to his country, it will be we'll
named.
| would remark that, to my judgment,
the most appropriate rame that has so
far been given is the one given in the
last issue of The True Northerner by
Mr. Andrew Saoip, though | think il
the word hope was placed before lake
it would be easier to speak, and give a
more pleasant sound to the eara The
next to Mr.. Sabin's name | like Willow
Lake; then would propose the name of
"Made" Lake, it being the workman
ship of man, and another pretty name
would be Dale Lake.
With the fondest hope that the lake
will be an entire success,
am, very respectfully,
ALLIE j. BUCKLEY.
