Admitting there is argument to be

is also argument against the idea, and
in our opinion the latter argument is
by far the stronger. In theory and
an fact. the delegates 60 to the con-

them do. That being so, why should
not they be instructed by the people

II the delegates from the districts,

there are individual instances where
the views Of a delegate may be so
well understood, or the character and
standing Of the man such that instruc-
tons are not necessary; but even
then no harm can be done by formal
ly telling the agents of the people
what the people want. The merest
glance will show that the demand for
uninstructed delegates comes invari-

nized as politicians who are ''in the
