permits every voter to exercise his
own individual choice in the recon-
mendation of a candidate for United

any preference for any candidate voted
for at the primary election, deeming
such expressions of preference by con-
ventions of this kind as reflection
upon the wisdom and integrity of the
voters Of the county
