Ridicule Judicial Convention.

The farcical republican judicial coz
vention at Macomb this week has be-
come the subject of gibes all over the
state, and while the result is taken
generally as joke there is something
under the surface that lends the APP
pearance of a deep laid plot on the
part of that astute politician of poll
| ticians. Senator Orville F. Berry of
Hancock county. 1t will be distinctly
recalled that Berry sprang the nomina-
| ton of Mack, ostensibly as a joke, and
| by making one representation 10 one
county delegation, another represenra-
| lion 10 another and still third rep
lIesentation to third delegation, he
managed to get his dark horse nomi-
mated before anyone else realized what
had happened. Then he passed the
whole proceeding off as a joke
| The theory of the existence of a
well laid plot, however. is developed
in proceeding that the same Senator
Berry engineered through the conven
ton, apparently with the most limo
cent of motives, before any ballotina
was done 1t took the form of reso
luton. which the convention, without
any suspicion, passed at the very out
set and which provided that no county
be. allowed to change its vote, eth q
during or after roll-call on any bal
lot That Senator Berry had a mo
tive in getting this resolution through
an act almost unheard of in politica
conventions, is shown by his final &C
in securing the nomination for Macl
by what virtually amounts to fals'
pretenses.
Just as a little indication of the wa,
the press of the state is viewing tn

Now comes the selection of re-

On the 200th ballot the convention

Mack He had not been mentioned
/, No delegates had been instructed for
him and no votes cast for him. Finally
Colonel Chiperfeld and the Hon. o.
vile E. Berry, in a spirit of rivalry Or,
perhaps, of vindictiveness, inflicted an
unknown candidate upon the voters.
| There should have been no issue be-
fore the convention except to select a
man competent to pass on great legal
questions. That body served no other
/ purpose than to test the comparative
strength of two statesmen. one of
whom was recently retired from the
state senate for his distinguished
deposition to the lawful wishes of the
ipeople.
The people have now an opportunity
to compare the direct primary and tho
convention method of nominating
judges. Just before the direct primary
s, law was declared invalid there was a
primary held under it in the Fifth sn-
lpreme court district. The republican
voters selected their candidate-Judge
