Timothy Nicholson Makes Two
Suggestions How Nominal
tions for Office Should Be
Made by Party.
CONVENTION METHOD
LITTLE Improvement
But After Time Gives an o.
ening to the ''Boss'-vot-
ers Should Enter Candi-
dates in the Race.

Need for reform in the present poll.
cy of the republican party in the selec-
tion of its nominees for county and city
offices is seen by the Hon. Timothy
Nicholson. who suggests two alterna.
tives TO take the place of the present
primary system.
The reform most favored by Mr..
Nicholson is the adoption Of the old
convention method of selection OF nom.
inees. He. however. does not believe
even this method would prove benefit
cial. only for short time. The other
reform suggested is that the voters
should put the candidate i'm the field
instead of the candidate entering unso-
licited.
A Petition System.
In the latter reform. he suggests, he
believes. the voters should secure the
signatures Of a large number of rep
resentative voters in the county or
city. according to the office which they
are petitioning for. to secure the de-
sired candidate.
After a certain number Of names
were secured the man would be can
didate. These petitions should bs
passed upon by a central committee.
He believes that the value OF such
methods would be to free the field of
a large number of applicants. thus
eliminating the nuisance of voters be.
ing continuously disturbed by candi.
dates soliciting their support.
The views of Mr. Nicholson on the
subject met with favor from some.
while others hold that the suggestions
are not practicable or beneficial. Most
voters asked to state their views favor
the present system.
Convention Method.
In regard to the convention method
Mr.. Nicholson says that for few years
such nominations would be fair and
impartial. He fears that this system
would eventually become corrupted,
because "bossism'' would make it's ad-
vent and the conventions would be
cut and dried affairs.
He has attended several such pri-
mary conventions and from his Obser-
vations he says, they were ideal. In
some. delegates held the voting powers
Of selection Of party nominees. In
others. the conventions was more OF
the nature of a mass meeting OF the
voters. Each one present was enti-
tied to ballot The nominations
were over in a short time. and appar-
emily, all were satisfied with the ~
suits. One convention particularly re-
ferred to by Mr.. Nicholson. was held
by Washington township voters. sew
eral years ago.
The effect Of either of the reforms
proposed. Mr.. Nicholson believes.
would be a saving to the candidates
and a more fair election for the voters.
Under the present system, often tho
majority of the people do not rule.
when there are q large number OF can
didates for the same office. Mr.. Mich
olson says. He cited one or two in
stances in which the combined votes
of the defeated candidates at the pri-
mary election was double that re-
ceived by the nominee.

HE STILL CONTINUES HIS POLICY

AND KEEPING HIS MOUTH
TIGHTLY SEALED.

Washington, Jan. San effort to
set Speaker Cannon back on his feet
will be the first move in the direction
of repairing the break in the republi-
can ranks caused by the Ballinger-
Pinchot explosion. At meeting Of
the public lands committee of the SEN
ate this afternoon, substitute for the
Jones-Ballinger investigation resolu-
tion was adopted, providing for the ap-
pointment of the senate members Of
the investigating committees by the
vice president and for appointment of
the house members by the Speaker.
This resolution Will be put through
the senate on Monday il possible,
whereupon the house will be called up
on to agree to the senate resolution,
instead Of the one passed by the house
yesterday, and there will be one more
chance for Cannon to whip into line
sufficient number of members to
win back for him the power to name
the house men,.
Issue Nationwide.
This is the issue that takes prece.
dence over all others just now and an
extraordinary effort will be made to
bring Cannon through winner.
And right here, there is thrust for
ward one element of the situation
which illustrates the chaotic condi-
tions that exist as a result of the Bal
linger-Pinchot affair. It is an open
secret that President Taft is immense
ly pleased at the reverse which Speak
er Cannon received yesterday, and for
the sake of the effect that it will have
upon the country, is willing that the
house itself, instead Of Speaker Can
non, shall elect its representatives on
the committee that will investigate
Ballinger.
TAFT Relies on Rebels.
This came about that the president
is tactfully, II not openly relying upon
the insurgents, whom he has sought to
force into line by welding the patron
age club, to strengthen by continued
insurgency the position of the admin
istration before the people, where all
the support possible for the admins
tration is now imperatively necessary.
II the Insurgent ranks hold fast the
verdict Of yesterday against Cannon
can be sustained.
While this issue Of Cannon takes
precedence for the moment over the
general Ballinger-Pinchot situation,
the latter remains the dominant polit-
ical sensation Of the hour.

ranks of the Republican party no one
attempts to deny.

Think Balloon Of Lost Explorer is Found


Solomon Auguste Andree, the Swed-
ish aeronaut and explorer, who left
Spitzbergen, Denmark, on July IL,
1897, to sail over the North Pole. A
few days ago news came from Prince
Albert, Saskatchewan, that Eskimo In
dams had found balloon 900 miles to
the north. A missionary brought in
word, and he was impressed with the
idea from the way the Indians talked
of "big white house falling" and
their unwillingness to go into details,
that not only had the Andree balloon
fallen, but that the natives had killed
the explorer because of anger, over,
what they considered, some offense.
The last heard from Andree was two
days after he left, by carrier pigeon.
He was then S2.2 degrees and making
good progress northward.

That evening when Hammond was sitting on a
