Asks an Expression

II Is said that Congressman Plum
ley would welcome an expression OF
opinion by the delegates to the Sec
ond congressional district convention
as to Cannonism and the attitude
which our member OF Congress ought
to take In regard TO the same. We
doubt II an expression of opinion on
the part Of the delegates who were
elected without an agitation OF the
matter, will really be of value as ex-
pressiye OF the views Of the people of
the district as a whole There is no
question but that the people OF the
second congressional district are op-
posed to Cannonlsm and all that the
term implies and to the Payne-Aldrich
tarin measure. But the delegates
were not elected with a view OF ex-
pressing the views OF the people as TO-
the situation. There appears to be
no contest In sight. and by reason
thereof the election OF delegates to
the convention takes that matter OF
fact aspect, always characteristic OF
nomination under q system where
the people as a whole have no voice
