BINDING A LEGISLATOR.

Explaining why legislator is bound
to vote for the party candidate for
senator and why the individual voter
need not be bm,od, the Grand Forks
Herald says
The menber of the leRissture is
|.eeting for otheys and under instructions
from them. The individual rvoter is
setting for hinasdaf and under instruc-
tinns from nobody. The legislator is an
agent white the private vutar Is the
principal. = II i The men elected

agency and aseibcund by the instruc.

For whom is the legislator an agent?
