Would Benefit Pearre.

The disagreement in the district is due
to the belief that the opponents of Col.
Pearre would have better chance to
defeat his nomination by the convention
system than by direct vote, and F'rede-
rick and Washington arc therefore
opposed to the change.
Every effort will be made to diSsuade
the prOtestants from carrying out their
threat to hold unofficial primaries, as
such course must undoubtedly lead to
complications which might endanger the
election of Il republican congressman.
Prior TO converting the leaders con-
ferrcd over the situation and decided
upon the course to be pursued. There
were present Chairman Hanna, Collector
GOldsborough, Senator Mccullough of
Cecil. Messrs. Parran, GLADDEN., Blair and
others. The resolutions prepared and
subsequently submitted We're framed on
lines similar to those adopted by the
democratic committee and in full accord
with the attorney generals decision.

Chairman Hanna's Address.

Nearly all of the counties were repre-
sented when Chairman Hanna called the
committee to order and stated the object
of the meeting. He said that when they
assembled in April it was believed that
the new primary law did not apply to
congressional nominations. Since then
the attorney general, who, under the la
is the adviser and Instructor of the cleo
ton officials, has rendered an opinion thai
candidates for Congress must be nomi-
mated by direct vote. AS this decision
was not rendered until it was too late to
recall the convention of the fifth district
Mr.. ParranS nomination must be ac-
cepted by the party.
Mr.. Hanna was frequently applauded
and when he concluded r. e.. X Jung
of Frederick, rising to point of order,
claimed the proceedings to be irregular,
inaSmuch as the party constitution re-
quired ten days notice of IL meeting. and
also that the call be advertised IN the
newspapers.
The chairman decided the point not
we'll taken, the last meeting having been
adjourned subject to the call of the chair
Mr.. Jung did not press his point, and
ex-senator Mccullough then presented
the following resolutions:
Whereas, the attorney general of Mary
| land, who, under the law, is charged
with the duty of advising the election
officials concerning their duties, has rem
| dered an opinion that the new primary
election law includes within its scope the
nomination OF congressional candidates.

'EAPPORTIONMENT
AND REDISTRICTINC
ARE STATE ISSUES
Constitute Questions Para
mount In Work of South
Dakota Legislature.

Pierre, s. D., Dec. 26.--The 18th legis-
lature OF South Dakota, which VIII
convene at noon on January 3, 19ll.
will BE very strongly republican. or
course, the senate VIII be presided over
by the lieutenant governor. Lieutenant
Governor Byrne has had long legislat-
i've service. having been member OF
the first state Legislature and the last
two senates.
The reapportionment of representa-
tives and senator's, following the new
census, is likely to cause the most
interesting fight of the session. The
present house includes 104 members
and the senate As. The constitutional
limit for the two houses is 1875 and As
respectively. The senate has reached
it's limit. having As members, and the
redistribution will cut off some or the
eastern counties and transfer the rep
resentation to some Of the new counties
west OF The Missouri. Such reappor-
tionment would demand that the coun-
ties east of the river give UP about 1--WE
senators to those of the other side. The
hall OF Representatives can only COM
fortably seat 90 members and on such
a basis the west side will get %. 1t is
likely that no county will give up any
part Of it's representation without a
fight
The 1910 census will also give to
the state new congressman. This
will cause districting of the state.
Governor Vessey and Congressman
Martin are favorable TO a proposition
to include the region west OF the Mis-
souri, in one district, and on the east
side, to extend the \ line between
Brook ngs and Moody counties to the
river, and create n new district to the
north and the south of this line.
