SOLICITORS about the welfare Of the RI
publican party q Bernaiiilo count
and IN re solicitation Rays.
SO this question presents itself. ]
Tho Journal mean whit Il says. let
insist on the primary election ~ IN
delegates 70 the county convention
Nov. we viii see how influential III
Journal Is. and for how much
counts
our contemporary viii please bca
III mind that one % the marked az
ferenccs between the republican part,
and the democratic party as organ
lzatisns II that the affairs Of the re
publican parfy are directed and man
aged by The individual members. an,
that The affairs of the democratic
party are directed and managed by I
few bosses. There isn't a republican
in B%ernaliilo county who does no
display a great deal Of happiness owe
the harmonious feeling that exist
among all republicans. Such differ
ennes ne the party may have had arr
IN the past aud are forgotten. an,
today Il presents a solid and united
front 90 thu enemy. And. likewise
there II moi a republican IN Berna.
lilo county who has the least fear
that the affairs Of the party. from the
precinct meetings up, will be con.
Quoted IN any other than In the ~fairest
and most open manner ana that the
result an the way through viii be a
TRUE reflection Of the desires 81 the
majority Of the party. This IL O
pleasing state among republicans and
IA, indeed. good cause for the happy
feeling that pervades them.
Our contemporary assumes to chai-
lenge as 20 advocate a voting primary
for the selection of precinct delegates
% the county convention The writer
II the editorial Ia probably unfamiiiai
with repubiicnnism, and II certainly
unfamiliar with the republicans ~
Iiefnaiiiio county We do not sap-
pose tina Il has occurred 20 any re.
publican Ia the county that the pre-
cinct primaries would be conducted in
any other WAY We want TO say now
10 an whom Il may concern, that the
precinct primaries FOR the selection Of
delegates 10 the county convention win
be voting primaries, conducted in nm
absolutely fair aud impartial man
ner, 50 as r. give every republican n
fun ana unhampered opportunity 20
express his preference In the most de-
liberate manner. The primaries In
precincts IL and &c win be conducted
BY their respective precinct commit
tees. 81 which y. NJ Ferguson ~ chair,
man o. precinct ~ ana u. II Boat
right ~ chairman Of precinct 90 and
this viii be the case in All other pre-
plncts. There viii not be a list of
names made up ana printed lea the
form OF a ticket for the republicans
the democrats. even should they have
q voting primary, but IL viii be 90 ar
ranged that any one desiring TO be q
candidate for the county convention
may have his name placed on the
ticket Tho names OF an candidates
VIII he en the ticket In alphabetical
order and each republican voter viii
vote for the candidates that hc may
favor by puttlng a cross opposite their
names Tho tickets viii be- in the
hands Of the precinct choirmen ANA
viii be handed Ca the voter as he
comes up and the voter will make the
crosses opposite the names of those
for whom he desires 10 vote and the
ticket win pc deposited ia the ballot
box.
This IL distinctly "a republican plan.
The democratic bosses and %dictators
VIII De- unable to comprehend o.. Yet
this is exactly what republicans cx-
pcet, and the %insinuation that they
would not get i. they regard as equal
to an Insult And republicans viii
attend these primaries in great num-
bers and Win enter into a friendly
contest for election OF delegates 60 the
county convention. which b. wen. and
b. as il should be.
II b. this custom AMONG republicans
that holds the party 30 close in the
confidence 10 the great mass Ut the
people and makes Il i%nvinciblc in "a
political contest
The republicans Of Bernalilio county
adhere 10 she principle announced hy
Theodore Roosevelt, and which we
have before quoted as follows.
The right 81 popular self-goyern-
ment Involves the right - voter not
merely to hoose between candidates
led before them. but also the right 20
determine who those candidates shall
be-.
Likewise. Sc is the uniform feeling
among ala republicans. without any
exception, that republicans must and
viii nominate az their candidates for
delegates 90 the constitutional COM
.seniion good and true men ony-the
very best Of men. The republicans of
nernaiilo county are equal 10 the oc-
h a now presents itself and
viii depou themselves in a manner
that viii be most ~creditable.
