PLENTY OF TIME.

| 1H0 1otcKram TeCeutiy uibcuseoo the
matter of election Of delegates to the
national convention, with regard to the
matter of time for proper canvassing OF
returns between the primary on June
9th and the Republican National Con-
vention on June 18th. The statement
made was from memory, re inforced by
hasty examination of some Of the pro-
visions of the primary law. But atten-
ton has since been called, by an attor-
ney who has given the matter more
careful consideration, to two erroneous
suppositions in the Telegram editorial.
In the article in question, it was taken
for granted that primary returns on
delegates to the national convention
would be made. the same as other re
turns. That is, by the precinct election
judges to the county auditors; and by
the auditors after being canvsssed by
the county boards, to the state capital
for canvass by the state board. But it
appears that there was an amendment
to the primary law in 1909, which pro-
| yides:
Section Sc: "Party delegates to na-
tional political party conventions shall
be chosen by each political party at the
June primary qusdrenially. Provided,
however, that in order to save time in
issuing credentials to such delegates, the
county canvassing boards Immediately
upon canvassing the votes for delegates
to the national convention, shall forward
to the proper party chairman of the
state central committee, an abstract
showing the vote cast for the candidates
for the delegation in the several coun-
ties of the state, and such state chairman
and the secretary Of the state committee
shall have the power, aud it shall be
their duty to canvass the same and to
issue credentials to the delegates who
have received the highest number Of
votes in the state"
Precinct returns are supposed to be
made Immediately after the votes are
counted, and the county canvassing
board TO meet four days thereafter. So
this would give ten days between the
date the county boards meet to canvass
the returns and the date of tho national
convention. All returns should be in
the hands of. the state chairman and
given out for publication Ave or six days
before June 18th, giving those elected
delegates time to get to Chicago several
days before the convention assemblies.
Another erroneous supposition in the
Telegram's discussion was that the prim-
ary law makes no provision for holding
another primary earlier should 1t be nee
essary to do this to elect delegates to the
national convention. In the 1909 amend.
ments it is provided:
"When the national convention of a
party has been called at date too early
to allow the delegates to be elected at
the June primary, a primary for the
election of delegates shall be held on the
first Tuesday in April"
From the foregoing It appears that the
June 4th primary will give sufficient
time for making of the returns. AS the
national committee waived for this state
its rule requiring delegates to be elected
at least thirty days previous to the na-
tional convention, there will be no need
of q special primary.-Deadwood Tele-
gram.

Des Moines.-The Moore-Holden
controversy over the conduct of Pro-
lessor Holden's department may
come before the state board of edu-
cation for action when that body
meets in Cedar Rapids, May 26 and
~.
It was stated in the office of the
finance committee of the board that
Professor Holden has refused to abide
by the rules which Professor Curtiss
and Professor Kennedy and heads OF
other departments comply with. They
say that the finance committee can
not get him to adopt the financial
system which is successfully used in
the other departments at Ames.
1t is also claimed by members OF
the finance committee that on April
1st Professor Holden's department
was $1,1OO in the hole. AS result,
his department will get no money un-
til July list.
The situation is becoming acute.
Representative Moore is challeng-
ing Professor Holden to demand an
investigation. He claims that he can
prove every charge which he has
made.
On the other hand, it is charged
by Professor Holden's friends that
the entire controversy was started In
order to get Holden out of the way
for the benefit of the state education
nj board.
