pose he advocated two-tenths mill

for the calling OF a special primary

change in the manner of choosing

stands, delegates to state platform
convention are chosen at a primary in
April, and that convention chooses
the electors Under the proposed
new law, the delegates will be chosen
as now provided. but the convention
following would only nominate those
who are to be voted on as electors.
Then TIE ballot will contain the
names of the various candidates for
president and vice-president. al the
head of the columns in which the
names Of the electoral nominees are
printed. Thus the voters can be alb
solutely sure that the electors for
whom they propose to vote are
pledged TO vote for certain presiden-
tial candidates.
