VOTING METHOD

NO DECISION AS TO HOW OLD
MANCHESTER WILL CAST
BALLOT.

The muchiy mooted question as to
how old Manchester Will vote In the
Legislative primary this fall is far from
being settled. Lawyers do not agree
as To the standing of the political
situation and there is possibility
that the matter may be taken to the
courts. AS a matter OF fact. the at
torney-generafs decision In the case
Will be final, SO far as the election Ia
concerned, but the result of the cleo
ton may have TO be decided by the
Legislature.
Squire l.. w. Cheathan, former State
Senator Philip Cogbiil and Willis c.
Pulliam were recently appointed q
committee TO report on the situation.
After looking into the legal status
of the case, the committee agrees
with Il statement made by Speaker
Byrd that the old town would vote
in the same old way

city Democratic committee, took a

least the usual method, Is by call Of
the State committee.
My purpose in writing this letter Is
to suggest to The Republicans OF the
State who may do mt the honor to.
read what write, n programme.
The Steps Necessary.
The first step in this programme Is
a meeting OF the State committee.
This could be made q conference also
by inviting all Republicans who care
to attend to be present and assist with
their advice and counsel.
The second step is the issuance of a
call by the State committee for a
State convention, to be composed of
delgates elected by Republican voters
In their several Observation-Disclosures
by counties. and not even by magiste-
rial district, but as -far as practicable
by precincts. Let the basis Of repre-
sentation be SO adjusted that every
election percinct which cast as many
as 100 to 200 votes for President in
1908 shall have n delegate: that
when necessary to get a proper con.
s%ituency. two or more adjoining cleo
ton precincts be combined for the
election Of one delegate: but that
every magisterial district shall have at
least one delegate. and when the Re
publican vote In any maglsterial dis.
trict is so small hat 1t Is entitled.
on the basis OF representation, TO but
one delegate, then, OF course; all the
members OF the party would particl-
pate In that election at the time and
/ place fixed. As far as possible, let
no meeting. whether Of a precinct or
OF two or more precincts, or OF an en-
tire maglsterial district, elect more
than n delegate; and provide that
all delegates shall be elected by ballot
and by a majority vote, not by a mere
plurality. Let there be prepared for
the government and instruction of the
proceedings OF these meetings a full,
complete and comprehensive set Of
rules and regulations. In the interest
of good order, fairness and a square
deal. To divide the State up into
precincts or, districts for the election
of these delegates and to consider ana
provide for other details would require
some work. This could be committed
TO. a subcommittee, which. acting in
conjunction with the several county
committees. could prepare the plan
and report It back toSthe State com:
mittee for consideration, approval and
adoption. And then the plan should
have the utmost publicity, SO that
every Republican voter would have
knowledge OF his privileges, how TO
exercise them and therefore be with.

The people OF Marion county should
feel happy over the verdict OF mot
guilty" returned by the Jury that
Straversed the case OF the State VS..
Lloyd Brock. Here was a young man
charged with one Of the most helnous
crimes known In the catalogue OF
c%rimlnology. Upon his name rested
the .infamy through his indictment Of
having Wronged a little girl from the
time that she was six years old until
she was Of the age of nine years. The
penalty imposed by the law for this
crime is death.
1t was hard for the people to be.
4lieve that a nan could be found In
Marion county SO deep In the dregs Of
human ~depravity as to be guilty Of
the offense recorded in the present.
ment made by the grand jury. This
1h%esitancy to believe that the crime
had been committed was responsible
for the absence of public sentiment
against the defendant. 1t was their
faith in the honest manhood and the
generous chivalry Of the citizens of
THE county that caused the auditors
that sat in the court room TO let their
sympathy go out to the defendant.
The jury composed Of twelve strong
men was not moved by sympathy for
the defendant nor did It act upon the
%persuative u~tterances OF counsel. It
was confronted by the facts that were
unfolded as the case progressed and
only by these facts was 1t influenced.
That its finding for the defendant
and granting him his freedom gives
our people a stronger faith In the hon.
aest manhood OF our citizens and OK.
punges the infamy that rested upon
1.-THE name of the defendant.

- 49, Wv W. d.s 49,
March 81, 1911.
To the Editor OF the 1ntelligencer:
Sir: have read with interest the
editorial and other discussion in your
paper respecting the welfare OF the
Republican party OF this State. j
think there is a very general agree
ment with you, that the State com.
mlttee ought to be r%eorganized, and
that there shall be change In the man.
ner Of making nominations Of candI-
dates for public Office. 1t lis not my
purpose to reflect on; the State com.
mlttee nor on any member thereof In
saying that 1t ia true that the COM
fltttee has lost the confidence Of the
party to a considerable degree. RICH,
or wrong, this Is a fact, and we must
face the facts. This reason, and the
further fact that, under the decisions
OF the Supreme Court in the Mason
county and the Wetzel county cases,
the State committee has been declared
party. make 1t imperative that the
party should have confidence in the
ability and integrity of the State COM
mittee and in the Individual mem
bers thereof.
Committee Party's Servants.
But another phase OF the matter
must be considered. That is. that
there is perhaps no way to force the
present members OF the committee out
OF office before their terms expire.
Each mmber was elected Except the
two members at large) at the State
convention by the delegates repre-.
senting the counties OF his senatorial
district; and to the members OF the
Party OF his senatorial district each
member owes primary allegiance. and
secondary allegiance TO the entire
party OF the State. But political com.
mittces are chosen TO serve the party,
TO promote its welfare. They are Its
servants, not its master. Hence,
every member OF every political com.
mittee is h%onorably bound to do what
he can to subservc the best interests
OF his party. II therefore the best In.
terests OF the party demands tho re.
signation of the members OF the State
committee, the members ought to re.
sign, But to whom? Suppose. they
would all place their designations In
the hands Of the chair. there is no
body to act on such designations and
no body to elect their SUCCESSORS.

he, ito make this an exposition on

as to car space. Will cars be arrang

manufacturers Of city be grouped in

sary to incorporate and establish rules
so that every man interested will be

Il would not favor whirlwind ex-

be shorter than six months. The
shortest stop should not be less than
