There is movement in favor Of hold
ing nominating conventions, in connect
ion with aud subject to the decisions of
the primary elec.ton. There ls no good
reason why such conventions should not
be held in law. and there are very many
sgcod reasons why they should be held
aor nominating purposes. An authoriz-
led delegate convention would be far
more satisfactory than the present meth
cd OF a lot of interested polite ans get
ting together on their own motion and
putting UP candidates for the people to
vote for. The great lack of the primary
system is in system by which candi-
dates can be nominated before the prim-
ary election The theory of khe voters
themselves doingsthe nominating at the
primary is the ssheerest nonsAnse when
