Importance Of G. O. P. Contests.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 5-Practically
all of the members of the Republican
National committee arc in Chicago
in readiness to begin the hearing of
delegates contests tomorrow. The
function of the National Committee
is always important, because it de-
cides in advance who are to have
seats when the convention is called
to order. In other words, it makes
up the temporary roll. The work is
especially important this year, be-
cause of the unusually large number
of contests. With upwards of ESQ
contests to consider and act upon. it
is likely that the committee will find
it necessary to continue it's hearings
almost up to the day the convention
assemblies.
In hearing the contests, the Ma
tional Committee will sit as court.
Attorneys will represent the opposing
sides, and they will argue their case
and introduce as much testimony as
time will permit, both i'll the form of
affidavits and of oral witnesses. At
ter the testimony is all in the attor-
neys will sum up in closing argu-
ments, and then it will be left to the
committee, by majority vote, in exc
cutive session, to determine which
io fob h. Pol
decision there is no appeal, for the
committee must make up the tempo
rary roll call of the convention, and
there can be no regularly organized
convention until the committees roll
is submitted and adopted.
The National Committee is COM
posed of fifty-three members, one
from each of the forty-eight states,
and one each from the District of
Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii, the Phil
ippines and Porto Rico. Much spec
ulation has been INDUCED in concern
ing the personal preferences of the
committeeman on the question of the
presidential nomination. The ma
jority has been claimed for both Taft
and Roosevelt. On the other hand,
those who are best acquainted with
the high personnel of the committee
are of the opinion that each contest
| will be decided upon the evidence.
They believe that the cases will be
settled as they would be settled in a
court of equity and that the delegates
entitled to seats in the convention
will be seated. In general way
Senator Dixon and Representative
Mckinley, the rival campaign man
ayers, will look after the contests.
But those more directly in charge
will be ex-senator Charles Dick of
Ohio, who will look out for the in
terests of President Taft, and Ormsby
B. McHarg of New York, who will
serve in similar capacity for Col
onel Roosevelt.

SPECIAL SESSION
NOT HARMONIOUS
1899, when a direct primary law was
~ oRn6 uorr0rir,
CONTINUED from first page.)

1899, when direct primary law was
enacted for Hennepin county.
AT the following session-1901-
this law was amended in some par
ticulars, extended to the whole state
and included all positions except state
officers and certain minor officials.
Since that date, it has governed our
political action in making party nom
nations for Office.
"Tried by more than ten years of
actual experience in this state, the di-
rect primary law has so esta blished
itself in the judgment and convictions
of the people that no aspirant for
public favor would have the hardi-
hood to propose it's repeal. 1t simply
substitutes the direct action of the
people themselves for the system of
delegated authority exemplified in
conventions. It makes public officials
directly responsible to the people and
it makes the people directly respon-
sible for the selection of their repre-
sentatives. 1t eliminates the domi-
nation of special interests by plac-
ing the people-who are the source of
all political power-in direct control.
"The insistent demand of the peo-
pie for the right Of direct and un-
hindered participation in all matters
of government is dttested by their un-
swervlng support of the existing di-
rect primary law and by the passage
at your last session of 2 law for the
direct nomination and practically d.
rect election of United States sena-
tors. The recent action of the con-
gress of the United States in propos-
ing an amendment to the federal
constitution providing for the cleo
ton of United States senator's direct
ly by the people is further proof of
the settled purpose of the people to
exercise their political power directly
and not through representative bod
les.
"Under the constitution you are
the law-making power of this state,
and it is primarily your right and
duty to determine what the law shall
be land in reaching that determina-
ton it is for you to consider the var
ious details of the proposed legisla-
ton. Whether or not the direct pri-
mary law shall be non-partizan, what
provisions it shall contain as to Sec
ond choice, just how it shall be ap-
piled to the selection Of delegates to
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1912-06-05

national conventions and many other
questions OF detail which will arise
in the consideration of this measure,
are for you to primarily determine,
and it is not my purpose to suggest
any particular plan of direct primary
but confidently relying on your wis.,
dom and patriotism, earnestly rec
ommend the prompt passage of law
providing for the nomination of all
public officials by a direct vote of the
people.

Evil Of Worrying.

BY constant worry the power Of SELF

Eventually this affects the health, the

The unhappiness shows in the face.

Corrupt Practices Law.

Corrupt Practices Law.
"To pass direct primary law with
out enacting a stringent and effec-
tive corrupt practices act would be to
merely adopt the nomenclature of re-
form and reject the reform itself. The
present law on the subject-passed
over seventeen years ago-has, ac-
cording to common report and belief,
been more honored in the breach
than observance and should be sup
plemented by law that absolutely
eliminates the improper use of mon
ey in conducting campaigns for nomi-
nation and election.
Legislative Reapportionment.
"Section %, Article ". of the con-
stitution of the state provides: The
legislature shall provide by law for
an enumeration of the inhabitants of
this state in the year 1865 and every
tenth year thereafter At their first
session after each enumeration so
made and also at their first session af-
ter each enumeration made by the au-
scribe the bounds of congressional,
thority of the United States, the leg
islature shall have the power to pre-
senatorial and representative dis
tricts, and to apportion anew the SEN
ators and representatives among the
several districts, according to the pro-
visions of Section of this article
"Section 2, Article ". provides:
The number of members who COM
pose the senate and house of repre-
sentatives shall be prescribed by law,
but the representation in the senate
shall never exceed one member for
every 5000 inhabitants, and in the
house of representatives one member
for every 1900 inhabitants. The rep
resentation in both houses shall be
apportioned equally throughout the
different sections of the state in pro-
portion to the population thereof, ex-
elusive of Indians not taxable under
the provisions of law
"The last legislative apportion-
ment was made in 1897, over fifteen
years ago, and it is a matter of COM
mon knowledge that representation
in our legislature today is grossly un-
equal under the constitutional pro-
visions just quoted.
"In the last campaign all political
parties in their platforms distinctly
pledged the people legislative reap
portionment as required by the con-
stitution. You were unable to pass
a legislative reapportionment at the
last session, but in this special ses-
sion, with but few subjects pressing
for your consideration, failure to pass
legislative reapportionment in &C
cordance with the constitution would
be a deliberate defiance of the right
of the people to govern themselves.
To deny the people equal represent
tation in the lawmaking branch of
their government is to strike down
