THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AS
SEMBLAt3E OF VOTERS,

The constitutional association Of
electors ought to operate toward the
self and social education OF electors
IN public affairs. The mere oppor'
tunity OF orderly assent lage in place
set apart for the transaction of public
business would naturally give impor-
lance and solemnity to such business !;
very much as church-going gives dig
nifty to religion. Frequent, stated and
solemn assem- blage is insisted on by
every teacher OF every religion. Why
should not patriotism have its congre'
cations OF guardians Of the public well
fare?
Assem- blage for consultation and CO.
operative action will naturally impress
electors with their representative capa-
CITY, Government by the people must
be representative. If tie precinct IS to
be governed by constitutional repre-
sentatlves, much more must all larger
and higher Jurisdictions be controlled
through representation. Precincts will
be federated into ward or town asso-
Citations, and these into city, county
and I. state delegates. From The
Organization Of the Electorate, by

can Review of Reviews for April.

The republican presidential doings
this week have been all to the bad for
Colonel Roosevelt. In the New York
primaries Taft is credited with So
delegates and Roosevelt with only Z.
The Roosevelt men claim the election
a farce, and demand real primary. In
Indiana the state convention was tor

president the four delegates at.la1ge.
The Colonel's following, claiming un-
lair methods, held a rump convention
and also elected delegates.at.large. Out
OF 80 delegates from Indiana indica-
lions point to IL for Roosevelt, some of
the districts not having held elections.
President Taft also gets the full dele

year, although the lion hunter is not

whether any such combination has de-
clined to supply coal to the authorf-
ties Of any city government which
planned to deal in coal for the &C.
