The second choice is provided t.
correct this defect. Under the new
plan each voter has the privilege o1
casting first and second choice vote
His first choice would, of course, 90 te
the man he desired nominated, and
his second choice to the man he de-
sired, in case his first choice could
not win. AT first count of votes for
any office, the first choice votes are
counted. If one man has the major
ity of the first-class votes cast for
that office, he is declared the nominee.
But if not, then the man receiving
the lowest number of first-class votes
is eliminated.
Every man who voted for this cam
didate also has second choice ex-
preston. The first choice votes are
abandoned and the second choice
votes taken. They are applied to the
first choice votes of the other candi-
dates, as they were cast.
Then another count is made of the
first choice votes that each surviving
candidate received, combined with
the second choice votes that he re-
ceived from the voters who had cast
first choice expression for the man
eliminated. Then if none had sutfi-
cient votes to make up a majority of
the first choice votes originally cast
the next lowest man is eliminated
and his votes applied. By this meth
cd it is held that the man nominated
receives either first or second choice
expressive from majority of all the
voters who voted for that office. He
holds intact the first choice votes he
originally received. In addition to
these he receives the second choice
votes from enough of the voters who
voted for the other candidates to give
him majority.

There's going to be some fun in the
scramble for the governorship of Min.
nesota. There are already four en-
tries: the present incumbent of the
office, Lieut.. Governor Sam Y. Cor
don, VIM. E. Lee and L. G. Spooner.
E. T. Young, former attorney gener-
al, is said to be about ready to file, as
is also r. g. Dunn of Princeton, who
tried it once before and was beaten
by John A. Johnson. The new pri-
mary law with it's second choice
makes it possible for large number
of candidates to get before the people.
At present Lee seems to be the best
bet. The primary law helps him
probably more than it does any one of
the other candidates. With W O
more candidates in, the vote will, of
course, be moresplit up, but the more
that get in, the weaker is the COVER
nor's cause. There's going to De fun
