asws of all descriptions has been es-
Seciaily strong and promises to con

those conditions the buyer is more

BASIS OF REPRESENTATION.

One Of the things to be decided be.
fore the next republican national con-
venuon is what the basis Of represen-
tation shall be, whether, as in the
past, the republicans Of state shall
be represented In the convention OF
their party by delegates apport1oned
on the, basis, OF stotal population, re.
gardless OF political ataliation, or by
delegates whose number Is based on
the actual number Of republicans In
the state. The question has been a
subject Of contention for years. and
ut every republican national conven'
ton some more or less vigorous ef-
forts have been made for change to
the plan Of representation In proper.
ton to republican votes. This has
gone on for years, but thus far with
out result. Last year the movement
for change gained greater Roadway
than ever before, but no action was
taken. Ordinarily the subject has
passed into temporary oblivion be.
tween presidential elections, but In
this occasion interest in 1t has been
maintained. and there are evidences
OF p real determination to have some.
thing done about. it. .,; s, J. 49,
It Is obvious that the plan OF rep
resentation in accordance with the
party vote cast Is the only equitable
one. Men who do not vote for re-
publican candidates or profess to be
republicans have no business in a re.
publican convention. either in person
or by proxy. And a republican who
happens to live in a populons state
where the republican vote is small is
not entitled to have any more voice
in the proceedings Of the convention
than is another member of the party
living in q state of equal population
where the republican vote is heavy.
And yet under the present system the
few Thousand republican voters In a
southern state have as much repre-
sentatioa in national convention as
have the many thousands Of voters of
that party in northern state. A
large proportion Of the delegates IN
the national conventions are sent by
states which never did cast republi-
can electoral vote, and which are not
expected to do So.
AS a matter Of equity the represent
tatisa Of all parties should be based
on the party vote. There is not the
same demand for this among the
democrats, for their votes are better
distributed than the republican votes.
They are reasonably sure Of most OF
the southern states, and there Is
scarcely northern state in which
they did not occasionally make a
good showing at the polls. For this
reason there has never been any
great demand among the democrats
for change in the basis of represen.
tation. Grand Forks Times.

NOW POLITICS IMPROVES.

Signs OF improvement in political
methods are to be seen on every hand.
What a long way We have come since
xoters, received thetr4 ballots from spo-
ltical committees. and the state paid
no attention to see whether they were
correct or ''phony!" How lonk is it
since eangsters and hee'ers pursued
the citizen with opportunities and ev-
en- threats to the very door Of the vot-
ing place?
Instead OF the private and often
faxed ballot. We have the ballot ar.
ranged and printed by the state. We
have driven the heelers two hundred
feet from the polls, and have est b.
.lished order and decency.
These improvements in political
manners and methods are reflected
higher up. Only on Saturday mem.
Der of the national house of represen-
tatiyes resigned because be felt that
he had not been fairly elected, and he
did not want to hold a place to which
he was not entitled. Four years ago
John F. Shafroth, of Colorado, in q
similar spirit, arose in the house and
said: my supporters counted me in. l
cannot accept their work. l resign"
What words were these to fall on
the ear Of an assembly which has been
given to violent battles for suprema-
cy. Twenty years ago it was an I'M
heard of thing for man who had not
been legally elected to admit it. On
the contrary, he matched affidavit
with affidavit. and If his party was in
the majority be stayed. no matter
what the voters intended.
Some twenty years ago John c.
Carlisle was speaker of the house.
The Covington district in Kentucky
had always returned him without
question. He paid lite attention to
his own campaign. Suddenly the
Covington district grew cold, and at
one election the vote was so close
. that nobody could tell which had been
elected, Carlisle or bis upstart oppo'
nent. The matter went to the com
mittee on election, and it is greatly to
be feared that the speaker was count
ed in.
This illustrates the difference in the
spirit Of that day and this. Then the
great speaker had to be protected al
the expense Of the purity Of the bal
lot. Now the speaker would have ia
take his place with the common mem
Der. He would remain ii elected. and
60 if not elected. The purity Of the
ballot has been put above the fortunes
of any Observation-Disclosures Jour,
, nal.

| The fact that the headquhr tors of pub
