These questions are not in the
realms of abstract thought. They must
be taken out of the world Of cloudy
promise and vague phrasing into the
world of performance and of fact.

est degree prepared itself to ward off
the danger. No promise. no excuse now

ciates to show the people that they
have worthy alternative to which to
turn.

notice on the members of your conven-
ton that your action must be taken
with view to the interests not of the
United States. but of Germany and of
that section Of the German American
vote which is anti-American to the
core. | believe with all my heart that
the action Of these sinister professional
German Americans will be repudiated
with angry contempt by the great mass
of our fellow-citizens who are in whole
or in part of German blood and who. as
well know, are unsurpassed in rugged
and whole -souled Americanism by any
other citizens of our land.
But the professional German -Ameri-
cans are seeking to terrorize your con-
vention; for they wish to elect next
November man who shall not be in
good faith an American President, but
the viceroy of A foreign government
1T is for your convention in emphatic
fashion to repudiate them. This can be
done in effective manner only II such
action is taken as to enable republic

that such business will be attended to
either before or following June IA.

LAW AND SENSE.

THE IJPREME court of Minnesota
declares in a recent decision that the
preferential voting" system is uncon:
stitutional. This plan of voting, which
has been applied with considerable sat
isfaction in several states, aims to let
no candidate into public office I'M
less he wins a clean majority over
his competitors. The purpose is &C.
;omplished by a form of ballot which
Enables the voter to register not only
lis primary preference, as he does on
he usual ballot, but his second pre-
'erence. third preference. etc, in case
lis first choice fails OF a majoriy.
In this device, heretofore considered
harmless and even admirable, the Min,
| lesota tribunal finds a wrong perpe'
lated against the voter. The argu
nent runs about like this:
The constitution guarantees each
citizen the right to vote. Voting
means casting one vote for each office
The citizen has no right to cast more
than one vote for the same office: and
he has a right to be protected from
having any other citizen cast more
than one vote for that office.
The fact that by no possibility car
his vote put more than one man into
that office makes no difference will
the court. Law is law. and logic is
logic-whether it's sense or not. AND
so If Minnesota wants the preferen
tial system 1t must change its con
stitution.
The supreme court of New Jersey
deciding the same question, unde
constitutional provisions just like Min
nesota's, rendered verdict exactl.
