Mr.. Greenes position Is a sound

something to recommend the prac-

a consequence the national conyen.
ton came into existence.
1t is well TO have the people at
home do the nominating through
their delegates, also taken from
home The man in Washington may
often times be too near the center
OF the political whirlpool to make
his judgment sound, 1t has been
said that the last place in the world
TO get the real pulse of the country
is in Washington Washington is in
sense removed and detached from
the rest of the country. which isn't
so much of a paradox as it may at
first appear Then, the men in the
Congress get mixed up more or less

unavoidably they view things in a
much different light than that Of the
ordinary man
So, unless the conditions are I'M
usual, as Mr. Greene says. ii is bet
ter for the people and better for the
men in congress, to leave the selec-

can always get the advice of the
congressional delegation and make
such use Of it as is wise. 1t is not
necessary to have the Washington
folks on the delegation in order to
make their experience and knowl-
