Who Wants Delegates
 From South Dakota?
Presidential Candidates Must File Claims Within Eighty four Weeks-Constitution Prevents General
 Direct Primaries Day

In those states where primary dates are fixed by law, however, and in particular where, by en- forced petition or otherwise, pres idential aspirants are required openly to declare their inten- tions, the interest will be great.
 The first state presidential primary will be held in New Hampshire on March g next. AL though there is no direct vote for presidential candidates in that state in the primary, delegates may file statements of preference, if they so desire.
 The first really direct vote for presidential candidates will occur in North Dakota when the pri- mary is held in that state on March 16. These candidates may have their names placed on the primary ballot through petition of not less than five hundred voters of their party. March 1 is the last day upon which these petitions may be filed. The next primary date is that of South Da- kota heretofore referred to.
 On April the Michigan pri- mary will be held. At least one hundred qualified voters of the state must sign a candidates pe- tition before twelve o'clock noon on March l in order that the candidate may participate in the primary. Delegates to the na- tional convention are not se- lected at this primary in Michi- gan but at a state convention.
 The following day, April $, New York and Wisconsin hold presidential preference prima- ries. Delegates are selected at the primary in New York but no preference is indicated on the primary ballot. In Wisconsin, however, at least one per cent. of the party electors in at least six counties, (not less than one per cent. nor more than ten per cent. of the total vote in the state) must file petition for the presi- dential candidate not later than March $. The delegates are chosen in the primary and can didates for delegate may file a. statement of principles or presi- dential choice, in not exceeding five words, which will be print ed on the ballot.
 The Illinois primary comes next, on April 13, at which dele gates from congressional dis tricts to the National convention will be selected. Delegates at large from the entire state of Illinois are named in a state con- vention held on May 10, when the preference indicated in the pre- ceeding presidential primary is supposed to be ratified Under the Illinois law petitions placing the name of the presidential can didate on the primary ballot must be signed by not less than three thousand nor more than five thousand electors affiliated with the candidates party. The last day for filing these petitions is March@3. Delegates running in the district primaries must state their choice or declare mo pref erence.' Presidential candidates may disavow a candidacy for

Delegates are required to file their petitions not later than March A, and these peti- tions must be signed by at least one-half of one per cent, or not more than two per cent, Of the entire party vote in the state.

Candidates for delegates expressing no pref erence are printed under title mo preference"
 In Indiana the candidate for president is required to file a personal declaration either in person or by designated repre- sentative not later than March 8. The petitions of the presi- dential candidates In Indiana must contain at least five hundred signatures. Delegates selected at the Indiana state conventions are obligated to vote as unit for the popular choice of the state as long as his name is before the national convention.
 On May 1e4 delegates to the national conventions are selected in Wyoming at state conventions. There is no presidential preferen- tial primary in the state.
 Primaries will be held in Penn sylvania and Vermont on May IS. In the Keystone state peti- tions must be filed by the presi- dential candidate not later than April 8, containing at least one hundred signatures from at least ten counties. Delegates selected at this primary to the national conventions may promise to sup port the popular choice, so 1ndi- cated on the ballot, or may refuse to make a pledge, at their op- ton. In Vermont the candidate for president must assent to the printing of his name on the of ficial primary ballot, such assent to be given not later than April 26. At least five hundred sigma lures are required to the petitions of presidential candidates in Yer mont. Delegates to the national convention are elected in Yer mont at a state convention held within three weeks following the primary.
 On May 21 the presidential preference primary is to be held in Oregon. Candidates for the presidency may file a written request for the printing of their names on the ballot, this request to be made not later than April 16. The candidacy may be pre- sented by petition of at least one thousand electors belonging to the candidates party.

washington, D. C., Nov. 20.- Just six weeks from today the various statesmen of the rival po- litical parties who aspire to the presidency of the United States must make knoXn their inten- tions, if they desire to compete for the ten delegates to their respective national conventions from South Dakota.
 5his probably will be news to usost. if not all, of the candidates themselves, but the fact is that under the South Dakota presi- dential primary law candidates who desire to participate in the primary in that state must file their petitions not later than the first day of the new year.
 While the South Dakota prt- mary which is fixed by law for March 23 is the third that will be held in the coming year the last day for filing petitions there is earlier than in any other state.
 The South Dakota law also is unique in that it requires candi- dates to file a personal declara- tion of principles and a state ment defining the issue of the campaign m not more than eight words. It is also provided in the South Dakota law that candidates ; for the presidency who seek the states endorsement in the primary must engage in at least one public debate in the state,
 
 ed representative
 Many students of politics had expected that 1920 might witness a general presidential preferen- tial primary race but this has been prevented by constitutional limitations which precluded the passage by Congress of law ap- plicable to the whole country. When efforts to frame such na- tional legislation were made prior to the war it was d;scov- cred that a law fixing a common primary date would be impossible without the consent of all the state legislatures.
 Agreement by the forty-eight states upon a common primary date was not considered prac- ticable without the su ubmtssion of an amendment to the federal con stitution which, many believe, would encroach upon the rights of the states to enact their own election laws.
 While for this reason no presi- dential primary legislation has been proposed in Congress, some twenty-one of the states have, in one form or another, made pro vision for choosing candidates for presidential nominations in a popular manner. The majority of the states, however, still adhere to the old state convention sys- tenn of selecting delegates to the national conventions.
 As the dates of these conven- tons in twenty-six of the states are yet to be fixed by the state political committees of the re- spective parties, they do not figure in ~fhe nublic interest at this time. Only in Wyoming is the convention date fixed by law.

delegate whereupon the candi- date for delegate is not certi- fled.
 The Nebraska primary will be held on April 20. At least one hundred voters from each con gressional district must sign a presidential candidates petition not later than March 20. Prest- dential candidates are not re- quired in Nebraska to file a per- sonal declaration nor is the presi- dential preference for candidates for delegates indicated on the primary ballot.
 In Montana the presidential primary is fixed for April 23, the petitions of presidential can didates requiring the signatures of one hundred electors in one tenth of the precincts in seven counties. The last day for filing petitions is April 2. Delegates elected at the primary are not re- quired to indicate their presi- dential preference.
 Three primaries are sche duled for April 27, in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Ohio. In the Bay State there Is no direct vote for presidential candidates, but dele gates may express preference, which s. aAement of preference must be approved by the presi- dentia1 candidate before 5 P. M. on the last day of filing, which is March 23. The presidential pref erence of the candidates for dele gates is indicated on the pri- mary ballot.
 In New Jersey at least one thousand voters must sign a pe- tition for the presidential can didate before April l. The presi- dential candidate may, if he de- sires, withdraw the petition. If requested the presidential pref erence of delegates running in the primary must be indicated on the primary ballot.
 In Ohio the presidential candi- date, either in person or by au- thorized representative, must file a personal declaration contain ing a pledge of support of party principles as declared in the na-
 
 the Ohio presidential candidates must file their declarations not later than February 27 and may withdraw from the primary race prior to March 13. The declara- tion of the candidate or his representative must be accom- panied by a certificate from five electors of the state belonging to the candidates party. Can didates for delegates to the na- tional conventions elected in Ohio are required to state their first and second choice for presi- dent, which statement appears on the ballot immediately below the candidates name. Candidates for delegates also pledge themselves to support in the national con- vention the popular choice for the presidential nomination in the primary in Ohio.
 The primary in Maryland is to be held on May 3. Presidential candidates are required to file a personal declaration not later than April 24. No petitions are required in Maryland, however, Delegates to the national conven- ton in Maryland are selected at state conventions and under the law are instructed to vote in the national convention for the can didate of their party who carries the state in the primary.
 May f will witness primaries in California and in Indiana. The California law provides that the names of the presidential can didates shall be printed on the ballot at the head of the column containing the names of delegates pledged to them. The law stipu-
