There were many "hOles" n last sea

the players no good and toward the

CONFUSED voT1NG.

1t soon becomes apparent to those
who have to deAl in n way with
! election returns that a great deal Of
the voting that is done is done by
guess. There is neither order nor
system about it. This fact is shown
quite clearly in the voting that was
done on Tuesday on convention dele
gates. IN each party there were two
complete tickets for this office. On
the Republican ballot there were two
extra names of persons who had an
nounced their withdrawal toe late to
prevent the printing of the names on
the ballots. Aside from these two.
there were two complete tickets on
each party ballot. In each case n
Of these tickets was made up of can
didates who were nominated by those
in close association and sympathy
with the Townley organization, and
the other was made up Of those NOM
mated by persons thoroughly oppos-
ed, to Townleyism in all it's forms.
The purpose Of the primary was to
select delegates to the national party
conventions. the expectation being
that h ten men chosen in each par
ty would represent a certain definite
principle, INC would go to the ma
tional convention prepared to give
expression to that principle in appro-
pirate ways. There was no question
Of individuality. Scarcely any of the
voters knew all of the candidates,
even by name. and most Of tho voiers
had known even the names of only a
very few of them. Taking the situa-
ton in a broad way it can be said
that the voters were unacquainted
with the candidates, knew nothing
Of either their occupation .or their
character, n were entirely without
ability to judge as to the fitness OF
these candidates for a position of i'm
portance. The candidates had been
selected by small groups who. wheth-
err with or without warrant, purport-
ed to act as representatives of the
great body of voters whose political
beliefs were similar to their own. The
only specific thing, therefore, that the
voters knew about the candidates was
that they were put forward and en-
dorsed by certain other persons who
stood for certain policies in govern
, ment.
Obviously the logical thing for the
voter to do was to vote the straight
ticket of his faction. To do other
wise va: to a $ part Of a vote for
that 7~which-the voter desired, and the
other part against it. Yet that is ex-
actly what a great many Of the vot-
ers did. Some, approaching the sit
uation. had equipped themselves in
advance with lists Of the candidates
for whom they desired to vote, and
these lists were used in the voting
booths. Others had failed to take
this ~precaution., and they were all at
sea. The result was a wierd ~collec-
ton Of spotted votes.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1920-03-18

the presidential primary ballot were
selected through the, operation Of at
least five separate statewide party
81 fActional conventions, and the
proceedings ct each were quite sim
liar Ain many Of their features to the
proceedings at the old state conven-
lions Of more or less fragrant mem
DRY.
The fact seems to be that there
is needed some means whereby people
Of like sentiments and interests can
formulate their policies and decide
on their candidates through a repre-
sentative body Of some sort. If the
law does not specify the particular
sort Of machinery which shall he
used for this purpose. the peoplP
who are interested will invent ways
OF their own. 4
