CHANGE IN PRIMARY
Delegate Conventions Au-
thorized BY Law
TALK ON WORD "MAY"
Filing BY Candidates For Dele
gates Provided 1.-The Intent
Is Plain =.

ANY voter desiring to become a
candidate for delegate or a polI.ical
party to the county convention from
the election district in which such vot-
er resides may do so by filing with the
1ounty auditor of the county Of his
residence, at least fifteen days be-
fore the date of such delegate cleo
ton, an affidavit, blank forms oil
which shall be provided by the coun-
ty auditor of the respective counties,
ETC." y
The foregoing is an extract from
the amendment to the primary elec-
ton law of the state OF Minnesota.
The < amendment was passed and
approved April 25, 1921, and carrying
and immediate enactment clause, was
at once effective.
There had been much discussion
aroused by the wording or this ex-
tract which is from Section of Sen
ate File No 702. The use OF the word
may" with regard to filing his name
for election as delegate TO the con-
vention has been construed by many
to mean that, with the context OF the
law, a man must file in order to be-
come a delegate candidate. Others
saw that a man who is voter may
file if he wishes but that it is not p
necessity TO make the voters candi-
dacy legal. The former is without
doubt the spirit of the law but in
court the wording and not the mean
ing would be the issue.
. Stated On Ballot
The law as amended further pro-
Vides for county. district and state
conventions. the primary to be used
in the naming of delegates to the
county convention. 1t states that the
choice for office of the conventions
shall be so designated on the ballots
are to apply to the elections wherein
these delegates are eIe~,od.
The law sets the second Tuesday
fin March of the years ending in even
9.lumbers as the dates on which elec-
'tions for the selection of delegates
are to be held. This date is aso to
be utilized for taking OF voters reg
Continuing on the procedure, the
amendment specifies that the county
conventions are to be held within ter
Gays after the delegate election on
date to. be fixed by the state central
committees.
Authority of Conventions
These county conventions are au
thorized to elect delegates to the
state convehtion; appoint county
committee; elect delegates to the
district convention which lies wholly
within the county or of which the
county is part and to certify the
names of delegates elected : to the
sccretary of state
The state convention, under the
new. law, is to be held on any OF the
last seven days in March except On
Saturday. The state convention may
adopt a state platform; .endorse
state officers including the United
States senator and also names the
presidential electors.
II is probable that there will be
1ntroversy over the use Of the word
Hay until there is decision from che
fohice OF the attorney general but the
idea OF the lawmakers was 10 make
i comnulsorx for all candidates foI
delegate to file with the auditor fif-
teen days before the date of election.
