Nominations by Convention

North Dakota as well other states is finding
ways to subvcrt and supplement the primaries.
Political exigenc.es or old mother necessity are the
parents of the various meetings to arrive at nomi-
nations. The Nonpartsan League has it's conven-
items and the I. V. A. and real Republicans have
theirs to name tickets which will be acceptable To
the various factions and represent the two politi-
cal camps.
These caucuses and conventions reveal the IN
herent weakness of the primary campaign. Party
leaders of the various factions Dc not want to pick
a ticket in the dark via the primary method. They
call in the boys and see by careful canvass which
candidates will prove the strongest. In this way
many persons who may have conflicting aspirations
gathered together. Differences aired and the
elimination process effected with minimum Of
acrimony. Sometimes these meetings which have
warrant at law fail to iron out all differences,
but generally speaking they function did the
and convention before the direct primary
came to confuse and to confound the ward pcliti-
clans.
The primary follows as a second elimination con-
test between the two factions within the Repub.
lican party AS far as state issues 60 these two
factions are net divided principles to any great
extent. 1t becomes mere or less Of a scramble fol
the political jobs with principles quite secondary t.
the chief issue of political provender.
1t Is probably a very good proceeding for the
factions to hold these curtain raisers to the June
primaries. One wonders what would come out CT
the pell nell of primary elections if the leaders
did not call the boys in and feel the parish pulse
once in two years.
step farther should be taken and the primary
legally discarded in the interest Of direct and efca
cious party action. Practically every state has
some scheme to vtiate the operation of the primary
along deaistic lines laid down by it's founders some
of whom have been gathered to their fathers
Peace be to their ashes. Their heirs and assigns
have found a way to perpetuate the gentle art Of
gang politics. 1t takes more than law to produc,
political millennium
But under the present system, despite the clea
violation Of the spirit of the primary law, some
order is secured out of what would be poltca
chaos. Under the form of popular government
under which most American political subdivisions
operate, party rule is the motive power and will
continue to- exert itself just the bootegger does
in defiance of law. The convention caucus or pow.
WOW are the chief nstrumentalities of politics
Legally or illegally such forces will in some way
Influence the selection Of candidates. It is merely
