Editor Of the Tribune:
You know It is not only IN indeli-
cato but 4 hazardous proceeding to
question Z woman's judgment-you
would never be able to present q
closing argument. Neither would it
be ethical for the Honorable Senator
Nye to 60 Into tho point In his own
defense against the many printed at
tacks ahmed ct him.
May Ne ask this confident, decisive
and e9fusive Ia Moure Editor, II she
knows who sent the Junior Senator
from North Dakota on this none too
pleasant undertaking and who pro-
vides the funds for % doing.

undertaking with vigor? Was not

Editor Of The Tribune:
Senate bill No. a. which Is known
Is the Fowler bill, has Is its object
tho doing away with the presiden-
ttal primaries and taking from the
citizens Of this state the right to
express their choice Is to who shall
be president Of this nation. The pro-
visions Of this bill are that we will
elect precinct committee men In each
precinct who, In turn, viii meet ct
the county seat and elect represent
atives to . state meeting at which
delegates to tho national convention
viii be chosen, national committee
men selected. and presidential elec-
tors.
The date Of the state primaries
viii b changed, II this bill becomes
. Law, to the fourth Monday In May,
The changing Of the date Of these
two primaries places all Of the cam
paiguing and work during seeding
time 80 that the farmers viii b &C.
verely handicapped and It Is unjust,
While ct Bismarck I interviewed
many members Of the legislature and
they ell expressed their views to the
effect that the bill win pass both
houses and become q law unless Il
Is. referred to the people and they are
given . chance to vote On Il. II this
Is done tho election would probably
be held Ut the March or June pri-
maries Of 1881.
I feel that the progressive member.
OF the legislature should do all II
their power In an honorable and manly
way to defeat this measure. II they
fail We have two alternatives. one ,tt
refer The bill to q vote Of the people
This viii hold It up and prevent IL
becoming . law until after the vote
has been taken. Failing In this, then
We Should So that we eject enough
precinct committeeman TO control the
state convention.
I feel that every citizen Of thia
state has the right to express himself
- to who u his choice for president
Yours truly.
