COMMUNICATION
TO THE VOTERS

IO THE vOIEHS
 Tn view of the fact that it is not generally known that movement is on foot, sponsored by certain ambitious politicians, to repeal the existing primary law, and to in augurate in it's place the old, out worn, primitive n q admittedly corrupt convention system of nom mating candidates for Territorial offices, and to accomplish this thing without reference to the vot- CTS of the Territory and, in view of the further fact that no one seems ready to take upon himself the duty to set forth in the press the facts in the case, thereby enab- ling the voters to protect them selves before it is too late, the writer feels called upon to lay be- fore the public this matter and to call for discussion, in the press, of the points at issue contained in the two systems.
 The very fact that an effort was made at the last session of the Territorial Legislature to pass law (H.B. No. 25) over the heads of the people repeating the pri- mary law (the law providing for government by the people, is proof positive that something ulterior exists in the movement or-why the secrecy?
 The voters can congratulate themselves that this bill reached the Senate too late for action by that body otherwise the people of the Teerritory would not be hold ing primary elections this A. D. 1882, and that, too, without being asked by their Representatives to the Legislature, by your leave, or otherwise. The House passed the bill and it only remained for the Senate to confirm the action of the House to make the bill law
 Should the convention system be restored, it will work something like this: Some few politicians will gather together at some remote place (and no matter where it is, it is remote to Someone) and in convention gathered decide for the people for whom they shall vote and they shall accept their conclu- sions without argument. That leaves the field clear for politics to be played and the Territorial af- fairs conducted to suit the few in direct opposition to the welfare of the many.
 Remember, if the convention system returns, there is no alter native. Delegates to conventions, picked before arriving there and told what their duty will be, are a law unto themselves and none shall stay their hands or say unto them: What doest thou?" No per son is of such high moral calibre as to be trusted with the absolute control of the affairs of others. Regardless of their high intent to make self last-well, as David liar um said, There's as much human nature in some folks as there is in others, ,"-So 1t is well to keep your interests within your own hands.
 It might be we'll to state that the sponsors of the continuance of the existing primary law are not with out cogniZance of it's shortcomings but it is the best system we have evolved up to date and it would seem the better policy to revise and improve it rather t OanahbilShET improve it rather than abolish it for system used for years and found so abjeclty wanting.

|rated to protect the voters from politically minded Representatives.
 In this platform should be laid a plank requiring candidates to state in the press that they will do nothing to vitiate the interests of the public without first putting the issue before the people for consid- eration. Do not forget that should you send Legislators to the coming session of the Legislature who are lined up" to put this convention system into effect again, you have sold your birthright and have no redress since the politicians will be ill control and will see that no one goes to the Legislature who is in favor of government by the people. You will have no further voice in government and will not be able to say who shall be your lawmakers. So watch your step Prejudice does not enter this issue It is the rights of the people that are at stake and so be as vigilant as is the opposi tion for your very political life is at stake.
 Women have not interfered in Territorial politics but this effort to reinstate spurious system and force it upon the people has made their vigilance compulsory and so we will hear further from them. Tt is well to let sleeping dog lie"
 Now let us hear from the Spon- sors of the convention system as to it's merits eff it have merits) and if no argument is set forth in the press, we will take for granted there is no argument nothing in favor of such system when put in black and white
 But let me warn the voters once more, that this is the business of all of the people, all of the time and must not be allowed to lan- guish.
 Let the voters also not forget that this is absolutely a non-par- tisan movement, being sponsored by both Democrats and Republi- cans. So we must fight them with their own weapons. Vote for the candidate having the interests of the people at heart. This cam paign is just a little different in it's motives from any we have had before. Now we have the enemy on the run, let us not complain if we fail to catch him.

BALLOTS TODAY
LIKELY To AID
WET CAUSE
Anti-Drys Appear to Have Ad-
vantage in Reapportion-
ment Alignment

A record d-breaking number
of members of the House OF
Representatives-more t h a n
one-eighth of the total-today
faced election in statewide
contests instead of Congress
sional districts.
The total was raised to SIS by
the decision of the Virginia
supreme court holding the State
reapportionment act invalid, and
may be increased to 72 by the
United States Supreme Court.
The unprecedented situation, it
was declared in political circles,
may have an important bearing
not only on the fight between
Republicans and Democrats for
control of the House but also in
the battle between vets and drys.
Mississippi Fights Law
In a final attempt to avoid
statewide choice of House mem
bers, the State of Mississippi
went into the Supreme Court to-
day to overturn a lower federal
court decision holding the legiS-
lative redistricting act invalid.
The high court also has before
it a petition to have the Ten
nessee act declared unconsti-
tutional.
Reapportionment of Congress
sional districts, which was made
necessary because Of shifting
population shown in the 1880
census, was expected to give an
advantage to the vets because
population gains were chiefly in
cities.
In Kentucky, Minnesota, Mis-
souri, and Virginia all members
of the House must be chosen at
large, while part of the delega
tions in Florida, Illinois, New
York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas,
North Dakota and Connecticut
must be elected in this manner.
Issue Definitely Drawn
The resulted has been to draw
the wet-dry issue more definitely
in Kentucky and Missouri, and
the same situation may obtain in
Virginia. All Democratic candi-
dates in Kentucky and Missouri
are pledged to stand by the
national platform, while some of
the Republican candidates are
dry.
The election at large in Min
nesota has given the farmer-labor
party a fighting chance to
capture all nine seats, and thus
raise the third party membership
in the House to a new high level.
One result of the Virginia
statewide congressional election
may be the effacement of one
Republican member of the House.
Representative Lankford (RO of
Virginia has won the past two
elections in the Norfolk district,
although the State is usually
Democratic. The Republicans be-
lieved they had a chance in at
least two districts.
