A feeling that

■ , a nomination Is practically equivalent s to an election is widespread, and be- * ’ cause of this fact the delegates will ' undoubtedly exercise a wise judgment in choosing candidates. It can make no mistake, however, since there are so many capable men seeking places , on the ticket.
