[?]tions from Senator Simon.

E. a PvEPUBLi x: I have .■‘.•a requested by R< publicans 4osuggest a form, of a 'call forßeptiblican nominating conventions. A- Republican, .voter feels that he would like to make or be a part of the-nominating jury. In a primary election or mass convention the voter, and in a delegate . con volition the member should be the counting unit. ? A large mass convention affords few facilities for equal rights. A ■’'mary election brings ties and i minorities to vex us. Th-, rnuik ami ■ V voter loves a sqmvote and ;.L<> a majority decisiA nominating jury, one of w' .. each voter, helps select, cai act fairly if not changed by proxy, or substitute. The following form would need modi’iiAuion for a township containing a town or city: REPUBLICAN TOWNSHIP CONVENTION. The Repulpli caTl voters of Gillam township will meet at their respective school houses on Friday, March 23, 1888, at 7 p. m. to elect ?. <lolcgnto J arid-lake one La 1lot for "a"■"Ropublican township ticket. The delegates will meet at Center school house, on Saturday, March 2-1, at 2p. m., to estimate the ballot cast and complete the nominations by a majority ballot of the delegates. Should a majority of the ballots .designate one man for a place on the ticket this would be a nomination by direct vote. The work-cam be completed by.f,fee delegates.
