3rd At tho precinct meetings dem ¬
ocrats who will support the nomineesare entitled to voto
In our opinion It can not bo dogmat-ically
¬
asserted that there Is only onefair way of making nominations and inreaching these conclusions wo believewo have combined the beet features ofall plans
Every democrat will have a right tovoto at his own voting place and It willrequire a majority of all tbo votes oftbo district to mako a nomination
Each county will bavo all tbo In ¬fluence In making tbo nomination towhich It Is entitled and no more
Wo bar no ono who wishes to be acandidate for either office There arecandlIor more for each office With three ormore candidates In different portions
a
of tho district for the same office U Ispractically certain no one could get amajority by a primary election In ¬
deed with four candidates 1200 votes
ro11Jtatoour no ono can be nominatedwithout securing a majority of the en ¬
tire district which must of necessitysatisfy the greatest number Our po ¬
sition Is manifestly just to all If anyone gtts any advantage over any onealso a majority of all the voters of thedistrict must assist him
Upon a call of tbo counties on tbosubstitute tbo votes stood thus Boylecounty Reed S Nichols aye GarrardT B Robinson aye Lincoln R CWarren no Mercor county D LeeCurry aye The substitute prevail ¬
