Hooker, thlid The usual time for holding the conveu tion is the first Monday in April., I Last year at the conventions hf Id la the three wards of the town to nominata aldermen, the candidates for mayor wera also voted for, but no one candidate re eel ved a majority, and a convention of tbe Democratic voters of the town was) held In the court house. - . It hs been suggested that th town, has increased so greatly tbat the court bouse will not hold all the Democratio voter who wish to participate In th nomination for mayor; that many good and bus citizens do not participate fa the nominations because of the loss of time and the lnoonvenience It put- then to In spending several hours In the court houw on the night of the convention. For several years the convention hasj been large and unweildy, and more so each year. , v During the past twelve months tha town has grown so in population that it Is doubtful if all who wish (and are en titled) to help name the mayor can get even standing room In the court house. Many of our best citizens will remain away because of the anticipated crush. These citJsens are fairly entitled to e hearing. A way can be provided so they can be heard, and a way should be pro vided. , , niwuiunvuuT committee oaa authority to decide on aprlmaryjand we) suggest that they call an election; that tbe voting for mayor be held by fairly appointed (and fair, of course) pollhold ers, who shall hold the polls open from say 10 a. m. to 8:80 p. m. If no candw date receive a majority because of tha multiplicity of candidates, that tberesuld be declared from the court house steps aa soon as the count Is completed; and, be-. ginning at 10 a- m. the next day, thafc another ballot may be taken, the candi dates except the two highest being drop We believe that a properly prepared plan something like the above would be fair to all and would result in selecting" for mayor the man wanted by a majority of tha people. ' It would not Inconvenience our busi ness people or mill employes to tak part (as they ought to) in municipal government. " , It would cause many to take part la the nomination who haven't time to do so under the old plan. Pollholders would, of conrse have to be paid for their services, but the costs would be slight.' One candidate ear at he would be willing to pay his share of this expense." ? Alt the candidates for mayor might confer and .see if they could agree In favor of this plan and are willing to stand the expense. W believe that if they would that tha board of aldermen should and would vote payment of the cost from the town treasury. We think It would be right for the town to pay It. A primary on the above plan we feel - sure would be right and satisfactory to the voters. - . - .
