Oct. some

of this section have been
having a quiet discussion
of the advisability of having the
next Senator selected by the State

would have its advantages would
be glad to have some expression

subject. That western Democrats
would favor a

only be natural, as this would

It is regarded as a foregone con-
that the convention would
select a western man. It is
out that a convention
would come nearer than any
other method to being an
of the will of the great mass of
voters, and then the chances for
friction the party would
be reduced to a minimum, a fact
which is advanced as the most
of all reasons for favoring
action by the It would
preclude the possibility of the
sharpness, to put it mildly, that
characterized contest between

The convention would,
some think, strike a happy medium
between the primary
method of selection. Again,
it would settle the sensational con-
test in advance, which would give
