Progressive challenge to 1912 vote rule on legislative nomination
Des Moines leaders of the Progressive party plan to go to court if Secretary of State Allen rules that legislative candidates named by written ballots must meet 10 percent of the 1912 governor vote to be eligible for county and senatorial district convention nominations. They argue candidates with any vote should qualify if they reach 35 percent. A.G. Cosson argues the law requires at least 25 percent, not 10 percent, and that legislative districts are separate state offices.
