Contingent View on Nominating Candidates Past and Present
W. M. Ramsey argues for the older convention system over primaries and caucuses, praising county and state conventions for fair delegate selection while condemning current party primaries as breeding mob politics, self seeking candidates, and weakened party organization in Oregon and Union county. He cites Bourne’s spending claims and reflects on historical shifts from caucuses to conventions, urging careful attention to democratic process and leadership.
