HAROLD J. DANE, Editor. The Second Choice Feature. Following is the clearest explana- tion of the second choice feature of the proposed direct primary for the state that the editor of the Pioneer has read. If was written by Stillman H. Bingham for the Duluth Herald and is as follows: “You might think to step into such a circle of lawmakers as can be didates. A would be nominated with a large majority of his party against him on principle. “But under the second choice plan there would be no nomination on the first choice vote because a majority is required. No candidate having re- ceive a majority, the process of elimination would begin, “D, being low man, weuld be drop- ped. The second choices of thoss who voted for him would be credited where they belong. Ot his 5,000 sup- porters, 1,000 had A for' second choice, 3,000 were for B and 1,000 for found almost anywhere in the house and senate chambers or in the hotel lobbies during spare hours, that the second choice provision is as compli- cated and intricate as a Chinese puz- zle. “Somebody ought to write a ro- mance about it if he gets time, and call it the ‘Mystery of the second Choice; or the Marvelous Puzziehead- edness of those Who Do Not Wish to Understand.” “Almost everywhere you go you will find one of these groups, busy figuring with pencil and paper on the second choice, with several individu- als in each group pretending that it is a ridiculously complicated thing which no ordinary intelligence can grasp. “Careful chemical analysis of about sixteen of these groups and of their deliberations develops this interest- ing fact: C as second choice. These figures would be added to the first choices of A, B and C. This would give A 31,- 000, B 28,000 and C 21,000. Still there would be no nomination, as 37,- 501 votes constitute a majority. “So C, the next low man, would be eliminated, and the second choice votes of his followers credited up. Of his 20,000 supporters 1,000 gave A as second choice; 15,000 were for B; 4,000 were for D, but D is now elim- inated. This would give A 22,000 and B 43,000. B, now having a ma- jority, is declared the nominee. This would be the case if his total did not constitute a majority, = because the process is continued until but two candidates are left, and the nomina- tion goes to the one having the larg- est total of first and second choices. “Thus the majority of progressives in the party would prevail, and the minority of conservatives would lose; though they would have won ungues- comets. Since 1888 he has been the director of the Smith Observatory at Geneva, N. Y., and professor of as- tronomy in Hobert College. He was a pioneer worker in photography and one of the first to apply that seience to astronomical investigation and study. The scientific achievements of Dr. Brooks have been recognized by the Royal Astronomical society, the Paris Academy of Sciences, the As- tronomical society of Mexico and the Astronomical society of the Pacific, all of which have bestowed madals and honors upon him.
