OF 1920 WILLBE - FIRED TUESDAY For First Time, New Primary" Law Will Affect Na- 4" tional Election GEN. WOOD SEEMS TO BE CHOICE OF G. O. P. Candidates for ‘Governor Will Also Receive Endorsement by His Party Sessions (By United Press.) Pierre, S. D., Dec. 1. — Opening guns in the 1920 national elections will be fired tomorrow. . For the first time the Richards pri- mary law will affect a national e.lec- tion and candidates for high offices will be named by state convention of the political parties. Each party, having elected county proposal men, will be called together by chairmen of their respective state central committees to pick candidates to enter the primaries. Republicans, normally in large majority in the state, will have the biggest conven- tion.- Gen. Wood Is Favored. Major General Leonard Wood was held up today as the most likely ma- jority nominee of the republicans. Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois is also expected to be placed in .the field. Leading republicans predicted Wood would be given the majority nomination of the convention and Lowden the minority nomination. Democrats are expected to give the majority nomination either to Wil- jan cAdoo,. former ires ‘general of railroads, and sec: ¥ the treasury; or to A. Mitchell Pal- mer, attorney general of the United States. - Other candidates are expected to be injected into the campaign by the convention. U. S. Senator Hiram Johnson of California may be nomi- nated by friends, if not on the re- publican convention floor, then prob- ably by five or more protesting pro- posal men who must file a petition in nomination with the secretary of state after the conventions have nominated. Must File Declaration. Each party filing the.nomination of their choice for national offices will be-required to .file at the sa time a declaration of principles limi ed to eight words. If an independ- ent candidate files for nomination a set of principles must also be filed. Thus the candidates will be placed on record on one or more issues. The conventions vote by roll call and each proposal man is entitled to cast one-third of the votes cast in his county in thé last general elec- tion, for his party candidates for governor. -~ Votes so cast are called units. Each county is stipposed to send three proposal men to Pierre tomorrow. It was learned today that some counties will probably be shy their quotas but every county, ex- cept one, has named at least one republican proposal man. The state proposal men’s conven- tions will name in addition full select state tickets to be voted on at the primaries in March. DOES ANYBODY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?
