that a preferential primary for
President lie held in every precinct,

1912; that, each of the parties nam-
ed to hold said precinct convention
also hold primary election or ap-
point some suitable perron to hold
the same and provide a ballot box
and open the polls at such hour and
close at such hour as may be deemed
practical in order to get a fair ex-
pression of the voters: that only such
parties be permitted to vote who are
eligible to vote at the Democratic
primary of this year; that each voter
will write the name of his choice
for President on a slip of paper and
give to the election chairman and
have the same deposited in the baliot
box; that after the election closes
the said chairman shall, with his
secretary or clerk, count the votes
and make due return thereof to the
county chairman; that the result of
said primary election be considered
as binding Instruction to the dele-
gates to the county and state con-
ventions.
A motion wns made and carried
that each precinct so holding said
preferential primary dio not Instruct
its delegates at the prceinct conven-
tion as to any choice for President,
but that the result of the vote of
said preferential primary be consid-
ered the proper instruction on that
subject.
If the parties herein appointed to
hold said primaries should fail or
refuse to hold said primary or ap-
point some one to do so then the
voters present at said voting place

mary election.

the party which lie thinks Taft can
not do. Mr. Dunn reports an oil
boom at Tioga. A derrick is going
