Prtss Correspondent yew York State Granoe ELECTING DELEGATES. i What IN Ilent Policy In Soleotliin J IlcpreMeiatativen to Slati* iiriiiiiceT [Special Correspondence,) The season for electing delegates to the various state granges to be held from December to February is now on. According to the custom now pre vailing. the delegates are chosen from the Pomona grange In counties where there Is a Pomona, and In some in i stances the most efficient representa j tives And their way to the state grange. In some cases they are not the most | efficient. The custom which prevails I in some counties of passing the honors around to the subordinate granges In the county does not always bring the best representatives to the front, yet it may be only to the subordinate granges that they share the honors with each other. Rut even if this is done the delegate at large should be chosen because of his experience at the state grange meetings and be one of the ablest men that the county can select. The very ablest on the delegate list may be found from granges in every Order. It has been suggested in a western grange paper that members of subor dinate granges should select the state grange officers they would like to see elected and have their vote canvassed and declared at the state grange meet ing. Only such names as appear on the ballots sent in by the subordinate grange should be considered candi dates. We do not favor this plan at all. Kather than this we would prefer to see nominations made in open grange, the same as in political con ventions, allowing the delegate who placed his candidate In nomination, : say, ten minutes to set forth the claims and qualifications of his candi date. At present nominating speeches are not allowed, and often members cannot know of the qualifications which a candidate possesses. Even In the Pomona and subordinate granges It Is not allowable to nominate candi dates for office, yet It would save time If this were permissible. In a recent Pomona grange meeting ! five delegates were to be elected to the j I state grange. The plan of passing the ; ! honors around among the granges Is j in vogue, and there was a desire on I the part of some of the officers to give I granges in a distant part of the county j \ a representation, yet few present knew j 1 who were representative men to select, j | This plan was resorted to: A commit ! tee of five was appointed to present n | list of ten names to represent those , j granges that had not recently been ; honored with a delegate. Out of those | ten names live were to be selected as j ! delegates, thus allowing the members i of the Pomona a little choice in flic j ' matter. This was. found to save time. ■ , and the result was satisfactory to all j 1 concerned. Whether this plan would lie advisable in electing officers of subordinate. Pomona or state granges Is problematical. A PATRON. 1 STATE GRANGE DELEGATES. llbnlb on Which Th<*y Are Allotted I Explained. It Is not clear to all members of the ; grange just what the basis of repre sentation in the state grange Is. We i refer now to New York state parttcu- | larly. Delegates are allotted to dif ferent counties by the state grange secretary upon reports received from the subordinate granges for the quar- ' ter ending Sept. 30. The allotment is made Nov. 15. and every grange in the state is notified of the number of delegates that the county will bo en titled to In which it is located. Every comity is entitled to one delegate at large, whether It has one grange or fifty. Then. In addition to the delegate nl large, (he county is entitled to an other f>r eatli full 400 members, and after that one delegate may be elected ( for every fraction of 400 members ox- i ceedlng 200. Each alternate delegate ; • must be a matron. These delegates ; are elected at the Pomona grange meetings In counties where there is a Pomona grange. If not, the county j deputy calls a meeting some time in December of all the masters and past masters and their wives who are matrons, and they elect the delegates from every county. Any fourth decree member Is eligible. If a male delegate is accompanied by his wife, lie draws five days' pay instead of four, and the same is true if the delegate Is a wo man accompanied by her husband. Delegates are paid 52.50 per day for four days and t! cents mileage one way. New Tlilnitn 1" Grnnffe Work. Among "new things" In grange work during recent months are noted Ore gon's vigorous lecture hour plans (in eluding a literary, a travel and a geo graphical topic, besides its farm topics), Pennsylvania's grange banks. New York's and New Jersey's grange schol arships in agricultural colleges and Ohio's h >me and grange reading courses.
