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. These are by no means all,
simply straws which show the trend of
a pretty strong grange wind, say you
not?
