Since the declaration lias lieon made by Secretary of State Heed that the Socialist party is a "political party" under the construction of the primary election law, and which decision permits of that party to name presidential electors and Judges of the supreme cntir of appeals, whose names will appear on the general election ballot, the stato committee has selected this city for holding a stale convention, which will he held as u mass meeting In the court house Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, to which every Socialist party member, voter and sympathizer lire Invited lo attend. Some time ago the slate ofllcc of the Socialist party at Huntington sent a call lo all the local organizations of that party to make nominations for the places on the stale ticket that might be selected by llio convention method. Tills permitted every party member in the various local organizations to propose the name of their choice, and if the local nominated that person or any other person the nnmcs appeared on a referendum ballot which was lutor submitted to the local organization, thus again allowing each parly member to voto upon the names proposed. In this manner of conducting parly affairs the Socialist party claims to be unique and ultra-democratic.
