WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1924 17 HAS NEW IDEA ON NOMINATING Prof. Suggests Conventions Pick Slates Congress should be empowered by amendment to the national constitu- tion to regulate presidential nomina- tions, according to Prof. P. Orman Ray, of the political economy depart- ment of Northwestern university, and one of the next moves should be a national presidential primary not to elect delegates to national conventions but to nominate a president and vice president from among half-a-dozen names already put before the country by regular party conventions, Prof. Ray, who has made a deep study of American elections, primaries and systems of conventions of pol- itical parties, made these points in a talk this week over the Chicago Daily News radio, WMAQ. His topic was: "The Reform of Presidential Nominat- ing Methods," and he urged various independent bodies of thinking men and women in the United States to take up this subject at once and strive to obtain the necessary legislation. "There must be an impressive de- monstration of reform sentiment," said Prof. Ray, "before the major parties and their congressional candidates will pledge their support to the admission of the necessary constitutional amend- men to the several states." The Northwestern professor con- tended that the people of the United States can hardly afford to abolish or even emasculate the national con. vention, "and substitute direct pop- ular nomination of presidential can- didates even under a uniform primary law." He urged, however, that the political convention be regulated by national law and would leave, he stated, the selection of presidential nominees finally to the people after Do You Tire Easily? Tired feet are perhaps the warning that your present footwear has un- natural lines or is too stiff-arched to permit the necessary freedom of the foot muscles. If you ignore this timely warning, serious foot troubles may follow. The foot arch is a Flexible struc- ture of twenty-six small bones, sur- rounded by twenty elastic muscles, all eager for freedom and action If the movement of these muscles is restricted by a stiff arched shoe, the muscles grow weak from lack of use and the feet tire easily. That is why antilever Shoe has a flexible arch that conforms to " the natural movements of the foot. Instead of binding the foot muscles and opposing their free play, the Cantilever Shoe harmonizes with the action of the muscles, encourages them to exercise and grow strong. Change to Cantilever Shoes; they will correct your foot troubles and strengthen your arches and foot muscles so that you can walk or stand for long hours with little or no fatigue. Cantilevers are patterned from the natural lines of the foot. Moderate, well-set heels and trimly rounded toes help keep your feet normal and com- fortable. Good looking lasts--ox- fords, strap pumps and boots--in fashionable colors and leathers. Widths from AAAA to E. NORTH SHORE BOOTERY In the North Shore Hotel Building Evanston 6757 conventions had offered a slate of half dozen suitable candidates. "The logical time for holding a na- tion-wide primary is not before na- tional conventions are held but sub- sequently," he urged. The function of the primary should not be to elect delegates and seek to control their action by more or less futile instruc. tions or preferential votes. On the contrary, the sole function of the primary should be a far more import- ant one, namely, to make the final choice of presidential candidates from a list previously submitted by the na- tional convention. In other words, both national convention and pres- idential primary should be retained but their relations should be exactly reversed. "Under such an arrangement, the new role of the national convention would be restricted to drafting the party platform and to the election of not more than five or six names to be submitted to the party voters at the ensuing primary for final decision. The aspirant on this list who receives the highest vote in the primary will thereby become the presidential can- didate for the presidency; and the one receiving the next highest vote (unless he were already president or an ex- president) should be bound to accept the nomination for the vice pres- idency." 28 Trillion Electric Cells I LNT nn Winnetka Coal & Lumber Co. = EE rr ss ss: 1 LU EE EE EE ET TT LL MOO SALES and SERVICE Phone Evanston 10194 ATR > Dollars Saved "Clean ns the i LLARTR Sun's Heat" is, 4 ii afpear value 1125 tons of hard coal.
