Limitations Upon The Power Of The Legislature To Control Political Parties And Their Primaries, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Limitations Upon The Power Of The Legislature To Control Political Parties And Their Primaries, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Michigan Law Review
The convention system of nominating candidates for public office is, in a great degree, peculiar to the United States. England has in recent years borrowed in part our caucus, but as late as 1893, a writer in the American Law Regisieri says: "A nomination is made in the British dominions by a paper filed by one person and one or a very few seconders." Nor have we always had the convention system here. The first national nominating convention was held in Baltimore, by the anti- Masonic party, on September 26, 1831.

At no other time in the judicial history of this country, if the evidence of the reported cases is to be relied upon, have there been so many and so bitter contests over all of the questions growing out of the title to public offices, as during the last ten or twelve years. This is undoubtedly largely accounted for by the fact that within that period a large number of the states have put in operation radically changed methods of conducting elections, based upon or practically incorporating what is popularly known as the Australian ballot system.
