IA a tenet In the Democratic creed.
and under II the party IS as much I'M
der obligation to reHpect majority
OF one as a majority Of 100 u can be
pointed out too. that the most serious
division that ever occurred IN the
Democratic party OF this state followed
the nominations BY more than two
thirds majority.
Perhaps the strongest argument
against two-thirds rule Is that II
30 often thwarts the viii OF the people,
instead Of carrying It out Where
three or four candidates for an office
are fairly matched It IS impossible for
one OF them to get twice as many
votes as all the others, aud the result
Is locked convention, the outcome
being that some unknown person ~
taken up as a compromise candidate
and nominatod---a man with whom the
people had no acquaintance. whose
merits had never been passed upon
by them. and who, II he had submitted
his claims to the popular vote, as his
competitors aid. might have been the
weakest candidate OF oil.
These are few Of the most patent
arguments for and against the two
thirds rule that It IS now proposed to
set aside. Tho Democrats who viii
soon be called upon to settle this ques-
ton can begin to consider It now, and
have their minds made up by the time
