DEMOCRATIC Two-THIRDs RULE

To understand the significance of tbs
Bryanite suggestion that the historic
democratic two-thirds rule in nomi-
mating a presidential ticket should be
abolished it IS necessary 10 understand
the object of this rule. Each state
delegation in a democratic national
convention may vote as a unit if the
majority of the delegation so elects,
and no national convention permi is
the vote of a state delegation to be di-
v;ded except under this condition. I'm
der a majority rule, however, this Gus
tom might open the way to eOmbina-
ton by which a presidential candidate
would be named by states which he
had little or no chance of carrying. All
that would be required is that the ma
jority of each delegation to the COM
bination should refuse to sanction
divided vCte. Thus a few states in
which the democrats are in the MI
nority would have power 10 dictate the
democratic presidential ticket.
In order to do away with POSSIBLE
ity of this kind, and at the same time
preserve the state unit system where it
was desired. the two-thirds rule n Sc
1ecting nominees for president and
vice president was invented. The OBJ
jet was 10 secure nominees that would
be fairly representative CT democratic
sentiment n more than enc section Of
the country, and, given the state unit
system Of voting in national conven-
ton. perhaps The scneme IS as practi-
cable one for its purpose as could be
Aissd. This rule. however, some OF

Bless your poor old soul, there's moth

the chief Bryan leaders are now eager
to overthrow, and their motive there
for is obvious. They fear that under
It the delegates from states like New
York. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey may be able to defeat the. re-
nomination of Bryan, whereas by sub
stitution of majority rule, together
with strict enforcement of the unit
rule among delegates from other
states, this result may be prevented.
Nearly all Of the northern and west
ern states are now republican and they
are likely to remain republican; yet
without the support of many OF these
states-and in all of them there is
more or less question among demo-
Gratis of the exped:ency of renominat-
ing Bryan-these leaders perceive that
the Nebraska politician may fall far
short of the necessary two-thirds vote.
Hence their sudden affection for the
majority principle. 1t IS evidently the
refuge of desperation.
No other explanation meets the case.
L -~--NN
changed on nearly every great ques-
ton that has been before the country
for the last sixty years. but on the sub
ject Of maintaining the two-thfrds rule
it has never wavered. A few feeble
attempts have been made to abolish it,
but they were overwhelmingly defeat
ed. Even the factions into which the
famous Charleston convention split
adhered to it when later each put
democratic presidential ticket in the
field The south was in a revolution
ary temper at that time, but not to the
extent of destroying this historic rule.
1t remains to he seen whether the
Bryan democrats, who have made
shipwreck of so many democratic ira
ditions and presidents, will round out
their work by abolishing nearly the
last democratic practice that has come
down from the days of Jackson.

BAD WORK OF GooDY-GooDIEs.

Captain Nehemiah Mayo Dyer, Of
the cruiser Baltimore, adds his testi-
mony to the Overwhelming mass that
has been gathered to prove how the
| efforts of certain Americans have
helped AguinaIdo and the Filipinos in
thoGr resistance to the authority of the
United States. Captain Dyer served
with distinction under Dewey in the
battle Of Manila He has returned 20
his home in Massac husetts to recuper-
ate from the strain of his service and
residence on the Asiatic station. Like
most naval men, he is not much given
to talking, but when he does talk his
statements are straight and to the
point. They are, moreover, entitled to
full belief, and il must BE- presumed
that when he talks about the situation
in the Philippines he knows what he
wants to say and how to say it. If
any further confirmation were needed
of the oft repeated charge that the
cause of Aguin3ldO has derived is
greatest strength from the aid given
by the so-called anti-expans:o nists-a
charge made within the last few days
by Mr.. Barrett. former United States
minister to Spain, AMI by General
turned from the scene of the lighting

sation of Captain Dyer. IN an inter-
view given out soon after his arrival
home, Captain Oyer Sid: 1T IS only
matter of time when the whole
question will be settled. 1t would
have been settled long ago had it not
been for your Boston g0ody-goodies.
cannot speak of it with patienceI /
have no patience-no true American
can have patience-with these same
goody-goodies, the little group of
self-suficient men who think them
selves qualified to criticise everything
in creation. Had they not given aid
and comfort to the enemy-yes, that's
exactly what l medn, aid and comfort
to the enemy-there would be peace in
Luzon today"
That is a fact perfectly apparent now
to every American. Under the guise
of sham interest in liberty, The
goodyl-gOod5es have persuaded the
Filipino that the sympathy of large
and powerful portion of the American
people is with them in their rebellion.
The Filipinos have been quick to see
their opportunity and have taken adj
vantage of it. Not they. but the anti
imperialists, are responsible for the
frightful havoc which this treacherOus
misrepresent of American senti-
ment has created among our soldiers
in the far east. THE goody-goodies."
declares Captain Dyer. .'have cOs5 the
United States hundreds of lives and
millions of money. Had il not been
for the aid and comfort given them by
the goody-goodies the FiIipinos would
long ago have submitted" That is a
terrible accusation to make against any
American. but it doesn't begin 20 fit

gooCies are guilty.-New York Sun.
