CALHOUN'S PROPHECY.

John c. Calhoun made a speech
sixty-five years ago in the senate of
the United States the words of which
seem timely now and prophetic.
But few of the nations he said,
"have been so fortunate as to
adopt wise constitution, still fewer
have had the wisdom to preserve one.
1t is harder to preserve than to obtain
liberty"
Again he said: I'VE think we may
now indulge in everything with impu-
nifty, as if we held our charter by right
divine-from heaven itself Under
these impressions we plunge into war.
we contract heavy debts, we increase
the patronage of the executive, and
We talk of a crusade to force our insti-
buttons of liberty upon all people. There
is no species of extravaganza which our
people imagine will endanger their own
liberty in any degree. Sir, the hour is
approaching, the day of retribution win
come. 1t will come as certain as I am
now addressing the senate; and when
it does come awful will be the reckon
ing, heavy the responsibility some
where"

ious composition were held to recon-
mend candidates for president and vice
president. The result was the renOmi-
nation of John Quincy Adams by those
composing what was beginning to be
known as the National Republican
party, and the nomination of Andrew
Jackson by the Democratic party. Jack
son and Calhoun were elected in 1928.
National nomination conventions had
been for several years under discus
sion, having been proposed by differ
ent individuals and newspapers OPP
posed TO the congressional caucus; but
the difficulties in the way, together
with the lack of agreement on the part
of the people, had prevented a general
movement in favor of the plan. Now
some of the difficulties began to diSap-
pear as facilities for communication
between the states improved with the
improved roads and with the building
of railways. State party conventions
had gradually developed Importance
and efficacy, and the people were famil-
lar with their working.

The Republican candidate for con-
gress started his campaign by declar-
ing that he favored the senate gold
standard bill because he was a bimet-
allist. Then he tumbled to the fact
that he was making a spectacle of
himself and sought refuge in a denial
that the bill just passed by congress
established the gold standard. Declara-
tons Of his party leaders drove him
from this ridiculous position, and in
his desperation he has now thrown the
whole silver question overheard and
declares that We don't need bimetallism
anyway, because we have protection!

the general feeling, separated without
taking any action. The voting was by
common consent for the reelection of
Monroe and Tompkins, and no oppoS-
ing candidates appeared.
The popular dissatisfaction with the
congressional caucus was still gather
ing force throughout the country. Even
three years before the canvasses or
1924 the states began to anticipate the
action of the party representatives at
Washington by themselves recommend
ing candidates for the presidency.
South Carolina was first in the field.
Tennessee came next, bringing forward
the name of Andrew Jackson, and as
many as twelve states made nomina-
tions before the meeting of the ma
tional caucus. Nor was this all. Many
district and county conventions were
held for the same purpose; resolutions
were passed, committees appointed and
a strong determination vas manifested
TO supersede the Obnoxious machinery.

QUANTITY OF MONEY.

The local ex-champion of silver gals
attention frequently to the increased
output of gold. saying that bimetallism
is no longer desirable because the out
put of gold is equal to that of both
gold and silver ten years ago. This
may be true. But there wasn't enough
of both ten years ago to supply the
demands of trade. There is a heavier
demand now than there was ten years
ago. and one metal equal in output to
both at that time must bear the entire
burden now.
The local Republican organ has called
attention to the fact that Colorado's
production of gold last year was 3d.
100000 and of silver $13,OO0,OOe. and said
that bimetallism would only divide the
value of the gold output and double
that Of silver without benefiting the
volume of money in the least.
Governor Charles S. Thomas points
out that bimetallism would not only be
a blessing to the whole people, but
would help the gold producing state of
Colorado.
Last year" he says, Colorado pro-
duced $31, 600 900 in gold. That is money,
for it has access to the minis. She
produced $4,000 900 of silver; that is
not money, but a mere commodity. If
we could coin it with our gold we would
have added $44OO0.OOO instead of $31,-
100000 to the country's currency, But
we would have done more. We would
then have produced S0,000,000 of silver
instead of $13,OOO.OOO, and added more
than $50. 600, 900 to the national monetary
stock. We would have given employ
ment to 10000 additional miners, to
half ~ dozen more smelters and added
millions to the general business Of the
state Our railway freightage, our
commerce, our markets for farming
produce, our farming area would each
and all have been stimulated in pro-
portion"
There has been marked increase of
gold output in every silver producing
state. The Alaskan gold fields have
added to the volume of our metallic
money. This was unexpected. 1t was
accidental. It saved the country from
the stringency that otherwise would
have been inevitable. And it has
proved the contention Of bimetallists
that a constantly increasing quantity
of money is absolutely essential to the
transaction Of business and the pros
perity of the people.
But the natural increase of business
will outstrip the increase of gold pro-
duction. There never was time when
the golt. mines yielded enough money
metal for the transaction of the world S
business and there never will be. 1t is
none too much when the gold and silver
product is combined for this purpose.

president were made. The convention

adopted by the two great parties Inc
convention of the National RepuD-
licans, held in Baltimore in December
1881. was called by a caucus OF Ufie
members of that party in the Maryland
legislature. It is notable for the IdcI
that the opponents of the administra-
ton in the several states were invited
TO send TO it delegates equal in number
TO the presidential electors to when
their states were entitled, while the
suggestion was made that the delegates
be elected by congressional. districts:
This is now the almost universal
method, though for some time Va
riety of usage obtained, some states
choosing delegates in state conventions,
others by legislative caucus, others py
district conventions. The procedure OF
the Baltimore convention was, in many
particulars. much like that of ma
tional convention today. Eighteen
states and the District of Columbia sent
delegates. There was the temporary
organization, the examination or Gre
dentialS the permanent organization,
the address to the people setting forth
party principles and assailing Jackson,
the nominating speeches" and the
committee to notify those nominated
of the honor conferred. There was no
formal platform" adopted. Henry Clay
received the unanimous nomination for
the presidency. Before adjOurning, the
convention resolved that a central
state corresponding committee be pro
vislonally appointed in each state where
none is now appointed, and that it be
recommended to the several states TO
organize subordinate corresponding
committees in each county and town in
their several respective states"

that Of one fitted for the head Of the
government. Monroe received a ma
jority OF only eleven votes in the eau
Gus. The caucus had held it's place
hitherto in spite of abuses, and in the
face of adverse criticism, because 1t
had, after all, truly represented the
political sense of the people. 1t had
nomina ted the real leaders of the party.
But if it was to be able to bring for
ward for election men whom the rank
and file of the party did not wish for
president, men whom they had not
thought of at all in that connection.
then its usefulness would not only be
in question, it would be at an end. The
people took alarm, and the newspapers
voiced their uneasiness But the ma
tional satisfaction over the successful
termination Of the war and the unitv
of feeling which prevailed suspended
active hostilities. Nevertheless, when
the chairman of the last congressional
caucus, by virtue of his Office, called
new one in 1920, the call brought to-
gether only about fifty members of the
two houses, and they, in Difference to

EDUCATION IN UTAH.

There were two items in yesterdays
Herald that indicated a condition to
which every citizen of the state can
point with pride. One of these an
nounced that the taxpayers Of Payson
had voted a mill tax for three years
for the purpose of. erecting a high school
building, to cost $4,000. The other item
was a special from Brigham City, stat
ing that the public-spirited citizens Of
that place had voted mill tax and
authorized an issue Of bonds to the
amount of $4,000 for the purpose of
erecting a school building that will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000.
It is high tribute to the enterprise,
intelligence and progressive spirit of
these two towns that they should erect
such costly school buildings. but the
gratifying and important fact is that
these are not exceptional or unusual
cases. They merely illustrate a gen.
eraI condition throughout the whole
state. Never in the history of Utah
has such an interest been shown in the
cause OF education. Never have the
people contributed so generously to the
free education of the youth of the COM
monwealth. The state is expending
5000. 900 on new university, that is
destined to become the leading institu-
ton of learning in the intemountain
west. Everywhere throughout Utah
magnificent and costly school buildings
are springing up. The little town of ST.
George is erecting a $4,000 building.
Murray has just dedicated a $4,000
structure. and Fillmore's $4,000 build
ing has recently been completed. 1t is
the same in every section. IN almost
every town and hamlet in Utah the
people are spending large sums for the
free education of the rising and futupH
generations. Such work by communh
ties of eqral population and resources
in the more populous east would be
regarded as marvellous.
All Of these expenditures entail a
heavy burden upon the people. They
are taxing themselves as they have
never been taxed before. that their
children may enjoy the fullest blessings
that flow from the American school
system. But they could make no better
investment. Aside from the higher ben
efits to community and state, the de-
yeIopment, growth and advancement

spect. Crawford, as the caucus candi-
date. received in the electoral college
but forty-one of the 261 votes cast. The
votes were divided among four pres
idential nominees-John Quincy Adams,
William H. Crawford, Henry Clay and
Andrew Jackson-and, no choice having
been made by the electors, the decision
again devolVed upon the house Of rep
reeentatives. Jackson was plainly the
popular choice, and had received plu-
rality of the electoral vote, but the
balloting in the house by states (ac
cording to the rules adopted in 1S01),
gave thirteen states to Adams, seven to
Jackson and four to Crawford: while
Clay, standing fourth on the list of
candidates, was ineligible. John G. Cal
hOun had received a large majority Of
the electoral votes for vice president.
The Convention.
According to Professor Alexander
Johnston, il is to Tammany Hall that
we owe the first suggestion of a nomi-
mating convention, and that so long ago
as the year 1913, when such an organ
was proposed for nominating a Demo-
cratic candidate for governor of New
York. Though nothing came Of it for
that year. the idea was soon revived,
and ere long the nominating conven-
ton became, as we shall see, a promi-
nent feature in state politics through
out the Union.
The old congressional caucus, as has
been. shown, had come TO an inglorious
end in 1924, and nothing had been
agreed upon as a substitute. 1t was
felt that for the next election unusual
effort must be made TO secure an ex-
preston of the real sentiment of the
people. In 1925 the state legislature of
Tennessee formally nominated Andrew
Jackson for president, and during the
three following years innumerable state
conventions, legislative caucuses, coun-
ty, district and town meetings of var
