Just four years ago, June 1913, 1895,
the last previous national Republican
convention met in st. Louis. that city
having been a successful bidder for the
honor. and nominated William McKin-
| ley of Ohio who received a majority on
the first ballot.
AS the most recent OF the national
| Republican conventions and as emil
nently typical of them all, the schedule
of the proceedings in st. Louis may be
taken as a precedent for what will
occur in Philadelphia. First of all,
there are the national and local organ
iZations. which are expected to work
together in harmony, though. as has
been said by an old stager. while or
ganization is the life of any political
party, the grandest feature of a ma
tional convention is that it runs itself.
Still there is a temporary chairman,

priceless gift as long as possible, for
then, said he, assuming that you have
loo applicants for the position. you still
have 100 friends; but after giving away
the office you have only one-that is the
postmaster" So il has been with the
selection OF city for convention hon
ors, and the fortunate recipient of po-
litical favor is envied by hundreds of
others that DO not draw the prize And
Yet this enviable distinction comes
rather high. FOR the original $1O0. coo to-
ward a building is only a beginning,
and the total expenditure will-probabIy
not fan Tar short OF $250o00. But what
is that when TO this city \as a focal
point will converge the most eminent
men in Republican politics. who viii
not come empty handed nor without the
wherewithal for providing lodging and
sustenance? Not only viii the thrifty
business men OF Philadelphia receive
back a goodly portion, If not all. Of
what they contributed, but they viii

Philadelphia, indeed. can boast a dis

in this city II years ago this month
June 1913. 1S55-thst the first national
Republican convention was held. and
the party may be said TO have then be-

and from his previous experience as as

other average citizen of the last cen
fury was when he took General Wash
ington's farewell of his army to be his
last appearance in the arena of public
affairs. With ali due respect for the
politicians, it may be stated as an ak
iom that no national convention can
exist and fulfill its proper functions
without a mighty attendant noise and
commotion. Another is that it must be
waited upon by the, best citizens Of the
city in which it is held. who are sup
posed to welcome with joy this self i'm

the knee before his highness the politi
