The Old Two-Thirds Rule.

A concerted movement to abolish
the two-thirds rule in presidential
nominations by the Democratic Ma
tional convention is suggested by
''Harper's Weekly" as impending in
the Southern States, 1t has been the
rule in Dem ocratic conventions for
seventy-two years. The reason put
forth is that the rule is no longer
needed under present political condi-
tons, and is harmful - that hereafter
nominations should be made by the
majority vote. 1t was originally estab-
lished to secure greater unahimlty in
making nominations and to give the
Southern States veto on a MAORI.
ty candidate. But for this rule Van
Buren, would have been nominated
and elected in 1874, instead of Mr..
Polk, and in that event he would not
have accepted the nomi alton for
President in I84S on the Free Soil
ticket. thus defeating Casc and elect
ing Taylor in that year. Later but for
the two thirds rule Stephen A. Doug
las would have been nominated for
President by the Democratsc National
convention in 1860, and the returns
show that he would have been eiec.
ed, thus defeating Abraham Lin.
coin and, for time at least, postpon-
ing the Civil War. But as it had to be
fought out, according to the logic O!
events, it is probably as we'll that the
great crisis was reached in 1860, rath.
er than four or eight years later. Lin
coin and Seward were in the right.
I he Union could not continue to ex-
ist half slave and half free. Democrats
fought against this idea, but the PEG.
pie North and South ordained it. I
is not in sight that the two-thirjs
rule will be required in 1924 to defea t
or nominate any probable candidate.
