GOV. AYCoCK AND THE VICE
 pRESTnENCY

Governor Aycock of South Carolina Is a man of ability. He is a capital speaker and his voice has been raised often in behalf of Southern opinion on Southern questions His latest outglving, however, is queer. to say the least. In writing to one of his State newspapers declining the use of his name at St. Louis for the Democratic nomination for the Vice Presidency. he gives as his reason that no the ticket so long as there is any pros pect of winning the election. With such a prospect now, he would regard 1t as unfortunate and unwise to weight the ticket with a Southern candidate. If, however. there Is no prospect of sue cess. he thinks, 1t an admirable chance so to familiarize the country with the idea that the South contains genuine Presidential timber that we ought to put up a Southern man for the Vice-Presi- dency and though sure to be defeated, he would pave the way for more hospita- hIa and enthusiastic reception of Will Hams or Bailey or Aycock in 1908.
 Whoever before heard of a great con- vention deliberately putting up a man designing and expecting him to be knock ed down? The English have an express sion in their politics riding for a fall' and English statesmen often so ride. They do this. though, knowing that If defeated in the House of Commons, the ministry can appeal immediately to the country and take their chances of being returned with better working majority and secured in an indefinite hold upon power. They would get back if at all within four or six weeks. Governor Ay- cock. would have the Democratic Party in event 1t feels shaky in the knees at St. Louis. put out a ticket marked, not ito be voted for" but ito be defeated and then wait four years to reap the re- ward for this wonderful self-abnegatlon. There is 1t must be confessed much to be said to the effect this was actually done in 1900. The platform at least could then have been brought more into conformity with sound Democratic tradition and ideas: the convention realizing it had Bryan on it's hands concluded to ad- minister a full dose of Bryanism to the country. They wished once for all to prove to Mir. Bryan he couldn't run," have done with him and so gain an op- portunity to put up sensible ticket on a sensible platform in 1904.
