THE POWER OF LEADERS

There need be no fear IL Mr..
Bryan Is defeated for the nomina-
ton, but that he will give hearty
SUPPORT to whoever Is the Demo-
|cratfc Standard bearer. That he
might not be able to control all
his followers Is quite likely as no
leader ever can. He could not get
them to vote for Judge Parker IN
1904, and There are these VINO be-
lieve THAT he did not try very hard
TO do so. Mr.. Bryan was too smart
a politician to work very hard for
losing cause, and his eye was
fixed on the future. He made
speeches for Judge Parker. but as
the results shows did not make
votes for him. He could not persuade
many Of his friends amongst the
Democrats of Missouri and Indiana
TO take enough interest In the
election to go to the polls. This
and the desire to win now leads
so many Democrats to wish some
other candidate nominated. for they
fear Mr.. Bryan has too many enc
mics to achieve success. The num-
erous States that have already de-
termined on uninstructed delegates
means that over one-third of the
convention will prevent the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Bryan. and that the
majority OF the Democrats of
those States desdre free and full
conference with ether States before
deciding ON the candidate. Mr..
Bryan was defeated In trying TO
control the convention in 1904, and
q great part of his lead and vote
for the nominee.

nHE TWO-THIRlDS RIFLE


When the first National Conven-
tion of the Democratic party. as.
sembled In 1882. 1t adopted the rule
that two thirds of the votes cast
should be required to nominate a
candidate for THE Presidency. or
vice Presidency; and every National
Convention held since that time
has been governed by that rule.
The object of the rule is to protect
a respectable minority amounting
to one-third of the membership of
the convention, against the domi-
nation of a majority of less than
two-thirds. and thereby 10 insure
greater harmony, and prevent the
disruption of the party.
AT this time, however. IL Is said
a move will be made In favor OF
|abrogating the two thirds rule. and
selecting by a bare majority vote.
The rule was made according to
john Sharp Williams, the able
Democratic leader of the House of
Representatives, for the protection
OF the South. and MIR. Williams in
'sists that DIT should be retained.
Most Southern Democrats take the
same view, though ardent friends
Iof Mr.. Bryan are said to favor its
abolition. but they are mostly con
fined to the Western States. 1t is
noticeable that no Democrat OF
prominence In amy State on the
Atlantic seabosrd has so far ad-
vocated the selection OF candidates
by "a bare majority vote. IL the
two thirds rule had been rescinded
In 1896, the revolt OF the gold
Democrats would have been much
more serious. The rule was orIgi-
rated by Martin Van Buren, before
This election as President to prevent
a large dissatisfied minority, for
II was considered that less than
one-third would have no hope of
successfully bohing nominations
made by such a large majority as
two-thirds. To reScind the rule in
the Interest of amy particular can
dldate would be likely TO bring dis
aster. The polite time for such a
hange would be when no serious
contest for nomination is pending.
No one questions the right of the
majority of a convention to make
it5 own rules, even to entirely dis
regarding all former precedentS. The
question to be decided Is, what is
the best policy?
