WFAHE ceremonies connected with
 notifying candidates for presI- + deut and vice president of
 their nomination for these of Aces have led to a good many jokes and funny paragraphs on the subject Why such elaborate preparations to in- form a candidate for high office of fact of which he Is already well aware? Why go through the form of telling man in sonorous sentences and long winded speeches weeks after it hap pened something which he got news of by telephone or telegraph wire the mo- ment after 1t transplrcd?
 Judge Taft travelled hundreds of niles, from Hot Springs, Va, to Gin. cinnati. to be notified that he had been nominated for president by the Republican party. He did not make such long trip to learn what had oc' cured in the Coliseum at Chicago a month before. but, rather, to meet in a suitable place the official bearers of the intelligence and take advantage of the occasion to make speech of accept ance expressing his views on the is. sues of the campaign. Congressman James S. Sherman was nominated for vice president by the Republicans on June 10. but he did not learn of 1t om clally until Aug. IS, nearly two months later MT. Bryan was notified on Aug l2, over a month after his nomination occurred. and Aug. 25 was set as the date for informing John W. Kern of the honors awarded hIm early la July wGen he was given second place on the ticket Mcssrs. sherman and Kern were both present as delegates at the conventions which nominated them for the vice presidential office, and 1t did not bother either to wait a few weeks before receiving official intelligence of the action of his fellow partisans,
 or course the notification custom luds its origin in days when there
