Convention-crises arise In the life Of
nations which endanger their institn-
lions and, at times. imperil the adj
vance OF civilization.
EVERY people that has left Its i'm
press upon history has faced such
crises.
"In most instances. whore grave
dangers have threatened the safety of
the state, some great character. some
master mind, has been found. produced
as II were by the conditions them
selves, with capacity to direct Alright
the energies of the people. This was
true of the ancient world; II has been

sneers as being socialistic and demo
cratic. and the convention by a vote OF
