THE SOUTH AND THE
PRESIDENCY.
Jacksonville Times-Union.

|. For forty years the feeling that a
large number of the people of the
United States would be Influenced by
sectional prejudice has kept the South
from claiming her share of the hon
ors from Democratic conventions. Sup
position has changed to certainty, and
now the fact that a large number or
the people of the United States are
influenced by sectional prejudice
should cause the South to step to the
front and take the lead.
In 1912 the democratic party should
nominate a southern man for president
in order to escape defeat due to me
prejudice that exists between the
east and the west. No eastern man
can get the full party support in
western states; no western man can
get 1t in eastern states; and worse
still for the chances of the Democratic
nominee is the fact that the western
sentiment is supported by many east
ern Democrats and the eastern senti-
ment by many Democrats in the west
If a western Democrat were nomi-
mated at the insistence of the east
the fact of his eastern support would
drive from him many western Demo

support an eastern democrat nominal
ed to please the west
The feeling of antagonism that now
exists between the east and the west
does not exist TO as great an extent if
at all between either the east or the
west and the south. The old section
alism has died away. The men who
participated in the war have nearly
all passed the age at which men are
considered available for a presiden-
tial race. Since the advent of the
twentieth century neither of the great
parties has nominated for the presi-
dency a man old enough to have
fought in the war between the states.
BY 1912 it will have been twenty
years since the Democrats nominated
a candidate old enough to have fought
in the sixties and with one exception
twenty years since the republicans
nominated one old enough. By 1912
the sixteen-year-old boy who went
into the army just in time to be mus
