he can let out without detriment to the

VACANCIES ON THE TICKET.

Wv Ai1
The illness OF Congressman Sher-
nan, the nominee for the vice presi-
iency by the republican convention,
has developed the fact that nowhere
mas authority been specifically lodged
to fill any vacancy on the presidential
ticket. While the contingency of such
a vacancy prior to election is extremely
remote, still the question raised is of
more than academic interest.
The convention at Chicago provided
that vacancies in the national commit
tee should be filled by the respective
state committees and empowered the
national committee to fill vacancies
among it's own officers, but no author
ity was delegated to fill vacancies
among the nominees. By analogy
with political committees in states and
other subdivisions the national COM
mittee would have the authority to fill
any possible vacancy, being assumed
to be the plenary power of the party
from the time that the convention Ad-
iourns until a new convention is as
sembled.
1t has been suggested that the
proper way to solve the problem
would be to the delegates
who made the original nomination, but
that would be manifestly Impractical
BILE, If not impossible. inasmuch as the
names of the nominees do not go on
the ticket anywhere. need not be off,
cially certified to public Office and are
not voted for at any election.
The national committee, as the.
party's accredited representatives,
would undoubtedly assume to select
a successor to any presidential or vice
presidential candidate who might for
any reason drop out, although this Sc
lection would be merely in the form Of
a recommendation to the presidential
electors protesting the same party
faith. Its appointing force would be
morally the same as that Of the regu-
lar convention nomination and the
presidential electors would be under
the same obligation to cast their votes
for the men on the party ticket as they
are now

TIE TROUBLE IN PERSIA,

England, Russia and Germany are
doing sentinel duty just now on the
Persian gulf, most deeply concerned in
the conflict waging between The shah
and the Parliament over the form of
government for the country, and there
is a deep suspicion that some of the
powers are doing more to incite and
aggravate the differences between the
factions than they are to securing a
restoration of peace. Under the
treaties neither of the powers can take
part in a demonstration in force. In
%tervention must be joint and pacific.
On this ccoun the three big nations
are appearing in the role of onlookers,
each having the hope, however, OF Sc
curing new advantages in the readjust-
ment which must come in Persian af-
fairs. Russia and England already
have enclaves in Persia, and Germany
is seeking rights for the extension OF
the German railway from Constantine
! pie to Bagdad. So. whatever the re-
suit of the fight betweenthe shah and
his Parliament may be, the three next
best friends will not overlook an OPP
portunity to further their own inter
ests.
The conflict between the shah and
his Parliament has been waging fol-
two years and it is estimated that II
has already caused the loss Of 10000
lives. 1t arose from the shah's repudia
tion of his promise to support a con.
stitutional form of government which
he proclaimed. The shah is deter
mined, apparently, to re-establish {
despotism and the people are hghtinl
for their constitutional rights. 1t Il

New York Tribune rep.l

New York Tribune (rep).
II Mr.. Bryan is alive three weeks from
now he will be the nominee for president
OF the democratic party. His choice at
Denver on the first ballot is a certainty.
The Tribune has for months past fore
Swallowed this action, since in its judg-
ment Mr.. Bryan completely dominated the
democratic party, and efforts to sidetrack
him had no serious support among the
democratic masses. A week ago our record
Of the preferences of the delegates-elect
to Denver showed that the Nebraska
statesman had already a two-thirds ma
jority. He had then 66s votes. Last week
sixty delegates were elected from Colo
RADIO. Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee.
and. Mr.. Bryan got fifty-nine of them.
His present total is 727.
Sixty-four delegates are still to be chosen
from the four states of Georgia, North
Carolina, Vermont and Montana. Georgia's
delegation may be divided, but Montana
and North Carolina are likely to support
Mr.. Bryan. II we credit him with no
votes from Georgia Of Vermont we must
still run his total up to 757-a three-fourths
majority in the convention. The two other
declared candidates, Gray and Johnson,
have only thirty-three sure votes between
them. 1t would not be surprising If Mr..
Bryan's name were the only one presented
at Denver.

Democratic Press Tributes TO secre-
tary Taft.
Cbicaro Record-Heraid Ond. rep).

Chicago Record-Herald dnd. rep).
one OF the signs OF the times Is the re-
ception by the republican press OF the
appointment Of General Wright. an crst-
while democrat. southerner and former con.
federate soldier, as secretary Of war. No
surprise is expressed in any quarter. and
the comments Of the press refer exclusively
to the generals qualifications, his Philip
pine service. his knowledge OF the orient.
Another symptom may be found In the
democratic tributes to Secretary Taft as a
candidate for the presidency. II "opposi-
ton" praise Of Taft's character and ability
were confined to the uncompromisingly
anti-Bryan democratic press II would not
perhaps be SO significant. But papers that
ARE sure to support the Denver nominee,
papers who do not doubt that Bryan will
be that nominee and who are working
for him sincerely, are among those that
have bestowed the praise and tributes we
have alluded to. The Atlanta Constitution,
for example, says that It risks few con-
tradictions in stating that the dominant
element in the south will view Taft's nom-
nation 'as the wisest and most acceptable
choice that could nave been made by his
party so far as the interests Of the south
and the nation are concerned" The Balti-
more Sun says that all that the people
know Of Taft is to his credit and that he
has all the qualities which inspire respect
and confidence as between man and man."
The Philadelphia Record thinks the demo-
Gratis will win this year. but It admires
Taft as "a man of the highest character
and fine abilities
Intelligent men are now aware that It Is
possible to be fair though partisan. The
