TLLKINSON GIL.

The death of Wilkinson Call revives
recollections of the period-not So far
distant as it seems-in which his influ-
ence had to be reckoned with in politics
and legislation He represented Florida
III the group Of able and aggressive
leaders sent to Washington by the South
after the work of reconstruction was
undOne IN order 10 prevent second
experiment at Teadjustment under fed
eraI auspices He had tried TO enter
the Senate in 1856, while reconstruction
was under way, but was not allowed 10
take q seat, the Southern States not
having up 10 that time complied with
the conditions laid down by Congress rs
prerequisites to q restoration Of repre-
Sentation il Congress He tried again

defeated in the Legislature by a cOali-
ton of Democrats, Republicans and In

cf his ambition in 1879 and remained q
Senator for eighteen years.
AIr Call lacked the larger quality of
leadership possessed by colleagues like
Hill. Lamar. Vance, Morgan and George,
but he contributed literally to maintain
the exceptional position as factor in
national affairs reached by the soliditicd
South between 1876 and 1896. His power
In his OWL state was not successfully

seventy wears. 1t has defects, but these
are incidental and can be corrected with
out interference on the part of Congress,
although Mr.. Cummins seems 10 beliefe
that action by Congress will be needeu
to overcome the most serious fault OF
the present system. that of lnequal1ty III
representation resulting from the Use "t
an unsatisfactory basis OF apportioh-
mept. In national conventions repre-
sentation has generally been distributed
among the states on the same basis as
representation in Congress, each state
being credited with twice as many dele
gates as Il has Senators and represent
ativeS It is the simplest possible
method of apportionment- But 1t does
not take into account the possibility OF
enormous discrepa pancies in party strength
in different states. resulting in the un-
Just underrepresentation of states in
which the party is strongest and the
dangerous misrepresentation of states
in which the party is weakest
IT ought to he the object Of q national
convention TO reflect the sentiment of
the voters of the party conducting IT..
Rut under the conditions which have
governed in national politics IN the last
three decades there has been no ap-
proach TO equality of representation in
national gatherings. In Republican
convention q delegate from New YORK
NAV represent thirty thousand Or thirty
five thousand Republican voters, while
delegate from Mississippi or South
Carolina may represent fewer than one
thousand Republican voters. Govern
ment of a party by q majority of its
members is impeded, if not actually de-
feated, under the present system.
The remedy is. CT course, a return to
the basic principle of majority rule.
Representation can be apportiOned more
equitably, and yet with liberality enough
to those states i'll which the party is
handicapped by adverse conditions, by
allowing two delegates for each Senator,
but making the representation Of each
Congress district proportiOnate to the
Republican vote cast at the last Presi-
Dental election. That plan has been
urged on two Republican national con-
ventiOnS. those of 1900 and 1908. In
1900 it was not voted upon, but in 1908
il received Al votes to 506 cast against
It, The forces in control of a cOnyen-
ton are naturally averse to altering an
apportionment under which they have
obtained control. But change cannot
be much longer postponed which is so
obviously in the interest of fair play i
freer expression of party sentiment and
greater responsibility in party govern
ment It would be better, however. to
let the change come naturally than to
try to force it by means Of federal legis-
lation.

the conclusion is inevitable that in many

thought when for the sake of increasing

DIRECT PRIMARIES AND BENNETT

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The bosses do the pre-convention
nominating and the delegates do the yot-
ing, and the bosses invariably win, for
there is only one nomination made. If,
however, q delegate should happen to have
the temerity to place another candidate
in nomination, woe to him! Upon him
shall fall the wrath and the scorn Of the
bosses He will never be sent to q con-
vention again He will be labelled Kicker
.'boIter,' ''sorehead'' and renegade" He
will be politically ostracised. This is. in
deed, a sad comment on an institution upon
which rests the pillars Of our Republic.
But this is an era of direct nomina ton.
The Republican party of this state is
pledged to direct nomination; the major
ity of the Republican Assem0lymen voted
for it. and 1t was beaten only with the aid
OF Democratic votes. A year ago when a
postal card canvass was made in this city.
il proved that 80 per cent of the voters
favored direct nominations
In viaw of these facts. it would seem
that the next Republican State Convention
ought to be an open one-one ct which the
delegates will he at liberty to voice the
sentiments of the people whom they rep
resent. II Il Republican is to succeed Mr..
Hughes he must not be a bosses man. for
il will be dangerous, At such Il time as
this when direct nominations" is the slo-
gan, he should be one whose candidacy
ernanates directly from the rank and file
and who has not participated in faCtional
strife He should be a progressive and an
aggressive man.
And is there a more logical candidate
than William s. Bennet? 1t was al a tes-
timcniaI dinner given 10 him that represent
atives from every corner of greater New
York spontaneously and directly launched
his candidacy. Thousands of voters have
signed a petition i'll his behalf -Four As
sembly district organizations have indorsed
him, and Lloyd {. GriscOm, chairman of
the county committee, has openly an

NOT THE RIGHT WAY.

Senator Cummins's suggestion OF q
nationwide primary for the choice Of
party candidates for President and Vice
President is manifestly impractcable.
Such a method Of nomination would not
harmonic with the federal scheme. We
have no national or federal elections in
the strict sense. since the only officers
nominally elected sby the nation-the
President and the Vice-PreSident-are
necessarily chosen through the medium
Of electors representing the states. Sen
ators are elected by states and Repre-
sentatives in Congress by districts ere
ated within state by its Legislature
Since there are nfnation-wide elections,
special machinery would have TO be de-
vised for conducting Il nationwide pri-
mary. It would be a waste OF time and
trouble to operate such machinery.
Moreover. the tendency of the times is
setting strongly toward following in
every nominating primary the method
which is to be followed III the election
itself.
The national party convention is logl-
cal because it is the counterpart OF the
Electoral College The nation elects
President and Vice-President through
the Joint action OF the states, each v0t-
ing separately. In IA national convention
the procedure is similar In itself the ma
