THE ROTTEN-BOROUdH STATES.

NMT1THoUT the lao delegates from seven Southern States
WY Taft would not be a candidate at Chicago. These
t States are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Lou
isiana, Mississippi and South Carolina. And what Republican
strength is represented by these 140 delegates, who comprise
more than a fourth Of the majority of the convention? Just 1872
SOP of the 1915 votes that Taft polled in the country four
years ago, or about Q per cent. These States that gave him one.
fftieth of his popular vote and no electoral vote, and that cannot
give him one, are depended upon to make his denomination. Only
one of these States, Arkansas, poned more Republican votes in
1908 than the county of Essex. Arkansas gave Taft $3.50 and
Essex county gave him 1851. And Arkansas sends eighteen dele.
gates TO Chicago. Mississippi, with 1868 votes in 1908, is ex-
pected to answer the rollcall at Chicago with twenty delegates.
and South Carolina, with 1868, comes up with eighteen dele
gates. Georgia, which had 41692 votes in 1908, will exactly
balance New Jerseys twenty eight delegates, and New Jersey
gave 285,236 votes to the Republican presidential ticket four
years ago! The comparison might be extended much further,
but enough has been given to show the outrageous defiance of
the party will that prevails in the, rotten system Of basing rep.
resentation to national conventions upon congressional districts,
so that the overwhelming Democratic strength of a State like
Louisiana or Mississippi is actually used in a Republican con-
gention to offset the Republcanism of the States that must
furnish the electoral votes for the nominee. In every Republican
convention for the past sixteen years there has been talk of
doing away with this monstrous wrong and providing a fair
method. This year should end this political iniquity.

THE UcE-pREslDENTxAL NOMINATION.

TT TT ARDLY a word is said about the yicepresidentiaI nomi.
mi nation. The Vice-President is officially not much more
than a fgurehead, but the Office has potential possibni-
ties. Presidents are mortal, and the death or removal of a Presi-
dent means the induction of the Vice-President into the White
House. One reason why the people have desired to see Taft
serve out hi. term of Office is that if a vacancy was created Vice,
President Sherman would become President. Chester A. Arthur.
q New York political leader, in 1880 was nominated for Vice.
President on the ticket with Garfield, who was assassinated on
July 2, 1881, and died at Elberon September 10. Arthur made a
most creditable President during his term of three years, FIVE
months and fifteen days. But he was of a different type from
sherman and his style of policies were not of the same order.
There was no faint on his moral skirts. The Importance of the
vice presidential Office has become more impressed on the minds
of the people, and after the smoke of the presidential conflict
passes away the two conventions will be brought to soberly con
slider the question of candidates., none of which is as yet clearly
defined. The nomination should not be regarded as a consolation
cup for the beaten faction in a convention, as it has been, but as
of almost equal dignity to that of President and calling for a
candidate of presidential calibre.

A Roosevelt TAN WARNING.

y III outlook article today Roosevelt declares that the men
IL "ho' on penaf OF Mr.. Taft, are engaged in the effort to
perpetrate the gravest wrong upon the Republican party"
nav u cram 10 loyalty from Republicans and that it is the
oounden duty OF the party voters to repudiate these men and
action. The Interpretation to be placed on these words is
II the nomination should be forced by the national commit
ee' mt majority OF which are without any political standing,
n1teen II them having been defeated and repudiated in their own
STATES and fourteen representing nothing, the duty of the Re.
puohcan voter VIII be to repudiate the candidate they nominate.
Roosevelt plainly in words fixes upon Taft direct completely in
q WORK o the national committee majority. He fails to see
how any man of honor could consent to profit by the trickery in
Unlo AFTER ne had been beaten by an immense majority in the
election in the State. Probably this protest is the last that
Roosevelt will make from New York. A man of action. he NAV

OUR OLYMPIAN CHAMPIONS.

eTaHE American team of $50 men selected to represent the
United States in the Olympic games at Stockholm next
month have been carefully sifted out of nearly a thousand
athletes who hard proven their mettle in the severe competitive
trials. The selections by the committee in New York yesterday
represent the flower of American athletes. Accompanying these
men to Stockholm there will be athletes of almost equal prowess,
who are in a supplementary list and can act as substitutes or en-.
rage in other competitions. In short, America will be better rep.
resented in the Olympian games this year than ever before, and
In all previous world games American athletes bore off the chief
honors. There will also go to Stockholm a rifle team to repeat
the triumphs of previous years, and riders who will display the
quality of American horsemanship. The 0lympian games of
1912 will show anew the superior quality of American physical
manhood
