THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

After one of the most strenuous
and bitterly contested convention
battles in its history the Democratic
party has named Woodrow Wilson
as its candidate for president and
Governor Marshall of Indiana as its
candidate for vice-president. This
result was not obtained by any vol
untary combination of interests, nor
by any agreement of leaders, nor by
any consensus of opinion that Gov.
Wilson would make the strongest
candidate. Nor was there any stam-
pede toward him in the convention.
on the final ballot did so feeling as
bitterly opposed to him as they were
on the first. 1t was simply a ques-
tion of physical endurance. Nerves
and bodies had reached the breaking
point. The eighth day of the con-
vention had dawned with the battle
as fierce and the feeling as tense as
ever. There was no dark horse in
sight. Wilson was the only candi-
date before the convention on whom
enough votes could possibly be CEN
tered to make an early nomination.
Tired, disheartened, disgusted dele
gates yielded to the imperative de-
mand of their exhausted bodies for
relief and release and rest, and nam
ed Wilson on the forty-siXth ballot.
And yet the Democratic party has in
its time put up worse candidates for
the presidency. Woodrow Wilson
Che dropped his middle name of
Thomas some years ago. is fifty-siX
years Of age, a Virginian by birth,
married to a native of Georgia. He
has spent a large part of his life be-
low Mason and DiXon's line. He has
lectured and written several books on
political science, economy and his
tory, his best known work being "A
History of the American People,"
He has been a college professor and
was president of Princeton University

years he plunged for the first time
into politics and was elected Cover
nor Of New Jersey During his in
cumbency of the presidential chair
at Princeton he succeeded in diyid-
ing that staid and ancient university,
trustees, faculty and alumni, into
two hostile camps. Within the last
two years he has done the same
thing TO the Democratic party. With
the aid of William j. Bryan the
split has, within the last week, be-
come wide and irreparable. Bryan
himself, hoping against hope that
the nomination might fall to him
as the only dark horse available,
will not be found among Wilson's
most enthusiastic supporters.
The Democratic candidate has
never been a member of either house
of Congress, nor OF either branch of
any state legislature. A student of
the science of government, he is but
a novice in practical politics. His
has not been the kind of experience
to fit him for the position to which
he aspires. He will know more
about politics when his campaign has
ended, and Ryan and. Murphy and
Belmont, sit chuckling over the de-
feat of one whom they consider an
upstart in politics, and an unknown
quantity in a certain kind of state
craft. In the meantime these
doughty warriors, eoncealing long
sharp knives up their sleeves, have
gone home to

THE INTEGRITY OF THE CHI.
CAGO CONVENTION.

The regularity of the proceedings
OF the convention at Chicago has
been unjustly attacked, and the
undue noise of the attack has large
ly drowned out the voices of pro-
test in its favor. 1t is time that the
allegations of fraud" and theft
and robbery" so freely and loudly
made were shown to be merely the
excited expressions of violent par
tisans smarting under the knowl-
ter OF fact, the convention was con-
Quoted in strict accordance with the
party rules and usages, with the
rules of parliamentary procedure,
and with all the fairness and good
judgment that any calm and reason
able-minded man could desire. 1t
was the duty of the national COM
mittee to make up the prima facie
roll of delegates entitled to seats in
the convention. No other body had
that power, and until that roll was
organize. But it is complained that
this committee, chosen as far
back as 1908, was made up largely
of Taft adherents, and that in the
great bulk OF the contests before it,
seats were awarded to the Taft
claimants. 1t must be remembered
that by far the greater part of these
contests were brought by the Roose-
welt forces, and that the most of
these were frankly conceded by
those who brought them to be
entirely without merit. AS to those
which were genuinely inaugurated
and sincerely urged, it cannot be
said that they did not receive full
consideration by the committee. If
they were dismissed it must be as
sumed that in the judgment of the
committo made up as it was Of
men of splendid ability and reputa-
ton, leaders of their party in their
several states, the contests were
mistakenly or inadvertently brought
1t is no new thing for a defeated
litigent to charge the court and jury
with unfairness and prejudice
Nevertheless the roll of delegates
made up by this committee, as en-
titled 10 participate in the organi-
Zation of the convention, was the
duly authorized and lawful roll.
These delegates had a right to
their seats. They had a right to
participate in the election of their
temporary chairman. They had a
lawful voice in the selection of the
committee on credentials which
should pass on their qualifications as
members of that convention, and
they exercised that right. But the
most bitter complaint is over the
fact that the delegates thus seated
were permitted to vote on the report
of the credentials committee in the
cases of all contested seats but
their own. And yet it is difficult to
see how the matter could have been
fairly and lawfully treated in any
other way. Had only those holding
uncontested seats been permitted to
vote, the great advantage would
have been with the Roosevelt forces
from the start, for their seats had
been for the most part uncontested,
while the seats of the Taft delegates
had been contested in great num-
bers. Had the Taft forces contest
ed an equal number OF seats, and
the voting power been confined to
uncontested seats. a mere handful of
delegates would have organized the
