The Clamorous Convention Galleries.

Reports describing the convention pro-
ceedings at Baltimore tell OF hours of
demonstrations in favor Of various can
didates or possible candidates for the
presidential nomination. This is an old
story, as old as the holding of nominat-
ing conventions. 1t is the result of ad-
mittipg to the proceedings thousands of
spectators and partisans who have no
business whatever at the meetings. and
whose function IL solely that of inter-
ruption and delay. These noisy manifes-
tations OF favor for particular candidates
are thoroughly discounted They are
purely mechanical at the start, and while.
perhaps. for q short time they may sway
men from their allegiance, the net result
is solely one of exhaustion and time con-
sumption. At Baltimore for every Yell
emitted by a Clark boomer there was
screech by Wilson man or an Under
woodite. For every banner waved by
Harmonian there was q concerted cheer
By a squad of Missouri men. Whatever
was done by one faction was Offset by
another. 1t IL reported that the Wilson
demonstration in the course Of the nomi-
mating speeches exceeded that for Clark
BY several minutes. and yet when the
frst vote was taken the Clark strength

We do this to effect immediate

Some Statesmen and Their Doings.

IL their sense of humor Is not strictly
partisan, those who enjoyed Finn Of
Pennsylvania, Heney OF somewhere on
the Pacific coast, Dynamite Ed Of Okla
homa, and others. in the role OF states
men at Chicago should not miss Murphy
OF New York, Taggart OF Indiana, and
Sullivan of Illinois In the same role at
Baltimore.
Mr. Finn is a product OF Pittsburgh-a
parochial boss. without grasp Of national
matters. But he Is down on the bosses.
and wants the species externainated. He
was the very man for the howl that Mr.
Roosevelt had raised and was promoting
Mr. Heney, once q democrat. now a re-
publican, at all times q spectacular man,
fond OF the limelight and full Of strong
language. was the very person for the as
signment he accepted at the convention.
Safeguarding the national committee to
its face called for a gutter vocabulary
and q phenomenal cheek, and he had
both. He played for martyrdom. but
failed. Warned of his real object, the
committee quietly decided not to kick him
out.
Dynamite Ed had his mouth with him,
and his slogan was Eat 'em alive"
which he emitted In all tones. from a
shrek to hoarse cry.
And yet great issues were under discus
sion. Taxation. currency reform and the
protection Of the courts from curbstone
interference were among them.

1t Is votes that tell in nominating con-
vention, not voices. A few score OF dol
lars judiciously spent will insure the
presence in a convention hall Of enough
loud-lunged rooters to dominate the situa-
ton for an hour Of cheering. They can
be aided by all sorts of mechanical de-
vices, rattles, gongs and even, as at Bal
timore, electric automobile screechers,
But the men on the floor, charged with
certain instructions or determined on
their own authority to cast their ballots

enced by these obviously artificial clam
ors It is not always the best vote getter
in q presidential campaign whose man
ayers pack the galleries Of a convention
hall with shouters of longest endurance.
Furthermore, In almost every instance the
nomination results from combinations
framed by leaders in the privacy of COM
mittee rooms and hotel chambers, far
from the clamor of the demonstrators and
the music Of the bands.
Our nominating conventions are re-
garded as interesting spectacles, but 1t
must be confessed that they are not
gratifying to the American sense OF dig
nifty. They impress foreigners viewing
them for the first time rather unfavor-
ably, and with good reason. 1t surely Is
not an impressive evidence Of the ca
pacity of people for self-government to
witness them assembled in the presence
Of formally chosen representatives and
engaging in shrieks and yells and frantic
gymnastics and all forms of noise-pro-
ducing inventions while engaged In the
process Of selecting the men for whom
their votes are to be cast for the highest
Offices Perhaps the chief political parties
will some day recognize the folly OF this
mode Of choosing candidates and hold the
meetings Of the nominating delegates In

From the Boston Transcript.

rom tue BOSTON transcript.
1t Is always in order to protest against
the universal practice of allowing q great
body of loOkers-on to outnumber the dele
gates MANIFOLD in all our national polit-
ical conventions. The fact that protests
appear to have no effect is all the more
reason for continuance in the effort to
do away with one Of the greatest evils
of our whole system Of party govern
ment. Up TO the present time the record
for disorder and confusion attendant upon
a political convention is held by the dem
ocratic convention Of 1892, in Chicago.
No one whose fortune 1t was to attend
that terrible all-night session In the Wig
wan on the lake front in which Cleve-
land was renominated can ever forget
the experience. To the wearying course
OF the business in hand was added actual
physical danger from the crowdinR Of
delegates and spectators in almost hope
less confusion and the breaking of elec-
trio wires and plunging of the whole tur-
bulent mass into utter darkness at a
critical point in the proceedings.

Mr.. Ryan Again Wins.

Surely Mr. Bryan will not ask the
country to accept as triumph for him
the vote at Baltimore last night on his
resolution against 1.-The privilege-hunting
and favor-seeking class" Why. even Mr.
Ryan and Mr.. Belmont. whom he had
named as illustrating its meaning, voted
for It. The half vote against 1t from Viz
ginia was cast, 1t was expressly stated.
by a delegate of the name Of Tunstall
Mr. Ryan stood like adamant against
"the privilege-hunting and favor-seeking
class"
And SO. also, stood August Belmont.
When New York was called. Charles F.
Murphy, in firm and patriotic tones. hay
ing the interests Of the plain people dear
" to heart, pumped the whole ninety
votes Of that state In favor Of Mr..
Bryan's drive at Wall street.
1t was easy. Catch a couple of men as
wise and as thoroughly in the know as
Mr. Ryan and Mr.. Belmont voting openly
for privilege? Not much. That is not the
way they and their associates do busi-
ness. All of Mr.. Bryan's power Of dec
lamation could not force them into such
a blunder. When 1t comes to professions.
they can dedicate themselves to the in
terests of all the people as readily,
though not so eloquently, as Mr.. Bryan
himself.
Instead of being tripped by him. they
tripped him. He did not dare press the
paragraph of his resolution calling for
their expulsion as delegates. He soon
discovered that he would have to retreat
on the very essence Of his proposition;
and he stopped in order to save the poor
appearance Of conquering. But he stopped
in vain. With Mr.. Ryan and Mr.. Bel
mont still holding the fort and support
ing his emasculated proposition. the real
triumph was with them rather than with
him. Special privilege kept its seat In the
convention.
There IL room for argument az to the
wisdom of the appearance Of Mr.. Ryan
and Mr.. Belmont in the convention as
delegates. 1t might have been better for
their game had they remained at home
both reside in New York-and left the
management Of things to their friends
and agents. Mr.. Murphy Is a trained
servant, and Mr.. Ryan's Virginia friends
could have obeyed directions issued from
behind the curtain.
But the eye Of the boss is most valu-
able. Mr.. Ryan and Mr.. Belmont prob
ably thought it safe to chance it. and
show themselves. Faint heart never won
fair lady. And Miss Democracy has been
looking very fair of late. So they de-
cided to go to the convention. and by
their presence hearten their spokesmen.

No Cause for Alarm.

Representative Fitzgerald, chairman OF
the House committee on appropriations.
gives positive assurance that joint reso-
luton will be passed by Congress Mon
day continuing existing appropriations
until supplanted by new enactments Tor
the fiscal year OF 1928. He urges all
who are connected with the government
to rest calmly in the confident assurance
that there will be no hiatus In the provi-
sion Of funds for the transaction OF the
public business, attributing the failure to
pass the fund-guaranteeing resolution
earlier to the agreement preventing the
transaction Of business by the Senate
during the current week. There should
be no complications over this matter II
Congress will pass and the President Will
sign the Joint resolution Monday. Tech
nically speaking there will be lapse of
q few hours between the close of the old
fiscal year and the authorization OF funds
for the new, but the resolution continuing
the old appropriations can be framed In
such terms as to cover the brief interven-
ing period. It is reported that some Of
the departmental officials are seriously
anxious that 1t may be impossible to start
the work Monday morning In view of the
the rendering Of any service for which
funds have not been voted by Congress.
In this emergency there should be no
hesitation whatsoever on the score OF
such q lapse Of the law. Congress, Of
course. will not penalize any clerk or
superior official for seeing that the gov
ernment work Is done in good order In
circumstances for which 1t alone is re-
sponsible. 1t might be safely assumed
that IL through some extraordinary block
ade the appropriations were all delayed
for week or more, every penny due to
those working meanwhile would eventu-
Ally be paid on the passage Of the ap-
preparation acts.
It is In order. therefore, for all the en-
ployes Of the government who are af-
fected by the present situation to go
ahead with the work in hand steadily and
confidently. trusting implicitly to Con-
gress to pass the necessary joint resolu-
there could be no doubt as to the full
payment Of everybody for every service
rendered from the close Of the expiring
fiscal year. This il q case where common
sense dictates calmness and faith In the
proper performance Of its duty by the
federal legislature. To show signs Of ap-
prehension is to question the honorable
intention Of those charged with the busi-
ness Of national lawmaking to set the
government on Its feet financially in am
pie season Monday.

and Mr.. Sullivan 50 free in action as q
politician that Mr.. Bryan has described
him as a political highwayman.
So that in this country of ours there are
in both parties men performing some
wonderful stunts. And IL there is l1umor
in the exhibition, there is also pathos.
Shouldis such men be permitted to cut such
capers on the national stage? Are the
Films the Dynamite Eds, the Murphys,
the Taggarts and the Sullivans the sort
to pick presidential candidates and pass
upon platforms under the swelling note OF
economy and reform?
This is a strong government. None
other could stand such q racket. And
we are strong and tolerant people. None
other would tolerate such farce and pre-
tense lin high place.

The Sensible Progressive.

Gov. Hadley's reasons for declining
to go into a third party movement are
likely to appeal to all sensible pro-
gressives as the passions aroused by
the Chicago conflict die away. Most OF
the real things for which the progress
sives are contending are made articles
Of the republican party faith. The
platform. with its declarations in favor
of an Improvement of court procedure.
in favor Of a simpler and more ef-
fective method of removing judges
who fail to do their duty. in favor of
workmens compensation laws and OF
other things to bring about what is
called social Justice. is. as Gov. Had
ley says. the most progressive platform
that has ever yet been adopted by any
party.
