4 Good Word for baltimore.

From Leslies.
Happy! Baltimore looked upon the
Democratic National Convention as a
prize event: Chicago regarded the Re-
publican National Convention as an in
cident. Baltimore was decorated with
bunting and every one Joined in making
the convention visitors feel at home.
1t was warm in Baltimore. but not
warmer than at the Denver or Chicago
national convention four years ago.
Some growlers were heard, of course,
who were not satisfied with Baltimore
as a convention city. The hotel accom-
modations were said to be Inadequate.
the taxicabs too expensive, and so on.
But these are faults invariable found
with every convention city. possibly ex-
cepting New York and Chicago. both of
which are so large that they can swallow
up a convention crowd without notice.
Baltimore is a beautiful city, clean, well
governed and up to date. Its hotels are
numerous and equal to the best in the
land, and for hospitality OF the old-fash-
Toned, honest kind. its citizens. to use

The Kansas Brigandage.

The decision which will necessitate
that the United States Supreme Court
SHAH pass on the issues involved in the
Kansas primary ballot case, will at last
clearly determine whether the members
of political party in any State has
the right to protect themselves against
raiders who seek to wrest from them
privileges and benefits which they are
granted by the State laws. In Kansas
these, rights go further than in most
other States, for a new party trying
to place a State ticket in the field is
severely handicapped in having to Sc
cure $500 signatures of voters not en-
rolled in any existing party and by
having its nominees name put on the
election day ballot ungrouped and un-
der no emblem.
The question raised in Kansas was
whether candidates for nomination as
electors. who had obtained the sigma
lures of Republican voters to petitions
qualifying them to enter the Republi-
can primary, did not practice fraud on
the petitioners by announcing, after the
filing of the petitions, that they would
not support the nominees for President
and Vice President Some of the CON-
plainants assert that their signatures
had been given on the distinct under
standing that the candidates were Re-
publicans and would act with the Re-
publican party. Thus, they allege their
names were used to promote the nomi-
nation as Republicans of electors who
are not Republicans, because they have
asserted publicly that they mean to vote
for the Presidential nominee of the
new party.
Justices Pitney and Van Devanter
state that they consider these claims
worthy of examination by the full bench
of the United States Supreme Court.
1t is most desirable that the power of
the Federal courts to give relief in
case of failure on the part of State
courts to stop political brigandage
should be fully defined.

The Chicago Convention.

From thirty odd States men have
gone to Chicago to lay deep the foun-
dations of new political party, Great
ed for the sole purpose of refuting an
alleged theft" of votes and delegates.
Posterity is to be made acquainted with
the atrocity of 1912 that deprived mi
nority of a victory over the majority,
when, according to the new tenets of
the Bull Moose chief 45I delegates
should have prevailed over sol at the
National Convention. .....
The party thus organizing, contends
that Mr.. Taft stole" the nomination
from their Moses, and hence estab
fishes new issue in American politics.
Our other parties. founded upon political
theories more or less vigorous, have
had one general weakness as rule.
They were not unit in matters of
Interpretation. But this new party is
unanimous in all things. No one can
be a member unless he subscribe
to the doctrine that the Presi-
dent OF the United States knew of and
countenanced thievery in the convention,
that Roosevelt cannot be defeated ex-
cept through larceny, and that votes in
the mind of a candidate are just as
good as votes in the ballot box.
Does this make it clear to intelligent
readers upon how weak foundation
the old parties were built? They were
erected, plank by plank, upon nothing
but principles. Their promoters had no
conception of the power of the cry of
fraud They actually were such cow
ards as to admit that the majority
and not the minority-had the right
to rulei
The chief advantage enjoyed by this
latest of our political creations is be-
ing unanimous in all things and hav-
ing only one leader But there are
other advantages. 1t cannot be defeat
ed. If the lists, the records, appear to
be against it, blame the record by all
means! If other parties and their can
didates are victorious, despite of Bull
Moose achievements" this new organi-
zation sets all Alright by the dictum of
lis great chieftain that he does not pro-
pose to stand for it.
The delegates assemble to-day to
nominate candidates in advance, select
ed on platform already written; to
start in on a campaign that cannot
lose; TO celebrate a triumph already
won; to crown a Caesar who is already
decorated with laurels: to prepare an
Endorsement by men of common clay
of a prophet whose infallibility has
been established
To conclude, the Chicago convention
is TO inaugurate the millennium 1t has
all the earmarks of the doings of the |
Mad Mullah and the screecfing wild |
Dervishes. but being the first of its kind
in this country, it will be watched with |
the interest of sarcasm-from far off.
In how far the Roosevelt conven-
tion is 10 be taken seriously can only
be estimated after the return of the
Bull Moose delegates to their home
States and their ability to persuade the
voters that everything heretofore done
by other parties is wrong; that our Con-
stitution is wrong, and ought to be
abolished; that our courts and judiciary
are all wrong, and that there is not any
thing to save the country from the bow
vows and demnition but Theodore
Roosevelt Allah, and Joseph Dixon, his
prophet.

NO THIRD TERM.
Anti-TIlird Term League of Kansas
City Passes Resolutions.

Kansas City, June 7.-Ringing reso-
lutions against a third presidential
term were sent, addressed to the chair
man of the Republican convention 1T
Chicago yesterday by the Ant lird
Term League of Kansas City, 4Aan.,
which is affiliated with similar leagues
over the country. The resolutions bore
the signatures of fifty Wyandotte
county Republicans, many of them sol
diers who have Voted the ticket
straight from Lincoln's time to the
present.
Declaring that in their opinion two
presidential terms should satisfy the
ambition for political power and honors
of any patriotic president, the league
files a protest against the third term,
and declares THE surest way to pre-
vent a sixth term is to refuse third.
I'VE believe the very fact of an eX-
president going into political scraIn-
BILE for a third term presupposes two
conditions uniting him for further
declare.
First, an unbounded egotism that
assumes he is the only man fitted for
that exalted position; and
Second, an unbounded selfishness
that throws patriotism to the winds
in order to satisfy his own ambition
for political power"
The resolutions cited the situation
il Mexico as a concrete illustration of
electing a president for third, fourth
CT more terms. Praying the convention
not to nominate a candidate for a third
term, the resolutions closed with:
I'VE cannot regard with favor an ex-
president who allows the officers of
the two greatest trusts in the world.
which We're benefited by his official
acts as president to the amount of
about 500, 000,G GOO, to be his financial
hackers in furthering his third term
am bition."
The Anti-Third Term League in Kan
sas City, Kan, was organized Wednes-
day by Wiley Britton. Civil war vet
eran who lives at 81 North Fifteenth
street. J. r. johnson is secretary. The
leagues have been formed in affilia-
ton with the National Anti-Third
Term League of Washington, of which
former Senator Henry w. Blair Of
New Hampshire is the head. Leagues
have been organized in all the large
centers, and hundreds of petitions,
bearing thousands of names, have been
mailed to convention delegates, pray
ing that a third-term candidate be not
ne minated.
