that there is no separate portfolio
which could properly be assigned to
him and hence that he would have no
independent administrative duties:
that he would be a nondescript among
functionaries with we'll defined spheres
of activity, stranger in the midst of
an official family circle, a single i1ler
In group Of busy men. Against these
objections is set up the idea that by
virtue of his Office he is supposed to be
an understudy to the president, always
prepared to take the latters place at
an hours notice; that, in order to do
this acceptably, he must be in con-
slant touch with what his chief is do
Ing and understand the motives actu-
| ating every item in the administrative
program.
The detached attitude of the vice
president toward the rest of the ad-
ministration may not be chiefly &C..
countable for the sighting regard in
which his Office is commonly held. If
he attended the cabinet councils, even
though only as a spectator and CON-
mentator and without having any vote
or other direct responsibility, he would
be in a better position to serve as an
interpreter for the administration when

This Notwithstanding That
Five Presidents Have
Died In Office.

N all the talk of candidates little
speculation has been heard about
the second place on the national
tickets. Yet in the early days of
the republic the vice presidency was
regarded as training school for the
presidency. Five Of our twenty-five
elected presidents have died soon after
inauguration and their vice presidents
tnus raised to the presidency, and
the last three presidents have taken
thelr vice presidents into their more
intimate counsels. Nevertheless the
second place is held in such slight
esteem today that nobody launches
an active campaign for the nomina.
tion.
Most prominent men who have been
talked Of for the position during the
last half century have tried to escape
a nomination. One man, John G. Cal
noun, resigned the Office after serving
In it for some years to take a senator
ship. Three who have been actually
nominated have declined it. John
Langdon of New Hampshire was nam
ed in 1912 to stand with James Madi-
son, but refused, and Elbridge Gerry
of Massachusetts was named in his
stead. Silas Wright Of New York in
1874 was so indignant at the failure Of
the Democrats to nominate Martin
Van Buren that when he was nominat-
ed for vice president he instantly or
dered the withdrawal of his name. and
George NJ. Dallas of Pennsylvania was
substituted.
In both cases the declining candidate
threw away an election as we'll as a
nomination, though Mr.. Wright by run
ming for governor in New York the
same year and carrying the state by
the immense influence Of his name
brought the Democratic electoral ticket
in on the same wave, thus defeating
Henry Clay and shaping the history
Of the country for considerable Pc
riod Of years. The third declination
was that Of Benjamin Fitzpatrick of
Alabama, nominated in 1860 on the
Douglas ticket.
The Princeton union., 1912-06-13
Notable Men Declined.

A number of notable men, without
waiting for an expression of the senti-
ment of a convention, have refused to
allow themselves to be nominated for
vice president who, if they had con-
sented, could have become presidents
by succession. Chief among these was
General Benjamin T. Butler of Mas
sachusetts, who in 1864 was strongly
pressed to take the second place on
the ticket with Mr.. Lincoln. He re-
jected all overtures. and Andrew John
son ascended the ladder in his place.
They tell story of the offer of the
vice presidential nomination to William
P. Frye of Maine on the ticket with
Garfield in 1880 and of an accident
which took him out of the race appar-
emily of his own initiative Mr. Frye
always asserted. too. that he could
have had the nomination in 1900, when
1t went to Colonel Roosevelt. but that
he declined to consider it because he
regarded his seat in the senate as a
much prouder place.
Perhaps the worst slough into which
the party managers ever drifted with
regard to the vice presidency was the
practice, continued for a number Of
years, of using the nomination as a
consolation prize to hold the good will
OF the faction which had been defeated
In the contest for the higher honor. A
typical instance was the nomination of
Chester A. Arthur in $780, He stood
squarely by his obligation to the domi-
nant faction in the campaign. honestly
striving for Garfeld's election himself
and holding his followers to their
work. But when after Inauguration
the new president proved by his use
of patronage that he did not intend to-
put the party organization in New York
state into stalwart hands Mr. Arthur
rebelled and became one of the most
active insurgents till the tragedy of
the I'd of July and his elevation to the
presidency.
/, Ages of Some Candidates.
AS to the ages Of the men named
for the vice presidency. the oldest of
the successful candidates was El-
bridge Gerry. who was sixty-eight
years Of age; the next oldest William
Rufus King. sixty-six. George Clin-
ton and Thomas A. Hendricks were
both sixty-fve, Levi P. Morton was
sfxty-four, and Henry Wilson was six
ty. Henry G. Davis, the octogenarian,
who ran with Judge Parker in 1904,
was probably the oldest man ever
nominated for the vice presidency,
and Allen G. Thurman. who at seven
ty-fve years shared Mr.. Cleveland's
defeat in 1888, was probably the next
oldest Of the unsuccessful candidates.
By way of emphasizing the impor-
tance once attached to the vice presi-
dency it is an interesting fact that the
.'two-thirds rule" which has played
havoc with so many Democrats am
bitions. had it's origin in a desire to
limit the chances Of a candidate, not
for the first place on the ticket, but
for the second. Jackson was running
for second term as president in 1882.
In spite Of his somewhat stormy first
term, he was still more or less of a
popular idol, and there was little op-
position to his denomination. The
question of the choice Of candidate
for vice president was still open, how
ever, and a national Democratic con-
vention-the first known to our po-

TAFT IS CONFIDENT

Reassuring Messages.

President Taft is not considering and
viii not discuss with any OF the callers
at the White House the possibility OF a

vention.
Those OF his visitors who have had the
temerity to breach the subject have been
Informed with emphasis that there viii be

dent, Il Is announced, Is absolutely posi-
tive that he win be nominated and be-
cause OF this will not even think OF the
probability OF a dark horse capturing the
prize.
But, political prophets admit, should
the choice Of a nominee fall outside Of
the President or Col. Roosevelt. Il is
probable Taft would throw his strength
to either Senator Cummins or Former

principles OF the President and both of
them could be counted upon to uphold
the constitutional guarantees'' which
have become a part OF the Taft platform.
Numerous reassuring kilograms poured
into the White House yesterday. among
them one from Representative F. E.
Roberts, which read:
Nevada delegates solid for you and

The President also received a letter
from the officers OF the Farmers Ma
tional Congress, with headquarters in
Chicago which contained the following:

votes which had been given out earlier in
the day.
The estimate as compiled by Director
Mckinley footed up 5a5 votes. AZ given
out publicly by Barnes. who again left on
his devotion 20 principles 20 do a little
figuring, II was 56a When Barnes was
asked privately just how many delegates
he expected TO get, he scaled II down TO

agreed TO by Penrose, the real Taft boss.
but Penrose added: IF We can hold
them
Crane Again Halts Roller.
The Roosevelt figures were 5SS. and no
one attached to the Roosevelt crowd
would lower them. These figures, accord
ing to q Roosevelt insider, are based not
only on any tables that have been given
out, but on private information as to the
number Of delegates who are leaving the
Taft column by a subterranean passage
that leads TO the Roosevelt column.
Banks Is one Of these. and IL Is conf
IDENTIFY reported that there are many
more.
Senator Crane. who again had to halt
the roller to-day for an overhaultng, Is
really worried tonight.
Crane and Penrose both know that the
Mckinley table is given out for general
consumption, and that Mr.. Barnes Is
talking for publication when he claims
that there are $50 delegates who will vote
for Taft on the first ballot. Just how
many really will support the President
nobody knows tonight, and the game OF
trying to ind out Is occupying all the
time OF the big leaders on both sides.
Sail Into Contests.
The National Committee. as Senator
Borah predicted. got under way with
full head OF steam after a rest overnight
and sailed into the contests Just as II
there had never been any pause. Four
teen were seated before 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, making the score to date for
the contestants: Taft, 173; Roosevelt, 3.
The days results were as follows: Ok

Then Crane. fearing TO dash into Texas
before he knew how his committee stood,
called another halt. to which Borah, for
the Roosevelt people, agreed.
Texas. Virginia, and Washington must
all be disposed Of tomorrow. In Texas
there are thirty contests, and Cecil Lyon,
the gaunt gray National Committeeman.
says that twenty-eight OF them are of
no consequence. Lyon is the contestee
in all cases.
Senator Borah believes that the Taft
men on the committee will try to I'M
