A STRONG NOMINATION.

Not only has the nomination OF
Woodrow Wilson been enthusiastical.
ly commended by almost everybody
as the strongest and most logical
nomination that could have been
made, owing to the tremendous SEN
timent In favor Of progressive men
and progressive measures. that Is SO
widespread in this country at this
time, but the selection Of Governor
Marshall as a candidate for vice pres
ident ID also considered everywhere
an heal selection.
Governor Marshall was not selected
as a stagetic move upon the part or
the convention to heal the imaginary
wounds Of seme Of the delegates, as
Is usually the case by national con-
yenuons. but he was nominated be-
cause he possessed the necessary
qualification to take up the great
work Of the presidency in case a
vacancy occurred.
The New York Times, in referring
to the matter recently, said: The
democratic candidate for vice presi.
deEt has one qualification for the
office that is not usually demanded
or obtained-he is quite fitted to
perform the duties Of president
should he be called upon to do so.
He was not only seriously proposed
by his own state for the first place,
but his qualifications as a candidate
as to character. as to ability, and as
to popularity where he is best known
rank with those Of his associate on
the ticket"
This suggests a question that
thoughtful voters should ask them.
selves-as to whether the nomlna.
ton Of Sherman was made by the re.
publicars with the fact in mind that
he might succeed to the presidency.
Can II be imagined that he would
have been endorsed by the reputli
can party as a candidate for presi
dent?
Yet the election of the present re
publican ticket would place him agsi'
In position where he would succeet
to the presidency in the event thai
III should become vacant during hi,
term Of office.
In Marshall, as the Times says
the democrats have a candidate fol
vice president who Is fitted to b (
chief executive should the duties O
the latter office devolve upon him
The Baltimore convention considered
him as a candidate for president. Tn
Chicago convention did not regart
Sherman as a possibility as Its nomi
nee for the same office. Marshal
was considered to be qualified fol
the presidency.
This Is a factor that should be tax
en- into consideration-that the vic,
presidency Is important in the great
est degree because the man elected
to 1t Is the successor to the presi
dent. He must be competent to as
