Failure of Republican Bolts.

st. Louis lobe-Democrat: : Col.
Roosevelt''s new party, If it ever
should be formed, is not likely to make
a demonstration which will be very
impressive. In general the bolts
which have taken place in the Repub-
Ilican party have injured nobody ex-
cept the boilers. For few days after
his nomination in 1864 the Fremont
boilers attracted some attention, but
they dropped out of notice soon after
ward and Fremont withdrew from the
race which he was never really in,
and Lincoln was reelected by large
majority The Fremont secession col
lapsed so quickly that it has failed to
get into the histories of the time. An
almost equally complete fiasco was
the bolt of the Liberal Republicans in
1897, who nominated Greeley, and he
was accepted by the Democrats. but
was badly beaten at the polls by
Grant The walkout of the silver ele-
ment of the Republicans from the ma
tional convention of the party in st.
Louis in 1896 took the seceders out of
their party. but the party carried the
election, and was stronger afterward
than it was before.
The only instance in which a Re
publican bolt injured the party was in
/ 1884, when section of the Repub-
licans turned against Blaine, the nom
inee. and supported Cleveland Had
the party in that year renominated
President Arthur they would haze
elected him, and the series of Repub-
lican victories for president, which
began in 1860, might have remained
unbroken to this day. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that Blaine him
self had recommended the bolt two
years earlier which defeated Charles
~. Folger, an able and worthy Repub-
lican, for governor of the state of
New York, and permitted Cleveland TO
reach the post. Thus the Democrat
whom Blaine sent to the governor
ship rose up to defeat Blaine two
years later for the presidency. Moth
ing in these conditions of 1912 afford
any resemblance to those of 1854, or
suggest in any way that the present
schism in the party can defeat 1t in
I November.
1 No party secession before or since
ever started out with such prospects
i of success for the seceders as did that
4 of 1872. Among the Liberal Repub-
ilican boilers of that year were Sum
ner, Greeley, George w. Julian, David
Davis, Andrew G. Curtin. Cassius NJ
/ Clay, Charles Francis Adams, Lyman
! Trumbull, John NJ Palmer, Benjamin
Gratz Brown, Carl Schurz and other
leaders. many of whom had been
among the founders of the Repub-
lican party. For few weeks, after
Greeleys nomination was Endorsed by
the Democrats, the chances seemed to
be so favorable for him that odds be-
gan to be offered on him in the bet
ting on the election. Long before No
vember arrived, however, his canvass
collapsed, and Grant received 2S6
electoral votes, as compared with 63
for the opposition. In Col. Roose-
tvelt's phalanx of boilers there is no
such array of great names as ap-
peared among the supporters Of the
Greeley ticket Of forty years ago

NEWS OF THE WEEK.

The aftermath of the Republican
national convention at Chicago and
the assembling of the Democratic ma
tional convention at Baltimore win
furnish the staple of news and discus
sion for the present week.
The chairman of the national COM
mittee called the Democratic conven-
ton to order at noon today. and in
troduced the temporary chairman who
will deliver the Keynote speech
When the speech is concluded the i'm
portant committees will be announced
and the convention will adjourn until
such time as the credentials commit
tee is ready to report. The second
day of the convention period, Wednes-
day. is expected to be given over as
usual, to parades CT the visiting dele
gates and marching clubs. This Is in
tended to make interesting the idle
hours for most of the delegates while
the credentials committee Is complet-
ing its work.
AS soon as the credentials commit
tee is ready to report the permanent
roll call, which will probably he about
Thursday morning, the convention will
assemble to begin the all-important
task of naming the Democratic can
didate for President. AS the two
thirds rule will prevail, it is regarded
as foregone conclusion that none OF
| the candidates will be named on the
first ballot The first ballot will. how
ever, give an idea of the relative
strength of the candidates. After the
first ballot the .favorite sons. are
! expected to drop out of the contest
! leaving the fight to the leading candi-
dates While the second ballet prob
ably will disclose the actual strength
jcf the leaders, 1t will probably require
Ia number of ballots before anyone
obtains the two-thirds vote necessary
Ito nominate. The selection of can
didate for vice president and the adop
ton of a platform viii follow the
naming Of the head of the ticket. The
majority Of the leaders are of the opin-
lien that Friday night should see the
end Of all deliberations and the wind
iup OF the convention.
! A statewide primary election is be
ing held in North Dakota today for
the nomination of candidates for gov
ernor and other state officers to he

In spite of the excitement at Chi
cago and the sanguinary speeches that
were made it is worth while to note
that aside from Colonel Roosevelt,
practically ell the turmoil was caused
by three or four men, none of whom
has any weight with the country. No
one viii pretend that Bill Finn of
Pittsburgh is a heavyweight in the
class of statesmen. Neither will any
one exalt Heney to the skies as an
example of political genius, ability or
Influence with his fellow citizens. He
Is not Republican and is wholly
lacking in the qualities Of leadership.
Senator Dixon counts for very little
and is repudiated already by his own
state. Barring Colonel Roosevelt, it
is seen that hardly any one of conse-
auence contributed TO the turmoil at
chicago and that the number of those

The talk at Chicago during the CON
vention was that in the event of the
reelection of President Taft Mr.. John
T. Adams of Dubuque will be mem
Der of the new cabinet 1t was said
that his name has often been men
toned in the highest official circles at
Washington and that it is known
among many of the leaders that the
President would be glad to have Mr..
Adams as a member of his official
family. The Gate City, In common
with hosts of Iowa Republicans, would
be pleased to see him thus honored.

The Roosevelt delegates were
strong on Boosting of what they were
going to dc, but when the crisis came
they fed from the field. Their con-
duct affords striking illustration OF
the correctness of Shakespeare's
definition of braggart-one who
loves to hear himself talk and will
speak more in minute than he will
stand to In month.

AGAIN WINS THE
GOLF TROPHY

For the eighth time, Mrs Ronald H..
Barlow, of the Merton Cricket Club,
won the Mary Thayer Farnum Memoir
ial cup on the course of the Whining
ton Country Club here yesterday, with
the score of II strokes for the thirty
six holes. Although the score of 80
made by her on the first day was high
IL was low enough to make it practic-
ally certain that she would retain the
trophy for another year because she
held a lead over Mrs. Milton Herold,
of Philmont, her nearest opponent by
eight strokes. Yesterday Mrs. Bar
low played a magnificent game and
negotiated the second eighteen holes
in S4 strokes, giving her a grand total
of 176 strokes for the two days.
The prize of the best choice net
score went to Mrs W. S. Hilles, Of the
home club, who had score of eighty
