other seventeen of the twenty con-
ventions held by the Democrats since
1882 the man with the plurality at the
first has been nominated. OF course
exception must be made in the case of
1860 when Douglas nomination was
made only after bolt.
The Republican party has had only
IA conventions and from the first it
has made nominations by a majority
vote. Yet this system has produced
three dark horses, Hayes, Garfield and
Harrison, and four times has defeated
the candidate who led on the first
ballot with a plurality.
In 1860 Seward had the plurality
and was defeated by Lincoln; in 1875
Blaine had the plurality and was de-
feated by Hayes; in 1880 Grant had
the plurality in his fight for a third
term and was defeated by Garfield,
while in 1888 Sherman had the lead
and was beaten by Harrison.
The effect to weaken the faith of the
Wilson following by asserting that
even If he gets a majority he cannot
win the nomination is reduced to an
absurdity when examined in the light
of history.

OPPONENTS VIRTUALLY
ADMIT wilson Will BE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

Washington, March 5.-That the OPP
ponents of Wilson virtually admit
that the New Jersey Governor will
go into the Baltimore convention with
a plurality, If not a majority, of the
votes, is proved by the fact that their
agents are industriously spreading the
report that even if Wilson gets ma
jority he cannot get the necessary two
thirds vote required by Democratic
traditions and rules. Some Of these
agents point out that Bland was de-
feated in 1896 by Bryan, although the
Missourian had majority on the first
ballot. The best answer to this state
ment, say friends of Gov. Wilson, is
that is isn't true. There were 76S
votes in the Chicago convention Of
1896. On the first ballot Mr.. Bland
led with 235, less than one-third of the
whole, and the next biggest man was
Mr.. Bryan with 119 votes. Bland's
highest vote was in the third ballot
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-03-05

when he received POI to Bryan's 219.
No other candidate mustered more
than a hundred votes. On the fifth
ballot Bryan was nominated.
Further analysis of the history of
political conventions shows that the
bugaboo about the two-thirds rule and
its deadlocks and dark horses is I'M
founded. In the present instance the
wish is apparently father to the
thought, since the most earnest talk
ers about the dangers of the two-thirds
rule are the very men who would like
to see a dark horse named.
No man who ever received ma
jority of the votes in a Democratic ma
tional convention ever failed to get
the necessary two-thirds with the one
exception of Martin Van Buren, in
1874. Dark horses have been nomi-
mated by Democratic conventions only
, three times-Polk in 1874, Pierce in
| 1852 and Seymour in 1868. In the

ENDORSES
DRAINAGE Plan
Assures New Orleans Delegation He
Will Send Message to the
Congress.

Washington, March 5.-Mayor Mar
tin Behrman of New Orleans and the
entire membership of the Louisiana
delegation yesterday called upon Pres
ident Taft to urge his reconsideration
of the decision not to attend the Ma
tional Drainage Congress in New Or
leans April 1918.
President Taft told the visitors that
he could not be certain about attend
ing the congress, but if he did not go,
he would send message which would
strongly commend the object of the
congress and would indorse the whole
movement.
The mayor was presented to Mr.
Taft by Senators Foster and Thornton
He told the president that the swamp
drainage question was one of the
greatest problems which the Missis-
sippi Valley had to face. He said that
it was the biggest issue in all Louisi-
ana from the standpoint of Industrial
development.
1.-THE National Drainage Congress"
said the mayor, seeks to do for the
area now practically swamp lands
what the National Irrigation Congress
has done for the reclamation of the
arid lands o fthe West.
~"Forty-one states in the Union,
, continued the mayor in addressing the
! President, "have lands that are sub
ject to reclamation by drainage, and as
soon as these lands have been reclaim
ed and made useful, a decided de-
crease in the cost of living will follow.
More valuable land will be thrown
open to cultivation and prices are
bound to drop. ;,
"The reclamation of those wet
lands" the mayor went on to say, sis
matter for government consideration
and it is important that the
head of the government be
present and encourage the mem
bers of the congress in this work
You will find body representative OF
the best interests of the entire south
and east present at this congress, Mr.
President, and one which you will find
pleasure in addressing"
After hearing the visitors the Pres
ident said that he was vastly interest
ed in the movement and that he would
make special effort to be present in
April. II he was unable to do so, how
ever, he would send strong letter tc
the congress indofsing the movement
Later the mayor and the members Of
the delegation called upon Secretary
of Agriculture James Wilson and ex
tended to him most cordial invita-
ton to visit New Orleans and address
the congress. .

A RATIONAL CALENDAR.

The calendar and the hours of the
day seem to most of us almost like
part of the natural and immutable or
der of things, and however much trou-
BILE the present indefensible system
caused, men have felt that it was rash
almost impious--to suggest a change
in it. Give us back our eleven daysH
cried the mob when the Gregerian cal
endar was introduced into Great Brit
ain. From the days of julius Caesar
to our own, he has been bold reform
er indeed who would suggest changes
in the disorderly procession of the
months. Now enters Moses B. Cots
worth of Victoria, B. c., with a pro-
posal for a rational calendar. He
would divide the year into thirteen
months, each of twenty-eight days,
which would leave one extra day in
the year, and this he beautifully plans
as free day for every one-free from
interest charges on money, the neces-
sity to work, the wage scale, etc.
Then each month would commence on
Sunday and the first, eighth, fifteenth
and twenty-second days of each
month would be Sundays. President
Hadley of Yale is quoted as saying
that the month of of four weeks will
come as a commercial necessity" The
! adjustment to the change would be
very small compared to that necessi-
tated when standard time was intro
duced on trans-continental railways.

ROYALTY AND CHRISTMAS.
The Emperor and Empress Of Germany
Restow Rare Gifts.

00SIOW INdI0 $lI6Ss
In the German royal household each
member has his or her own individual
Christmas tree. The gift of the en-
press to her imperial spouse is usually
some souvenir from a famous battle.
Throughout the year she has her agents
securing the earth for rare trophies
and spares no expense in procuring the
one that strikes her fancy. This is
placed at the foot Of the emperor'S
tree. In this way and by other means
he has gathered a fine museum Of war
relics. One Christmas the present he
received was pistol used by General
Jackson at the battle of New Orleans.
The empress also makes presents to
INDECENT clergymen. The package to
each OF these consists of an outfit Of
clothing, Christmas card and cake
baked by her own hands. The kaiser's
gift to his wife is usually a fine jewel
or some article made by his own hands.
In England the celebration Of Christ
mas lapsed after the time of Crom-
well and the Puritans, swho regarded it
as too much of a pagan festival. Its
revival came about through the writ
ings of Charles Dickens and the royal
observance of the day by the prince con-
sort and Queen Victoria. After Prince
Albert's death the queen modified her
observance of the day for few years.

"Shoeing the wild mare" was a run

The wild mare was a boy or girl. wAe

others chased after him. If caught, his
foot was held aloft and the players
pretended to shoe it with resounding
thumps.

OF blind mans buff and of the care
That young men have to shoe the mara.

A plague on him who sourly dubs
The custom overdone,
For every Christmas gift contains
All presents rolled in one.
It takes the faith in things unseen
Most wonderful to think,
In reindeer Journeys over roofs
While stars look down to wink
It takes the hope which ever springs
In high and lowly found.

That make the world go round
And, last, 1t calls for charity
The present to enhance,
But IL from giyer or givee
Depends on circumstance.
