National Conventions
Xlll.-War-T Time Nominations.
BY Frederick J. haskin

convention That convention nomi :
mated John &. Fremont, who had been
the llrst republican nominee, for presi :
dent, and John Coehranc for vice
president Three days before the reg
ular republican convention met Gen
eral Fremont accepted this nomna-
tion In letter In, which he said that
under the Lincoln administration the
country had the abuses of IA military
dictatorship, without its unity of ac-
ton and yigor of execution" lie fur
ther said that, If Lincoln should be
renominated 1t would be fatal to the
country The platform adopted by the
radical convention struck at Lincoln
Tor suspending the habcas corpus, and
then included this resolution: THAT
the confiscation of the lands OF the
rebels and their distribution among
the soldiers and actual settlers Is u
measure of Justice"
The regular republican convention.
or, strictly speaking, the union conyen-
tion, met In Baltimore on Tuesday. on
the saturday night before there was a
meeting of republican chiefs and big
Wigs In New York, ut which 1t was
proposed to stampede the convention
to General Grant. But this could not
be accomplished. and when the con-
Vehtion met. I.incoln's nomination was
generally conceded, although there was
strong undcrcurrent of opposition
and fear on the part of the Lincoln
men OF a stampede. The New York
Herald correspondent on the ground
said: Were II not for the fact that
nearly two-thirds OF the convention
are officehoIders, Lincoln could not
be nominated II was remarkable that
practically every delegate from New
england was postmaster or IA holder
OF some other federal or civil office.
Ana the newspapers of the OPPOSITION
Cat this time they were nearly all OF
the oppostion) united in declaring that
the denomination and recollection OF
Lincoln not only would destroy the
Union, but 1t would work ruin and
destruction to tho whole republican
system of government"
There were n great many war demo-
Gratis in the, Baltimore convention, and
these ccntered their opposition to the
denomination of Hannibal Hamlin for
vice president, because they thought
that democrats ought to have a repre-
sentative on the union ticket. In this
they were supported by Mr.. Lincoln's $
friends, and the result was that An
drew Johnson of Tennessee, war
democrat who had refused to follow his
state out OF the Union, was nominated
for second place on the ticket.
The great fight In the convention
came on the platform and on the ques-
tion OF admitting delegates from south
ern states where reconstruction gov
ernmets had been set up by Lincoln
Thaddeaus Stevens, the leader OF the
house Of representatives, a radical and

STEVENSON is SILENT.

Friday night Senator Dixon made It
public statement In which he alleged
that the Taft forces in the national
committee are deliberately ignoring
the question Of justice in their hearing
Of contests and, In proof of his asser-
tion. Mr.. Dixon cited colloquy which
took place during the Fridays session
Of the committee This is what Mr..
Dixon said;
The nation might as well know the
truth. Three minutes before the roll
was called on this contest Senator
Murray Crane Of Massachusetts
walked over to Mr. Stevenson Of Colo
rado, who holds the proxy for Senator
Scott Of West Virginia and said 70
him:
record In this case aSWnst seating the
Roosevelt delegates. the case Is so
plain that the country will not stand
for it,
Mr.. Stevenson replied: we have
10 do IT. III course there Is no lnsi1tl-
cation In fact, but If once we estab-
lish a precedent we will have 10 yield
In other eases"
Mr.. Stevenson told the Associated
Press that the statement of Senator
Dixon was wrong and that he would
see that II was made right the next
morning. Saturday passed and sun
day passed. Neither Crane nor Stev-
enson rose TO demand correction OF
the Dixon statement Nor Will they.
The statement is correct and Steven
son represents the spirit which Is
dominating the Taft forces and their
controlling interests In their endavor
To wreck the republican party by ut
terly ignoring the expressed wish of
the people. But, as Senator Dixon
said the naional committee Is not the
nation.
The Daily Missoulian., 1912-06-10

The denomination of Abraham Lin
coin was not accomplished without
difficulty, and, as Lincoln himself said
AT the time, 1T Is one thing to nomi-
nate ana another to elect" The nomi-
nation of General George Il. Mcclellan
as the democratic candidate against
Lincoln In lS6i was made without diff
flculty. but the same convention that
nominated him destroyed his chances
of election by adopting n platform that
declared, In effect, the war Is fail
urc"
Lincoln was frankly candidate for
denomination, and said he didn't think
II was good policy to swap horses in
the middle of a stream. He was op-
posed openly or secretly by nearly
every leader of prominence In the re-
publican party Seward, Chase and
stanton, whom he had honorcd above
all men, dcspsed him for his humble
origin and his unpo lishcd manner;
Greeley and Sumner were furious with
him because he permitted the war to
be fought by soldiers and not from
editorial tripods and library desks;
stevens and Wade hated him because
he would not aid them in their pur-
pose utterly to destroy the people of
the south, as well as the confederacy;
Wendell Phillips and other abolition
lists believed him n traitor because he
did not at once estirpate slavery,
There were few leaders for Lincoln,
but the plain people he loved so well
were for him. and the politicians could
not prevail against him. And, 1t must
be said that Lincoln himself was some
thing of "A politician.
The democratic party had been in
power for 60 years, ana during most of
that time II had been stronger in the
north than In the south. Four years
even four years of War--werc not suf-
ficicnt utterly to destroy the demo-
cratic Organization in the northern
states; were not sufficient to place the
minority republican party in complete
control.
On Washington's birthday, 1864 the
republican national committee issued
a call for national conventGn and, at
Lincolns suggestion, abanSoned the
name Of Republican Party" 1t called
a Union" national convention to meet
In Baltimore on June 7. TO this con-
vcntion both republicans and war
democrats were invited to send dele
gates. II Is significant that this was
the first national convention In which
the delegates apportioned to the states
were twice the number Of electoral
votes-a system now prevailing in both
parties
The ultra-radical republicans were
displcasod with the nature of this call,
and, becoming convinced that Lincoln
would be renominated, they sought to
restall IT. They called national
convention to meet in Cleveland

TRIUMPH OF TAFT PRINCIPLES

On April 80 Massachusetts held its direct primary cleo
ton The eight delegaes-alarge pledged to Theodore
Roosevelt were elected by puralcs of about 5000 EACH
Charles s. Baxter who headed the Roosevelt ticket re-
ceived 955l than w. Murray Crane the leader
of the Taft ticket The Massachusetts law made these
pledges on the ballot binding on the delegates elected
But the law, which was brand new and contained many
mperfectons, placed the ballot preference vote in
addition to the pledge of the candidates. More Taft ad-
heents than Roosevelt adherents voted in the preference
column The result that although the Roosevelt dele
gaes-aarge were elected by decisive puraltes of 9OOO
the preference vote binding under the law was given
to Mr. Taft by 1923
On the day following the primary Colonel Roosevelt tee
graphed to the Massachusetts deegatesarge elected by
5000 plurality under pledge to for him. that they
must vote for Mr. Taft the preference indicated that to
be the will of the people of Massachusetts He said
I'm this fight am standing for certain great principles
which regard vital to the present and future welfare of
securing the triumph of these principles Foremost among
these principles the right Of the people to rule and the
duty Of their representatives really to represent them in
nominating conventions no less than in executive egs
lative Offices"
Three weeks later Ohio held its primary election Roose
welt carried seventeen of the twenyone congressional dis
trics The only preference the ballot was the total
cast for the delegates pledged each candidate On this
total President Taft repudated by majority of about
63OOO Roosevelt was shown to be the choice of the re-
pubcans of Ohio by plurality Of $4,000 over Taft By
that overwhelming figure the republicans of Ohio instructed
their state convention elect pledged
to Theodore Roosevelt
But the state convention made up largely of piffing
politicians under the domination of the corrupt machines
and the pedders of federal patronage
In this uncturc President Taft emulaed Roosevets ex-
ample He, too sent telegram.
Did he urge his managers in Ohio to follow the plain in
structons of the people delivered by plurality of
Oh no; President Taft doesn't believe in rule by the gsy
passions OF the mob He is unalteraby opposed to the
tyranny of the majority He is for government by rep
resentatve part of the people, that is by the bosses and
corrupt interests So his telegram different from that
of Colonel Roosevelts
He ordered that his followers should fight for the dele
gates-at-arge, and added:
Ihe principles that represent are too important to
the country to lose anything by voluntary concession
hope therefore, that you and my friends will press the
contest to the end in the state convention"
And the corrupt gang cheated the people of Ohio and
elected six deegaesaarge pledged Taft thus scoring
triumph for the principles Mr. Taft represents.
