was going on or to understand it.
Il predict that there will be but one
more great national convention after
the one four years hence. We will
nominate our candidates just as we
elect them-by direct vote of the
people"
We do not understand, however,
why Mr.. Mayes should extend the life
of the convention system to eight
years hence. If popular opinion
crystallizes as rapidly on this subject
as it has done in recent years on other
progressive measures, the next con-
vention four years hence will take the
necessary action to secure the reform
that he predicts.
The convention system is not only
Objectionable for the reasons named
by Mr.. Mayes, but it is rotten to the
core. Trading among the leaders of
the various state delegations has al
ways been a recognized feature of ma
tional conventions. The powerful New
York delegation, always under the
control of the Tammany leaders, by
shrewd alliances with the delegates OF
other states controlled by similar in
terests, has generally been able tc
control the. nominations in national
Democratic conventions, and when il
could not control them, have knitted
the nominees in the general election
And that has been the prime cause OF
the almost continuous defeats of the
Democratic party for the past forty
years.
Editor Mayes is right. Let us
nominate candidates just as we elect
them-by direct vote of the people"

views the common lot only as one

He knows the common life only as one

The great movements Of human
progress have seldom originated with

theoretically, the young man Of In
dependent means is the young man
who can best afford to devote himself

tact, that is just the kind OF young
man which the public can least afford

The young man without means but
with the right stuff in him sees little
satisfaction for himself in the public
service, even in the way Of a bare

glittering attractions.

We agree with Editor Frank Mayes.
of The Pensacola Journal, who was a
delegate to the recent Democratic
convention in Baltimore, when he
says:
THE proceedings of the Democratic
convention offer the most conclusive
reasons why national conventions
should be abolished and candidates Be
nominated in a primary. They call
national convention a deliberative
body. It is nothing of the kind-ft is a
mob.

They are talking of Frank Mayes as

The brilliant Pensacola editor could
handle the job with credit to himself
and satisfaction to all concerned. How
ever, being a newspaper man. it is not
likely he could be elected to any job
with salary attachment. Newspaper

Republicans DISTRACTED
All Legislation.

A Republican majority In the senate
and a reactionary president have COM
oined to kill all the progressive legis-
alton that has been attempted by con-
yress thiS year and it is quite probable
that. after the passage Of the regular
appropriation bills which will keep the
wheels Of the government in motion,
congress will adjourn.
Tie failure of Theodore Roosevelt to
secure the nomination at the Chicago
convention seems to have put an end
70 the working agreement, whereby in
many instances the insurgent Repub-
iicans voted with the Democrats
The nomination of Governor Wilson
having so completely ta,ken the wind
out of the sails Of Colonel Roosevelt, a
aamper has been thrown over the en-
thusiasm Of the doughty colonel's fol-
lowers in the house and senate
Believing now that they cannot help
Roosevelt's chances and seeing that
The president is already as politically
lead as mackerel, they will probably
spend the remainder of the session
the president stands ready with his
deadly veto, to kill anything in the ma
ture of progress or reform, that con-
gress may attempt.
In view Of this, little constructive
legislation Of progressive kind need
oe expected until after the election
and Inauguration of Woodrow Wilson
as president Of the United States.
Regardless of opposition in the SEN
ate and in the executive office, the
present Democratic house of represen-
tatives under the wise and able lead
srship of Speaker Clark and Chairman
Underwood has enacted more progress
sive constructive legislation than any
house has within the past twenty years.

young Men in Florida.
This is a day of young men and for
young people. Some time since The
Pensacola Journal called attention to
the number of young men, who had
this year won political honors in the
Florida political primaries. Read the
names of few: Emmett Wilson, for
congress from the Third; H. S. Cald-
well, states attorney for the Live Oak
district; Park Trammell for governor,
and others, whose names escape our
memory. The next Florida legislature
will have many young men in its
membership. If they will only be
