dent. In all the line of Republican
Presidents, only one of those who sur
vived the first term failed of renomi-
nation. That one was Rutherford b.
Hayes, whose title to the first term was
disputed. Lincoln, Grant, Harrison
and Mckinley were all nominated for
second term. Hayes was not candi-
date for denomination nor was he con-
sidered because of the manner of his
first election. His successor, Garfield,
was murdered during his first term or
he would have been renominated. Mr..
Roosevelt was not nominated for the
second time because he declared that he
regarded himself as having already
served two terms.
The denomination of Mr.. Taft how
ever, is departure from precedent as
to its method Other candidates have
been nominated in Republican conven-
tons by the use of the "steam roller"
and all other political machinery that
could be of service. But at least the
delegates who made the nominations
have always been considered bona fide
delegates and entitled to their seats in
the convention. Not so, however, with
the delegates by whose votes the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Taft was achieved. With
out the votes of the contested delega-
lions from a number of States Mr..
Taft could not have received the nomi-
nation. If the contestants, who were
clearly elected and who plainly rep
resented their party had been seated
Mr.. Roosevelt and not Taft would have
been the nominee.
The denomination of Mr.. Taft sup
plies strong and telling argument for
the constitutional limitations of the
President to a single term. Even with
the votes of delegates denounced by Mr..
Roosevelt as fraudulent, Mr.. Taft could
not have been nominated without the
rotten borough, or pocket borough,
votes of the South. The votes rep
resented no Republican party and no
Republicans. The Southern delegations
in the main represented the Federal
office-holders-the Administration in
short. With such power as the Pres
ident has, if he is content to use that
power and his political agents are with
out political scruples, then he can COM
mand and compel his denomination.
Does anyone suppose that if Mr.. Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt had been running
against each other on equal terms that
Mr.. Taft could have been nominated?
The significance of the action of the
Republican convention is twofold. 1t is
as we have said, the triumph of machine
methods and unfair methods. In ad.
dition to this, it is triumph of con-
servatism and reaction; it is triumph
of the high tariff and the protected anc
privileged interests; it is triumph Of
the cold guard" and the standpatters
1t commits the Republican party to all
these things. 1t commits the Republic
can party to the continued oppression
of the people by excessive tariff taxa
ton; it commits the party to the con
tinued protection of the great manu-
featuring monoplies from outside com
, petition; it commits the party t.
everything against which the Progress
. sive Republicans of the West have beer
, protesting.
, And now what are the Democrat
; going to do about it. Baltimore SIM.

SHALL THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
DIE?
NO. 2.
[From the New York World. ]

From the New York World.
We agree with Mr.. Bryan that "this
is no time for protestations of party
loyalty"
We agree with Mr.. Bryan that if the
Democratic party "has not virtue
enough to repudiate this band of buc-
cancers" who are now in control of the
convention, it can make no appeal to
the confidence of the people.
We agree with Mr.. Bryan that any
candidate for the nomination who enters
into collision with the Ryans and Bel
monts and Murphys twill find mill
stone about his neck. "
We agree with Mr.. Bryan that if the
representatives of Wall street corrup-
ton and political corruption name the
candidate, "the nomination will be a
mere formality."
The rank and file of the Democratic
party are honest and progressive. They
will not tolerate government by Murphy
for the profit of Ryan. They will not
support tainted ticket. They will not
submit to the rule of the Tobacco Trust,
or to the rule of the Traction Trust, or
to the rule of the Money Trust, or to
the rule of Tammany Hall.
Party sentiment never counted for
less than it counts for now. Party
loyalty was never weaker than it is
now. Party emblems never meant less
than they mean now. If the Demo-
cratic party deserts the people, tn
people will desert the Democratic
party. If the Democratic party allows
Ryan and Belmont and Murphy to nom-
mate the ticket, Ryan and Belmont and
Murphy will have to elect the ticket
if they can.
Mr.. Roosevelt has again shown his
political shrewdness by postponing his
third-party conference until he sees who
is nominated at Baltimore. He knows
that his political future rests with the
Democratic Convention. If Ryan anC
Murphy and the Tobacco Trust anc
Tammany Hall nominate their kind Of
candidate, Mr.. Roosevelt will at once
become the great leader of a new great
party. If Ryan and Murphy and the
Tobacco Trust and Tammany Hall nom
mate political hack like Champ Clark
Mr.. Roosevelt's party will instantly be
come the one hope of radicals and pro
gressives. The campaign will be {
contest between William H. Taft anC
Theodore Roosevelt, and the Democratic
ticket will be an object of derision anC
contempt
The World does not know of a single
Northern State that could be carried by
RyanizedM urphyized Democracy. TIT
Baltimore Convention may sell thu
party emblem to Wall street and Tam
many; it may sell the ticket to Wal
the Democratic rank and file to Wal
street and Tammany. 1t cannot sci
the hundreds of thousands of independ
ent voters without whose support n,
Democratic candidate for President ha
a ghost of chance of election.
The Ryan Murphy coalition is con
spiracy against the very life of tn
Democratic party. If Democracy fail
the country in this crisis, what excus,
remains for its further existence? Tn,
overshadowing question before the Bal
timore Convention is this:
Shall the Democratic party die?

The rObber talked about the crime to-

said.
The man, who is well educated. went
on calmly:
When a man is up against it, it is
