A HOME OPINION.

BE II remembered that the Spokane
Spokesman Review was. ut the out
set of the nomination campaign. IA
Taft supporter. Bearing In mind this
fact. there is special significance In
the views of the Spokane newspaper
whose sentiment was changed by the
theft of the state of Washington by
the state committee In the face of the
recorded opinion Of the people In
favor Of Roosevelt. This adds further
interest to the following comment In
the Spokesman Review upon the con-
summation of that steal through the
action of the national committee. Here
IL the editorial opinion Of the Spokane
newspaper upon the Chicago part of
the steal:
The crowning lnfamy of the re-
publican national committee was
achieved last evening when the Taft
delegates from Washington were
seated. despite the protests OF SEN
ator Poindexter and the Roosevelt
members Of the committee. The
Taft machine, as ruthless as ever, ig-
nored everything that was said. 1t
was not a question OF Justice; Il was
merely question Of votes--votes for
Taft.
This action of the republican ma
tional committee brings In glaring
light tn the people of Washington the
policy that has becn--is bclng--pur-
sued by Taft managers In their dcs-
peration to thrust upon an unwilling
party william Howard Taft as nom
inee for president. +. ass
Strong words have been used by
Colonel Roosevelt and his supporters
during the sessions OF the national
committee. The people of Washington
can now readily understand that
words strong enough have not been
coined that will adequately convey the
deep infamy that marks the decisions
of the committee.
There Is but one explanation for
the extraordinary actions of the com
mittee. These contests have not been
disposed of on their merits. The Taft
adherents control. they have the
power. and. regardless of everything.
rhyme or reason, they are determined
to rule or ruin. The result will and
must be the destruction of the whole
fabric of the republican party.
The republicans of Washington

committee. That is certain. Samuel

the apportionment of delegates. Since
1854 the national conventions OF both
parties have been MADE up of twice
as many delegates as each state has
electors In the electoral colleges. This
gives the democratic state OF Missis.
sippi, where there are almost no re-
publicans, exactly the same strength
IN the national convention as Kansas,
which is almost always certainly re-
publican. 90
In democratic conventions since 1892
the state has been universally recog.
nized as the unit-modelling the
party constitution exactly upon the
constitutional plan for the election OF
president. with the exception that
two-thirds Is required to nominate.
whereas only majority OF the presi-
dental electors choose a president.
The unit rule. by which all OF the
delegates from a state vote the en-
tire voting strength OF the state in
accordance with the desires of a ma :
Jority OF the delegates from that state,
or In compliance with the instructions
OF the state convention or primary
that appointed the delegates, there
fore has been "A feature of every DEM
| oeratic convention.
In the republican conventions the
congressional district and not tho
state has been the unit. and therefore
the state unit rule has not been ap-
piled. This system was at first mere
ly n result OF common consent, but
after the unit rule had been definitely
rejected by the national conventions
of 1875 and 1880. provision for elec-
ton OF delegates by districts rather
than by state was explicitly made by
the convention of 1884. the first IN
which Mr.. Roosevelt was a factor. III
that same. convention OF 1894, II Was
proposed to base the apportionment of
delegates on republican votes cast and
not upon the number Of electors This
movement has been revived at every
republican convention since that time
and four years ago the convention
that nominated Mr. Taft rejected the
new scheme. as proposed by Senator
Bourne of Oregon, by a margain OF
only thirty-six votes.
Since the last national conventions
were held strong movement for the
election and instruction OF delegates
In primaries has sprung. up in all
parts OF the country and the rapid
growth of this idea has led many OBJ

National Conventions,
XXI-Sincc 1896.
BY Frederick ]. Haskin

Each of the two principal political
ventions since 1S96-the six calmest
and most uneventful conventions In
our history. During all that time the
republican party has been absolutely
dominant In national affairs and the
democrats have had nothing TO en-
courage them. but that hope that
springs eternal In the breast of every
follower of Jefferson.
During the political period covered
by the three presidential campaigns
of 1900. 1904 and 1908. no radical
change In the constitution of either
party took place: there was no divi-
sion OF opinion that served to divide
any convention along well marked
lines; and there was In both parties q
manifeet disposition on the part of the
voters TO submit unquestioningly to
the decision OF the regular party au-
thorIties In all matters. 1t Ia true
that "A marked schism took place In
the republican ranks. succeeded by
similar, even II less noisy, division In
democratic ranks, directly after the
j
left for the national conventions this
week at Chicago and next week at
Baltimore to determine whether con-
servative or progressive thought shall
control In the respective organiza tions.
In no one OF the six national con-
ventions of the big parties held during
this period has there been any change
In the organic law controlling party
organization. The three democratic
conventions without word OF debate
accepted and affirmed the two thirds
rule and the unit rule that are the
distinguishing characteristic of.9dem-
ocratic conventions; and no voica was.
raised to suggest any change In. the
scheme Of apportionment except with
respect to the Philippines. Adopting
policy consistent with their anti
| imperialistic views. the democrats at
Kansas City In 1900 refused TO admit
delegates from the Philippine islands.
although Filipinos had been admitted
to the republican convention at Phil
| adelphia a few weeks before. The
democrats have adhered to this policy,
although the democratic national COM
mittee, meeting last January included
Philippine representation In the call
for the national convention Of 1912.
Therefore Filipinos will be present at
democratic convention for the first
time at Baltimore next week.
In every republican convention since.
that Of 1884 there has been sentI-

CHICAGO CONVENTIONS.

Counting the minor party conven-
tions which have been held there,
Chicago holds record of about
twenty national party assemblies But

oils eleven conventions. Todays ses-

large letters upon the political map
OF the country. There. in the famous
Wigwam, erected especially for the
purpose of housing the republican
convention, Lincoln and Hamlin were
nominated in 1860. Eight years later

there was an interval Of nom

when Garfield and Arthur were
named in the old interstate exposition
building, In 1884, Cleveland and
Hendricks and Blaine and Logan were
nominated in the same building. In
1883, the Auditorium. still uncom-
pleted, was fitted up for the accom-
mediation of the republican conven-
ton, and there Harrison and Morton
