a Democrat should preside at the for
nal ossemblage when a Democratic
President is to be elected for the first
time in Is years.
It will be q very demonstrative oc-
casion. The galleries will be filed with
ardent partisans. AS the tellers an
uoui.ce the vote of state, the people
present from that state will voice their
approval with applause. II always
makes pretty spectacle. Naturally
the Democrats will make the most Oh
it, this year, because they have had
opportunity so seldom. The entire pro-
ceeding will be under Democratic aus
pieces. because a Democratic Speaker
of the House will sit at the immediate
right hand of a Democratic acting
Vice President, as the law and the
Constitution prescribes shall be done.
There are many states which have not
cast electoral votes for a Democratic
President before in half century
and the announcements before such a
spirited gathering. where applause is
not altogether taboo, will lead to DEM
onstrations.
That will conclude all activities in
the election of President and Vice
President. 1t has been practically two
years since the operation began. The
first stir about delegates to the ma
tional convention. which made the
nomination, and the early discussions
about available candidates began in
the winter of 1911.
