John P. Adams, the groceryman on
Main street east. announces this week
as a candidate for Alderman Of Union

citizen here, a member Of one OF our

mental in large measure in bringing

to the desk that the convention may
proceed with harmony and dispatch,
and when the convention adiourns the
delegate finds that neither bis nor the
wishes Of the voter have been regarded
with any degree Of consideration.
Worse than this when the factions
clash. It is then battle Of star cham
bers and chicanery, and ends with a
disrupted party at the State convention.
Could there be any more iorcible exam
pie Of this than in Tennessee.
No. with all its ingenious argument
the Commercial Appeal wants to per-
petuate this system, in the face Of the
party pledges.
Says the G. A., the trainers OF the
Constitution made a profound study OF
the science OF Government They based
their theories upon the greatest work
that has ever been written, Plato's Re-
public. which the average Congressman
OF to-day would hardly be able to I'M
derstand. We venture the assertion that
the average member to-day is much the
same as he has always been. The men
who make their mark are usually the
exceptions.
We also venture with increasing con-
tidence that from the days Of Hamilton
and Jefferson down that there has not
been a greater student in the science
and ethics Of government than Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson In all the line
Of American Presidents, quoting from
Henry Watterson, there has not been
single one better equipped for the posi-
ton than Woodrow Wilson.
Would the Commercial Appeal likely
suggest that either Judge Harmon or
Champ Clark is better acquainted with
the history Of republics.
The Commercial Appeal seems to be
in love with the organization but not
with real Democracy. The big Bluff
City newspaper condones with corrupt
party methods and sees no way clear
for the voter to express his choice for
party nominees, much the same way
that the same paper defended gambling
in the grain pit under the guise Of up
holding the practice Of dealing in le-
gitimate futures.
This paper believes in progressive, or
genuine, Democracy, as it should be
called. The unaiterable logic always
forces itself upon US that the govern
ment belongs to the people, and the
party machinery as we'll, not to the
leaders and representatives, and no
sophistry under the sun can change that
idea. To say that the opinion Of
private citizen or voter should have no
weight with the member OF the Legis-
laturesor Congress in general legislation
or that the voter h o uI d not be
allowed to express his personal choice
for party nominees is to argue to us
that the name OF Democracy is cloak,
a byword, like sounding brass or tink-
ling cymbal, in the real affairs Of men
and governments. 1t is to discredit the
party, its great men and its traditions,
and to disIodge universal faith in its
time honored principles.
There have been and may be periods
when leaders will undertake to SET up a
limited Democracy but the great pre-
yailing American idea will always re-
main "a government Of the people, for
the people, and by the people, equal
and exact justice to all and special priv
eleges to none"

 Under the agreement at the open ing of the session it was expected that the vote on the adoption of the conference report would be reached about i o'clock.
