olumcs have been written about the
methods of choosing Presidents in the
United States. First there was the con-
SreSsional caucus. which made way for
the national convention. Then the ma
tonal convention was more and NOR"
restricted by instructions and rules. ana
later by primaries in the home states
And now President Wilson has recon-
mended that the primary he substituted
for the convention even with respect to
the presidency.
Over here there is no such Journalism.
The prime minister is evolved by his
party in a
Little Formally but informal
in the English Plan. ,n ' ~, ons
consent
For instance, when the liberals came
back into power nine years ago their
leader was Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man He had been chosen to the leader
ship in the commons when Lord Rose
berry resigned. but some of the party
did not admit that he was leader in the
country as well as in the commons.
"C.-B. was Scotch manufa cturer and
a little too new" to suit the wings
among the liberals. while the tories were
aShast that such a man should aspire to
the premiership. \ terrific campaign
was made AGAINST him. and three liberal
leaders twho are all still members of the
cabineu went to him privately and asked
him to withdraw Instead. he called
meeting Of the members Of the party i'll
the two houses of parliament and left it
to them. They said Stick The cam
paIsn in the press then gathered head
way. and party split seemed to
threaten
Then it was all settled in one night. a
gentleman asked CD" to dine with
him. and after that not even the most
rahid tory could find voice to criticisc
the chosen leader of the liberals. He
man who gave the dinner was commonly
called King Edward VII.
That's the way they settle things over
here. Imagine such informal methods in
1872 settling the rivalry between RooSe
Welt and Taft. or Wilson and Clark
When the next election is over. if the
liberals win, Mr.. &Squith will remain
at the head of affairs as matter of
course. No one will even suggest any
other course.
If the conservatives win. there will be
some parley. The tariff reform wing
will support Mr. Ronar Law. the oid-iine
tories probably will want Lord Lans-
downe But there wont he any ma
tional convention or any primary. Some
evening a few gentlemen will talk the
matter over with their cigars after din
ner. Then a meeting of the members of
the party in parliament viii he called
and a whisper of what happened at the
dinner will run around If that whisper
be 'Lansdowne," then the premier viii
be the Marquis Of IanSdoWne.
