by republican success at home in No
vember. With Massachusetts, re-
deemed, he would have a stronger
claim on the other New England
states in his appeal for delegates to
the republican national convention
and as the choice of New England in
that body he would cut most re-
spectacle figure.
While there are other issues, the
tariff is much in evidence. The I'm
derwood law does not suit the bust
ness interests. Not simply the manu-
featuring interests, but other inter-
ests protest the revision made by the
Sixty-third Congress, and want a re-
turn as soon as polite to the straight
and undisguised principle of protec-
ton. And, as may be imagined, Mr..
Gardner's activity for an adequate
national defense is warmly Endorsed
by those who want their industrial
plants defended against hostile forces
in the fields of trade.

The Six Parole Breakers.

The disappearance of six warrant
| officers of the interned German
cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm at Nor
folk is annoying, but not necessarily
disquieting. Apparently these men
have taken French leave" and it IS
believed that they have gone to sea
in small craft that cannot carry
them very far, and may get them
into serious trouble. Presumably
their conduct is more embarrassing
to the German government than to
this one. inasmuch as if they should
make their way to Germany it would
be necessary to return them. and
meanwhile their breach Of parole has
made it necessary to cancel all shore
leave for all their comrades at Nor
folk, thus imposing hardship upon
others. 1t is inconceivable that there
is any plot to use the men of the
interned cruisers for flibustering
purposes. Such an enterprise would
be absolutely in violation of inter-
national law, and incidentally gross
breach of faith which is not to be
charged against the German authori.
ties in the light of the now known
circumstances. If these men who
have violated their parole are cap
tured by the British they will be, of
course, held as prisoners of war.
Theirs is a foolish venture, whatever
the angle of judgment.

Fake Auctions.

At a meeting of the Retail Mer-
chants Association Saturday night
the subject of the fake auctions held
in this city was discussed. and prog
ress was reported on the preparation
of a proposed statute designed to en-
able the District government to cope
with this form of imposition. The
present law does not suffice for eff
fective regulation, and until it is
amended these concerns flourish, at
the expense of innocent buyers, who
are beguiled into believing that the
sales are fairly conducted on basis
of genuine competitive bids.
The complaint against these So
called auctions is, first, that the goods
sold are misrepresente6 as to their
value, and, second, that the bidding
is not genuine, but is usually stimu-
lated by "cappers." A favorite device
to attract attention and assemble bid
ders is for a confederate of the auc-
tioneer to engage in wrangle from
the sidewalk through the open door
respecting the quality of goods Of
fered for sale and the righteousness
of the prices suggested. This farce
is maintained with every show of
earnestness, and usually succeeds in
gathering groups of people who are
lured into the room to be hynotized
through the rapid-hre talk of the
auctioneer into bidding for that
which they do not really want and
which is of no value to them.
A large percentage of the victims
of these places are strangers to
Washington, who, when they find
themselves fooled, feel that the city
has not afforded them proper protec-
ton from swindlers. If the Retail
Merchants Association, in co-opera-
ton with the corporation counsel,
can devise means to correct this
condition it will have conferred a
valuable benefit upon the local busi-
ness community and upon the public
at large.

Mr.. Marshall and denomination,

Says the New York Tribune on the
subject of Mr. Marshall for renomi-
nation, basing its observations on the
remark attributed to the President,
but which he did not make, that at
is un1ucky TO run the same team
twice:
Richard NJ Johnson was chosen
Vice President in 1896 on the same
ticket with Martin Van Buren. He
was defeated as Van Buren's asso-
olate IN IS4o. Since then there has
been but one instance in which Presi-
dent and Vice President have sought
reelection together. In 1892 James S.
Sherman was renominated with Will
liam H. Taft on the republican ticket
But Mr.. Sherman died before the
electoral college met-even before the
presidential election was held-and
the electoral votes intended to be
cast for him had to be cast for a
substitute designated by the republi-
can national committee Lincoln ran
with Hannibal Hanlin in 1860 and
with Andrew Johnson in 1864. Grant
ran with Colfax in 1868 and with Will
son in 1872. Cleveland ran with Hen
bricks in 1884 and with Thurman in
1888. Harrison ran with Morton in
1888 and with Reid in 1892 McKin-
. ley ran with Hobart in 1896 and with
Roosevelt in 1000. Hendricks and Ste
venson both ran for the vice presi-
dency twice. But each of them was
renominated after an intervening
term. 1t is, in fact, the rule of Ameri-
can politics not to run the same team
twice and as student of American
history President Wilson is thorough
ly familiar with the embargo put by
custom on repeating candidates. for
the vice presidency"
This history needs little elucida-
ton Take it, item by item.
Lucky. would it have been for the
republican party and the country had
Hannibal Hamlin been renominated
The selection of Andrew johnson
was a mistake which caused no end
Evening star., 1915-10-16

of trouble between the spring Of 1866
when he succeeded to the presidency
and March, 1860, when he[etired from
the Office.
Except for the credit mobilier scan
dal, which involved him, Mr.. Colfax
who was a man of fine ability, would
have been renominated.
Mr.. Hendricks died shortly after
taking Office. Otherwise he would
have been renominated. He was
forced into acceptance in 1884. and
could have been forced again in 1888.
The republicans changed from Levi
P. Morton, an excellent man, to
Whitelaw Reid, another excellent
man, but did not elect their ticket
in 1892
Mr.. Hobart died in Office, or he
would have been renominated. He
had made a deep impression on the
country, and his chief had put great
store 6y him. And there are repub-
licans today who lament the choice
the party made in 1900 to take Mr.
Hobart's place.
If Mr.. Marshall lives-and who does
not wish long life to so amiable and
attractive gentleman?-he will
doubtless again be Mr. Wilson's yoke.

opponents-though just now vocal
and busy-are comparatively few in
number, and are likely to fail in their
efforts to turn him down.
