representative Mckinley OF Illinois
says the reunion of Republican fac
tions is an accomplished fact and that
the Republican convention next year
will be love feast.
THAT the American industries which
are happy in prosperity are dependent
almost entirely on the boosting of
trade conditions in this country by
the European war. and that these
prosperous corporations are merely
industrial war brides" whose plight
will be desperate at ethe close of the
struggle in Europe, are facts which
have learned from observation of
conditions in the Middle West" Mr..
Mckinley said.
This means that inevitably the
country will return the Republican
party to power in the next presidential
election The Democrats will be
viewed again as they have been for
so many years; that is, as lacking in
constructive craftsmanship.

that entities them to all praise.
They have cooperated from the be

Mr.. Wilson Meets the Constitution.

Senator PoMrRrNE of Ohio has per-
formed the delicate but necessary
task of introducing the Constitution
of the United States TO President
WILSON. and in consequence OF his
diplomatic activities the Congress Is
not TO be urged to replace by statu-
tory enactment the provisions of the
Twelfth Amendment. President Will
son has learned that the repeal OF a
section Of the Constitution is no to
be effected by a mere primary law,
and the effort toward reform In the
selection Of a Chief Magistrate is to
take the shape It should. an attempt
to revise the system which went into
force In 1904.
Whether II Is worth while TO re-
cast the scheme devised as n suhsti-
tute for the original plan Of selection
is a question worth discussing. Had
the popular vote been decisive Mr.
CLEVELAND would have succeeded him
self in 1850. Again. the contest Of 1s1C
might have had a different outcome,
II II should he provided that a ma
jority was necessary for election,
grave difficulties might ensue. For
example. Mr.. WILSON'S electoral vote
Of 49, against 96 was obtained on a
popular vote that fell two and a half
millions below n majority. In the
main the present system has worked
well. and needs no other defence thar
the generally respectable records OF
the men who have been put into Of
fee under its operation.
Meanwhile. it Is gratifying 10 learr
that Mr.. WILSON has become nc
auainted with at least n restrainin!
requirement Of the Constitution.
