Can you give the resolution that is
the basic principle of the convention?

robber, thief and plunderer None
of these names is too severe, and II
you doubt it ask the farmer, who
knows him for the damage he does
every year to the clover and alfalfa
crops The plant is the dodder.
Perhaps we can forgive the dodder
for not preparing his own food. for he
has nothing to prepare it with. Nearly
all plants have chlorophyll, the sub
stance which makes plants green and
digests the food which they take from
the ground and the air The dodder
has no chlorophyll.
SO 1t has to turn robber to live. After
the seed springs from the ground the
dodder vine reaches out until it touches
some other plant. clover, for example.
1t attaches itself to the clover stem by
its tiny rootlets and begins to eat the
food which the clover has taken and
diSeSted.
After awhile the root withers and
dies, and the vine keeps reaching out
for more victims. binding them to-
gether with its tiny threads You prob
ably have seen the small. pale. bell
shaped flowers climbing over field of
clover.
Once dodder gets hold in a clover
field the farmers only escape is to cut
clover and dodder alike and burn the
crop. And the farmer believes this
death none too horrible for the little

Number of Ballots.

How many ballots are necessary to
choose n candidate?
Answer,-Thls depends entirely on
conditions. This year there probably
will be only one roll call at the Dem
ocratic convention and one ballot for
President Wilson At Chicago there
probably will be a large number. as
there is such variety of candidates
and possibilities. In 1852 the Demo
Gratis agreed on Franklin Pierce only
after fOrty-nine ballots had been TAX

ans on the first ballot There were at
that convention. however, 344 delegates
who withheld their votes.
How are the expenses incurred by
convention metz
Answer.-The national committees
award conventions TO centrally locat-
ed cities which offer financial induce
ments. There is always keen rivalry
among cities, many of which make
high bids. Baltimore and Chicago
each contributed 100000 In 1912. A
national convention is a great adver-
tisement and good business stimulant
for a city.
Are tickets 10 convention issued?

Instructed Delegates.

How do the delegates TO the various
conventions know for whom to cast
their votes?
Answer Delegates are often In
structed by the state conventions which
elect them. In the case OF direct pri-
mary elections the candidate for dele
gate announces his fayorite. and thus
the people can express their views d.
rectly. The instructed delegates al
ways, or are supposed to, vote as they
have been instructed until they see
that 1t Is impossible to secure major
ity or two-thlrds vote, as the case may
be. Then the delegates vote as they
see fit and ballot after ballot is taken
until the necessary number OF votes is
secured to award the nomination.
However. many states send uninstruct-
ed delegates TO the conventions, and
these lend their support to the man
who In their opinion stands the best
chance Of defeating the nominee of the
party

or what do the opening exercises con
sist?
Answer There is an opening prayer,
one day by a priest, another by min
lister, various denominations receiving
recognition.
Can you give the exact modus oper-
andi of the national convention?
Answer.-A temporary chairman is
nominated and makes an address Fol
lowing this is the appointment of sec
retaries. clerks and other necessary Of
iicials. together with the adoption of
rules which are to govern the business.
Then the committees-among them
those on credentials. resolutions and
permanent organization-are appointed
and adjournment is taken to wait on
their reports.
What happens at the next sitting?
Answer.-This usually names the
permanent chairman, who speaks.
Then the report OF the resolutions COM
mittee. which contains the platform OF
the principles OF the party, is read and
ordinarily sustained. Then the real
business follows.
What Is the real business?
Answer.-The nomination of candi-
date. The roll call by state is begun
and when Ohio, for instance, is sung
out from the desk prominent delegate
from Ohio arises. steps to the rOstrum
and with oratorical flourish proposes
the Ohio candidate. The roll call is
thus completed. and when all candi-
dates, varying in number. have been
placed before the con-
vention ballotlng begins.
How are the ballots cast?
Answer,-Each state delegation Sc
let's one member as chairman. The |
roll is called by states. and the chair |
nan announces the votes of every dele
gate from his state. IL each delegation
'otes as a unit the chairman merely
