IHEN the democratic national
| AN convention assemblies in
San Francisco there will
be the unprecedented spec
| tacle of the President of the United
states, for eight years the head of the
party, no more in touch with the
| proceedings than the average citi-
zen in any part of the country distant
from the scene Of the gathering.
This does not mean that the Presi-
| dent will not be deeply interested
! in the convention, for he will await
| with eagerness the news of each can
| didate whose name is placed in NOM
| nation, and the result of every roll
| call. But his sources of information
will be those available to millions
| Of others, and he will have no lin
| side information" as to what is being
done.
Depends ON News Agencies.
i When it was settled that the con-
vention should be held in San Fran
| cisco many persons took it for
granted that there would be a leased
telephone or telegraph wire from the
| convention hall to the White House.
such as was operative between the
Coliseum in Chicago and the home of
Boise Penrose in Philadelphia, during
| the republican convention. But with
| the big demand for transcontinental
! wires during the convention it is
doubtful If one could be obtained for
the exclusive use of the President,
and even if it were done the est would
| run into the thousands.
| Instead the President will be de-
agencies for his first information of
| the convention proceedings. and
| though he may be in constant tele-
phonic communication with one of
the news bureaus in Washington
| most of the time, he will be only a
| few minutes ahead of the bulletins
| and extras available to the public.
Should he wish to send any urgent
word to the party leaders in San
Francisco or should they wish to COM
| municate with him, the message will
| be sent over. the usual commercial
wires, as any citizen would send them.
Il
story of Message Discredited.
So confident were many writers that
the President would send some per-
sonal word to the delegates that a
recent story to the effect that the
President was preparing his mes

dent feels thai: in his messages to
Congress. and.iin certain other public
statements. such as his Endorsement of
the, platform adopted at. the Virginia
state democratic convention. he has
fully stated his position on what he
regards as the issues of the cam

Furthermore HomercS S. Cummings,
chairman of the democratic national
committee, will be spokesman for the
President at the convention. No other
inference could be drawn when Mr.

delegates instructed for him in the
democratic convention. That is the
largest number instructed for any OF
the candidates. Gov. Cox of Ohio is
second with seventy -four, including
the delegates from Ohio and Ken
lucky. McAdoo has ten. from Oregon
The rest are scattered among Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, Senator owen
of Oklahoma, Gov. Edwards of New
Jersey. Senator Simmons of North
Carolina. Senator Glass of Virginia
Palmer is contesting for the Georgia
delegates also-his seventy-six votes
are all from Pennsylvania. by the way.
And if he should win the Georgia con-
test, he will go into the convention
with a total of 104 votes.
The situation which confronts the
democratic hosts, therefore, makes the
presidential preferential primary ap-
pear joke. AS in the case OF the re-
publican nomination, the democratic
nomination probably will be settled at
a conference Of the leaders, for a
deadlock seems inevitable in the con-
vention itself, in view of the fact that
it requires two-thirds vote under the
rule of the democratic conventions, to
nominate The only chance of avoid
ing such a deadlock lies in the pos
sibility of the administrations throw
ing it's whole strength to McAdoo and
forcing his nomination through quick
". In that event, again what becomes
~ the presidential preferential pri-
mary plan?
VIII System BE ChanEedf
If there is ever to be presidential
preferential primary system that will
he effective and give the people
chance to register their will, num-
Der Of changes must be made In the
existing law.
In the first place. all the candidates
must be made to go into the primaries
in all the states. or at least IN an ap-
preciable number of them.
In the second place, there must
either be a limit put upon expendi-
lures which may be made In these
primary elections by the candidates
and their supporters, or there must De
a provision for the widest publicity OF
all these campaign expenditures. The
recent investigation into the pre-
convention expenditures of the candi-
dates showed that huge sums were
spent by the friends of some OF the
candidates, notably Wood and Low
den. but it showed also.that constd-
cradle expenditures are necessary II
candidate is going ito make a wide
primary campaign. Even Senator
johnson of California. whose chief
lieutenant. Senator Borah of Idaho,
started the inquiry into excessive
campaign expenditures, discovered
that without funds to spend in per-
fectly legitimate manner he was help
less to conduct an efficient campaign
in some of the states into which he
went.
AS a means Of lessening expendi-
lures, it has been suggested that all
of the state primaries be held on the
same day. This would at least give
the candidates chance to go before
the people at the same time and would
obviate the necessity of making piece
meal campaigns.

.HE presidential preferential
primary plan for the nomina-
ton of candidates of the Var1-

TIME presidential preferential
primary plan for the nomina-
tion of candidates Of the var'-
GUS parties has received Sc
we're setback in the pre-conventlon
campaigns Of republicans and demo-
Gratis and the republican national con-
vention this year. 1t is due to receive
a still further setback in the coming
democratic convention in California.
What. then, is to be the method of the
future? The old convention plan, rep
resentative? Or is it to be the popu-
lar primary with restrictions and OBJ
legations not now contained in the
state laws?
The republican national convention
selected Senator Warren G. Harding
as its nominee for President. Yet
Senator Harding had obtained the
preferential vote in Ohio. and only
there after hard contest with Gen.
Wood. He was a poor third in In
diana, and in New Jersey. where his
name had been entered, he made fran
tic efforts and had it withdrawn. Gov.
Lowden of Illinois won the preferen-
tial primary election in Illinois. but
son were entered his showing was
miserable. Yet in the national con-
vention Gov. Lowden's total vote on
the seventh ballot was 311h, which
was eQualed only by that of Gen.
! Wood prior to the successful drive for
Harding.
On the other hand. Gen. Leonard
+, many states. as had Senator Hiram
johnson of California. They both
made strong showings among the
people. yet the leaders" in the re-
publican party had made up their
minds long before the convention
opened that neither Johnson nor Wood
should be nominated. OF what use to
go to the trouble and expense of pri-
mary elections if the results are to be
disregarded with the completeness
that was shown at Chicago?
McAdoo Kept Out Of Primaries.
Now comes the democratic national
the probable choice for the nominal
tion for President is on the lips of
more people than any other absolute
ly declined to allow his name to go
before the public in the primary cleo
lions in any of the states. He is Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo. and he IL likely
to be nominated. Yet there has been
absolutely no expression of opinion
by the people regarding him. and the
primary laws of the states were de-
signed to bring about just such an
expression; they were designed to
put an end to President making by
political bosses and big interests"
When the democrats assemble In
convention. less than $50 of the 1892
delegates will have been INSTRUCTED"
to support any of the candidates. In
the republican convention. the major
ity of the delegates also were unln-
structed. 1t is inevitable, in such Cir
cumstances that the very thing which
the primaries were designed to pre-
vent will occur.

ment and is expected to result in FUR
ther attempts to remove the suspi-
cion and doubt that grew before the
San Reno parley and which Will

The elections in Germany which
have resulted in the custer from con-
troll of the pro-treaty elements and
assumption Of power of those ele-
ments of German political life who.
since the peace treaty was signed.
have been diligent in denouncing it. are
sufficient cause for the allies to meet
at once and fix their course to meet
possible contingencies. The German
political situation is chaotic, and even
should the present lineup Of parties
consent to the treaty terms and to en-
ter the Spa conference with desire
to abide by allied decisions, the in
dependent socialists and other So
cialists who lean to the disciples of
Lenin. are in sufficient power to undo
, the work Of any government that
may be established in Berlin. Even
Berlin at the moment is not sanguine
Of results and talks of radical revolu-
ton.
Naturally, as have frequently point
ed out, German governmental chaos but
retards fulfilment of allied terms and
inspires disorganization to a point
where but a fraction Of the stipula-
lions of allied nations really can be
enforced.

No one questions either the good
faith or the good intentions OF the
various bureau chiefs who today.
under our present system, are
chiefly responsible for the enor-
nous increase in governmental ex-
penditures. They know that tney
have to ask for far more than they
expect to get in order to get what
they actually need. It is the sys-
tenn that is at fault. and it Is the
system which Congress sought 10
change. The people realize that
these bureau chiefs. having ex-
hausted other avenues OF approach
to the public Treasury, seized upon
the war to obtain enormous IN
creases in appropriations for their
work. And then when the war
ended they took hold of the peace
and reconstruction period In order
to obtain still further advances
over the war period itself.
Congress-, itself subject to criti-
cism because of its approprlations
for rivers and harbors and puoilc
buildings and other pork oarrel
legislation, remains today, under
our present system, the only econ
omizing force in the country. In
the whole history of our national
government, according to Mr..
Kitchin, no administration mas
ever asked that an appropriation
be reduced. All the reducing thae
has been done, all the saving that
has been effected has been enected
through Congress.

Even had the President approved
the bill which was sent to him, 1t
would have been necessary for Con-
gress to take further steps in or
der to make the reform effective.
Fortunately for the country, one
of these was taken at about the
time Mr. Wilson affixed his disap-
prevail on the budget. That was
the passage of the resolution In
the House, sponsored by Mr.. Good,
the very able chairman OF the ap-
propriations committee, concen-
trating in one committee all OF the
Houses appropriating powers.
Hereafter estimates of appropr1a-
lions will be considered in the
light of the whole and on relative
merit, and not without regard to
one another, as in the past The
Senate may take similar step
