THE KEYNOTE.

Senator Lodges keynote speech be-
fore IN Republican convention yes
terday was true to form.If that speech
really is the keynote. then the keynote
is Anything. to discredit Wilson"
But what else could be expected of
Senator Lodge? He surely could not
be expected to stand before a con
vention of his own party n discredit
himself, md as his whole career In the
present congress has been based on
the sole object of discrediting the
President there was nothing else for
the senator to do but pass It on to the
Republican party.
But try as he may. the peace treaty
IS not going to be the sole issue in
this campaign. Many persons who
thoroughly believe In the League of
Nations and who place the present
chaotic condition of the world square
~ up to the United States senate. are
ton. As a matter of fact. the Repub-
Iicans themselves dare not go on rec
ord as being opposed to the League of
Nations. To save the faces of the
Republican senators they will have to
repudiate the peace treaty as Pres
ident Wilson brought it from Paris,
but In substance the treaty wilr have
10 be adopted.
When it comes 10 Mexico, it is a
favorite sport of the Wilson enemies to
lambast the President for the way he
has handled the situation. No doubt
it Is an awful mess, but if we remem-
Der rightly, President Taft didn't do
much better. Judging from the key
note as sounded by Senator Lodge.
a. tough job has been cut out for the
next President, should he be a Repub-
lican.
To go into Mexico and restore order
will cost many American lives, billions
of dollars and consequently more
taxes. If the Republican party is
ready to assume this responsibility it
does not say so. 1t is all well enough
to condemn, but when it comes to fur-
nishing a solution to the problem that
seems to be different.
Senator Lodges keynote speech was
not disappointing. Knowing the man
who delivered 1t and the circum-
stances under which it was delivered
Is Is lust what was to be expected.
People don't take much stock in
promises these days. 1t is perform
ences only that count.

lupkeep of these streets? Included in
the list OF streets to be resurfaeed b.
the city this summer are Prospect
street. Sheridan street and Market
street. Both Prospect and Sheridan
streets and a part of Market street are
included in route No. 4 of the state
highway system and therefore. accord
ing TO the state engineer, come under
state control This being the case,
should not the state instead OF the city
pay the cost Of resurfacing these
streets?
Incidentally. it is to be noted that
patented material is specified for the
re%surfacing of these streets. Why the
patented substance and no other? Has
the fact that the State Highway Com
mission will have nothing to do with
patented material. insisting that their
be free and open to all, anything
to do with the city doing this job in
stead of the state commission? With
a local tax rate of 400 the highest in
tho county, the people of Perth Am
boy are in no mood to bear the ex-
pense of paving the state highway
using a high priced patented material
for the job when the expense should
be borne by the state and when
a material just as good might be used
that would cost less.

Story OF Democratic
Conventions To Date
BY A. III. ~VANDENBERG
The Convention of 1860.
BY A. III. v-ANDENBERG

When the Democratic National
Convention assembled on April 20,
1860, in Charleton South Carolina
(meeting for the first time in the
SOUTH the Party hal already fallen
prey to hat Irresistible conflict" that
was leading the country into civil
wa- 1t was irr~econcilably divided on
the question of slavery and the ter
ritories. Meanwhile, stephen A.
Douglas of Illinois, whose memora-
BILE debates with Lincoln had given
him a fame commensurate with that
of Lincoln. reached the climax OF
his political career at the m
when his Party had entered pom the
throes of temporary dissolution.
The Charleston Convention was in
session ten days. with Francis B..
t1ournoy, Arkansas, as temporary
chairman and Caleb Cushman, Mass
chusetts, permanent chairman. From
first to last it was involved in a bitter
wrangle. Threats Of boiling began
to appear pm the third day and after
a long fight over resolutions was
ended by a close vote. and before the
balloting for nominees began a lareg
portion of the Southern delegates had
withdrawn. The delegates who re-
manned adopted the traditional two
thirds by a vote of 141 to liz. AS
ia consequence. Douglas-leading all
the way-could not be nominated.
After 81 futile ballots, the Conven-
tion adjourned to meet at Baltimore
on June IS.
At Baltimore when It became ap-
parent that Douglas would be nomi-
mated, the few remaining Southern
delegates organized a second boilers
convention and nominated John G.
Breckenridge of Kentucky for Presi-
dent and Joseph Lane of Oregon, for ]
Vice President. The original boilers
from the Charleston Convention, |
meeting at Richmond, Virginia, made |
these same nominations. !
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Conven-
ton proceeded to finish its dubious
toll. Douglas was nominated for
president on two ballots-makiug 50
in all. Benjamin Fitzpatrick of Ala
bama was nominated for Vice Pres |
ident on a single ballot. He declined |
the nomination two days later, and
the National Committee filled the
vacancy by naming Herschel V. John
son of Georgia. |
During the Baltimore gathering, 1t |
Is an interesting sidelight-perhapS |
prophetic-that the temporary floor
above the parquet of the theatre |
gave way in the center n the del
egates found themselves precipitated
into a human maelstrom.
In the subsequent campaign. Lin
coin was elected. Douglas. with l.
375.157 popular votes, secured zut IL /
votes: while Breckenridge, I
with but S45,763 popular votes receiv-
ed II electoral votes.
