Shelving the Unit Rule

The unit rule--an instrument of
bossism-was set aside by the Re
publican party in the national con-
vention of 1876. 1t survived in full
vigor in the Democratic party until
1912. That year the Baltimore CON
vention stumbled into modification
Of it. This year at San Francisco
the restrictions on individual action
have been still further relaxed.
The Democratic party formerly
carried the doctrine Of state rights
to the extreme Of denying any rights
to minor voting divisions within the
states. The state was held to be the
unit and the will Of any body repre-
scnting the state was recognized as
supreme and conclusive. The Re
publicans broke entircly away from
that theory by declaring the Con-
gress district to be the real unit Of
representation in, national conven-
tions. Practice, in fact, began to
make it unit liz Democratic nation
al conventions as we'll When the
primary system came in many states
adopted laws requiring the direct
election of delegates by districts.
This was a violation Of the conccp-
ton that a states representation
should be controlled absolutely by
the central state organization
In some states party conventions
were abolished and no central body
was left to give mandate to the
delegates. In 1912 certain Ohio dis
trict delegates wanted to break
away from the main body and defed
unit rule sought to be imposed by
the majority Of the delegation. The
convention ruled that they were free
to vote as they pleased, since no
state convention had instructed
them or directed them to observe the
unit rule.
The Rules Committee at San
Francisco has confirmed this deci-
sion by providing that the unit rule
shall not apply tc delegates elected
in primaries under mandatory
state law, except where by law the
delegates are subject to instruction
from state convention.
The New York law permits unof-
fetal state conventions to be held.
Mr.. Murphy has cleverly employed
the unofficial convention to bind the
delegates to do his bidding. But 1t
is an absurdity to let the voters Of
the Congress districts elect dele
gates of their own in a primary and
then allow delegate freedom of &C
tion to be destroyed by an unofficial
state convention organized by the
New-York tribune., 1920-07-02
To End One-Man Rule

The Republican campaign will
stress the party's pledge to restore
constitutional methods of govern
ment. The country is nauseated
with one-man rule. Senator Hard
ing promises, If elected President, to
Danish personal autocracy and re-
establish party responsibility on q
broader basis.
For a time, undoubtedly, public
opinion took kindly to an aggrandizc-
ment Of the Presidential office.
Twenty years ago it was the fashion
to talk about "the overshadowing
Senate" 1t was easy to excite
jealousy Of the Senate's power and
leadership. In a conflict between
the President and the Senate the
public unhesitatingly stood with the
President.
The extent Of the reaction from.
that partiality has been disclosed in
the treaty controversy. The public,
undecided at first, soon swung
strongly to the Senate's side. 1t
felt instinctively that one-man power
in the White House had been over
done, and that the Senate was sup
plying a needed corrective.
Mr.. Wilson broke down trying to
expand Presidential activities be-
yond all precedent. Most Americans
sensed that when he went to Paris
to impose his will on Europe he was
going beyond the bounds Of safety.
He broke down physically doing
work which could have been done
to much better advantage by others.
He further overstrained the powers
of the Presidency by seeking to deny
the Senate it's proper share in the
exercise of the treaty making power.
His ambition to exalt the Prcsiden-
tial Office into a Casarship over
leaped itself.
The President was for years "the
recluse of the White House." He
accepted no counsel which didn't
echo his own opinion. He admitted
no equals. He took with him to
Paris as a peace commissioner his
official Secretary of State and his
unofficial grand vizier. But before
he finished there he had practically
bowstringed both Of them He has
agents and messengers to-day at
San Francisco, but no confidants or
fellow workers.
One-man rule on the scale on
which he has attempted it has
rubbed the country raw. The public
longs for an abatement Of the ex-
travagances Of Casardom and a re-
turn to the wholesome balances and
democratic give and take of the Con-
stitution. The Republican party is
wise in offering simple, common
sense remedies to an overdosed
patient.

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l am especially gratificd to see
the stand you take on prohibition in
your splendid editorial of Saturday
June &c. The prediction Of selfish and
class interests have not been verified.
In my own town the drunkards are
earning money, with happy grins on
their faces. Oh! if your eyes could be-
hold these men, as 7 do, from day to
day your heart would be thrilled, and
you would, l am sure, throw yourself
and the mighty influence of The Trib-
une into the battle for country, home,
wife, mother and child.
We stand upon the threshold of 3
campaign in which the heart and con-
science of the nation arc to be searched
as they have not been searched for
half century-indecd, as they have
never been searched in all our history
as sovereign people.
The clean womanhood and the fine
manhood of America are highly re-
solved they will preserve unimpaired
Tor themselves and their children In
unsullied purity and unstained integ-
rity the priceless heritage of Constitu-
tional law and legal equality.

A Chastened Milk Consumer
the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the EDITOR Of The Tribune
Sir: The brief notice in this morn
lng's paper in regard to the increase in
the price Of milk is most interesting 70
US, and no doubt to the rest of the
poor, suffering public.
1t is useless to protest, of course so
1t remains only for US to commend the
magnanimity Of the milk companies
who, rather than put too much of q
burden on the poor of this city, are
wiling to risk bankruptcy and raise
the price of milk only 10 that Of last
summer, in spite Of increased cost of
labor and operation. We feel verv
thankful to these companies for their
Kindness
But some place we remember read
ing of the refusal to get all the milk
available from the farmers, as it would
mean too much work and lower prices
Also we have heard farmers say that
the increase has not helped them-the
producers-eo any great extent.
But we apologize for reading and
listening to and, above all, remember
ing just at this time information such
as this, and once more we thank the
presidents and directors of the COM
panies for their consideration.
