Governor Roosevelt wired his supporters at the national conven- tion to cease their efforts to abro- gate the two thirds convention rule, indicating that he was conf dent of the nomination without re- sorting to action to change it.
 It was said here that Roose- welt made this move in the inter- est of harmony onI,.
 A cheering demonstration ensued as orators today lambasted the re- publicans, and asked for prohi- bition repeal. The convention be- gan their session this morning peacefully enough. and even more so after Roosevelt order on the two-thirds rule was received.

that developed several months ago

was soon thereafter removed from the
office. According to report, Farris
claims the shortage was due to an err

Enitnrtal


Next Tuesday, for the fortieth time.
the United States will elect a presi-
dent, Thirty-one men have held this
high office, nine having been twice
elected. Only thirty-two of the presi-
dental elections, however, have been
decided by popular vote, in our pres
ent fashion. For that matter. there
is no provision in the constitution of
the United States under which the
people are either required or permit
ted to vote for presidential electors.
In the early days of the republic the
idea that everybody should have a
vote for president never occurred to
the gentlemen who conducted the Rev
olution and framed the Declaration of
independence and the constitution of
the United States. Those things were
left to the states, and the constitution
reads that each state shall appoint,
in such manner as its legislature NAV
direct, the required number of presi-
Dental electors. 1t has been said that
today, if any state legislature wished
to, it could pass law repeating The
privilege of its citizens to vote for
presidential electors and have them
appointed by the governor or chosen
by the legislature
Presidents Washington, Adams and
Jefferson were all elected under the
old provisions of the constitution
changed in 1904, whereby the candi-
date who got the most votes was presi-
dent and the one who got the next
highest number was vice president.
The present party convention system
OF nominating candidates and pledg-
ing presidential electors to their sup
port is only little over a hundred
years old. In that hundred years state
after state has constantly extended the
privilege of voting for president until
ii has become such a commonplace
everyday affair that few. especially Of
the younger voters, realize that it is
not an inherent constitutional right
but distinctly privilege 1t is an hon
or conferred upon the ordinary man
and Woman-an honor which carries
with it corresponding responsibility
II is not privilege to be exercised
lightly. The presumption is that every
voter will go to the polls with the feel
ing that he is discharging a solemn
duty, for which he has prepared him
self by intelligent thought and exam
nation of the programs and policies Of
the opposing parties.
We fear that few voters in these days
take their responsibility as seriously
as they should We urge everyone
who goes to the polls next Tuesday tc
vote in the light of his or her own
deepest and innernost convictions
Only if every voter does just that will
the result reflect the intelligent judg-
ment of the American people.
