Democratic Victory Seen M Selection of,Chicago As
 Setting For Contention
Party Has Been Victorious in Each Instance When Both Parties Held Their Conventions in Same Cities-l852 and 1884 Conventions Recalled

Washington.-By the choice of Chicago as the convention city for both political parties this year, the Illinois State Register sees an indi- cation of democratic victory at the election in November. It says:
 'If' there is anything in the psy- chology of conventions, democrats have abundant cause to rejoice in the choice of Chicago. On only two other occasions have both conven- tions been held in the same city. and on both of those occasions the democracy won in the ensuing elections. Both major parties met at Baltimore in 185e, the demo- crats, nominating Franklin Pierce and the whig national convention nominating Winfield Scott. In 1884

The business of starting fires for the purpose of getting the insur- ance one has in a building is at tracting attention of the author ities in Waterbury. It would be we'll, too, while this matter is be- fore the public to make an effort to make youngsters sensible to the fact that starting brush fires Is at- tended with much risk and that those who make a practice of 1t are running chances of getting into serious trouble.
 This would make good subject for a talk in places where boys meet In large numbers and Il would be no mistake to refer to 1t now and then in the home. Boys start fires without bestowing a thought on what damage they may do, but that does not make amends for what hauuens.

CHANGING RULES

There is much force in the cry that it is unsportsmanlike to seek a change of the rules in any con- test after the struggle has begun. The Roosevelt leaders who launched that Chicago drive on the two thirds rule found that out.
 Only by unanimous consent could that have been done, and how could there be unanimity' where one contestant would be virtually made winner by the change to the prejudice of the hopes of the many low score men? re t4
 Which suggests that the party may drag on perhaps another hun dred years sunder the two -thirds rule unless some now indiscernible device to efface it suggests itself There is only one obvious way out
 If the Democrats should elect a president. and follow the habit of both parties in renominating him to succeed himself. the chance to strike out that rule without injury to any mans chances would present itself. .lis a rsf snr nisi
 The two- thirds rule could have no bearing on renominating con- ventions deliberations. It would not apply. yet it has been used even in such circumstances, in the few times the Democrats have had a chance to renominate an incurn- bent president. ws
 There is one other possible way, it would seem-a referendum back to the sovereign political authority in democracy, the voter.
