grnecful tributo to the vitality In poli

there were fewer states anal state prkle

practice for the politician? of a common?

putting him forward as a Presidential

tised and the favorito son'? managers
were often In a position to make an ad?
vantageous arrangement for the trau**
fer of his FBtB on I Inter ballot !<? some
more powerful candidate.
Mr. Kenyon cites tin* case of William
P. Allison, to whom Iowa's ?Monates
more than OB???? cave their voles in na?
tional conventions. B? was a somewhat
exceptional favorito son. for be enjoyed
a wide Influence In national affairs ami
was well equipped for tbe Presidential
office by long and intimate acquaintnn????**
with the machinery of legislation an?:
administration Hit* iindoobted nralla
bliity made ids candidacy something
nion? than a demonstration of local eon*
lidenee and affection, and it may be
that Mr. Kenyon meant to intimate In
his exr-eodinffly diplomatic statement
that Mr. Cummins poaaesMd qunlltiea
tions w-hieh lifted him, like Senator Al?
lison, above the rack Of local candidates.
Yet to support a rresi?|ential aspirant
chiefly becUUSfl he is "an lowan of
whom th?* state may well bo proud'' is
to put him back in the category in
which so many local <o]ohrities bat?
figureil for a time In the balloting In

It is ii"t pertinent to complain tha

just ground for such action, for the res
-??on that in fact do Specific ground Is
required though if it were, not Russti

Tho President did n??t specify the
cause of abrogation which fhe Prime

one. thai it was no longer fully rospon
