SMITH MEN FLII
TWO-THIRDS RULE
Supporters of New York Gov
ernor Favor Change in
Convention Custom.
Supporter* of Gov. Alfred E. Smith
rs New York for the Democratic nomi j
nation for President are hammering
♦he two-thirds rule for nominations at
3>emocratic national conventions. Rep
resentative Sol Bloom, Democrat, of
New York, in a statement issued last
night calls upon the Democrats to do
mvsv with the two-thirds rule and
predicts continued defeat for the party
unless it adopts majority rule and
pulls together.
In ]924 the supporters of William
Gibbs McAdoo. then the leading candi
date for the Democratic nomination,
were vociferous in their demands for
a majority rule in making nomina
tions for President and Vice Presi
dent. At that time the opponents of
MeAdoo, who rallied to Gov. Smith,
hung on to the two-thirds rule as to
e life preserver. The boot is on the
other leg today.
Representative Bloom naively ad
mits that “even Democrats generally
agree that, the country over. Demo
crats are somewhat less numerous
than Republicans.”
Mr. Bloom insists, however, that!
the Democrats underestimate their j
own strength—“that is if we vote
solidly.”
Discussing the two-thirds rule and
its effect, Mr. Bloom said: “Majority
rule, with no majority of less than
two-thirds counting as a majority, is
not majority rule at all. It is mi
nority veto of the majority. There is
no logic in a two-thirds rule. It
might just as well be a nine-tenths
or a 100 per cent rule. Os course no
such preponderance can be expected
of any candidate.”
The two-thirds rule forces a com-;
promise and compromises are not in- j
spiring, Mr. Bloom said. A com
promise candidate under such a rule
is likely not to be the first, second, j
or even the dozenth choice of any-!
body, he continued. If a real major- |
Jty candidate has been defeated his j
friends naturally feel that he ought'
to have been nominated and that they j
have done a rank injustice.
"It’s difficult for a beaten majority, !
following a Democratic national con- j
vention, to shout enthusiastically, j
•hurrah.’ Now let’s take off our coats I
end help the minority,” said Mr.'
Bloom.
The two-thirds rule is no more or I
less than a veto placed in the hands |
of the Southern States at the Demo
cratic national convention, Mr. Bloom
insists, who fear that the North may
name the Democratic candidate for
President, although the South must
put up the majority of the electoral
votes for him.
Mr. Bloom predicted that a waiver
of the two-thirds rule would bring
such results at the polls that the
South would never again insist upon
It.
“It would be the surrender by the
South of an unfair veto power,” he
said.

Honest Driver Wins.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 23 <4>).—
W. A. Bearing, haled into police j
headquarters for violating a parking
ordinance, told the lieutenant he had
to go into a store to collect a bill and
eimply took a chance on getting ar- j
rested.
“There’s at least one honest auto
mobile driver,” the lieutenant said,
and tore up the ticket.

Some people say our pastor pur

Is a man of learning, with words at
his command; his mind is keen, dis
cerning, his eloquence is grand. But
he is always talking of most unpleas
ant things; of modern customs shock

Slways is upbraiding the evils of our
times, and evermore parading long
lists of social crimes. He roams, in
his discourses, afar from Holy Writ, j
until he tired and hoarse is—and
fails to make a hit. For we are tired
of hearing the old, old tale of crime.
Os robbers domineering, of slums and
81l their slime. All through the week
We re reading of novelties in sin, of
roqkless youth proceeding to palaces
of gin; of grafters wTio are stealing
the people's hard earned francs, and
stories blood-congealing of bandits rob
bing banks. Os sin in lofty places
where virtue should abide, of painted,
powdered faces that do much evil (
hide. And when to church we teeter
Upon the Sabbath morn, we’d hear of
Something sweeter than vice and vic
tims shorn. We’d hear about the
Shepherds who watch their flocks by
night, to scare away the leopards and
creatures that affright. We’d like to
have a vision of islands of the blest.
Where we, in groves elysian, may
through the ages rest. But no, we
hear him thunder in tones that loudly
ping, "This is the age of plunder,
licentiousness is king!” And so we
think of hiring a parson mild and j
meek, who isn't bent on firing a |
broadside once a week.
