By Gilson Gardner
WASHINGTON, D. C... May 2C
— A thousand delegates—one del
egate for every 100,000 people—
go to make up a national politi
cal convention.
These delegates meet, deliber
ate, and by ballot choose some
man to stand as the party.
candidate for president and vice
president.
Sl't'H IS THE THEORY.
In practice, about 990 dele
gates are present
to furnish a set
ting, while the
other ten do the
deliberating and
choosing.
Sometimes the
whole thousand
are made scen
ery, the choice
baring been
made by public
sentiment befotg
the conventions
meets.
An example of
this wus the
convention in
1 irardner v h l'a''(> I|lhiil
which nominat
ed McKlnley for his second term
and chose Roosevelt as vice pres
idential candidate.
The only uncertainty in that
convention was the choice of the
vice president, and unite a good
deal of dramatic Interest was de
! veloped over the fight of Tom
i Piatt to foist Hoo—Tilt on the
! convention against the hitter's
wishes.
Another example -if this kind
of convention was the one which
nominated Roosevelt for his sec
ond term.
This fight stinted mouths be
fore the convention met when
Roosevelt announced that those
not for him were against liim and
hy the time the convention as
sembled there were enough "de
clared" delegates lo make his re
nonilnation a certainty.
This Is the kind of convention
Woodrow Wilson will have at St.
I^onis June 14.
It has all been decided that he
is to be nominated, and the only
uncertainty is that which will
surround the particular wording
of the platform declarations,
with a hare possibility that Tom
Marshall will not be the unani
mous choice for vice president, In
which case Senator Robert 1,.
Owen of .Oklahoma may contest
for that honor.
(Juite different from this
kind of a convention is the
one which will meet in Chi
cago under republican aus
pices.
The lalter resembles in
some ways several historic
conventions, like those which
nominated Blame, Garfield
and gave Cleveland bis sec
ond nomination.
These were protracted and
uncertain, and the nomina
tion when finally made was
news tn all the country.
In this so-called "old-fashion
ed" convention the outcome is
the result of back-room confer
ences benveen political leaders,
the delegates being puppets.
Often these conferences are ac
companied by secret agreements
worked out later In the distribu
tion of spoils, the foreign diplo
matic appointments and big fed
eral offices at the disposal of the
chief executive.
This kind of a convention is
dear to the heart of the profes
sional politician.
It exaggerates and magnifies
his power.
The growth of popular primar
ies of late years has made con
ventions of the uncertain type
less common. IT WAS SUP
POSED FOUR YEARS AGO
THAT THERE NEVER AGAIN
WOULD BE A CONVENTION OF
THAT SORT.
In the uncertain conven
tion, oratory comes to play a
larger part. The delegates
are open to persuasion.
In this connection is re
called the famous speech of
coi. Robert O. Ingersoll,
