ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Kt|ister if Detit.
i The west aide papers seem to
be unanimous in their praise of
R. E. Echols, candidate for Con-
gressman-at-large, subject to tbe
Democratic primaries in August,
and while there are no regular
east and west aide candidates it
is quite likely that the voters
will try and mix their choioes up
somewhat. Such being the case,
Mr. Echols, who hails from Elk
City, should poll quite a heavy
vote on tbe east side.

Fry as u candidate for Register of Deeds, sub

The Two Thirds Rule
Democratic convention rules

ocratic than those of the other
The two-thirds rule of the
Democrats is, of course, distinct-
ly opposed to majority govern-
ment. So is their “unit rule,”
which permits a state convention
to direct that the delegates to
the national gathering shall vote
as a unit for the candidate favor-
ed by a majority of the delega-
tion.

subject to the action of the Democrat primary
has change the result in several
Democratic conventions, but it
has only once prevented the nom-
ination of a man who had an actu-
al majority at the outset. That
was in 1884, when Van Buren as-
pired to be nominated a second
time by the democrats. The
two-thirds rule defeated Van
Buren and the story is worth re
calling.
Texas was knocking at the
doors of the Union, and the south
wanted its admission. Van Bu-
ren wanted to keep that issue out
of the fight. After many dele-
gates had been chosen who fa-
vored the president, the story
gained pnblicity that he and Clay
—who was going to be the Whig
candidate—had secretly agreed
to ignore the Texas question.
When this became known, short-
ly before the Democratic conven-
tion, it caused a huge sensation.
The southern delegates instruct-
ed for Van Buren did not want
an anti-Texas man nominated.
Despite Texas and everything
else, the president had a major-
ity, and his forces tried desper-
ately to repeal the two-thirds
rule. They failed, and though
Van Buren received a majority
of thirteen votes on first ballot,
he never had a chance to win.
Delegates who felt that they
must obey instructions on first
ballot, but who were praying
that the New York man might
lose, refused to repeal the rule,
and used it to defeat him. After
the first vote he lost regularly,
and on the eighth James Knox
Polk was nominated.
This, likewise, was the first
time that a dark horse had can-
tered away with the purse in a
national convention. Polk was
the darkest of the dark ones. Not
a vote was cast for him till the
eighth ballot, when he got forty-
four. Down to that time Van
Buren had been regularly losing
and Lewis Cass as regularly gain-
ing. On the seventh it looked as
if Cass was sure to land the prize,
but the sudden projection of the
Tennessee man into the situation
stampeded the convention. Polk
was in reality Jackson's candi-
date, and Old Hickory probably
had planned the coup with much
care. Anyhow, the convention
riotously broke away from all
moorings on tbe ninth ballot, and
Polk was nominated.
to trace the movement, or rather
have not tried to, hence are un-
able to pick out a real progress-
ive from a demagogue.
Some of the principles of the
progressives came from Switzer-
land, some from Australia, and
soon. The present movement
started with the Farmer’jS Alli-
ance in the late 80’sand early 90’s.
The farmers first organized in
the form of a secret society and
their first candidates were chos-
en while still in this form. Their
platforms from the first have
called for the initiative and refer-
endum, direct election of sena-
tors, the secret ballot, and a de-
mand for the rule of the people
in all things. The movement was
next sponsored by the People’s
Party, a political organization a
little stronger than the Farmer’s
Alliance. Tbe People’s Party
became so strong that it polled
ten per cent of the electoral vote
the last time Cleveland ran.
Simpson and Peffer were its
greatest leaders. The princi-
ples of the new party “took”i
with the Democrats of the south j
and west to such an extent that
the Democratic organization, un-
der the leadership of Mr. Bryan,
turned to them in 1896, thus add-
ing increased prestige to the
movement. This is the point at
which the Cleveland men became
estranged and explains why they
have voted the Republican ticket
ever since though professing
themselves to be Democrats. j
Perhaps the movement would
have stopped here had it not been
for the courage and persistence
of one man. This man conclud-
ed for some reason that the new,
principles would sound good un-1
der the Republican label and he
has worked unceasingly to re j
form his party and get it toadopt
them. He has succeeded to the
extent that there are at present
about ten progressive Republic- i
an senators and a number of con-
gressmen. Is Roosevelt the
man? Far be it from such. He
and the real progressive never.
have been on good terms. La
Follette is the progressive in the
Republican party and the coun-
try owes him a debt that it will
probably never repay, for insist-
ing on a clean house in his own
party and thus bringing to the
attention of Republicans tbe cor-
ruption that existed.
A study of the movement, and
a study of Roosevelt makes it,

was held in tbe office of McOarty

purpose of discussing the occu
pation tax which was levied by
the board of trustees last week.
While numerous court decisions
go to prove that the enforce j

proposition, it was the feeling of
those present that in as much as j
the city needed the funds the1
