THE FULLY ORGANIZED PARTY MACHINE

BY HON. JESSE MACY.
Pur historical study of party organiza
tion has been directed dielfly to Its nom-
touting .function, which Is Its most strik-r
m& iuiu upjareuuv iu must juipurcani
purpose. But to nominate candidates Id
the business of only one section of the
Tarty machinery a section of only tem
porary duration, and called into being
for that specific purpose.
Party Committees.
The other branch of party organiza
tion consists of permanent committees
annually appointed by the several pri
maries, caucuses or conventions for the
various election areas. There ia no uni
form system. Some states have a party
committee for every election area one
tfor each township, each city -ward or pre.
clnct, each city, county, district, and for
the state. Others have committees for
tHo larger areas only. Every state has its
mate committee for each party and us
members of the .National party commit
tee. Within the state or the National
committee a small executive committee
really hoMs most of the power and does
most of the -work.
These committees have charge of all
party business except the nomination of
candidates. They rak,e and pay out
money for party purposes, organize pub
lic meetings, employ speakers, print and
circulate political tracts and articles, look
after the registration of voters and nat
uralisation and enrollment of immigrants,
arrange for each election the plan of
campaign, call together at the proper
times the nominating bodies, conduct tho
canvass,! provide and distribute the tick
ets vat the polls. Often the regular com
mittees are assisted at election time by
others called campaign committees, ap-.
SJolnted for the purpose.
lAsta' of the legal voters In any lo
cality are prepared in all the states by
"public officials, and persons whose names
are not found on those lists may be de
nied voting privileges. Announcements
am published before elections stating
pbaces and hours for registration.
Local Party Organization.
Outside of New England the party com
mittee of each village and town calls
the party primary, or caucus, or primary
election (which are different names ror
the same thing), to mnKe nominations
,:for the local offices and to choose dele
gates to the conventions to be held in the
larger areas. All party voters who reside
within the ward or town for which the
primary acts are entitled to membership
in the primary-
Except In the "large cities, party ques
tions often do not enter into elections
of local officers, but the citizens divide
upon matters of purely local interest, such
as the Lulldlng of a schoolhojse or a
street-car line. The candidates nominat
ed by tho party first holding a primary
or caucus may be accepted by the op
posing party, and voted against only by
those Individuals opposed to the local
policy which they represent.
In New England and In other parts of
tho country having the New England
type of town government, the annual
town meeting fills the place of the pri
mary and nominates candidates for local
..offices and .delegates to the party conven--tlohs.
This Is often done without any
previous understanding, but sometimes
there are self-announcements, and some
times the private ''parlor caucus" de
cides upon the names to be proposed to
the voters.
Any party voter may propose names
to be voted upon, but the local commtt-
e sometimes brings forward a list of
candidates. This is regarded as rather
t on abuso of the committee's powera
In the cities party lines are more
. closely drawn and usually reach to the
jninuiesx ramiucations of the publlp serv
ice. Tho election unit is the ward or
.precinct, each usually having its com
mittee for each party, by whom the pri
mary Js called. The ward primaries elect
Jie officers of the ward and delegates
tto district conventions in the city (If such
there are), and to the city convention,
Which nominates the officers elected by
iho whole city.
Conduct of the Primaries.
The chairman of the local committee
usually calls the meeting to order and
Tcads the committee's call. A chairman
md a secretary having then been elect
edusually viva voce the caucus pro
ceeds to the nominations cf candidates
for tho various places to be filled. Names
oi a number of citizens may be brought
forward and their comparative merits
discussed before "the meeting. If choice
is to bo by ballot a committee Is ap
pointed to receive and count the bal
lots and the official voting lists are re
ferred to to determine whoo votes may
be accepted. Almost Invariably, in order
to avoid waste of time In securing a ma
jority, those who receive the largest
number of votes on the flint ballot are
declared nominated. Frequently, when
party rules or legal enactments do not re
quire a ballot, choice Is made by ac
clamation. Each delegate receives a
statement of his election, signed" by the
chairman and the secretary of the
caucus. This Is called his "credential"
and entitles him to sit In the convention
to which he Is delegated.
A caucus mny "Instruct" its delegates
to vote for the state candidate and may
require -candidates nominnted for the
state Legislature to pledge themselves
'to vote, if elected, for a certain person
for United States Senator.
In many of the states the primaries
are actually ejections merely, no oppor
tunity bein$r given for the discussion of
men or measures. The declon as to
candidates then takes place in the com
mittee or other private gathering or local
politicians before the voters assemble in
tho primary. A primary or caucus may
elect, delegates to as many as six or
more annual conventions, and In those
years when a Presidential election oc
curs the number lsv larger still.
The Crnvrford County Cnncun.
An exceptional form of the primary
originated in Crawford County, Pennsyl
vania, and Is called by the county name.
It does away -with nominating conven
tions of delegates and permits the voters
of the "party to vote by ballot at the polls
.for their party candidates. This first
flection is conducted like a regular legal
election.' but tho voters are those of a
single party only. The system Is used In
eomo of tho counties and districts In a
dozen or more of the states.
The Cdnnty Convention.
Tho county committee for each party
calls a count' convention and specific
the number of delegates; to which each
election, but the voters .are those o a
let? chairman calls the meeting to order
and reads the "call." A temporary chair
man and secretary are then chosen and
a committee on credentials appointed.
These last examine the credentials of the
delegates, and in case there are two sets
of delegates from the same town or city
claiming seats in the convention they re
port upon the contest to the convention,
which -usually adopts the report as &
matter of course.
Generally the temporary organization is
made permanent and the convention,
having appointed a committee to count
tho ballots, next proceeds ro nominate
candidates for county offices. Candidated
ore announced In "nominating" speeches"
setting forth their qualifications. Nomina
tions are sometimes made by acclamation,
as there is often no contest in a county
convention and the ballot may be dis
pensed with.
"Wfhen fiot otherwise chosen, a county
committee for the ensuing year is elected
by the convention. The 'nominations hav
ing been made and routine business at
tended to, the -convention adjourns sine
die. ;
District Conventions.
Casdldat&sXorl the lowerhouso of-Hhe
uaicu oy primaries, in otnera by county
tuuvcuuuia ana in omers Dy represents.'
live district conventions. In some .cities
Aldermen are nominated by Aldermanlo
district conventions. Candidates for the
State Senate are nominated by Senatorial
district conventions. Still other districts
nominate candidates for Congress. Their
conventions meet each alternate year,
and every fourth year It is as a rule the
same area which chooses a candidate for
Presidential Elector and nominates dele
gates to the National Presidential con
vention. The procedure -of the various
district conventions is. similar to that of
the county convention.
' Names of candidates for the two houses
of the State Legislature do not appear on
the "state ticket," which includes only the
names of those officers voted for by the
people of the whole state.
In a few of the older states w find cer
tain state officials, called Executive Coun
cilors (a re;ic of Colonial days), elected
annually and nominated by delegates to
Councilor contentions.
The State Convention.
The "state ticket" Is nominated by the
state convention, which Js called by the
state central committee of the party.
The call states time and place of meet
ing and the number of delegates to which
each area to be represented Is entitled.
The strength of the party in the local
areas determines, to some extent, at least,'
the number of delegates sent.
The opening of a state convention is
much l'.ko that of a county convention,
but there is usually no formal temporary
organization, the chairman, and secretary
of the central committee acting until a
permanent organization Js effected. Tho
chairman Is empowerodT by vote of the
delegates, to appoint committees on ere-!
denials, on permanent organization and on?
resolutions. , The last committee is really
In general selected and holds a meeting
before the convention meets. The per
manent officers are president, secretary
and assistants, with a large number of
honorary vice-presidents and secretaries
appointed solely in official recognition of
party services.
The president having been conducted to
the chair Is found to have come equipped
with a carefully prepared address upon
the Issues of the campaign. When this
has been delivered the report of the com-"
mlttee on credentials is made and ques
tions of contested seats decided. Then
comes the report of the committee on
resolutions, which ia the party "plat
form" of tho state. This report Is usu
ally prepared by leading members of the
party, and Is a matter of much Interest.
Generally it deals with subjects of Na
tional Import and Indorses or criticises the
existing National Administration.
After the adoption of the platform, the
chair appoints a committee to attend to
the balloting (a committee whose mem
bership has been agreed upon long be
fore by the central committee). In for
mal "nominating speeches" candidates for
the office of Governor are then brought
before the convention. If there Is more
than one candidate, ballots are cast, and
the successful aspirant usually receives
a majority of all the votes cast. It Is
customary for the friends of defeated as
pirants to move that the election be
made "unanimous." In a similar, manner
the remaining candidates are selected.
The two Presidential Electors-at-lanre
In each state every fourth year are nom
inated by the regular state convention; or
(If no state officers are to be nominated
that year) by a convention called for the
purpose. Sometimes all the electors are
nominated by the state convention.
It Is customary for the successful can
didates for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor
to be escorted to the platform before
fhe convention closes that they may be
Introduced to the assembly and may de
clare in Drier speeches their acceptance
pt tho honors thrust upon .them.
Necessarily the routine work of fhe
state convention is "cut and dried" be
forehand by the central committee. The
permanent presiding officer, having been
selected some time before the assembling
of the convention, Is able to prepare a
suitable address, which may be of real
Importance, and the committee upon reso
lutions Is also given time to indite a
document which shall adequately repre
sent the attitude of the party upon ques
tions of National consequence. But too
often the committee carries Its action be
yond tho necessary or desirable limit ahd
unduly influences the choice of candidates,
so that the "state machine" becomes not
the servant, but the despotic master of the
party. This has been sadly exemplified
in recent years in New York and Pennsyl
vania, not to mention less striking in
stances. State conventions held In "off years"
that Is, years In which no Governor or
Lieutenant-Governor, but only the minor
state officers are chosen excite far les
Interest and accomplish their duties with
less formality. In some cases nomina
tions of state officers on off years are left
entirely to the state central committee
or are referred by the convention to a
committee which reports names to be vot
ed upon by the convention. Sometimes
one of these methods Is followed even
when a full state ticket Is to be elected.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island elect a
Governor annually.
Minor State Offlcers.
The officials of the State Legislature
the Speaker of the House and the Presi
dent of the Senate (In eome Instances the
Lieutenant-Governor Is ex-offlclo president
of the Senate) with the various clerks and
other minor offlcers are elected by the
members of the houses themselves, and
are nominated for each chamber by a
caucus of the party members of that
chamber. The caucuses of the party hav
ing a majority In the State Legislature
often excite great Interest and develop
sharp competition among the friends of
the several candidates. Especially Is this
true of the contest for the speakership
of the House, as that position carries with
it the appointment of all the committees.
The President of the Senate has In some
of the states corresponding power.
The Legislative caucus appoints, also, a
caucus committee to have charge of party
interests within the chamber. Occasion
ally the caucus Is called to meet for the
purpose of considering the policy of the
party respecting questions before the Leg.
islature. JESSE MACT.

Important branch lines to connect with
the Cape-Cairo trunk will have been con
structed or be ner completion. In the
south, -the line from Johannesburg will
have joined that at Bulawayo; Bula
wayo, again, will be connected with a
line running Ttsht across, country to Wal
flsch Bay, Jn German West Africa, In
Central Africa the trunk line will con
nect with German and British lines run
ning to the east coast: and It is only
reasonable to'cuppose that by that time
a Mne or lines through Belgian territory
will connect or be in close touch with the
Cape-to-Calro route. And that the trunk
line will be a paying concern there i3 no
reason to doubt.
Irr the Rhodskm section already built
the returns have advanced by leaps and
bounds. The engineering difficulties of the
Cape-to-Cah-o line are considerable, but
not insupcrabl: so that, with Mr. Rhodes
at the head to "push the thing along,"
there Is every prospect of the scheme,
vast as It is, belnjr successfully accomplished.

HOW IT WAS DONE.
TVJij- Republicans IsOt Many Votes
In Clatsop County.
ASTORIA, Or., June 13. To the Ed
itor.) The smoke of political battle la
Clatsop has cleared away. The casual
ties may now be counted. The forecast
of November for McKlnley, expansion, and
the gold standard may be accurately es
timated. Moody's plurality of GH over
Smith and majority of G30 over all will
be increased in the Presidential election
when our EQO registered, stoy-at-homo
votes will come out. Two-thirds of these
were loyal, but over-confident, Republi
cans. Nothing contrary to this forecast can
be argued from the loss of the Republi
can Legislative ticket in this county
That loss came largely tbxougji the fisher
men's votes. Representative Young, re
nominated on "the Republican ticket, was
loaded down with the fish-Ucense lawt
which was very distasteful to the gill
netters. "Wo elected him' said they,,
"and ho charged us J3 50 Ur the rlKht to
fish. If we elect him again, he may raise
it to 50." young's colleague, Frank
Stokes, suffered heavily from" the same
hostility which was charged up to party
poll:y. So, too. Young's elk law was gall
,to the Nehalem farmers, and the whole
legislative ticket suffered. Frank
Stokes, too, one of our most popular and
successful' merchants, was handicapped
with one element of weakness. The en
tire saloon element was against, him.
Other local causes, not affecting the Na
tional or state ticket, contributed to re
duce the vote of the Republican Legisla
tive nominees. There "were the- malcon
tents; all these who had not received po
litical rewards to which they aspired;
those who are always at oafs with the-j
local management when a party fe In
power in the Nation as well as In tho
state, countj and city. The,n, there was
C. J. Curtis, whose conduct in the LegIs-
laturo prevented his renominatlon. The"
party Ignored his overtures. The major
ity W33 so great It caused over-confidence.
He took the rounds with the "Citizens"
candidates, declaring the party, locally,
must be very corrupt. Indeed, when he
couldn't stand It. Another defection, a
serious one, too, lost the bulk of the Fin
nish vote to the Legislative ticket. A
