Teddy Roosevelt walks from the 1912 GOP convention (Inset) to the Bull Moose third party conclave

WASHINGTON In any other
country than the United States, up

The founding fathers never intended
it would be this way. The first
three presidential candidates were
hand-picked. Leading citizens, con
gressional caucuses and the state
legislatures just picked out some
body who would be good. There wa ...
enough talent around In Washing-
ton, Adams and Jefferson so that ""
they couldn't go wrong.
The first national nominating con
vention was held in New York 140
years ago. It was entirely a secret
affair. A small group of federalist or
whig party members met In a closed , .
meeting. They were described as -men
of "culture, education and "
means."
Model
Without asking the advice of any JI.
of the voters, they picked a couple
of now-forgotten men named Plnck- -ney
and King as their candidates.
Madison and Clinton licked t he
pants off them.
