Convention Is
Outgrowth Of
1808 Whig Meet
(Continued .ron? Pace 1)
1811. Conventions then became the
rule and went on from there.
The first conventions were com
paratively dignified. Only a couple
of hundred delegates. And the crowds
listened when the delegates spoke.
But as the country has grown, as
press coverage has improved, as the
loudspeaker has been perfected and
now as television has come along,
things have gotten out of hand.
Today's conventions have more
than 1000 delegates. 1000 alternates,
1000 seregants-at-arms, ushers and
other minor officials, a press corps
of more than 1000 and an audience
of near 10.000 to watch them all go
crazy and if necessary, go along.
In the 1830'3 the young democratic-republican
party founded by
Thomas Jefferson adopted the con
vention idea. Andrew Jackson was
president then. He wanted Martin
Van Buren as his vice president. So
Jackson's "kitchen cabinet" planned
the Baltimore convention of 1832.
Each state was given the same num
ber of delegates as its presidential
electors one for every congressman
and senator. These delegates were
chosen by state partv caucuses or by
congressional delegations. There was
no rule or system. The whole busi
ness was Jerry-built and it "Just
growed."
I nit Rule
It was at this 1832 convention,
however, that the party which was
to become the democratic party of
today first adopted the "two-thirds
rule" and the "unit rule." The unit
rule required each state delegation
to vote in a bloc, casting all then
votes for one candidate receiving a
majority in his delegation. In other
words, the delegates did not vote as
Individuals.
The two-thirds rule required that
a candidate must receive two-thirds
or more of all votes cast, to be
nominated. These rules have plagued
the democratic party ever since,
though they have been set aside by
some states and in some conventions.
At the next republican convention,
held at "The Wigwam" In Chicago,
Lincoln was nominated and whoop
la and ballyhoo were Introduced.
The Wigwam was a specially built,
big frame barn that cost $7000 to
build. For the first time, It provided
seats for the general public. The
crowd outnumbered the delegates
five to one. Once, when the rival
William H. Seward forces were out
parading, the Lincoln followers filled
every seat in the hall. Convention
trickery began with that.
An eyewitness at this convention
wrote: "The uproar was beyond de
scription. I thought the Seward yell
could not be surpassed, but the Lin
coln boys were clearly ahead, and.
feeling their victory, as there was a
lull in the storm, they took deep
breaths all around and then gave a
concentrated shriek that was posi
tively awful, and accompanied it
with a stamping that made every
plank and pillar in the building
quiver."
Wheres The Preacher?
Convention stories would fill an
encyclopedia. But one of the high
points in convention history was re
corded in 1912 at Teddy Roosevelt's
Bull Moose third party convention
in Chicago. Senator Albert J. Bev
erldge, great Hoosler orator, was
chairman. He was having his diffi
culties getting one session quieted
down and started, because of opposi
tion from bands and milling crowds.
In a sudden and unexpected lull.
Beveridge, between poundings of his
own gavel, was clearly heard to
shout: "Where is the blankety-blank
preacner7 we want htm to start his
blank-blank prayer."
It is the unexpected drama of the
political convention, and the fact
that the whole audience can also be
actors in the pageant, that provides
the big thrill. The rise of a dark
horse after a deadlock, the sudden
shift of political fortunes, the bolt
of one section of a party on a
matter of principle these are the
tnings that make the convention
tradition hang on In snlte of the
fact that it is an outmoded, in
efficient and undemocratic wav to
select presidential candidates.

Council Faces
Three Week's
Work Monday
Three weeks' accumulation of
business will be on the docket for
the city council's next meeting. Mon
day, June 14. The unusual load ol
city business is partially a result
of the council's Monday meeting
this week which was adjourned
after a heated discussion with the
council unable to decide whether to
meet for that night on daylight
saving time or standard time.
Bids on a pick-up truck for the
fire department and auditing serv
ice for the city were to have been
opened Monday, but had to be held
over, as well as several ordinances.
Making things still more compli
cated is the fact that since May 31
was the fifth Mondav In the month,
no meeting was held that week.
In addition, the proposed city
budget for the fiscal year 1948-49
must be read to the council by June
16. which means it must be read
next Monday.
On June 16. the date for a pub
lic hearing on the budget will be
advertised. The date Is set for July
6. so the budget can be finally ap
proved and in effect July 15.
