THE ceremonies counectcd with
notifying candidates fur presi
dent and vice president of
their nomination for these of
fices have led to a koo.1 many jokes
nnd fanny paragraphs on t lie subject
Why such elaborate preparations to in
form a candidate for high oil! e of a
fact of which he Is already well aware?
Why go through the form of telling a
man In sonorous sentences and long
winded speeches weeks after it hap
pened something which lie got news of
by telephone or telegraph wire the mo
ment after It transpired?
Judge TaTt traveled hundreds of
allies, from Hot Springs, Vn? to Cin
cinnati, to be notified that he had
been uoiulnated for president by the
nepubllean party. lie did not make
such a long trip to learn what had oc
curred In the Coliseum at Chicago a
month before, but, rather, to meet In a
suitable place the ofllcial bearers of the
intelligence and take advantage of the
occasion to make a speech of accept
ance expressing his views on the Is
sues of the campaign. Congressman
James S. Sherman was nominated for
vice president by the Republicans on
June 10, but he did not learn of it ofB
daily until Aug. IS. nearly two months
later. Mr. Bryan was notified on Aug
1 12. over a month after his nomination
occurred, and Aug. 23 was set as the
date for Informing John W. Kern of
the honors awarded h!:n early In July
when he was given second place on the
ticket. Messrs. Sherman nnd Kern
were both present as delegates at the
conventions which nominated them for
the vice presidential oflice, nnd It did
not bother either to wait a few weeks
before receiving ofllcial Intelligence of
the nctlou of his fellow partisans.
Of course the notification custom
'luds its origin in days when there

wore no telegraphs or telephones or
even railroads to convey important in
telligence with speed ami acquaint* the
public with all happenings of note on
the very day of their occurrence. Orig
inally there was sense In supposing
that a candidate might receive the tlrst
nevs of his nomination from the com
mittee appointed to convey to hftn the
information. Those days passed long
ago, but customs often survive years
after the conditions which brought
them into existence have changed.
Originally the candidate made only a
brief and perhaps Informal speech In
acceptance of the honor. Abraham
Lincoln spoke only 130 words to the
committee that notified him at Spring
field In 1800 of his nomination for pres
ident. Four years later, when ho was
renominated. It required but 10G words
for him to assure the committee of his
acceptance of the honor and responsi
bilities of ofllcc once more. But since
then It has become customary for a
candidate for president to make a
speech of considerable length In ac
cepting his nomination, going into the
issues of the campaign In some detail.
Judge Taft Intended at lirst to com
press his speech of acceptance Into
about 3,000 words, but he found it nec
essary in the end to take about 13,000^
to cover all the subjects he desired to
touch upon and do so in a satisfactory
tununer. As one comment on the
speech put It, "The judge had several
jobs to do and apparently made up his
mind that he might as well bunch his
hits." Mr. Dryan In his acceptance of
the Democratic nomination for presi
dent delivered a speech which when
converted Into type Oiled about six
average newspaper columns, yet avou
tins was t<v> sninii space for tne nemo
cratle leader to express himself as
fully ns he desired, and he Intimated
his Intention to take up other matters
on subsequent occasions.
The delivery of long speeches nt such
functions means their preparation some
time In advance, so that they may be
handed to the press In time for mailing
copies to distant parts of the country
and setting the type. Judge Tnft's
speech of acceptance was completed on
Friday. July 24, and It was delivered to

press associations on the afternoon of
tlio same day under a pledge that It
would not be released for publication
uutll the afternoon of the following
Tuesday, the day of Its delivery. At
the Brynti notification in Lincoln Mr
Kern was present, although he had not
then been told In a formal maimer th.it
he was to run on the same ticket, an 1
the circumstance served to emphasize
the fact that such ceremonies are now
a mere form so far as conveying the
Intelligence to the candidate is eon
corned.
Washington and Grant were not
speechmakers, and both were mon
afraid of delivering addresses than a
leveled cannon or pointed gun. Even
In reading au address Washington
often trembled and showed signs of
emotion. As a rule, he never delivered
a long speech.
After the adoption of the constitution
the election of n president was held un
der Its provisions on the tlrst Wednes
day of January, 17S0, and early In the
following April the ballots of the elect
ors were counted in the presence of
congress, the choice of Washington for

mindful both of his religious training
