Munsey's Magazine, February 1912

1912 · 154 pages

Munsey's Magazine, February 1912 This issue contains Judson C. Welliver's exposé "A Vitally Illuminating Article on a Criminally Corrupt Condition in the Republican Party." Welliver documents the Republican Party's structural disadvantages stemming from convention-delegate apportionment: Southern states, which cast negligible Republican votes in presidential elections, control nearly half the convention delegates required for nomination. Using the Official Register of federal employees, Welliver demonstrates that approximately eighty percent of Southern delegates to the 1908 convention held government offices, creating a patronage system disconnected from genuine party strength. He analyzes Alabama's twenty-two convention votes correlated with twenty-five federal positions, showing postmasterships, marshals' positions, and customs offices distributed among delegates and alternates. Welliver traces this to post-Reconstruction carpetbagger-era structures, where Southern Republican machines trade delegations for federal appointments regardless of voter support.
