In 1910 the Wing party elected
VIM. H. Harrison President. He was
inaugurated in lS4l, March 4th. One
month afterward he died, and his Office
fell to John Tyler. How "Tyler too"

Texas was annexed, the area ofslavery
was extended by nearly 100000 square
miles, and all was lovely. In lS4S,
Zachary Taylor, a moderate Wing,
