teWhy. when and where was the roos-
ter adopted as the political emblem9'
The question quoted above and addressed
to the editor of the Enquirer has been
asked thousand times recently. The
question has been answered before, but
for the benefit of those who do not un-
derstand the situation it can be answered
again. In 1s42, after the Harrison cam
paign, there was great doubt as to how
indiana had cast her vote. An editor
named Chapman conducted the Demo
cratic newspaper at indianapolis, and, as
is often the case in boasting over victory,
his editorial rejoicing over the result was
termed Growing In day or two,
when some of the back counties were
heard from, it seemed his growing had
been premature, and the Wing organ
came out giving late returns showing
Democratic defeat, and in the headline
was the expression,
''Crow, Chapman, crow
This was intended as taunt, and
must have been felt, for few more
counties yet to hear from again turned
the tables, and showed that the Demo
Gratis had won. 1t was then that the
rival editor hoisted at the head Of his col
umns magnificent rooster and printed
underneath it the words, "We Crow

for roosters spread, and from that day
