Facts About Presidents.

Two Presidents of the United
States wers elected by the Wing
party during the twenty-five years
of its existence as az organization.
These were William Henry Harri-
son and Zachary Taylor. Both
died IN Office. The Republican
party, which succeeded the Wing
party, has elected IN forty.o
years SIX Presidents - Lincoln,
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison
and Mckinley. Three of these -
Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley
were assassinated. This Is a
startling and tragic record. The
Democratic party has been In ex-
istance ITO years. During half
that period it has been in power in
the nation. 1t elected nine Presi-
dents of the United States: Messrs
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jack
son, Van Buren,, Polk, Price, Buch-
anan and Cleveland. Five of
these, namely, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Jackson and Cleveland,
served two terms each. Of the
entire nine Democratic Presidents
elected in the ITO years not one
died in office. 1t is worthy of note
also that the only ex-President liv-
ing is Democrat.
