presidential Office Is as fatal to It's oc-
cupant as that of the vice presidency,
with the increasing danger. empha-
sized by the assassination Of Mckinley,
of an untimely and violent death at the
hands of some anarchist. The first
vice president to die in Office was
George Clinton, elected on the ticket
with James Madison in 1908 The
next one to vacate Office through the
eternal summons was William r. King,
who was President Pierce's running
mate in 1852 Then came Henry Will
son, who was elected at the time Grant
was given second term. President
Cleveland's associate, Thomas A.
Hendricks, was the next one TO go,
and the death of Garrett A. Hobart.
President Mckinley colleague, is fresh
in mind
But if there is a growing reluctance
on the part of political lights to accept
ing the second place on the national
ticket it was not always so, for in the
early history of the country the vice
president repeatedly succeeded to the
presidency. Washington's associate in
Office, John Adams, was elected to the
presidency when Washington refused
to accept third term. And Thomas
Jefferson, who was President Adams
associate as vice president, succeeded
him in the presidency. The break in
this regular advancement came with
Aaron Burr and as much, perhaps,
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1904-05-14

from the unprincipled conduct of the
latter as from anything else.
Before party organization and formal
nominations, and the adoption of the
law for the election of presidential cleo
tors by popular vote. the legislators
chose the electors and they were I'M
pledged to any candidate. Each elector
voted for two candidates for president
and the candidate having the next
largest vote was declared the vice pres
ident. The Jefferson-Burr controversy
arose over the fact that both received
an equal number OF votes-73-and al
though it had been tacitly understood
that Jefferson was the presidential
candidate and entitled to the election.
Burr saw his opportunity to slip into
the presidential office. The contest
was thrown into congress and eventu-
ally decided by the election of Jeffer-
son. This difficulty made it apparent
that the candidates for president and
vice president must be clearly indi-
Gated and from that time on until par
ties were formed and national conven-
tons held for the nomination of candi-
dates, no such confusion was ever
again permitted to occur.
1t has been charged that John c.
Calhoun, one of the ablest statesmen
which this country ever produced, and
who was a strong defender of the
slavery rights of the southern states
labored to destroy the union that he
might be the CHIEF of southern con-
federacy, because he could not be pres
ident of the union. That he had ambi-
tons to become the head of this gov
eminent cannot be gainsaid, and why
he, keen politician and able statesman
that he was, never attained the gaol of
his desires is not clear. This fact, how
ever, is strikingly significant. Calhoun
was vice president under John Quincy
Adams and again under the first term
of Jackson's administration. Just how
much his election to this Office proved
a barrier to his presidential aspirations
cannot be determined. He resigned his
Office under Jackson, and who can say
but that 1t was with the hope that
events would shape themselves to make
him the opposition candidate for pres
ident at the next election. That he did
not become such Is ma ter of history,
and the fact that with but one excep-
ton the vice president never has sue
ceeded to tho presidency since
the days of Burr is signifi-
cant. even if it does not establish a
principle governing national poll
tics.

president since that day has had like
distinction.
When the politician who has higher
aspirations hears the buzz of the vice
presidential bee he takes to cover i'm
mediately and seeks by every possible
subterfuge to escape being stung. He
does not want to appear Indifferent to
the honor his party would thrust upon
him; he does not want the voters Of the
country to believe that he is not pa
triotic and loyal to his nation and will
ing to serve it, but he does want
to miss that second place on the ticket.
1t was a pretty game of hide and
seek which Roosevelt played with the
leaders of his party. He did not want
the nomination, in fact, of all things
political he did not want, the vice pres
idential Office was that thing. The re-
nomination of President Mckinley was
inevitable and he knew that his presi-
Dental aspirations would have to go
over another four years, and in the
mean time he vastly preferred the gov
ernorship of New York state to any Of
flee outside of the presidency. And SO
with all the strenuousity of his siren
uous nature he lodged and shooed
off the vice presidential bee when 1t
came buzzing around. But with great
er pesistency than was its wont, the
political insect stayed right by its de-
sired victim and at last succeeded in
inserting its sting in a vulnerable spot
and landed its man.
There were two reasons, perhaps,
which made Roosevelt most desirable
running mate for Mckinley. First of
all he was a strong man politically, and
votes for the ticket, and in the next
place he was man the leading poll
ticians of the party feared because Of
his strength and personality, and they
thought to do a neat double turn by
placing him on the vice presidential
shelf. but, of course, the untimely death
of President Mckinley changed the sit
uation somewhat, and Roosevelt found
his ambition to occupy the presidential
chair Unexpectedly and suddenly real
lied
There have been four other vice pres
idents who have succeeded to the pres
idency through the death of the chief
executive: Arthur, on the assassina-
ton Of Garfield; Johnson. on the assas-
sination of Lincoln; Fillmore, on the
death of Taylor; and Tyler, on the
death OF William Henry Harrison.
Five vice presidents have died while
in ONCE, but the antipathy to the Office
cannot be because OF this fact. for the

In inducing men of political

Just why election to the vice presi-

SECURE ALL OF
EXPOSITION VIEWS
ENTIRE SERIES DESIRABLE AT
FORDING A COMPLETE HISTORY
OF ST. LOUIS WORLDS FAIR.

This paper again takes occasion to
impress upon its readers the advice to
secure all the portfolios of the Forest
city series of Worlds Fair views.
The reason for this is obvious, for
the views are selected so as to make
the whole series embrace every feature
Of the Fair-architectural, scenic, his
toric, chronological, artistic and sculpt-
ural.
If any portfolio is missed by just that
much will the series be incomplete for
remembrance or for the valuable pur-
pose Of reference. The worth of the
series is attested by the fact that many
institutions of learning are among
those who are sendi.s 90. coupons for
the parts already issued.
The views are, of course, accurate
and authentic, since the original pho
tographs are secured by the official
photographer of the Exposition, espe-
cially for the Forest City" series; and
the descriptive portions are also thor
oughly authentic, since they are pre-
pared by Walter b. Stevens, secretary
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
We know that very many are just
awakening to the Importance of secur-
ing the first and each succeeding copy
of the portfolios and we also fear that
many others will fail to catch the pres
ent moment and will, therefore, be de-
prived of the full benefit of the distri-
button, and will ever regret the lost
opportunity.
1t is only necessary to bring or send
one coupon clipped from our columns
and ten cents for each portfolio desir-
ed; this small amount being charged to
cover cost of handling, wrapping, and
mailing.
Eighteen parts now ready.
