THE VICE PRESIDENCY
No Longer Regarded as a Refuge on
The Road to Oblivion.

Under the theory of a dozen or
two dozen years ago the Vice Pre-
sidenCy was, for the ambitious
statesman, the last refuge on the
road to oblivion. The incumbent
of that Office shows that this con-
ception is essentially wrong.
Charles w. Fairbanks, as Vice
President, has been so successful
and has made himself so popular
that he has not only strengthened
himself, but has aided his party.
When held by the right sort of
man like Mr.. Fairbanks, the
Vice Presidency is a great office.
In the even divisions IN the Senate
consisting of the members of only
thirteen States, Vice President
John Adams gave the casting vote
which put twenty-five measures,
most of them of very great impcr-
tance, on the statute book. Cal
houn, while Wee President, gave
Senator Hayne, of his State, the
points by which he figured in that
memorable debate with Webster,
which was the prelude to nullifi-
cation. Van Buren's tact and
urbanity in the second Office aided
powerfully in winning for him the
first Office. Breckenridge, who
held the second place on the Buch-
anan ticket, made such a popular
official that the Southern end of
his party put him at the head Of
its ticket in the Douglas split of
1860. If Hamlin had been re-
nominated for Vice President in
1864, as many Republicans at that
time belived he ought to have
been, and as the whole country
year later wished he had been, the
fight between President and Con-
gress in 1865 68, when Lincoln
death sent Andrew Johnson to the
Presidency, would have been
averted, and the country would
have been spared a humiliating
scandal.
By his service Of eight years in
that body as Senator, Mr. Fair
banks became acquainted with
nearly all its members, and got
very valuable knowledge of its
atmosphere and its traditions,
Thus he was particularly we'll
equipped for the position of its
presiding officer, which he gained
in the election of 1904. He is as
skillful parliamentarian as was
Colfax, who went to the second
office in Grants first term, and he
and he has won popularity among
his associates and among the lead
ers of his party in and out of Con
gress equaling that which Hobart
acquired in the first term of Nc
Kinley. Mr.. Fairbanks exper-
ience in the past two years shows
the great possibilities for an able,
tactful, and ambitious statesman
which the Vice Presidency offers.
1t is not remarkable that at two
recent notable public demonstra-
tions, one i'll Baltimore and the
other in Chicago, Mr. Fairbanks
was acclaimed as the next Presi-
