AMAN WITH A MEMORY
NEW SUPERINTENDENT OF
SENATE DOCUMENT ROOM.

The other day a senator. a new one
from the new state OF Oklahoma, went up
10 the document room in search OF a bill
And that is about all he knew about II.
1t is true he had dim idea OF the sub
ject matter. and he thought Senator So
and-so. or So-andso. might possibly
have introduced it, and perhaps it was in
the Fifty-ninth Congress, or perhaps in
the Forty-ninth.
There was not the slightest doubt about
his wanting that particular bill. however
He knew he would recognize /: when he
saw it. On account of the haziness of the
situation he did not send his secretary on
the errand. but determined to put all of
his keen wits on the job. Sill even ne
recognized that It YVES a forlorn hope. if
there ever was ore.
Alphabetically he began his little tale
to Mr. Boyd. the new superint endent 81
the Senate document room. He didn't
suppose that official could find what he
wanted. but he just thought ne would ask
him. OF course, If 1t took several DAYS.

Won With Mckinley.

In 1884 Ohio again presented John Sher-
man, but there was divided delegation,
and James G. Blaine was nominated. New
York's votes in this contest were divided
among Arthur, Blaine and one or two
other candidates. In 1883 Ohio again pre-
sented Sherman and supported him solidly
for eight ballots. Chauncey NJ. Depew
was the candidate of New York. and Ben
jamin Harrison was nominated on the
eighth ballot. In 1892 Ohio supported
Mckinley. and New York had a divided
delegation. Harrison was nominated. In
1875 Ohio presented Mckinley again as a
candidate. and won. The majority of the
New York delegation was for Levi p.
Morton. In 1900 Mckinley was renomi-
mated unanimously. and in 1904 Roosevelt
was unanimously nominated.

posed Lincoln, Hayes, Garfield, Blaine

York has only supported the successful
candidate for the nomination when the

nomination in 1884. 1t supported Grant

ton in 1872. 1t presented Hayes as a can

OHIO A GREAT POWER
ITS INFLUENCE AT REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.

Secretary Taft's victory in the Ohio
| primaries and the assurance which. his
supporters say. it gives Of a fighting, az
| gressive delegation in his behalf have
caused them to call attention to the al
most uniformly successful efforts Of Ohio
to secure nominations for its favorites at
republican national convention. Not
| always has the candidate supported by
Ohio been a native son. The state has
taken occasional excursions to other COM
monwealths. picked up the candidate OF
the sister state and nominated him. Ohio
has been as successful in this particular
| as New York has been unfortunate. When
Secretary Taft. therefore. instructed his
supporters to concede the contest In every
New York district to Hughes, the poll
tfcians whose memories bark back to for
mer contests in the party smiled know
ingly. Some Of them were even inclined
to suspect that the Secretary of War
was superstitious. for New York has been
a Jonah in the matter of nominations. 1t
has been a determining factor only in
elections in recent campaigns.
In a measure. the contest waged against
Mr.. Taft in Ohio is now regarded by his
friends as blessing in disguise. 1t. as
sures him, they say, of militant dele
cation. a delegation of last pitchers,
delegation ready to do or die.
A Timely Comparison.
A comparison between the results OBJ
tanned at republican national conventions
by Ohio and the part played by New
York is being made by Taft men as
timely as we'll as Illuminating.
The republican party has held thirteen
national conventions. John G.. Fremont
was the first nominee, supported by New
York and by majority of the Ohio dele
CATION. In 1890 it was Oho's change of
votes that nominated Lincoln. The dele
cation had been divided for three ballots.
when twenty-nine votes were given to
Lincoln, fifteen to Chase and two to Nc
Lean. New York supported William H.
Seward throughout the contest. Lincoln
was renominated by acclamation his name
being presented by Mr.. Delano of Ohio.
In 1868 Grant was presented for Pfesi-
dent by Judge Spalding of Ohio, and the
state gave him its solid vote.
New York also supported Grant in both
1885; and 1872. In 1875 Ohio supplied
Rutherford Il. Hayes for President. New
York had come with Roscoe Conkling as
candidate, and stayed by him until the
last ballot. In the memorable convention
of 1880. at Chicago, New York gave a
majority of its votes to Grant for a third
term. Ohio presented John Sherman as a
candidate, and stayed by him for thirty
five ballots. On the thirty sixth ballot
James 4. Garfield of Ohio was nominated,
receiving every vote in the Ohio delega-
ton except his own.
