If the plan proves a success ii may
tax the ingenuity of the pastor to

Its novelty. So unless the Taylor

in to attract greater crowds.

DAN HAMlLToN'S EMBARRASS.
MENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican. - Down
in the Sixth district they have Dem
ocratic congressman named Dan Ham
ilton. It is no Daniel for him, just
Dan. He was elected two years ago
by the aid of Republican votes. The
Republicans had some quarrels
among themselves, and few of them
voted for the other party's nominees,
just enough of them to change the
election and in the Sixth district II
has always been close race between
the parties. Mr. Hamilton thinks he
will be elected again, but he Is really
as far from victory as Dan was from
Bersheba in the days Of old. There is
running against him gallant young
man by the name Of Nate Kendall
and he is receiving the support of all
factions. as every one in the Republi,
can party is this year
What embarrasses Mr. Hamilton
especially Is the fact that when he
wrote his little biography for the Con
gressional Record he wrote himseli
down as Roosevelt Democrat.
That phrase has ceased to stand foI
anything The Democrats are now
abusing Roosevelt and Mr.. Roosevelt
has dared to strike back. There are
| there were and the men who have
been calling themselves Roosevelt
Democrats. hardly know where the.
are at now. There is no sucli thins
as a Roosevelt Democrat this yea
men are either Republicans or Demo
Gratis or little red herrings.

The campaign of 1852 saw the rekind-
ling of those sectional fires which
were to ultimately blaze into a civil
war. President Taylor. elected four
years before, had died in Office and
Vice President Willard Fillmore oc-
cupied the chair of state. Territorial
expansion of the country was con-
slant and new state came into the
union during F'illmore's term. The adj
dition of each new state to the union
aroused the question anew in all it's
heat Of whether slavery should be
permitted in the newly endowed COM
monwealth. Every state was the cen
ter Of a separate and distinct fight
and it was inevitable that the ques-
ton of slavery and anti-slavery had
10 become the all-pervading issue, not
only in the campaign of 1852, but of
every other presidential campaign I'M
til the issue was settled once and for
all. Casting an eye back across the

The campaign of 1913 gave the
American people an opportunity to-
pronounce verdict upon the Demo
cratic administration of President
Polk and the Mexican war, which had
just ended with a supremacy OF Amer
lean arms. AT the congressional cleo
tions Of 1876 the Wings, In conse-
quence OF the repeal of the protective
tariff of 1912 and the unpopularity Of
the Mexican war in certain parts of
the country, had made large gains,
causing the Democrats to lose their
control of the house of representa-
tives. Growing dissension among
northern Democrats over the slavery
question further divided the party of
Polk and the result of the campaign
was inevitable, particularly since the
war had developed no Democratic sol
diers, but on the contrary had made
popular idols of two Wing generals
The Democratic national conven-
ton met i'll Baltimore in May, lS4S.
The slavery agitation in the north
had become SO acute that party strife
in New York state over the subject Of
slavery caused a divided contrasting
| delegation to appear at the Baltimore
convention. The convention finally de-
cided to admit both delegations to
seats, thus dividing the vote of the
state. whereupon both declined to
take part under such circumstances
and accordingly withdrew, leaving
New York unrepresented in the con
vention. On the fourth ballot the con
vention nominated Gen. Lewis Cass
an able, worthy and conservative citi
zen Of Michigan, many years governor
of the Michigan territory and at the
time one Of the United States sena
tors from that state. A platform sub
stantially the same as that Of 1884,
was adopted. On the burning question

three candidates could be nominated.
On the 35th ballot ID votes were cast
for Gen. Franklin Pierce of New
Hampshire and on the 49th ballot
there was a stampede made which re-
suite din his nomination. William r.
King Of Alabama was nominated for
vice president. The platform adopted
by the convention declared that the
party would abide by the compromise
measures in congress and would re-
sist all attempts at renewing the agi-
tation Of the slavery question under
whatever shape or coYor the attempt
might be made. Here was desperate
effort TO stand off the conflict which
was already in sight and the eager
ness with which the voters hocked to
the standards of Pierce bore mute
testimony of their dislike and aver
/ sion to the conflict into which they
were slowly but surely being drawn.
| Two weeks later the Wing conven
ton met in the same city and in the
same hall President Fillmore was i

attain his LIES desire. Because Fill
more had vigorously executed the fu-

nous choice of southern Wings. The
rthwesterners, however. were un.
willing to indorse a candidate who
they dubbed northern man with
southern principles" Unlike the Dem
ocratic convention. the Wing conven-
tion adopted its platform before nom
mating a candidate, and after long
and bitter struggle enc southern
Wings triumphed in their demands
and the platform as finally adopted
declared in favor of slavery compro
mise measures, insisted upon theil
stirct enforcement and deprecated al
further agitation on the slavery ques
ton. On the SD ballot Scott was
nominated, receiving 159 votes a:
