II Played a Momentous Part In Amer
can History,
The war between this country and
England in 1912 was caused by one
vote, and, stranger still the small mar
gin came from pig getting its head
stuck In rail fence. 1t was Rhode
Island fence at that, but built much
like Virginia worm fence.
They were having an election of
members Of the Legislature in Rhode
Island. One Federalist put off going
TO the election and left himself just
time enough to get there before the
polls closed. Just as he got on his
horse and started for town he heard u
pig squeal. He looked around and
saw that the pig had its head damned
into that old rail fence, and anybody
who knows anything about hogs
knows that the hogs would have eaten
that pig up If it hadn't been rescued.
The farmer stopped long enough to
liberate the pig. and when he got to
the polls they were closed. He was
too late
The result was that Democratic
member OF the legislature was elected
from that district by one vote. and he
would not have been elected IL that
Federal had got there on time. In
the legislature Democratic United
States senator was elected by one vote
and that Democratic legislator whu
had been elected by one vote voted
for him.
In the United States senate they
voted for the war OF 1872 by one vote
and that Rhode Island Democratic
senator who had been elected because
that pig was caught In the fence voted
for the war Of 1S12.-popuiar Maya
