The presidential election of 1910 was
fought without an issue. The opposition
to the dominant democratic party was
made up Of SO many diverse elements
that it was impossible to adopt a plat
form upon which all could unite. There
fore the wings passed up the making
OF a platform, nominated a war hero and
set about campaign Of clamor with
victory as it's only object.
The democrats had their troubles in
this campaign when they got into their
convention. which, by the way, like sew
eral others, had convened Upon the call,
not of any national democratic organiza-
ton, but upon that Of the democratic
members of the New Hampshire legisla-
ture. When the convention tried 10
nominate a Vice President to run with
Van Buren, there was hopeless split.
Vice President Johnson had been elected
to that position by the Senate no one
having received majority of the eiec-
toral vote for Vice President in 1881.
The opposition to Johnson had not for-
gotten it's grudge against him. and ms
friends were the more firm for him be-
cause of that fact. The result was that
the convention adjourned without choos-
ing a vice presidential candidate rms
led the wings to remind the country tna'
didate which brought the retort that II
was better to agree on issues and dis
agree on men than it was to agree on
men and be split hopelessly over princi-
pies.
There have been two occasions In the
history Of the pre- sidency where an unfor-
tunate remark by the opposition gave
party it's cue and swept 1t into the
White House. One of these was when
the editor of a Baltimore paper wrote OF
William Henry Harrison that II he were
given barrel Of hard cider and pen
Sion of 50 coo a year he would sit CON
tent by his "sea COAL fire In his log
cabin in Ohio the rest of his days ana
study moral philosophy.
That settled it. What finer opportunity
could there be for an appeal to class
prejudice? The wing took 1t up ana
straightway it became the log CABIN anu
hard cider campaign-a campaign IN
which a war hero was simply sung ana
shouted into the presidency. There was
absolutely nothing to it after that. with
such a rallying cry as democratic
editor had given the WING forces. argu.
ments were wholly lost. and supply or
songs and shouts and campaign lies. the
like of which has never been equaled
in American politics, was soon on tap.

Wings Got Busy Early
in Campaign Of 1910.

Before that time the party leaders were
busy appealing to the rank and file to
send uninstructed delegations to the con-
vention. What was wanted was man
upon whom all anti-Van Buren, sentiment
could unite. Victory was the thing the
wings were seeking, and they sincerely
wanted to pick the strongest candidate.
Henry CLAY was again in the race, but
his Freemasonry weakened him in the
east, and his tariff views hampered him
in the south.
1t was admitted that Gen. Harrison had
carried the WING banner nobly four years
before, and many leaders thought him
the strongest entry in the lists. Clay
wanted to be President. but he early
announced himself as for the man who
had the best show to win. He wrote that
If his name should create any obstacle
to union and harmony, then away with
it.' Clay led on the first ballot, but Har-
rison was nominated on the third John
Tyler was nominated for Vice President,
it was claimed, as result of deal be-
tween Henry Clay and Tyler over vir-
ginia senatorship. Tyler. rather than
obey instructions from the Virginia legis-
lature, resigned his seat in the Senate,
and he and William c. Rives were candi-
agreed with Tyler that if he would
leave the .senatorship to Rtves he would
use his best efforts to put Tyler into the
vice presidency. If this well attested
story be true. Tyler got to be President
simply by giving up what seemed a
losing fight for a senatorship
The wings worked themselves into a
fine frenzy over their candidate. They
built log cabins on wheels, with hunks
in them, for travelling campaigners;
Cities and towns had whig cabin raisings
and housewarmings Miniature cabins,
with a barrel of hard cider and a COON
skin nailed on a piece of plank by the
door, were everywhere in evidence. In

Wonder at Interest Shown.

The party of visitors who had marveied
at the base ball interest to be found at
Gatun had occasion the following day to
take a boat from Colon to Limon. Costa
Rica. 1t was the Guadalupe of the French
line, vessel that runs between ports of
France and ports in Central and South
America, not touching the United States
in any way. 1t was found to be a
thoroughly French steamer, with French
crew and stewards throughout. Leaving
Colon in the middle of the afternoon. the
travellers were discussing what they had
seen along the Canal Zone, when they
were interrupted by:
Its a tie, five and five in the ninth.
That just came by wireless.
The group from the United States didn't
need to be told the New York Boston
base bali game was spoken of. But they
did marvel at the international interest
shown in the series. j. B. S.

Hear Score by Innings.

As the visitors went from one part of
the work to another they heard the score
of the game by innings. Almost stimuli
taneously the word spread over the i'm
mense field of operation telling of the
result Of each inning of the Giants-Rea
Sox battle. 1900 miles away. And the
report of run always brought up a dis
cussion of the relative merits of Joe
Wood, jeff Tesreau. Marquard. Mathew
son and others.
Some time before sunSet-and it could
not have been many minutes after the
actual ending of the game on the Polo
Grounds-all the Americans over that big
Gatun project knew the result of the
and Red Sox.
The score by innings was sent from
1.-The States by cable to Colon. and was
flashed across the isthmus to the various
colonies of canal workers by wireless.
The receiving operators at the various
stations told the enthusiastic 'dyed-in-
the-WOOf fans. who remained near his
Office for the news, and the fans passed
the world along to other Offices and to
those Passing from the Office to the
works.
Few of the workmen who discussed the
relative merits of Mathewson and Wood

upon inquiry. But most of them, it was
evident, had been reading the dope" in
the papers from "home," and they could
discuss the features of the contenders

M0DESTY is A MALE VIRTUE
With Women II ls no More Than an
Artificial Protective Device,
says Writer.

And in this same connection 1t Is
time that we revised our ideas of
feminine modesty. What a lot we
have written about 1t and how much
we have enthused over It'll Some Of
US have yer tried to find in it an in
spiration, and women have listened to
our praises and our esctasies for all
these years and never once have they
divulged the secret that they had not
the slightest idea what we were talk
Ing about. They have known that we
were crediting then with some virtue
that they did not possess, but the only
way In which they could learn of that
virtue was by an observation of our
selves.
For modesty is a male, not a female,
virtue, and If men do not get the
credit due to them 1t is only because
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-05-24

they have lost the power to blush.
What is called feminine modesty Is
no more than an artificial protective
device, something that is assumed for
a purpose, like a revolver. 1t has no
basis In consciousness. But male
modesty has a basis in consciousness
and is unassumed. No power on earth
could persuade a man to enter a draw
ing o stripped to the sixtisth de-
gree of latitude. He would be quite
shy about 1t If only men were present,
but will do this in the pres
ence of both sexes, and many Of them
would go lower still but for the con-
ventions.
Now a woman who had to walk
down the street in decollete dress
would probably blush. She would say
that her modesty was offended, but
actually it is her sense of the appro-
pirate that would be offended, for she
has not the least objection to bath
ing in public-that is to say, playing
about on the sands-in a costume far
more explosive than the decollete

FOX ALWAYS WAS CUNNING
Fable From tho Talmud Tells How
He Put the Bear In the
Well

A fox and a bear we're out walking
together one day, when, as they passed
a house, they smelled the dinner cook
ing. The fox suggested to his compan-
ion that they should creep into the
kitchen when no one was there and
steal some of the food. The bear
agreed; but while they were in the
kitchen the cook came in and the
bear was caught and punished. For
this he threatened TO kill the fox; but
the cunning FOX said:
Pray do not let us quarrel. I will
take you to another place where we
shall certainly obtain plenty of food"
At night the fox led the bear to a
deep well and pointing to the re1ec-
ton of the moon IN the water below,
said:
There is a fine cheese. We will go

down and get It."
He then got into one OF the buckets
at the end OF the rope and told the
bear to get into the other. But as he
was too light to balance the bears
weight a large stone was placed with
him In the pail.
As soon as the bear had entered the
other bucket the fox threw out tho
stone and the bucket with the bear
inside descended and was left in the
well.-FTom the Talmud.
