but his declination to accept led to the
selection Of George NJ. Dallas of Penn
sylvania.
A dark horse won in the Democratic
on June /, 1852.
On the thirty fifth ballot fifteen votes
were cast for Franklin Pierce of New
Hampshire. Pierce up to that time
had not been publicly mentioned as
candidate. but months before it had
been planned by Caleb Gushing. Ben
jamin F. Butler and other New Eng
land politicians. in anticipation of a
deadlock Mt Baltimore, to spring his
name at the critical moment and trust
to stampede to insure his nomination.
This plan was rewarded with success.
Pierces vote steadily increased till the
forty-ninth and last ballot, when the
convention gave him 2s2 votes. with
only six scattering.

lasted four days. The nomination was
contested for by President Pierce,
Buchanan and Douglas. The part
/ Pierce and Douglas had taken in the
repeal OF the Missouri compromise
weighed against them, while Buchanan,
who had been out of the country for
several years as minister to England.
had kept aloof from the disputes that

it was urged in his behalf that he
could carry the admittedly doubtful
state of Pennsylvania. He led in ev
cry ballot to the sixteenth. when he re-
ceived 16S votes to 12l for Douglas and
six scattering. Then Douglas ended
the battle by telegraphing that as
Buchanan was clearly the choice of the
majority of the delegates he should be
given the necessary two-thirds vote
The unexpected happened in the
Democratic national convention which
met in New York on July 1. 1865.
Months before the convention assem-
bled it had been decided by Horatio
Seymour and other Democratic leaders
that Salmon L. Chase. who had be-
come estrunged from the Republican
party. sh0u,d be nominated for presi

GEN. SAMPSON

Says Arizona Should Lose No Time In Selecting Ex- hibition Site at San Fran cisco, Which Is Free for Choosing.

General Sampson was yesterday ac- corded the privilege of the house of representatives to present the Pana- ma Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. In strong and emphatic terms he showed that this exposition will be of the greatest inn portance to Arizona, if it avails it. self of the opportunity now offered. He showed that the chances are that Arizona will, in all probability get back from ten to one hundred per cent for every dollar invested in the exposition. He urged the importance of immediate action in appointing one or more commissioners to go to San Francisco at the earliest date possi- ble to select site for d building to be erected. in which to display Ari- zona's exhibit. Unless this site is selected at once all the best loca tions will be secured by other states. A desirable site, an attractive build ing and an exhibit such as this state can and will present, will be one of the special attractions of that expo sition and will result in influencing many who see these to resolve to stop off in Arizona to see which it has. Many will decide to locate here and invest their money, in some of the many industries of this state, build houses and become permanent residents. In earnest terms he pre- sented the importance of immediate action on the part of the Arizona legislature. which he was sure would
