 In conformity with this plan therefore certain forms for ap- plication were made out, by the commission members, after much consultation, and every possible contingency was provided for in those forms that could be thought of by the commission. In doing this it was almost impossible to get something in the form that would fail to meet the approba- tion Of every class of settlers. It, therefore, has become the pro- vince of the commission to issue the above modifying order which will, it is thought, remove some of the objections. if not all, that now exist to the present admin istration of the state school lands.

Butler offered Second Place.

At Monroes second election a curl
Gus incident occurred. 1t was sup
posed that all the electors votes were
for him, but on opening the New
Hampshire package 1t was found that
one elector from that state had bolt
ed" explaining the matter by saying
that he wanted George Washington to
be the only man handed down to his
tory as unanimously elected.
In 1884, 1t is related, James G Blaine
did not want the nomination for presi-
dent because he thought he could not
carry New York, the pivotal state. He
suggested for the ticket William T.
Sherman and Robert T. Lincoln. But
Sherman refused saying that he did
not think that military men were suit
ed to the White House job.
II is also related that Abraham Lin
coin when candidate for second
term offered the second place on the
ticket with him to Benjamin Butler,
But Butler declined on the ground
that he ought not to leave the army
at a period Of crisis to take a civil po-
sition.
Daniel webster, however, was the
only man who ever threw away the
presidency twice. He refused to &C
cept the second place on the ticket
with Harrison in 1910 and thus did
not succeed the latter when he died.
Again IN 1913 he might have been vice
president with Taylor II he had so
wished. lie refused. and Fillmore
was put In, succeeding Taylor on his
aemise sixteen months later.

Roosevelt Entertained Lavishly.

No president has ever entertained SO
lavishly or SO profusely as Roosevelt,
The scale Of expenditure in the presi-
dents palace, as 1t was called In the
early days of the republic, has risen
greatly within recent years. When
Grant was elected for his first term the
salary attached to the great Office was
only $4,000.
II will be remembered that in 1873 a
bill wns introduced In congress raising
the salary Of the president from 500, 00C
to $4,000 aud the pay of members OF
congress TO $1,000 There was fierce
struggle over It, with many tumultu.
Gus scenes, but finally 1t passed both
house and senate. When Grant re.
fused to sign 1t, 1t was again passed
over his veto. Then storm of popu.
lar indignation arose, and SO much fuss
was made in the newspapers about the
SALARY grab" that when congress met
again the first thing It did was to re.
peal that part of the law which re.
lated to senators and representatives
IL would also have restored the salary
OF tho president to It's former figure
but Grant protested against 1t in such
terms, declaring 1t unjust, as to pre-
vent such a step.
IL is curious fact that George
Washington actually received two cleo
tornl votes for a third term, though he
had refused TO serve again-one vote
from North Carolina and the other
from Virginia. This was in the cleo
ton of 1906, when John Adams led
Jefferson by only three electoral votes
At the fourth election Jefferson and
Burr received an equal number OF cleo
toral votes, the result being that the
house of representatives proceeded to
choose the president, each state cast
ing one vote, and Jefferson was chosen.
This tie made the twelfth amend
ment necessary. Before that the con
stltution provided that the electors
should vote by ballot for two persons
without specifying which was TO be
president and which vice president.
The arrangement was that the person
having the greatest nuuNse. Of votes
Of a majority should be president
and that the one coming next should
be vice president, whether he obtain
ed a majority or not

$2,50o,000 For Each Ticket.

The total cost of naming the men for
president and vice president Will be
something like $2,500,000 for each tick
ct. This estimate includes the rail-
road fares and hotel bills of the tens
of thousands of delegates who attend
the county conventions. Then there
are the state conventions, and, hnally
the great national convention, with
more than 1000 delegates and half as
many alternates.
The naIonar conventions have no
standing under the laws of the United
States. They are not recognized or
their doings made valid by the stat
utes, but they serve the purpose for
which they are intended namely, the
d. selection of candidates by the great
political parties, and It is uudeniable
that they are most interesting from a
purely spectacular point of view.
After the nomination comes the cleo
ton. the total cost of which is some
thing like $25,000,000 this being the
approximate expenditure for choosing
a president of the United States. In
1896 Mark Hanna spent nearly $1,000
600 to elect Mckinley.
1t is well within the mark TO suppose
that the two national committees, Re-
publican and Democratic. win together
spend SG,000,000 during the approach
ing campaign. Each Of them will send
out at least 5000 speakers whose sala-
ries will run from $2j to $3.50 week,
with an extra allowance of So a day
for expenses.

has the presidency been so ex-
pensiye a luxury. The business Of

the keeping up of a widespread popu-

lavish scattering Of dollars, and the
mere incidental expenditures Of travel
over long distances In special car,

pretty figure
Fortunately for Colonel Roosevelt he
Is not obliged to pay for these things

rich man, he could not possibly afford
to do so. But many personal expenses
to be met from his private purse are
unavoidable. Whenever he is nj home

In many ways the campaign f. much
cheaper for the president than for the
colonel. For one thing, IL Mr. Taft
has any travelling to do, he has his an

and, for another item, the government
provides him with all the clerical as
sistance he wants, and he never has TO
buy postage stamp.
The nominee on either ticket, Re

obliged to meet many extraordinary
expenses before election day arrives.
Benjamin Harrison was helped out
