BALTIMORE IS THE HISTORIC
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION CITY

United States was that which
opened at Charleston, S. G., on
April q, 1860, which lasted ten
days and took 81 unayailing bal
lots, and which split the party
into a northern and southern
section, each of which had a sep
arate convention in another
place and put up a ticket of its
own. One faction named Steph-
en- A. Douglas of Illinois and
HerscheI v. Johnson of Georgia,
while the other nominated John
&c. Breckenridge of Kentucky
and Joseph Lane of Oregon.
Both were defeated at the polls
by Abraham Lincoln and Han
nibal Hamlin, republicans.
The main purpose for holding
the democratic national conyen-
ton which met in Chicago on
August 80, 1864, was to prevent
the party organization from go
ing wholly to pieces. The con-
vention adopted a platform
which declared the war a failure
and nominated Gen. George B.
McClelIand of New Jersey for
president and George H. Pen
dleton of Ohio for vice presi-
dent. Only three states ratified
the conventions action.
In the convention of 1868, the
only one ever held in New York,
Horatio Seymour of New
York was named for president
and F. P. Blair of Missouri for
vice president. This ticket was
easily beaten by the republican
ticket of Grant and Colfax.
In 1872 the convention Of
democrats was held at Baltimore.
It accepted Horace Greeley, the
nominee of the seeding element
of the republican party, and
n a m e d B. Gratz Brown OF
Missouri for vice president, but
the regular republicans in that
year repeated their victory OF
1868.
In their convention of 1876, in
st. Louis, the democrats noni.
mated their strongest and ablest
man, Samuel ]. Tilden Of New
York, with Thomas A. Hendricks
of Indiana for vice president.
They came within one vote il
the electoral college of electing
their ticket.
Since 1876 the national con
yentions and nominees of the
democratic party have been as
follows:
In 1880, at Cincinnati, Gen.
/ Winfield S. Hancock of Pennsyl-
yania for president and William
H. English for vice president.
1884, at Chicago, Grover Cleye-
land of New York for president
and Thomas "A. Hendricks of
Indiana for vice president.
1888, at Chicago, Grover
Cleveland of New York for pres
ident and Allen G. Thurman of
Ohio for vice president.
| 1892, at Chicago, Grover
Cleveland of New York for pres
|ident and Adlai E. Stevenson of
Illinois for vice president.
1896, at Chicago, William j.
Bryan Of Nebraska for president
and Arthur Sewall of Maine for
vice president.
1900, at Kansas City, William
j. Bryan of Nebraska for presi-
dent and Adlai E. Stevenson of
illinois for vice president.
1904, at ST. Louis. Alton B..
Parker Of New York for presi-
dent and Henry G. Davis of
West Virginia for vice president.
1908, at Denver, William J.
Bryan of Nebraska for president
and John W. Kern of Indiana
for vice president.

failures have been recorded, but
discussion has continued and to-
day not only farmers but great
bankers and business men are
giving serious attention to the
matter of providing the farmer
with a credit system comparable
to that enjoyed by merchants
and other business men.
We are" said Prof. Edwin
Kammerer of Cornell University
to the New York Bankers asso-
citation, an agricultural coun-
try, yet we are almost entirely
without agricultural credit. The
farmer is almost the only man
in the country who does a big
business on a cash basis. The
most valuable work the bankers
of this state could do would be
to encourage short-time loans to
farmers.
Soon or late the farmer will be
financed and he will not be COM
PEELED to sell his product at the
buyers price or pay suicidal
rates for money to hold for bet
ter prices. The problem Of sup
plying cash and credit for agri-
cultural development is being
studied by the federal govern
ment, by influential bankers and
by the farmers themselves.

Sowing Rice on the Water.

Planting rice from a bateau is
the method now used by several
planters from Junks Mill, La,

Washington, ID. e., June %
The convention which opened at
Baltimore last Tuesday was the
twenty-tirst national assemblage
of the democratic party, while
the one just held in Chicago is
only the fifteenth republican
national gathering. But the
democratic party surpasses the
republican party in age much
more than this difference would
indicate. Born in the bank con-
troversy of 1871, christened by
Jefferson, its founder, in 1892,
and strengthened in the division
among the people which Wash
ington's neutrality proclamation
at the beginning of the Anglo
French war in 1893 caused, the
democratic party passed it's cen
tennial mark more than a decade
ago.
But the history of the party's
conventions dates back only to
1882, in which year the national
delegate convention method of
nominating candidates for pres
ident and vice-president was
adopted. The first national
democratic convention was held
on May 12, 1882, at Baltimore,
adopted two rules which have
guided the actions of all subse-
Iquent conventions. One OF
these provided that the dele
gates, when so instructed, should
cast the votes Of their states as
a unit, and the other that no can.
didate should be nominated with
out a two-thirds' majority. An
drew jackson was nominated fol
president and Martin Van Buren,
for vice president. They were
elected.
The second national demo.
cratic convention met on May
Is, 1886, also at Baltimore, and
nominated Martin Van Burer
for president and Richard K.
johnson for vice president. The
ticket was successful in the sub.
sequent election.
The third convention, held or
May 5, 1910, at Baltimore, re.
nominated Van Buren,, but
named no candidate for vice
president, leaving that to tbs
several states. It also put for:
ward the first complete platform
ever adopted by the party,
Parts of this platform were in.
corporated into the deliverance
of every national democratic con.
vention prior to the civil war,
and its leading ideas have re
appeared in many of the party
platforms of the last so years.
In 1874 the national democratic
convention again assembled in
Baltimore. Van Buren, had a
majority. of the instructed dele
gates for his nomination. James
K. Polk was a candidate for vice
president. Unfortunately for
Van Buren, he was not on the
popular side in regard to the
burning question of the annexa-
ton of Texas. Again the two
thirds rule was introduced, and
assured Van Buren's defeat.
After a three days struggle the
nomination was given to Polk
In the convention of 1848, also
in Baltimore, took place the first

tempted to patch up a truce be-
tween them by admitting the
delegations which each chose,
allowing, each to cast half the
votes. The result was that the

Michigan was named for presi-
dent and William @. Butler of
Kentucky for vice president.

that the Palace show has set new stand
ard Of excellence, toward which every SUBJ

one OF the refreshing features Of the Pal

light, no faring riot of color, no general
effect OF an enlarged ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The Palace itself Is a harmoniously beauti-
ful exhibition hall, and the decorative ef.
fects are subdued. distinguished. The per-
fectly broportioned main hall. the broad.
ample aisles and excellently planned ex-
hibitors' spaces give an effect Of ease and
spaciousness as delightful as it is novel in
exhibitions Of this character.
The automobile show itself is in the
highest degree instructive and educational.
II ! were the owner Of motor car
should make II point to attend the show
at least once or twice, to keep abreast OF
the latest achievements in automobiles. II
were the prospective owner of car,
should feel richly repaid by going, for the
sake of the excellent basis of comparison II
would give me in buying my car, since the
best automobile values on the market are
on view here. And even IL l had no Inn
mediate prospect Of owning car in the
near future, the exhibition would still be
immensely worth while for the sake Of the
informed point of view IT gives one on
topic of as general interest as the automo-
bile is.
Three things impress me deeply in my OBJ
servations at the Palace Show.
The first is the intelligent car knowledge
apparently possessed by even the casual
visitor. / notice that cars are viewed dis
criminatipgly chassis are examined with
intelligence, and a very fair opinion Of the
merits OF the different cars is formed. This
increased knowledge is one Of the most
hopeful Of signs for maker who builds
cars that can stand this shrewd Judgment.
Another significant fact is the widening
class that is interested In and buys motor
cars. From being the toy of the very rich
and later the luxury of the upper middle
class, I hnd that now physicians, lawyers
and professional men in every rank can al
ford to buy one Of the we'll built, medium
priced cars OF to-day and stand the moder-
ate upkeep cost which goes with a car OF de-
pendable construction. And that the motor
car affords them enlarged professional ave
