POLITICAL HISTORY

Here is a curious bit of political
history, which was recalled the other
day by former Senator Bailey of
Texas, while conversing with friends
in Washington:
"1n every democratic national con-
vention, except two, the candidate
once receiving majority of the votes
was given the nomination. Both of
the conventions were held in Balti-
more, the one in 1874, nominating
James K. Polk, after Martin Van
Buren, had received majority; and
the other in 1912, when Mr.. Clark
after having received a majority of
the votes on nine successive ballots,
was beaten by the President. Both
of the nominees were elected at the
subsequent elections, and within -
months after Inauguration each
found a Mexican war on his hands "
