IS A MYSTERY OF FATE.
Certain Fatalities That Cling to Presi-
DENTAL Candidates -.

Dental Candidates.
/ lFrom the Philadelphia Ledger.1
Certain fatalities cling to Presiden-
tial candidates which would delight the
soul of the gypsy fortune teller. Now
that Presidential booms are beginning
to flourish like skunk cabbage after a
hard winter, it may interest you to re-
call of them -
A United States Senatorship is q
fearful handicap. Pennsylvania only
President had been a Senator. but that
was years before he went to the White
House. Andrew Johnson was a. Sen
ator, but he was sent to the Presi-
6eney for an assassin's bullet and not
by ballot.
Since Buchanan's day BENJAMIN Har-
rfson was the only man elected Presi-
dent who had got into the Senate
Garfield was Senator-elect, but had
rot yet appeared in the north end Of
the National Capitol Blaine was a
Senator, but Rum, Romapism and Re-
bellion" beat him for President
The Senatorial hoodoo is respectfully
referred to Senators Root, Gummins,
Rorah, Weeks ct al, who have been
spoken of as suitable tenants of the
very desirable residence now occupied
by Woodrow Wilson.
See what happened to Henry Clay.
He was so precocious that Kentucky
ignored the Constitution of the United
States and sent him to the senate be-
fore he was 30years o1d-the only case
on record of Senator's breaking the
minimum age limit.
But he never could reach the Wfrase
House, although he possessed the abb
breviated name which is an omen of
Presidential preference. Long names
ARE not more popular with the voters
THAN are Senators.
Mckinley, Cleveland, Harrison
Roosevelt and Wilson are all one name
presidents. And contrast, II you
please, the two Harrisons. The elder
was one OF only two Presidents in all
times who habitually were called by
their three names-Wf1liam Henry
Harrison and John Quincy Adams.
But Grandfather Harrison was Pres
ident only thirty days, so that the
long name fatality followed him even
after election.
The happiest combination seems to
| be a Governor with one 'front.' name.
Hayes, Cleveland, Mckinley, Roosevelt.
Wilson-fve Governors, Of WON four
sported but one cognon1en However;
| II seems better to have long name
than be Senator, since in fifty years
Grant, Hayes and Taft have received
| the coveted Presidential home, al
though burdened with so per cent more
name than two-thirds of our presidents
have carried, while no man has stepped
directly from the Senate to the White
House.
It is only mile from the Senate
chamber to the Executive Mansion. 1t
must have seemed a million to the as
piring legislators in the upper branch
Tor congress who attempted to traverse
! that short space.
