THIS MAY BE ANOTHER 1888.

Detroit Free Press, independently
The absence of a dominant figure
in the Republican discussions of
presidential material this year is fear
ed by some as weakness and is
quite frequently used by Democrats as
a reason for taunts that the party will
be unable to rally around any candi-
date in the campaign. Recollections
of a. former presidential year should
caution any one from over-confidence
in this element of danger.
There. are many similarities be-
tween the campaign of 1916 in its
early stages and that of 1888 at cor
responding period of its history.
A Democratic president was in of
fice in 1888. He too who a child of
destiny, with luck for his mascot. He
was apparently more difficult to de-
feat than is the present prospective
candidate of the Democratic party,
for he had polled a popular majority
in his first campaign, while Mr.. Viii
son went into Office minority win
ner.
Blaine was the overshadowing per-
sonality of the Republicans at that
time. He had been defeated in 1884
by the narrowest of margins; he ap-
pealed to the imagination of the peo-
pie to a degree perhaps unequalled
since his time by any public man or
country. Around him conferred the
hopes of his party. He probably
could have had the nomination for
the asking. and upon his decision his
followers waited eagerly for months.
When Blaine definitely refused the
honor confusion reigned. The out
look was hopeless to many Republic
ans. who could not see how the party
was to unite upon any other candi-
date than the magnetic Blaine.
1t became year of Favorite Sons,
A dozen states put forward aspirants
for the leadership, and among the
crowd none could descry a winner.
When the convention met no less
than fourteen names were presented
and voted upon in the first ballot.
John Sherman, who had made
strong campaign, was the leader, but
Walter @. Gresham. Chauncey M.
Depew and Michigan's candidate, Cen
eral Alger, were theateningly close to
the front William B. Allison of To-
wa. John ]. ingalls, of Kansas, Blaine
of Maine. and Harrison of Indiana,
were grouped in the background.
Yet out of this uncertainty came
the nominee who was to win for his
party Harrison. almost unheard of
before the convention, captured the
prize. The party rallied around him
and he was elected in November, car
rying every northern state except
New Jersey and Connecticut.
Historical parallels should not be
drawn out too far, for history's repeti-
tons always bring variations. But
the lesson for Republicans of today
n the 1888 campaign are impressive.
There is no fatal peril in uncertainty
over leadership. What has occurred
once can occur again. and the progress
81 events may develop the man about
W nno Republicans can gather. Like
1888. this is a fine year for dark
horses

Judson Harmon of Ohio is usually looked upon as a
Democrat of foresight, sodity patriotism and intelligence.
At any the people of Ohio have looked him
for many years. At one time Mr. Harmon likely
candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presi-
dency 1t is too bad that he Champ Clark somebody
else the antithesis of William Jennings Bryan,
nominated. Mr.. Harmon holds that the experience of
the world teaches the necessity of military preparedness
on the part of every nation.
On his SEVENTEEN birthday Mr. Harmon wrote letter
Congressman Alfred G. Allen of Ohio In that letter
he that for the third time he is reading Gibbons
whom he has found to be profitable in ways than
and teeming with suggestions applicable to modern
problems. One passage in Mr.. Harmons leted follows:
when Constantine asked the people [of Consan-
tinoplel for contributions for defence, Gibbons says,
they preferred to keep their wealth for the Turks who
took it ALL rather than give part of it defend the
country"
