HISTORY AGAINST
PRESIDENT WILSON
American Voters Have Refused
Since Lincoln's Era to Re-
Elect Democrat.
FUTURE FAvoRs HUGHES
By A. R. GROH.

Woodrow Wilson's chance of a
second term as president, viewed in
the light of history, is very slim. Be
ginning with 1860. no democratic
president has been reelected to sue
coed himself, -Four republicans had
this honor-Lincoln. Grant, McKin-
ley and Roosevelt. Cleveland had
two terms, but not successive terms.
Prior to 1860 party names with
reference to the policies and princi-
pies of today were rather uncertain
But in that period of our history only
one president running as democrat
was reelected. He was Andrew
Jackson. .
The democrats of today claim
Thomas Jefferson as their political
ancestor. But Jefferson, in his day,
was republican. Madison and Mon
roe were republicans also. All these
were reelected. Washington, the
federalist, was also given two terms.
In Prime of Life. aga
Hughes is 81 and Wilson 50 years
old. In this respect they are both at
the time of life when most OF our
presidents have been elected. Seven
teen presidents have been in their
SOS when they were elected; five were
in their COS and six in their 40's. The
first Harrison was the Oldest presi-
dent, having reached 90 years when he
was inaugurated. Roosevelt was the
youngest, AZ years.
John Adams lived quarter of a
century after his term as president,
dying at the age Of co. His death oc-
Cured the same day as that of Thorn
as Jefferson, July 4, 1926. Jefferson
had reached the age OF 50.
The president who was the young
est at the time of his death was Gar
field, assassinated at the age of 4o
when he had been president only six
months.
| Both College Men.
Both of Our principal candidates
this year are university men. Wilson
is Princeton man and Hughes is a
graduate of Brown and Columbia. OF
the men who preceded them in the
presidential chair eighteen were col.
lege graduates and nine were not
Three were graduates of Harvard and
three of William and Mary.
