Interesting Story of How
Presidents Are Selected

dent and Burr vice president, but Burr's
vote equaled ,Iefferson's and so the elec-
tion went to Congress, where jefferson
won.
The amendment to the constitution
was passed in time for the 1904 election.
which was the first time that men voted
for one man for President and one for
vice president
Up to that time nobody was ever
nominated by anybody or any conven-
tion or caucus for President Presiden-
tial electors voted as they pleased.
Then arose old "King Caucus" as he
was called. Political parties in Congress
would hold caucus to select a stand
ard bearer.
Congressional caucuses continued to
name favoritcs for many years, or un-
til they got to be a scandal, and then
the national political convention was
born. The first national party conven-
tion in America met in Philadelphia in
September, 1890
1t was an anti-Masonic party, but its
convention failed to nominate n candi-
date for President to be voted for two
years later The first national conven-
tion that really selected candidate for
President gathered at Baltimore in 1881.
you will observe that it was not of
ficially called Whig-and that conven-
tion nominated Henry Clay for President
and John Sergeant, the celebrated Phil
adelphia lawyer, for vice president
Seventeen states sent representatives
to that convention. which was held Il
year before the election was to take
place. The Democratic party also held
its original convention in Baltimore the
following May. when Andrew Jackson
was nominated.
Thus it happened that the first presi-
Dental election at which candidates were
selected by national conventions as we
know them today occurred in 1892, when
Jackson walloped Clay
Sixteen years before that Clay had
favored conventions against a congress
sional caucus for choosing presidential
nominees. Alas for bold Henry of the
Vest lie fell the first victim of
conventions choice.
After the congressional caucus went
out, and before the national convention
came in, il was the fashion for state
legislatures to name favorite sons.
Now the machinery for creating a ma
tional political convention is quite as
well oiled and organized as the machin-
cry for electng the candidate designated
at the popular election. Thus Texas four
years ago chose number Of men presi-
dental electors on the Democratic ticket.
The name of Woodrow Wilson did not
appear anywhere on the ballot.
Those Texas electors might legally
have voted for Connie Mack for Presi-
dent. In the early presidential elections
there were dozens of instances where
Denver labor bulletin., 1916-09-02

n JOTHING was said in the con-
stitution of the United States
about selecting candidates for
President. That instrument in
structs the nation how to elect a pres
ident. but how to pick out the two or
three persons from 100000, 900 who shall
receive our ballots.
So we permit political parties to name
our favorites. Do you remember the
fact that this practice was not always
in use?
Nobody nominated Washington for
President. There was no convention and
no caucus.
The legislatures of the states early in
1889 selected presidential electors, and
these sixty-nine electors might have
voted for anybody Tor President. There
was no instruction OF any kind. There
had been no candidates.
However, it is significant of the pop
ularity of the man who was first in
war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen" that all sixty
nine electors voted for Washington.
In 1892 every elector again voted for
Washington. He was the only President
who received a unanimous vote. One New
Hampshire elector in 1920 refused to
vote for Monroe, simply to prevent his
getting into Washington's class, the
father of the Monroe doctrine receiving
the other 23l ballots.
In that early day every presidential
elector voted for two candidates for
President. The one who received most
votes was to become President and the
one who came second was to be vice
president.
In 1896 the great fight for President
was between John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson But no convention and no
caucus and no legislature and no mass
meeting had nominated either of them.
People just voted for those two be-
cause they We're popular leaders. Penn
sylvania, as shown by the records kept
at Harrisburg, gave Adams ii ,552 votes
and jefferson 1878 votes on the popular
ballot. but fourteen of Pennsylvania's
presidential electors went for jefferson
and one for Adams.
This will convince you that presiden-
tial electors at that time did what the
constitution of the United States mani
testify intended they should always do,
namely, act as free agents in naming the
President.
The vote for President at the begin
ming was trifling. Only $500 ballots
were cast in Pennsylvania for Washing
ton in 1889, and 1876 three years later
The proportion of stay-at- homes was
far greater than it is today.
The battle between Burr and jefferson
in $500 resulted in an amendment TO the
constitution. Voters had evidently in
tended that jefferson should be Presi-

The lawyer eyed the woman in the
witness box in patient despair.

you mean by that?"
We'll, it's like this replied the wit
ness, beaming upon the court. His first
wife's cousin and my second cousins
first wife's aunt married brothers named
Jones, and they were cousins to my
mothers aunt. Then again, his grand
father on his mothers side and my
grandfather on my mothers side were
second cousins, and his stepmother mar
ried my husbands stepfather after his
father and my mother died, and his
brother Joe and my husbands brother
Harry married twin sisters. / amt ever

are but I've always looked on him as

The BARNES
Commercial School

The hundreds, if not thouands of
young men and women graduates of the
Barnes Commercial School of Denver,
who have gone thence into the business
world and taken places of responsibility
aud lucrative employment, are qualified
to tell more than The Bulletin knows
or can ascertain concerning the benefits
of a business education. The first inn
portant fact, however, has become uni
versally recognized as an essential of the
great business and industrial system OF
the world; and that is. that a business
education and practical business training
are a necessary requirement to obtaining
employment in any commercial or other
line of business where there is the pos
sibility of improvement or promotion.
The first benefit of n training at the
Barnes Commercial School is that of n
situation for the graduate in some staple
line of business. Their graduates are in
demand at all times Some of the most
successful business men of the country,
not forgetting the women, have received
their practical training in this school.
1t has enabled many to rapidly rise from
humble stations to positions of high
responsibility and command. We could
not render "A better service than to COM
mend the Barnes Commercial School,

and women of our laboring and wage
earning families.

LoBSTERS GETTING SCARCE.

Lobsters and shad are becoming in
creasingly scarce. The decrease OF the
former has aroused such uneasiness that
a conference OF fishery experts was held
recently at Woods Hole, Mass, to devise
means for counteracting it. The supply
OF shad is becoming rapidly depleted be-
cause the fish do not get adequate pro
lection on their way TO the sea from
the spawning grounds. The most seri-
Gus conditions are in the Chesapeake
basin, where last years shad fishing
yielded the poorest result ever recorded.

The Sunshine Maker
(By Adelbert Clark.)

Just little deed of kindness.
That is all we need to know;
Just one little song of courage
As along thru life we 90.
O, so many hearts are aching
All along life's troubled way;
o. the little smiles of sunshine
We might scatter every day.
Just little word OF kindness,
That is all we need to give.
Souls bowed down will grasp the sunshine.
When they learn the way to live.
There's a thousand jewels beaming
In our hearts and lives each day.
All we need is change of spirit
Just to brighten up the way.
Just little deed of kindness
When the sun is sinking low;
Just handclasp giv'n with smiling,
That is all we need to know
O. so many hearts are aching
For a little word OF cheer!
O. the countless gifts We're wasting
That we might be giving here!
