election of Hughes-Eighty-five pre-
cincts in Douglas county give
No, no, no, don't want to say that
but I just can't get those dawgonned
election figgers out OF my head. What
wanted to say is that there have
been some mighty close presidential
elections in this grand republic of
ours, and then again some not so
close.
A man, who is older than |, re-
calls the election of 1884, when
James G. Blaine, the "plumed
knight" was running against Grover
Cleveland. Some numbskull of a
preacher tried to inject the religious
element into politics with the result
that the candidate whom he favored
lost by just ia popular votes. New
York was the pivotal state and it
was ten days before the count was
completed there and the states cleo
toral vote given to Cleveland, elect
ing him.
A "Tie" Vote.
In the early days of the republic
no man was nominated for vice pres
ident The man receiving the sec
ond largest vote for president was
chosen vice president.
In 1900 Thomas Jefferson and
Aaron Burr each received 73 cleo
toral votes. The house of representa-
tives had to make the choice be-
tween the two men and elected JEFF
ferson president and Burr vice presi-
dent.
Thomas Jefferson, republican,
showed under" Charles c. Pinckney,
federalist, in 1904 with vote OF l62
to IA.
James Monroe did more than that
to J. Q. Adams III 1920, the electoral
vote standing: Monroe, 232; Ad-
ans, l..
Coming down to more modern
times, we find the most signal vic
tory was that of Abraham Lincoln
in 1864, when he ran against George
B. Mcclellan and secured 2l2 cleo
toral votes to McClellan's 81. The
solid south" wasn't voting that year,
for the very good reason that it was
at war with the rest OF the country.
What Grant Did.
When General U. S. Grant ran for
reelection in 1872 he got an cleo
toral vote of 286 against his oppo-
nent's 63.
The election OF 1876 almost precipi-
tated war. There was dispute over
the votes of Florida, South Carolina
Oregon and Louisiana. This was re-
ferred to an electoral commission
composed of eight republicans and
seven democrats, which decided it SO
that Hayes secured 1876 and Tilden
1874 electoral votes.
Roosevelt had a popular vote of
7,623,486 to Parker's 5,007,9ll in 1904
and Taft had 7,678,9O8 to Bryan's
E 6,409, l04 in 1908.
In 1912 Wilson received 62o3,O19
and Taft and Roosevelt vote was
