RecOlleCtiOnS of 1860 And
Party Struggles to Mind Now
By Captain John A. Cobb

In the summer of 1860, the National
Democratic convention met in Charles
ten, S. C. After a stormy session of
several days, it was impossible to agree
on a nominee for president and vice
president of the United States, the
convention adjourned after passing
resolutions reefrring the whole mat
ter back to the several states, and
asking for state conventions co be
called to re-instruct their delegates,
who were to attend a National Demo-
cratic convention which was to meet
in Baltimore, Md.
1t was at the Charleston, S. c., con-
yention that the Massachusetts aele-
CATION, of which Benjamin F. Butler
was chairman, voted on over one hum
dred ballots for jefferson Davis, of
mississippi, to be the Democratic can
didate for president of the United
States. What wonderful change
came over the sentiments of the men,
bers of that convention in few
months time.
In common with the other states in
the union, a state Democratic conven-
ton was called in Georgia and met at
Milledgeville. The writer was pres
ont in Milledgeville at that time. The
convention was a stormy one, and a
great many bitter and violent speeches
were made. The two speeches that at
tracted most attention were made by
two of Georgia's most eloquent and
gifted men, Governor Herschel V.
johnson and General Henry R. Jack
sen, each representing different views
as to the best policy for the party to
pursue. 1t was a battle of giants.
The majority of the conventions
agreed to elect a new set Of delegates
to attend the convention to meet in
Baltimore, Md. Among the delegates
elected were the following (the writer
does not recall all of them, but these
will show the character of the dele
gation) Henry L. Benning, Henry R.
Jackson, James Jackson, David C.
aBrrow, Isaiah T. Erwin, Lewis Tum-

SAFETY FIRST.

The traffic committee from the
E,lks, in cooperation with the city and
county authorities, have very properly
laid down certain rules and regula-
tions regarding the traffic for today,
Thursday and Friday
Americas will entertain the largest
gathering in her history and it is nee
essary to take extraordinary precau-
lions to avoid any accidents. No one
wants the pleasant season of merri-
ment married by any unfortunate acct
dent brought on by some careless
automobile driver.
The violators of the traffic regula-
tons and the speed ordinance should
be punished to the full limit of the
law, and it is to be hoped that they
will be shown no mercy if brought be-
fore the recorders court.
These regulations are published in
todays Times Recorder. They are
plain, common sense and reasonable.
Safety First" should go hand i.
hand with Hello Bill" The Elks will
have a good time, but no better time
than Americas will have.
Every good citizen, young and old,
big and little, should familiarize them
selves with these regulations and OBJ
serve them. 1t is life or death.

Boys and girls who have been bend

macy, and give such children Vinol,

which contains the three oldest tones

lin, Philamon Tracy, Jack Jones, James
A Hodge, E. L. Strohecker, Mark W.
Johnson, John A Cobb. A minority
Of the convention withdrew and met in
the reading room of Browns hotel, and
elected a set of delegates also to at
tend the Baltimore convention. Both
sets of delegates reported at Baltimore
and after reference to the credentials
committee, the minority delegation
were given seats in the convention.
The Honorable Caleb Cushing, of
Massachusetts,, was president of the
convention. After a stormy session of
several days, the Massachusetts dele
cation, headed by Caleb Gushing, and
a large number of delegations from
the convention. Those remaining in
the convention nominated Stephen A.
Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson for
PRESIDENT and vice president of the
United States.
The seeding delegations, with the
majority delegation from Georgia, or
ganized the National Democratic con-
vention, and nominated John c. Breck,
enridge and Joseph Lane, as the demo-
cratic candidates for president and
vice president of the United States.
The dissention in the democratic par
ty, which caused the split and enabled
the republican party to elect Abraham
Lincoln president of the United States,
the votes received by the two demo-
cratic candidates being more than the
votes received by Lincoln. This dis
sension came from the west.
The recent California incident, from
the same section of the country, is
warning that had better be needed
by our party or history may repeat
itself this fall. The most important
point of preparedness is the unity of
democratic party, and all standing as
enc man behind our wise and great
president, Woodrow Wilson, in whose
election depends the salvation of the
democratic party and the future pros
perity and happiness of the whole
country.

BUFFERS REFLECTIONS.

The Associated Press held its an
nual luncheon in New York this
Week. 1t is needless to introduce the
A. P, for it is the best known news
gathering organization on earth. He
admits no equals and certainly has no
peers. Promptness and reliability are
tie watchwords which has made this
service known throughout the world
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, the
president of Columbia university, was
an honor guest at the luncheon OF the
A. P and his thoughts are always in
teresting. His warning and views are
given in the following extracts Of his
address:
So it is that at this moment, with
a world war raging about US and
presidential campaign opening in front
of US, with years full of fate stretched
out for US to walk in, We are not sure
o. our national unity of thought and
feeling and purpose because of the
p; essence Of disintegrating elements
and forces which weaken our sense of
unity at home and which deprive us
OF the influence abroad which attaches
to unity at home. The grave problem
before the American people today is
that of completing the process of ma
BODYBUILDING. 1t is the problem OF
setting our house in order. 1t is the
problem of migrating America. 1t is
the problem of subordinating every
personal ambition, every class interest
aid policy, every race attachment, to
tie one dominant idea of an America
free, just powerful, forward-facing,
that shall stand out in the history Of
nations as the name of a people who
conceive the mission and their true
greatness to lie in service to mankind.
We are the inheritors of great tradi
ton. What poets and philosophers
have dreamed that We are trying day
by day to do. Our standings, our
bjunders, our shortcomings are many.
but if we keep our hearts clean and
our heads clear he who a thousand
years from now writes the history Of
liberty and justice and happiness
among men, will be able to tell to
those far-of generations the story of
the rise and influence of the American
nation.
The year 1916 is but one member
OF an infinite series. Countless aeons
have gone before it, and countless
aeons will come after it. The physical
forces Of nature will go their way
through indefinite time, performins
their allotted functions, obeyiug their
peculiar laws and undergoing those
manifold changes and transmutations
which make up the heavens and the
earth. Not so with the reputation and
the influence of a nation. Opportunity
will not knock forever at any door. It.
is knocking now at the door Of the
American people. To come to consci-
BUSINESS Of national purpose, to come 20
conviction as to wise method and
policy at home, to come to an under
standing Of the character and aim OF
an attitude toward other nations that
is to be maintained and defended be

the imperative and compelling duty Of
this moment
