Inherited Politics.

| Eds. Freeman-Tribune: In the
election of 1892, my grandfather cast
his first ballot. Great grandfather
was staunch supporter Of Andrew
Jackson; his support was not limited
to mere talk, but he was sufficiently
Eactive in the interest of his favorite
candidate to bring load of good
Jacksonian democrats to the polls.
He took his>ox team and huge wagon
land gathering his sons and neigh
bors, drove some ten miles to the
polls. There was much jollification
and a great deal of praise of methods
and characteristics of "Old Hickory"
while very little was said of his OPP
ponent, the brilliant Henry Clay.
AS the party loaded up and started
for home, great grand father looked
|around and with great pride remark
ed, "a fine load-and every one a
Democrat" Hold on" shouted one
member-"Peter voted for Clay"
Great grandfather stopped his or
en- and turning upon his son with a
look of awful disgust, said, Peter,
did you vote for the Whigs?" Eyes,
sir. did, responded Peter. VERY
well, then, you may get out and
walk"-and so grandfather had a
ten mile walk, for having exercised
his own judgment. Perhaps the in
justice of his treatment only deepen
ed his determination to be Wing,
Free Soil and then Republican. In
1856 he voted for Fremont, though
the democratic candidate that year
was a near relative, but whose poll
tics and side-stepping on the slavery
issue, grandfather abhorred. In 1860
and '64 he voted for Abraham Lin
coin, and three of his sons did like
wise. The old gentleman lived long
enough to ride to the polls with his
grandson and vote as did his grand
sui TIC o6iuC pal tAdl iiC 'lu ia
1856, and also in the same place, for
he came to Webster City in the early
SOS. 1t is rather an interesting COM
mentary to notice the changes that
have occurred since then. Great
grandfather was a farmer whose sons
and grandsons and great grandsons
have been farmers. He went to the
polls in an OK wagon. His great
grandsons may go in autos. In those
days great grandmother probably had
a. tallow candle lighted, waiting his
return from the polls. Probably she
had the chores" done and was plac-
idly knitting when he came back. She
dutifuily to his accounts OF
the voting, but she offered no COM
ment. Why should she? She had no
need to know any more than he told
her.
In her own way. she might make
soft soap. She was always an expert
in this; in her own way she might

CuMMlNS At the CONVENTION,

Iowa had a candidate for the presi-
dency and it was a bona fide candi
dacy. more than a favorite son as the
vote of five states cast for him would
show, but there was no time the dele
gates began to arrive at which he or
any other candidate than Hughes was
seriously considered. The leaders Of
the big states Of New York, Pennsyl-
vana, Massachusetts, Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois. often referred to as the
bosses. had a working understanding
Roosevelt and nominate Hughes If
Roosevelt could be induced to support
him.
On the first ballot. which is always
the complimentary ballot, both Weeks
and Root had a few more votes than
Cummins received while Burton and
Fairbanks had less The second ballot
which began to express real prefer
ences showed Cummins with the same
80 votes from tlle SdiHt I'VE States Ol
Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, South Da-
kota and Montana, while all but the
winner Hughes and Root and Fair
banks fell below him. Even Roosevelt
himself at no time received many
votes as did the Iowa candidate.
Early in the week Roosevelt could
have dictated the candidate II he had
chosen Cummins for the third party
leaders had indicated that they would
support him but Roosevelt chose to
play the game differently just as he
did four years before. Had he deliv-
cred to Cummins four years ago as
Cummins had every reason to believe
that he would do Wilson would not
have been president and Roosevelt
would nave been a far more Influential
man than he is today.
