created by removal, death or
resignation, according to the
general belief.
Postmaster General Burleson

at this time to make it clear that

How Jackson was Made President.

"A pig caused the election of
Andrew Jackson to the Presi-
dency," said Mr.. Cummins in
Washington the other day, in
discussing this theory. "A
Rhode Island farmer, who was
on his way to vote for a member
of the State Legislature, heard
one of his pigs squeal. Going
back he found that one of the
porkers had got caught in the
gate. 1t took him several minu-
tes to free the animal, and when
he finally got to the polling place
he found it closed and so was I'M
able to cast his ballot.
1.-The candidate for the Legis-
iature for whom the farmer
meant to vote was defeated by
just one vote, which of course,
was lacking because the farmers
pig got fast in the gate. The
man who was elected instead to
the Legislature voted for GER

Senator, ana this man was elect
ed by one vote. Afterwards this
Senator was called on to vote on
the question of declaring war on
Great Britain, and the PROPOSE

Zone of the battles of the war
with Great Britain that ensued
is known to historians as the
Battle of New Orleans. Every
one knows that the hero of this
battle was Andrew Jackson His
victory over the British there
made him quite a popular nan,
and this eventually led to his
election to the Presidency. In
