that she wanted Warren to win be-

because the task ahead of him is

picketed the republican national con-

have a delegation call upon Senator
Harding while he is in Washington

to secure the ratification Of the con-

states that have not yet ratified, prior
to the November elections. and thus
enfranchise the women of the entire
country.

In view Of the struggle in the
republican national convention in
Chicago, interest has been renewed
in the proceedings Of former conven-
tions. James K. Polk, Franklin Pierce

Seymour and William J. Bryan, on the
occasion Of his first nomination, may
be mentioned as candidates who were
picked as dark horses in tho presi-
Dental race. but who failed of
election.
Martin Van Buren, seemed certain
Of the nomination for President by
the democratic convention that met
at Baltimore in 1874. If all the dele
gates instructed for him had cast
their votes in accordance with in
structions Van Buren would have been
nominated but bitter opposition to
him had been engendered and the
question of the annexation of Texas
soon afterward to provoke war
proved his undoing.
Polk Got Every Vote.
In the convention of 1335 that
nominated Van Buren the two-thirds
rule was enforced in his interest, al
though strongly opposed as unrepub-
lican. In 1914 he was sure of nomina-
ton il the same rule were rejected
There was an exciting debate and
the rule was adopted. Van Buren,
received a majority Of twenty-six on
the first ballot. After seven ballots
one of the delegates submitted a
resolution that Van Buren be declared
the candidate, as he had received a
majority Of votes on the first ballot.
This precipitated an angry debate
over points Of parliamentary law and
eventually the convention returned to
balloting.
On the eighth ballot appeared the
first dark horse in the history of
political conventions When New
was called all its delegates
gave their votes for James X. Polk
of Tennessee. Some other states fol-
