PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS
v. The Harrison-Van Buren, Race of 1910.
-By FREDERIC T. HASKIN----
By T

WASHINGTON, D. CA big meet
ing" was in progress in Giles County,
Virginia, in November. 1910 The circuit
riders were assisted by earnest exhorters
and there'wer many professions of con-
version. One old woman in the neigh
borhood had held out against the efforts
Of the church, She was p4ecing a quilt
a quilt of 10000 pieces. At last, after
two years of toll, the quilt was finished,
and she consented to go to meeting.
On the way to the church she heard a
great piece of news. When she got to
the meeting she rushed to the "mourners'
BENCH" Knelt for a space in prayer and
then arose, shouting: "Glory to God My
quilt is finished; my soul is saved; and
Tippecanoe is elected y
To the Wings of 1910 souls salvation
and the election Of William Henry Har-
rigon were matters Of equal Importance.
The campaign was not so much politi-
cal campaign as it was a Hallelujah
Chorus sung by the triumphant Wings.
1t was the most exciting political race
of our history, and 1t ended by the over
whelming election of William Henry Har-
rison to be President, and John Tyler 10
be Vice President. 1t was the FIRST cam
palgn in which cartoons, emblems, pop
ular slogans and political songs had 8
vogue, and it was the first in which q
candidate for President took the stump
to appeal to the voters directly.
"And have you heard the news from
Maine?
How it went.
He'll bent
And Tippecanoe and Tyler, too,
For Tippecanoe and Tyler, too! e
That was one Of the many great Wing
songs of the campaign. 1t has lived
because Of the alliterative lit of the
refrain, For Tippecanoe and Tyler,
Too" and because of the memory OF
the tornado of enthusiasm which greet
ted its appearance. 1t was in September
Of the campaign. Harrison was well in
the lead, but the Wan Buren, administra-
ton and the old Jackson machine were
straining to stem the Wing uprising. The
September elections in Maine were then,
as now, taken >as straws to show the
trend Of the political air currents.
Horace Greeley entered the arena Of
national politics in this year, He started
a campaign paper in New York called
The Log Cabin. In every issue it printed
from ten to twenty Wing campaign
songs. On the day It presented the glo-
rious news of the redemption of Maine, +"
for Maine had been a strong Democratic
state, it also, Published the words and
music of the song, 'Tippecanoe and

This is one of the many instances
where the Republican county commits
sioners have signalfY failed to do their
duty. Many OF their appropriations, ac-
cording to the reports of the State board
of accounts, have been unlawful, but

cerned about the lavish and unlawful
expenditure Of money which has been
made.

henceforth to discard all those once

Noble DAUGHTER of Italy,

Like the wing of a dove across a
red battlefield of horrid curses, the
form of Vittoria Colonna, noble Ro-
man lady, glides across the terrible
horizon of Lucretia Borgia. The two,
Lucretia and Vittoria, had the same
environment of civic and social life in
Rome. The one drank lust and cor
ruption; the other pure drops of
heaven. 1t was the era Of Michael An
gelo. The rising young genius in Rome
was painting the portrait Of Vittoria
Colonna. The portrait is like a nun
at vespers. Vittoria Colonna was of
the distinguished Roman family of
great antiquity, the "Colonna." She
was a woman of brilliant parts, a poet
and scholar. Married at nineteen to
the duke Of Aratos, after his death on
the battlefield in the Franco-Italian
wars she remained a widow the rest
Of her life. Her poems, "Rime Spir-
itual," have great charm. It was dur
ing her stay in Rome that she formed
the passionate attachment to Michael
Angelo that inspired many of the
great sculptor's sonnets and verses.
She died at the convent of San Sill
vestro, her soul like a silver dove
winging away from the turbulent six.
