Equally precocious in politics, Van
Buren, was chosen delegate to
political convention before he was Of
age; was appointed county surrO-
gate at twenty-five; elected to the
state senate at thirty; appointed at
torney general of the state at thirty
two and at thirty-eight he was select
ed a senator of the United States.
Already he was at the head Of the
ALBANY Regency" which continued
to run the Democratic machine in
New York and to dominate the nation
al councils of that party for sixty
years to come His skill in political
manipulation made him known all over
the country as the Little Magician"
Playing the game of politics only
as New Yorker can and as all New
Workers in public life do, Van Buren,
was the first to make his way into
the White House in gumshoes. Per-
haps his caution as a politician has
lost him the credit due him for his
craftsmanship, which he displayed in
more than one grave emergency. A
popular story reflected the general
impression of his artful lodging.
Once while he was a passenger on a
Hudson river boat an anti-Van
Buren, man said to Van Buren, man
I'll bet you the price Of the pas
sage that you can't go to him now
and get straight answer to the
simplest question that you can ask"
The challenged man, confidently
taking the bet, went up to his favor
lite and inquired if he did not think
the weather. was fine.
"Well," was the careful measured
reply, ''that is relative term

"By thunderl". the Van Burenite

Van Buren, took the party nomination

When the day Of reckoning and re-
morse came; when. bread riots broke
out: when laborers stood in line near
New York to get jobs at a wage OF
81 a month and board; when banks
suspended payments in coin, ana when
business houses were tumbling into
bankruptcy, the bankers and business
men, who had always been violently
anti-Democratic turned upon Van
Buren, and pointed their accusing fin
gers at the White House. The fore
most man of business in conservative
New England, Abbott Lawrence, did
not hesitate to hint to public meet
ing In Boston, the incendiary sugges'
tion that the time might come for
forcible resistance to the government,
when the crew, as he said, would have
to mutiny and seize the ship Of state
Van Buren, faced the gale without
bending. He rose above political
maneuvering and the temptation to
fiatter the mad passions Of the hour
and preserved an attitude Of mas
terful inactivity!
The president did call congress In
extra session, but only to recommend
the adoption of the sub-treasury sys.
TEN. The banks having failed, he pro-
posed that Uncle Sam, like timid old
woman, should lock up his money In
the bureau drawer. Ard the economic
folly Of the sub-treasury was persisted
in until the establishment Of the 2ed-
eral reserve system.

MARTIN VAN buren, was the
Iva first machine made politician in

that when put to the test; he was the
first Of the presidents to have been
born under the American flag, rather
than under. the British, and he and
Roosevelt are the only presidents not
wholly descended from inhabitants of
the United Kingdom.
Sprung from Dutch families on both
sides, Van Buren, married into a Dutch

language Of his ancestors. He was
born and he died in little Rip Van

the Hudson, where his father was a
