were specified and the misdemeanors
that were alleged, consisted almost
, wholly Of the presidents attempts to
remove Stanton without the consent Of
the senate.
This most important trial in Ameri-
can history began on March S, 1868,
with the senate chamber crowded and
Chief Justice Chase of the Supreme
court in the chair.
There was Il general expectation
that the senate would convict, no mat
ter how flirsy the case, and crowds
of eager paEtisans focked to Washing
ton to enjoy the spectacle Of White
House eyiction-to see candy walk the
plank" Senator Ben Wade of Ohio
was confident to the last that he
would 'be called on, as president of
the senate, to take Johnson's place.
His inaugural is said to have been
written and his cabinet selected, with
General Butler of Massachusetts, for
secretary of state.
AS The roll of the senate was called,
amid :Aushed suspense, the Eepub'i-
can senator's all voted for conviction,
until the chief justice asked. "Mr.
Senator FesSenden. how say you? Is
the respondent. Andrew Johnson, pres
ident of the United States, guilty or
not guilty of high misdemeanor as
charged in this article?"
"Not guilty." answered the distin
guished senator from Maine, who had
been in Lincoln's cabinet. The party
alignment was broken and it was again
broken in another moment by Senator
Grimes Of Iowa, who had been stricken
with paralysis under the strain Of the
trial, but who managed to struggle to
his feet when his name was called.
Trumbull Of Illinois, an old friend CT
Lincoln, was another man Of ability
and distinction among the seven Re
publican senators who broke away and
joined the Democrats. Yet there were
thirty-fve votes Tor conviction against
only nineteen fol- acQuittal, just one
less than the two-thirds necessary to
convict.
By a single vote the unique inde-
pendence of the American presidency,
which makes it the most eminent and
powerful political Office in the world,
was saved. Had congress triumphed,
the first long step would have been
taken toward congressional govern
ment on the pattern Of the parliamen-
tary governments Of Europe.

the solitude Of his study at the White
House In those anxious days before
the assembling of congress. He could
not divide the burden of such heavy
responsibility; he had to bear it alone
and without a precedent to guide him.
Should we give a further trial tC
armed neutrality? Or should we en-
ter upon an independent naval war
fare against the submarine menace. to
our shipping? Or should we back. the
allies with money and supplies. but
leave them to do the fighting? Or
should we join forces with them unre-
servedly, contrary to the historic pol
icy Of America to go it alone?
Those alternatives were in. every
mind in that hewildering. period, and
the president mad to choose between
them in framing the policy to be sub
mitted to congress. He made the
bolder choice Of going into full part
nership with the entente allies, pool
ing with them all our resources, our
man power, our money power and our
producing power.
The broad plan which he unfolded
and which congress quickly approved
assured in advance the success of the
great, unparalleled undertaking, and
he pushed it through to victory with
grim, unrelentipg persistence. Ameri-
cans generally assumed at the start,
and the British government agreed
with them, that we should not have
to send a great army to Europe, if in
deed any at all. But when it became
an imperative necessity to go al
double quick to the relief of the bro
ken line in France, the foundation was
so well laid that we rose to the un-
foreseen emergency, building up IL q
year and q half an army Of 100000
and ferrying 100000 soldiers across
the Atlantic.
/. The brains of the country, all the
talents, were modified for the war

railroad men, labor leaders and cler-
gymen, each being charged with the
task for which his training fitted him.
'sIt is a race between Wilson and
Hindenburg," said Lloyd George, When
the big German drive surprised the
entente and smashed through its
front in the spring Of 1913. Well,
whoever won the war, Hindenburg
lost that race.
The rest-the presidents Journeys
to Europe, the. treaty and the battle
over it, are history still in the max
ing. Many years must pass before
that extraordinary chapter in. the story
of tbs presidency will be finished and
may be told in the spirit Of historical
