PART PLAYED BY THIRD PARTY
IN HISTORY OF u. S. POLITICS

throughout the years the third partys
candidates have had some measure of : 9
success in getting their Candidates
into both branches of Congress. Be%''
tween 1910 and 1850 il was the anti,s !
Masonic party and the anti-Catholic
party. Then in 1856 came the Amerf-"
can party. which was a Developments
OF the anti-Masonic, anti-Catholic and
anu-foreign contests. 49,
The third party probably achieved ?
its most notable record in the Thirty
fourth Congress. when the Americans -
had two members of the Senate and
twenty three members of the House.
They held the balance Of power and
for more than two months prevented c
the election of a Speaker under the
majority rule. Finally. by an agree-r'
ment, Nathaniel p. Banks of Massa- y
chusetts was elected-the only Speak >
er in the history of the United States
government who was elected under :
a plurality rule. He was elected on
the 1880 viva voce vote and the fourth -
vote under the plurality rule adopted; -
In 1861 the American party gava5y
way before the unionists. During
1S61-63 there were two unionists iu
the Senate and twenty-eight in the
House. They affiliated with the res
publicans and in 1864 Lincoln. the re-
publican candidate, was elected on e e
union ticket"
Then came the liberal republicans
with seven members in the Senate and Is
five in the House, in 1S73-'75. Next the
greenbackers held attention and got six
teen members into the House in 1SS1-'S3s
The greenbackers continued active for
several Congresses. An interesting side-av

Success Of Marine School.
Good progress is being made at the
Marine Corps Institute at Quantico,
Va, in vocational and educational
training of marines to better fit them
for civil pursuits when their enlist
ments expire. Twenty-Five courses
are offered, and there are more than
400 students in regular attendance.
The school is conducted along the
lines employed by leading civic in
stitutions, giving military instruction.
Marines do not have to be stationed
at Quantico to get the beneht OF the
instruction. They may enroll for cor
respondence courses with exactly the
same course of study, the same serv-
ice and the same advantages as regu-
lar students with civic correspond

Institute.

Harold Bachman's million Dollar
Band" which will play at the High
School Auditorium here Friday eve
ming under the auspices of the AM
erican Legion, made a hit on its APP
pearance his week in Atlanta, where
it remainci in concert for three days.
The following by o. B. Keller in the
Atlanta Journal tells of its initial
programs:
The opening concerts of the mil
lion Dollar Band" in Atlanta, at the
Wesley Memorial auditorium Mon
day afternoon and evening, and the
bands subsequent playing at the
dance in Taft hall. marked the Har-
old Bachman organization as thor
ougly ADEQUATE and lively band, of
the type that can present any kind
of music as the occasion arises.
An idea of this bands versatility
may be gained from the Monday eve
ming program as follows: 81.

Cornet solo. king Carnival

cts worth million dollars to

France, referring to the band when
it was functioning as an artillery
organization and so it got its name.
The set program was amplified by
many encores, sometimes two or
three being granted after particu-
larly enthusiastic applause. Sousa's
greatest march, "The Stars and
Stripes Forever" had to be repeat
ed, being played with singularly
inspiring effect in the second move
ment, which, as directed by Mr..
Bachman, is built upon curiously
engaging foundation in the way of
a tuba obligato. The climax is pre-
scented as by the famous Sousa band,
with the full line of brass across the
front, lifting the audience out of its
chairs with the swing and sweep of
its melody. The sextet from "Lu-
ella" also was played conventionally,
with an instrument for each voice.
