largely to the party success. He won

John Tyler the Vice President. was
living on his farm, on the Virginia
peninsula He was. in fact, President
for about forty hours before he knew
it. He couldn't be reached by railroad

Mother of Presidents" cast the vote
that decided Harrison should be the
candidate. The democratic convention
was an Indifferent affair. Van Buren,

tanned by Van Buren,.
THE democrats started in to be-

story that he lived in a log cabin and
drank hard cider. The wings promptly
saw the log cabin" as a picturesque
feature. and as the popular enthusiasm
in the contest grew and great crowds
gathered for mass meetings the log
cabin had a conspicuous place in the
parades as a symbol Of the simplicity
