port the 1920 national conventions
for this newspaper.
I The Mckinley convention of 1896
was a fixed" convention. 1t had
been fixed by the famous Marcus Au-
relius Hanna, business man of Cleve-
land, o. 1t was fixed that William
Mckinley, eX-congressman from Ohio,
should be nominated. 1t was fixed by
a carefully-planned campaign of
publicity and organization of the Re
publican party.
There was no uncertainty, no
drama" no action.
The country had experienced sew
eral years of ''hard times" following
the panic of 1898. In the west the
farmers had suffered poor crops and
were unable to pay their mortgages
and interest to eastern capital
Mark Hanna was quick to realize
the psychology Of the situation. He
picked out Mckinley, who had been
prominent as a high tariff champion
while in Congress, and who was a
conservative, conventional and safe"
business mans type of candidate.
Hanna raised money without trou-
BILE among business men to finance
the plan to make Mckinley the Re-
publican nominee. For more than a
year before the convention the work
went on.
The practical workers in the Re-
publican party organization were con-
vinced that Mckinley would be a
good tariff and prosperity candidate,
and in various parts of the country
little paragraphs began to appear in
the papers educating the voter to this
idea.
At the end of the year the public
was educated" and the delegates
"hand-piCked."
A few weeks before the convention
took place. an effort was made to
bring out Tom Reed, sneaker of the
House of Representatives as a rival
candidate.
The Reed movement never devel-
oped any strength. Long before they
met in the convention hall, it was so
well recognized that Mckinley would
be nominated, that the only interest
was that which centered about the
platform.

No wonder the plum market ad-

FAMOUS CONVENTIONS OF OTHER YEARS
HOW HANNA FIXED G. o. P. GOLD"
CONVENTION, CANDIDATE-PLATFOR
BY gibson GARDNER,

port the 1920 national conventions
for this newspaper
Americus times-recorder., 1920-05-25

He held conventions in the hollow
of his hand-the late Mark Hanna, Of
Ohio.
Republican managers had noticed the
mutterings of free silver. These
mutterings were coming from the
west, and it was evident that the
money issue would have to be faced
Everybody crowded the rooms oc-
cupied by Mark Hanna. He was the
recognized leader, and everybody
wanted to know what he intended to
do about the money plank in the
platform. He was frank and de-
termined. He said the convention
would come out fiat-footedly for the
gold standard.
1t did so and the tariff issue was
crowded into the background. Sound
money and prosperity" were the is
sues, and the campaign slogan was
the famous full dinner pail"-a trib-
ute to the inventiveness of Mark
Hanna.
The convention went quickly and
tamely through the forms of nomi-
mating speeches and the roll calls and
adopted the monetary declaration
handed it by Hanna, and got ready
for the real fight which was precipi-
tated when the Chicago convention a
little later nominated William J..
Bryan, following his famous Gross
of Gold and Crown of Thorns"
speech.

WHY THE CAR SHORTAGE.
There Is No Discrimination Against
Barre Shippers.

Traffic Manager c. d. Waters OF the
Quarters and Manufacturers assoei-
alton announced this morning that the
freight car supply is exceedingly bad,
the Grand Trunk railway, the central
Vermont, Boston & Maine, New YORK,
New Haven & Hartford railway OH
Gals having said alike, that at the
present time they are unable to secure
cars sufficient for their own use.
This scarcity Of ears is due in great
measure TO the elementary conditions
that have prevailed all over the coun-
try, but in large part to the general
shortage of cars. As matter OF general
information, this condition is by no
means local. Complaints from every
corner of the United States are daily
pouring into Washington, many COM
ing from municipalities through boards
of trades. senators, or whatever chan
mel will have the most weight or re-
ceive the most immediate service OF the
government railway administration. IL
may be OF interest to shippers to note
the following statement which Is TAX
en- from the Traffic World Of Feb. IA
that represents testimony given before
an investigation committee in Wash
ington.
but if the gentleman will read the
testimony given before an investigation
committee in the Senate, he will find
that at AshyiIle, 5. C., there stood
for twenty days on the track there,
1928 ears, unloaded by government,
and the government paid ISL 900 for
demurrage on empty cars. The ears are
now being held on various sidetracks
all over the country to the detriment OF
the business of the country, because Of
the lack of efficiency in the administra-
ton OF the railroads under government
control" said Representative Fordney
OF Michigan
This will give Barre shippers little
light on the conditions existing which
prevent the necessary number Of cars
from appearing to distribute their prod
uets. It isalso given to show that no dis
elimination is made against them be-
cause of the industry or the geographi-
cal location 1t is a national problem
