Proximity of Andrew Jackson to

If Shakespeare had ever carried
out his threat OF laying curse on
any vandal who would move his
bones it would probably have been
Il tame affair whatever form 1t
might have taken compared to the
storm that has been raised in the
press and elsewhere over the pro-
posal to move the statue of Andrew
Jackson that stands across the ave-
nue. from the White House gates. 1t
seems a far cry from 1923 partisan
ship to the bronze reproduction OF
national hero who died more than
three-Quarters OF century ago.
Nevertheless the storm has a decided
democrat-versus-r republican tinge.

equestrian statue of Andrew jackson

statue of "one of the heroes of the

Organized opposition to the pro-
