charging him with being a Federal
list. Crawford vas clearly the favor
lite, but this charge hurt. North Car
DINA and New Jersy practically de-
serted him. Still he retained the adj
vantage. According to custom the
party was to caucus in Congress and
make the nomination. Crawford was
confident. Adams, jackson and Clay
were They combined to at
tack the infamity of the caucus sys-
tenn, denouncing it as anti-republican,
the agency for robbery of the peo-
pies rights. Martin Van Buren, of
New York, genius in politics and with
a powerful organization back of him,
tried his best to check the reform
wave, but the combined scheming of
the opposition could not be overcome.
The caucus was called. The galleries
were packed to suffocation, but the
members were only ~scantily repre-
scented. An effort was made to adj
journ but Van Buren,, battling for
Crawford, opposed it because no mu-
tually convenient date could be set.
The people, he said, expect n nomi-
nation. Then came the ballot: Craw-
ford Ga, Adams 2, Macon 1, Jackson
/. Crawford was declared the nomi-
nee, but 68 votes out of 261 did not
satisfy the people-it meant nothing,
and so the scramble for office went
to the people.
Soon after that Crawford vas
stricken with paralysis, a doctor hay
ing administered lobelia to him. Ev-
cry possible pressure vas brought to
bear to have him withdraw, but he
steadfastly declined. "His pitiful con-
dition" was alluded to by his support
ers and denounced IS hypocritical
propaganda by his enemies. 1t was
quite obvious that with four candi-
dates there would be no election.
Clay believed he could carry Louis
lana, but he came out fourth. jack
son led with a majority over Adams
greater than the entire vote of Craw-
ford or Clay.
The bitterness of the fight grew in
intensity. Public fights were Q com
mon occurrence. Even duels were
fought.
Then came a dramatic episode.
Henry Clay appeared at the Crawford
home and entered. Crawford's hopes
were blasted.

The admission of Missouri as a
state was n of the dominant issues
of the campaign of 1924, which, fail
ing before the people, was decided
by the House of Representatives
The bitterness and %sectionalism of
the contest never has been equalled
the attacks on Crawford being mea-
surably approached only by the in
tensity of malignity with which Presi-
dent Wilson was assailed in some
quarters. The North was openly
against the South, the East desper-
ately against the West.
Arguments, powerful, logical, il
logical, true and untrue, intrigue,
scurrilous attack and vituperative
pickering marked the contest up to
the very moment of the count. AS
today, the western farmer interest
was arrayed against eastern industri-
al forces.
Adams made a deliberate appeal to
New England and the North, charg-
ing tIdl lHc couth was Illuminating
the entire nation in that every presi-
dent for twenty-four years had come
from the South. This phase of the
campaign inflamed both Northerners
and Southerners to o point that was
reached only in the Civil War.
Owing to the difficulties of travel
the speechmaking was of a station
airy character. The candidates had
no opportunity to appear before the
country. Likewise, the press had not
reached any widespread circulation,
and while it played an important part
in the contest locally, chief depend
ence IA placed or the pamphlet. The
pamphleteers were busy day in and
day out. Before the fight vas ended
these organs of publicity developed
into a massof literature of a disgrace
full and, judged by present-day stand
ards, of highly dishonorable charac-
ter.
Few of the pamphlets produced
were of a positive character. Most
ly they were negative, devoted to at
tack and v%illification rather than to
giving reasons why their favorite
sons, they in whose interest they were
written, should be elected. Jackson
was openly attacked as a murderer
a military despot without regard foi
