The History of Presidential Elections
V-The Four-Cornered Fight i'm 1924
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN

From 1900 to 1924 the Democratic
Republican forces elected three PreSi-
dents, jefferson, Madison and Monroe,
for two terms each. and the Federaltst
party almost disappeared. Monroe S
second election would have been unaTli-
nous had not one New Hampshire
elector decided that no man but Wash
ington should have the unanimous
choice. The Nation grew and pros
pered. 1t became evident that the
! 1924 selection would be made from per-
sonal popularity rather than on party
basis
The twelfth amendment. following
the jefferson Burr tie election, provided
separate voting for President and Vice
President and eliminated the cause OF
the 1900 debacle, but it seemed likely
that in 1924 there might be no majority
of electors for President, and the cleo
ton would then go to the House, which
under the amendment must choose
among the three men having the most
electoral votes.
Candidates Sprang up to right ana
left. Monroe was beSought To take a
third term, but adhered TO precedent

Secretary of State. was candidate, ana
50 was William H Crawford. Secretary
of War. Henry Clay, Speaker OF the
House. and Andrew Jackson, Senator
from Tennessee. were the favoriteS oil
the West. Monroe had hard time re-
naming neutral. and Crawford espe-
cially accused him of faithlessneSs IN
not supporting the War Secretary
Monroe considered removing him from
tha cabinet. and is said to have once
ordered him out of the White House,
although rivals thought the PRESIDENT
was favoring Crawford.
Crawford Nominated by Caucus.
A caucus of congressman nominated
Crawford the last time this method was
tried. The Tennessee Legislature pro-
posed Jackson. South Carolina of1ereo
FIRST William Lowndes and then john
c. Calhoun. The latter decided later
10 seek the vice presidency ana ran
on both the Adams and Jackson tickets
and won a majority for the second Of
fee. Massachusetts had an unpledgeu
ticket for Adams and Ohio proposed
Clay after futile gesture for Dewitt
Clinton.
Adams sought to win Jackson to ac-
cept the vice presidency and gave a
great testimonial dinner to the popular
soldier on the anniversary OF the
battle of New Orleans. but Old Hickory
decided to fight for first place.

self afterward repeated the charge.
When the House voted, Adams won on
the first ballot He declared to the COM
mittee which notified him of his cleo
ton that If the Constitution had pro-
vided method whereby he could do 1t.
he would have resigned and resubmitted
his case to the people.
Jackson Grows Bitter.
The Jackson adherents were bitter
about the result, and it marked a sep
arating point between rival wings of
the long established Democratic Repub-
lican party The Jacksonites retained
simply the name of Democrats, and the
Adams-Clay group became known first
as National Republicans but soon adopt
ed the name Of Wings. Old lines of
cleavage we're soon to be renewed. The
charter of the United States Bank was
nearing its termination, and the Demo-
Gratis would get back to the Jefferso-
Man basis of opposition to centralized
money power. The tariff was also com-
ing to the front as an issue, with New
England the center Of high tariff doc-

 Novelties in Belts

Paris, March 2S.-OP- Belts are still an important part Of fashion. but they are not the same. Many novelties have been accepted by the designers,
 Croeheted belts are among the newest and most popular in the spring showngs. They may be Of white or the color of the dress. Belts of especially knitted jersey are also featured, particularly in meta. veaves. although frequently they are in plain colors of the sports costume they are worn with.
 Beaded belts, worked on the dress are the accepted evening fashion and one dressmaker emhroders belts on sports costumes with light tops and dark skirts.

Four Hundred Models

To try and enumerate all the new ideas which Jean Patou has put int o execution would be too lengthy d matter, seeing that he has something like four hundred models and that each one Of them is different. That he has delved into the fashions Of the 1S90's for inspiration is evident in his use of fiounces and the plac- ing of fullness at the back Of the skirt; these points, together with q nearly normal Waistline. are suffici- ent in themselves to cause much comment. His three new colors are unexpected and brilliant, at least in the case Of his English red and Jap anese green, and call for a great dis. crimination in their wearing. His third color, which he calls egg shell white,' cannot be described, but is meant 10 oust white. This color has a very small Dart in his new collection.
