lister to Russia he had, so they did not
hesitate to insist, sold an American
servant girl to the czar; he was
Mason--it was the time of popular ani-
mostly toward Masonry-and when he
officially denied he was a Mason, 1t
made no difference, he was still a
Mason: he was plotting to announce
General Jackson's death just before
the election in order to prevent citizens
from voting for him; and, of course, he
HAD made a corrupt bargain with Hen
ry Clay. 1t speaks conspicuously for
the integrity of his conduct in thirty
years of distinguished public service
that the Jacksoniarfss could find no
thicker mud to fling at him.
The wreckage was dragged to the
polls and General Jackson was elected.
He had some hundred and thirty-nine
Thousand more popular votes than Mr..
Adams, one hundred and seventy-eight
electoral ballots from seventeen states,
as against eighty-three from ten. "A
movement OF the people.'sa revolt of
democracy against aristocracy' '--ard
vet Mr.. Charming points out some curl
Gus electoral details. General Jackson
was elected by the solid South, and,
according to the federal ratio in 1928
each southern elector represented only
rs, 600 free persons while his northern
colleagues each represented $4,000. And
with the solid South General Jackson
could not have secured majority Of
the electoral votes without the rein-
forcement OF Pennsylvania and New
York. (,
at would SEEM Mr.. Claiming con-
cludes, THAT Jackson was raised TO
the Presidency by the overrepresenta-
ton of the South combined with the
employment Of the most unjustifiable
methods by his partisans in Pennsyl-
vania and in New York. On the whole
possibly it was more honorable to have
been defeated In 1928 than to have
been elected"
And Mr.. Mcdonald. in his Jackso-
MAN Democracy remarks that-'To per-
sonal vindication Of Jackson was added
emphatic popular Endorsement of the
social ana political order with which
he was identified. In the election of
jackson the people turned
their backs on their early principles
of craftsmanship. and Entrusted the
conduct Of the federal government to
an unframed. self-willed. passionate
frontier soldier. That he was not of the
old schoolswas, in the eyes of his sup,
porters, commentator. A
great democracy will never be gov
erned for long together by its best
men but by its average. To the aver,
age voter in 1898, jackson was a great
popular leader because they held him
to be also a typical Democrat"
1t was the end OF a cultivated. dis
eliminating iera: the close of the suc-
cession, whatever the idiosyncracies
and limitations, of seemly persons, of
capable intellects, or Tneritorfous
achievements, such as the founders of
the Republic had efivisaged as destined
to dignity the chief magistracy of the
nation, to mature its councils and to
grace its annals. Washington, Adams,
Jefferson, Madison. Monroe. Adams.
The quality of that succession was not.
except at rare intervals, to be attained
again by the average personalities, the
popular politicians, the convention
compromises who were to follow. II
was indeed, with slight future Inter-
ruptions, the final triumph Of democ-
racy.

n idential campaign, it is in
teresting to compare the campaign of
1928 with that of hundred years
ago. Although no one can safely
prophecy what the dominant issue in
this years contest will be nor wheth-
er the potential dynamite which now
seems to be concealed in some of the
issues will explode into bitterness
which has been lacking in Twentieth
century campaigns, it is certain that
there is, little chance of the discus
sion Of candidates and policies reach
ing the depth Of vituperation, mud
Singing, and general hatred that
characterized the campaign of the year
Of 1928.
To understand the reason for the
bitterness of this campaign, it is nee
I essary to review briefly the previous
one, that Of 1924, when John Quincy
Adams was elected President over
Andrew jackson. This campaign of
1924 was, in fact, the first real Presi-
dental contest. Heretofore the Presi-
dency had been more or less of a
procession to the executive mansion
by Virginia aristocrats George Wash
gton. Thomas Jefferson, James
Madison, and james Monroe, with one
New England aristocrat, John Adams,
slipping In for single term. But
by 1924 the West had begun to assert
Itself and for the first time put for
ward two candidates, Henry Clay of
Kentucky and Andrew Jackson, "Old
Hickory" the military hero Of
Tennessee New England offered John
Quincy Adams as the candidate of the
dying Federalists. The heir apparent
4 Of the Virginia dynasty was William
Fl. Crawford, secretary Of the treas
ury, a Georgian, born in the Old
Dominion.l
At that time nominations were
made by the caucus method and this
was destined to be the last of the
kind in the country. Despite the criti-
cisms Of the caucus method one was
held and Crawford twas recommended
to the people of the United States"
However, he was eliminated from the

Carolina as the candidate for vice
president. was leading. When the
returns were all in it was found that
Calhoun had been elected vice presi-
dent with little opposition, but that
Jackson would have SO votes in the
electoral college, Adams, 81, Craw-
ford. Al and clay, 81. Since none OF
the Presidential candidates had OBJ
tanned an electoral majority, under
the terms Of the Constitution the cleo
ton was thrown into the house of
representatives. which would choose
among the three highest candidates.
Clay, Of course, was eliminated, Craw-
ford could also be counted out, so
that the contest narrowed down to
Jackson and Adams. It soon became
gossip around Washington that Clay's
strength would be thrown to Adams
and that Adams in return would ap-
point Clay as secretary of state. For
weeks the capital was in turmoil
with charges and counter charges fly
ing thick and fast. The upshot of it
all was that in the final balloting
