Meanwhile dirt farmers who yes

a brilliant speech, by Senator
Young Bob LaFolette of Wis

La Toilette fought losing fight
but good one, and when he ended
the galleries cheered him loudly and
the delegates themselves applauded.
His speech had been interrupted
by still another demonstration for
President Coolidge's veto of the
McNary- Haugen bill La Toilette
good naturedly thanked his audi

Wisconsin representative, but
said he did not agree with its pur-
pose. His good humor won his lis

La Toilette had the galleries with
him. On nearly every plank he had
some applause.
There was drama in the spectacle

and the son was getting good
reception through the sheer force of
his oratory and personality, though

elected Presidents and two days later
he did appoint Clay secretary of state.
The next four years were years Of
distress for the new President. With
the war cry Of Bargain and Corrup-
tion." the Democrats did everything
in their power to embarrass Adams
and the bitterness of the campaign
of 1924, which was carried over DUR
ing those four years, gave warning
that the campaign of 1928 would be
even worse. The campaign Of 1928
opened with Adams as a candidate to-
succeed himself and Jackson, who
with his friends were firmly convinced
that, he had been cheated out of the
Presidency by the bargain between
Clay and Adams and was determined
to justify that belief, as Adams prin-
cipal opponent. No better descrip-
tion of this famous (or infamous)
campaign q hundred years ago has
been written than is the one contained
in the book presidential Years 1885,
1860" by Meade Minnegerode pub
lished recently by G. P. Putman's
Sons. In the chapter Friends Of Cen
erai Jackson he characterizes it
thus:

a friend of duellists--an inccngruous
charge surely from the jackson camp:

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

from voting for him; and. of course, he
had made corrupt bargain with Hen

The .wreckage was dragged to the
polls and General Jackson was elected.
He had some hundred and thirty mine

Adams, one hundred and seventy-eigh

as against eighty-three from ten. "A

yet 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

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.
1T 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-

iiential 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 a 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, 1t is nee
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
procession to the executive mansion
by Virginia aristocrats- George Wash
ston, Thomas Jefferson, James
madison, and James Monroe, with one
New England aristocrat, John Adams,
slipping In for a 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. sold
Hickory" the military hero of
Tennessee. New England offered John
Quincy Adams as the candidate of the
dying Fedefalists. The heir apparent
Of the Virginia dynasty was william
"a. Crawford, secretary of the treas
ury, Georgian, born in the Old
Dominion.
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
race when stricken with paralysis
and made speechless, almost blind.
and helpless. AS the campaign pro-
crossed It became apparent that Jack

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 80 votes in the
electoral college, Adams, "a, 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
tion 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. 1t soon became
gossip around Washington that Ciay'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
