When yOW
Children Cry
for 1t

Baby has little upsets at times. All
your care cannot prevent them. But you
can be prepared. Then you can do what
any experienced nurse would do-what
most physicians would tell you to do
give few drops Of plain Castoria. No
sooner done than Baby is soothed; re-
lief is just matter of moments. Yet
you have eased your child without use
Of single doubtful drug; Castoria is
vegetable. So it's safe to use as often
as an infant has any little pain you
cannot pat away. And it's always
ready for the crueler pangs of collie, or
constipation or diarrhea; effective, too,
for older children. Twenty-Five million
bottles aoere bought last year.

Voters "seeing" Hoover

Thinking people who have high re-
gard for the history and the back
ground and the future welfare of this
nation are saying, "Vote for Hoover!"
1t has been swelled by thousands and
tens Of thousands. There is nothing
bitter or antagonistic about this cry,
but there is certain amount of deter
mination. The sting and the rebuke
to Tammany hall will be the vote that
will be rolled up on November 6 for
Herbert Hoover, the humanitarian,
the lover of peace, the engineer, the
statesman, the diplomat, the friend of
the starving and war-weary people Of
Europe.

The peril of the level way is great

is nothing more exhausting than q

meath its changes. There is scarcely
a greater achievement than the VIC
tory of the man who keeps fresh and
vigorous on the level road.

ROBINSON OFFERS
PROSPERITY TO ALL
Senator, Stumping Nevada,
Makes Wide Promises Un-
der Democratic Rule.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
EN- ROUTE WITH SENATOR ROB-
INSON TO RENO, New, october IL
Promised prosperity for everybody under
a Democratic administration was the
message brought by Senator Joseph t.
Robinson as he came into Nevada today
on his Western campaign tour
It was the same thought he had en-
phaSized in San Francisco last night,
where he included mining-a leading
industry in NeVada-among the indus
trial divisions he contended are suffer-
ing under Republican policies.
The trip of the Democratic vice pres
idential nominee into Nevada was a
brief DEPRESSION from the West Coast,
all of whose three States are to hear
the Senator before he heads back East
through Utah. Wyoming, Nebraska, the
Dakotas. Iowa, Minnesota ana Illinois.
After his Speech at Reno tonight he
will go to Seattle and Portland.
In coming into this mining State
Senator Robinson was in political ter
ritory listed as doubtful. 1t is the
home of Senator Oddie, a Republican,
and Senator Pittman, a Democrat, who
served as a member of the platform
committee at Houston. The State has
three electoral votes.
A third of the, present swing into
practically all Of, the Western States
behind him, the nominee declared him
self in fine trim for the 90 days still
ahead before the months campaign
Journey is over Tie told a crowd at
his hotel in San Francisco that he re-
CARDS this trip as THE longest and most
embracing ever attempted by a presi-
dental or vice presidential nominee,
and he plans to conserve himself as
much as possible SO as to be in first
class shape for thet final Six-day drive
in November.
Attacking what lae termed "the Re
publican pretense" that business al
ways prospers under Republican rule,
Senator Robinson declared in the San
Francisco address that under President
Coolidge 95 per cent. of the countrys
wealth is held by S per cent of the
population.
'The Democratic party" he said,
recognizes the right of every individ-
ual to enjoy prosperity, but it must be
distributed among an who contribute
to our national wealth. The Demo-
cratic party condemns the system es-
tablished by. the Republican party
whereby only few enjoy real pros
perity and the remainder are required,
like Lazarus, to accept the crumbs
which fall from the overladen table of
Dives"
Evening star., 1928-10-11

There are several parallels between
the history of the Democratic party In
1914 and 1848 and its career of the
present day, although in results the
likeness does not exist. Its 1914 con-
vention was deadlocked by the two
thirds rule, as happened in 1912 and
more or less in 1920 and 1924. In 1848
the party was split by a dissenting ele-
ment, as it is to some extent at present
by the dryS who oppose Gov. Smith.
The Wings were discouraged over
Tyler's administration, which had
spoiled their victory of 1840. In 1874
they turned again to Henry Clay, with
Theodore Frelinghuysen for Vice Presi-
dent. The Democrats looked forward to
victory and Van Buren, again sought
the nomination, feeling that he was en-
titled to another term. He faced some
opposition even in New York, his home
State, where the party was split between
the HunkerS and the Barn Burners, fac
tional nicknames based on disagree
ments over State issues. Lewis Cass of
Michigan was his strongest rival for the
nomination, with Henry M Johnson of
Kentucky and James Buchanan of
Pennsylvania strongly supported.
The first ballot in the convention
gave Van Buren, 143 votes, Johnson "a,
CaSs 83 and Buchanan 4. ConcentrAt-
ing on defeating Van Buren,, his rivals
saw him gain majority but never
tWo-thirds vote. For the first time the
tWo-thirds rule had decided the out
come of Democratic convention CaSS
went into the lead on the seventh ballot
with 1913 votes, Van Buren, SO, Buchanan
% and johnson 81. Then the dark
horse was brought forward-James K.
Polk of Tennessee, Speaker of the House
and Silver-tongued orator. On the
eighth ballot he got the Buchanan and
Johnson votes. On the ninth a stam-
pede started and he was nominated.
To placate New York, the first ballot
named Silas Wright for Vice President
He Immediately refused the nomination,
an incident not repeated in our political
history until 1924, when Frank 0, Low
den of Illinois declined the vice presi-
dental nomination after it had been
voted him by the Republican conven-
ton. George M Dallas of Pennsylvania
took the place, as Charles G. Dawes
did on the later occasion.
The campaign was largely fought over
the policy of annexing Texas and claim
ing a northern boundary of Oregon
Territory which the British disputed.
The Democrats we're for expansion, the
Wings more cautious. Polk won Is
States, getting ITO electoral votes to los
for Clay, who thus was the only man
before Bryan to lose the presidency
in three elections.
Neither victory at the polls nor the
subsequent victory at war with Mexico
over the Texas annexation won great
popularity for Polk The territory gain
ed by the war raised the issue of per-
mitting slavery in the new areas, and
the Northern Democrats disagreed with
their Southern bretheren. Polk'S ef-
forts at COMPROMISE nlacated neither.

Southern men, while the Democracy
had become Southern party captained
by Northern leaders.
For the first time in the history Of
the country the popular elections were
all held on the same day, in accord
ance with the law passed three years
before. In Massachusetts, the vote was
so badly split that no electors were
chosen and the Legislature at a later
date had to appoint its electoral college.
The lines of North and South were
not closely drawn in the election be-
cause of the trimming of both parties

to keep that State out Of the Demo-
cratic column. The election marked a
beginning of the belief that it was
necessary to win New York to win a
presidential election. AS rule this
has proved true, although 1916 was a
recent exception.
The issue of the campaign was the
Wilmot proviso, and it brought slavery
to the front as a party issue more Wig
orously than ever. When the bill ap-
propriating money for the closing OF
negotiations with Mexico for the acqui-
sition of territory, following the war,
was before the House a half dozen anti
slavery Democrats had copies of an
amendment which had been drawn by
Representative Brinkerhof of Ohio and
which provided that slavery should not
be permitted in any of the States or
Territories to be erected out of the

more carried New England Except
Maine and New Hampshire), New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware,
North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida. Cass
won most of the West and the rest of
the South. The electoral votes were
163 to 127. making New York's SO votes
decisive. The detection of Van Buren,
and the Barn Burners had lost control
of the country to the Democrats, and
the disappointed former President had
thoroughly punished the party which
had used the two-thirds rule to defeat
him.

He was in poor health and made no
fight for denomination. A few months
after his term ended he died.
Slavery Question Looms.
Lewis Cass was the Democratic NOM
inee of 1848, while the Wings took a
leaf from the lesson book of 1910,
and named war hero, Gen. Zach
ary Taylor. The figure of Martin Van
Buren, and his disaffected New York
group remained ominously on the hori-
zon. With the split over permitting
slavery in new territories, the Abolition
Party had taken heart and reorganized
as the Free Soil Party. Seeking sup
port from all Sides it offered a presi-
Dental nomination to Van Buren,, with
second place to a Massachusetts, Whig,
Charles Francis Adams, the son and
grandson of Presidents.
Van Buren's acceptance of a nomi-
nation by a third party after his career
as a Democrat was interpreted by many
to indicate his purpose of taking ven-
geance on the party for its refusal to
nominate him in 1874 If that be true,
he may be said to have had his re-
venge, for while he did not carry a
single State as the Free Soil candidate
he did divert enough votes in New York

Congress remained Democratic. and
after Taylors' death the majority in
both houses embarrassed Fillmore. With
the abolitionist element out of the party
in the train of Van Buren,, the North
ern and Southern Democrats got along
better for a time.

lot of David Wilmot of Pennsylvania

All Elections on Same Day.
Gen. Cass at first was favorable to
the proviso, but, seeing that it was an
issue that had dynamite in it, after
ward decided to trim a little. II the
Northern Wings had had the courage
of their convictions that year, they
would have taken the northern view
of the slavery question and could
have elected an anti-slavery Presi-
dent. This would probably have
prevented the formation of the Repub-
iican party and have perpetuated the
Wing party. But in those days the
Wings we're a Northern party led by
