 Lincoln was far from being dark horse' in 1860. Four years earlier when the republican party nominated Fremont for president. Lincoln had received no votes for the nomination for vice-president. Tn the convention of 1880 there were three ballots and Lincoln was second in strength on the first two. polling 102 votes to 173 for Seward on the first and 181 to 1S4 for Sew arl on the second. A candidate who takes second position on the first ballot and wins on the third cannot be regarded as a dark horse" is the expression is used in American political terminology.
 Following Seward and Lincoln. six other candidates recorded votes in the convention of 1S60-simon Cameron, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, William l.. Dayton. John Mclean and Jacob Collamer. Mir ColIamer was the United States sen. ator from Vermont. On the first ballot MT Collamer received 10 votes. Had the convention. after working itself into deadlock, nom- mated the Vermonter for president. 1t would beyond question have pre- scented the country with dark hOrse."

INDUSTRIOUS BEES
lHartford courantl

(HdrtfOrd COurant)
 A Greenwich newspaper tells us that bee keeper reports that his bees are gathering yellow pollen, and he has asked q naturalist what flowers are in bloom now. The na- turalist registers interest but not knowledge. It is to be hoped that some expert will take the trouble to find out for himself in the event that clear and mild days follow for. if his sight is keen. he may trace the bees to their source Of supply.
 The item excites curiosity in those who know something of out door life in Connecticut. We know. even though in city pent, that win far, that the earth is hardly frozen and that where the ground is de- void of snow one may gather dan delion blossoms. Greenwich is not far from 90 miles to the south west of this city and the tempera- ture there Is somewhat higher than in Hartford.
 Are there enough dandelions in bloom somewhere in Greenwich so that bees are able to gather pollen? As we recall 1t, pollen from dande- lion blooms is of about the same shade as the flower from which is taken. We do not know whether bees visit the so-called pussy will low but we are of the impression that when their blooms appear. the anthers carry pollen of yell low color.
 We know persons whose interest in this matter of Greenwich bees excels in it's urge that which they register regarding the Sino-Japan- ese conflict. which may not be out of place in view of the fact that bees have worked at their oecupa- ton for long period than the Far East has been involved in war: and again. 1t Is far more difficult to get statement from the insects than from the powers at war. We trust that some Fairfield county natural fist will get at the bottom of this problem.

U. S. Troops fin Action.

On February 25. 1918, an Amer ican patrol in the Chemin Ges Danes sector of the western front penetrated the German lines for d considerable distance, attaining all it's objectives and inflicting heavy losses.
 German troops, still advancing in Russia, took Reval. They en- countered no resistance from the exhausted and mutinous Russian forces.
 In the Ukraine, however, in- tense fighting occurred between German and Ukrainian troops, with the Germans winning after suffering heavy losses.
 Chancellor von Hertling. in an address before the Reichstag, said that Germany was willing to end the war on the principal basis of President Wilson's 14 points. Certain exceptions were made, however. and Allied diplomats paid no attention to the move.
 A National Labor Conference Board was formed at Washington to lay down basis of relations with capital for the duration of the war

 The late Carl Sandburg, the poet, who wrote a very good book on Abraham Lincoln. left among his manuscripts biography of the president in miniature. According to our count, 1t has 243 words. No necessity originating in condensa- ton compelled MT Sandburg to describe him as a "dark horse nominee for the presidency; one must regard this characterization as a slip in a sketch of genuine merit, If judged according to the standard which the author had set up. It may be well to quote just what MT sandburg wrote:

its last long sleep when the Recon-
struction Finance Cooperation was

ment: and in that moment, all I'M
Willingly, the government took an
amazingly long step directly to-
ward state Socialism.
SO, at any rate, say the anony-
nous authors of High Low Wash
ington," an excellent, idonical new
book in the familiar roerry-go-round
vein.
This book looks on the depres-
sion as the end of an era-the era
of the 1920s. the era Of free COM
petition raised to its greatest pitch.
Things never are going to be the
same again, it warns us. Henceforth
we shall have more government in
business. not less. We shall do
things that would have shocked us
unutterably five years ago.
History is going to move fast in
the next few yearsAtoward dicta-
torship, perhaps. or toward Social
ism, or toward heaven only knows
what.
The authors remark, incidentally
that an anti-Hoover landslide in
the coming election really would
prove that Americans still are deep
ly conservative.
If the depression really had
created widespread radicalism, they
say, the people Would rise up against
the whole economic system; if they
simply rise up against the man and
the party that happened to be in
power, it will prove that they still
have faith in the old system itself.

IN the floor of the Albany conven-
ton is needed.
All day Monday the two New
York leaders fought for Lehman IN
conferences; Smith worked on Cur
nv. and Roosevelt talked to John H.
McCooey, Brooklyn boss, national
committeeman by the grace OF the
Roosevelt forces, and a, sometimes,
Tammany ally. McCooey's districts
contain many Jewish votes.
Fight Is Many Sided
This convention contest was only
one phase of a many SIDED defen-
sive fight waved by Curry ever since
Roosevelt removed Thomas Farley,
a Tammany sheriff, from office, and
appeared ready to remove James J.
Walker, Tammany mayor of New
York.
Curry owed his Leadership to po-
litical maneuver by Walker several
years ago.
Both Curry and Walker had been
opposed by Smith, but The two led
Tammany to Chicago to fight for
Smith because they liked Roosevelt
less.
Recently, convinced Roosevelt
would win the presidency, Curry an
nounced Tammany's support for the
ticket.
Harrassed by Shipping
Tammany began a series of COM
plicated political deals, harassing
as any political sniping could be to
a presidential candidate, in its eff
fort to hold control of New York
City.
1t resorted even to a bargain with
the Republican boss of Manhattan.

chairman of the very committee

Walker to resign, and threatened
to destroy Tammany.
