pro-slavery forces. The two men broke with
great bitterness and were personal and political
enemies ever after; and that break, says Mr..
Milton, was ''the Sarajevo Of the Civil War;"
It bore its fruit in the Democratic conven-
ton of 1860.
1T was the tragedy Of the epoch," says Mr..
Milton. that in North and South alike, ex-
tremist minorities manipulated the machinery
Of the two parties seized the tools of govern
ment and committed the two sections to q
brothers war. But often 1t seemed that the
moderates were about to quell the storm As
late as March Of 1860 there was a good chance
to avert secession"
nOUGLAS was the leading candidate for the
- Democratic nomination in 1860. Oppos-
ing him was q combination of extreme pro-
slavery men in the South q group prepared to
fight in the convention for q platform ex-
plicitly stating that slave property was entitled
to Federal protection anywhere in the terri
tories.
Buchanan co-operated with this group to
BACK Douglas. The strategy was for each of
the extremists to tie up the delegates Of South
ern States, where possible, to "favorite SON.
candidates. while Buchanan used the vast
power Of the Federal patronage machine to
keep Douglas from getting delegates in Northern
States.
The strategy worked. When the convention
opened at Charleston, S. c.. in the Spring of
1860 the cards were stacked against Douglas.
His foes had enough votes to keep him from

being nominated. He. on the other hand, had
enough votes to prevent the nomination Of
any extreme pro-slavery candidate.
As an inevitable result, the convention was
stormy-even stormier than the 1874 Madison
Square Garden convention Of recent memory.
The platform plank insisted on BY the ex-
tremsts was voted down-and the delegates
from Southern States withdrew from the con-
vention Eventually the convention adjourned
without making = nomination, agreeing to
reconvene in Baltimore In June.
Political excitement ran high during the As
days before this second convention was opened.
The old-line Whig party had convened in
Baltimore and decided to put up . ticket to
compete with the Douglas men for the Union
loving conservatives. They nominated John
Bell of Tennessee-thereby making 1t certain
that II Douglas should be nominated, his vote
in the Fall election would be split, since Bell
appealed to much the same group that sup
ported Douglas. The Republicans. meanwhile,
had nominated Lincoln.
At last the Democrats reassembled and once
more Buchanan threw the power Of the Fed
eral machine against Douglas. Efforts to COM
promise the Democrats division were useless
in the face of the Presidents enmity for
Douglas.
Again the extremist delegates from the South
withdrew. Douglas, at last, was nominated:
but he did not have . united party. which
would have won the election, back of him.
The bitterness engendered at the two conven-
tions and fostered by Buchanan's enmity was
Evening star., 1935-02-10

These questions which revove
about one of the most fascinating "ifs" in
American history are raised because of q re-
Gently printed biography of Stephen A. Douglas.
the famous little giant of Illinois, with whom
Lincoln carried on his history making debate
in 1883
The name of the biography is "The Eve Of
Conflict" (Houghton- -Miffin Coz and its author
is George Fort Milton, publisher of the Chatta-
nOoga, Tenn, News. Mr.. Milton emphasizes
his belief that the Civil War could have been
avoided by giving his book the subtitle,
"Stephen A. Douglas and the Needless War"
To put Mr. Milton's thesis in its simplest
form. 1t is necessary to remember that the
presidential election of 1860 was badly scram-
bled There were four major candidates in
the field-Lincoln, Douglas. John Bell of Ten
nessee and John c. Breckenridge of Kentucky.
There was total vote of 466216l, OF which
Lincoln received only 1857 6l0-a plurality, but
far from majority.
Mr.. Milton points out that Lincoln. choice
of the Republican party, was spokesman for
the more extreme group in the North. He
was looked upon in the South the leader Of
the men who favored abolition and opposed
compromise slavery issues
Douglas on the other hand. was Democrat.
and the Democratic party had adherents North
and South instead of being a sectional party,
as the Republican. Douglas was a mod
crate and had striven for years to reconcile
the differences between North and South.
If SAYS MI Milton the election had been
! a straight out contest between Lincoln and
Douglas, Douglas would have won. The South
would not have seen in his election q threat to
Southern institutions, the move for secession
would have been averted, some peaceful solu
tion of the slavery issue would have been
possible-and there would have been no war.
Furthermore, declares Mr.. Milton, even after
the election compromise was possible. Brave
efforts to reach such compromise were made;
Douglas did his best to heal the rapidly widen
ing breach between North and South.
Why was there no straight-out Lincoln versus
Douglas fight in 1860? Why were there four
candidates to split the vote and permit the
election of a minority choice? What, in short,
were the human currents which brought North
and South to war when only a small minority
wanted WARP
Mr. Milton traces the immediate causes back
to the year 1857. James Buchanan was Presi-
dent of the United States. The territory of
Kansas was being organized for admission to
the Union State, and the great question
of the hour was: Would it come in as a free
State or slave State?
Delegates we're elected to a convention at
Lecompton, Kans, to frame q constitution It
was everywhere admitted that Kansas sentiment
was overwhelmingly anti-slavery; but pro-
slavery men got control of the convention and
drew up constitution legalizing slavery Then
1t was learned that this slavery clause would
not be submitted to the voters of Kansas for
ratification, but would be 'railroaded" through.
Douglas called at the White House to pro-
sest. Buchanan was firm in his support of the
