THE DEMOCRATIC DONKEY

"A THOUGH Thomas Mast is usu-
"A ally credited with being the
man who made the donkey one of
the emblems of the Democratic
party, the fact is that some other
cartoonist, whose name is unknown,
used the same symbol fully three
decades before the famous Har-
per's Weekly artist did.
When Andrew jackson retired
from the presidency in 1887 he
dumped in the lap of his successor,
Martin Van Buren,, flood of wild
cat currency" and wild speculation
caused by his destruction of the
United States bank and the distri-
button of the treasury surplus in
private banks. So cartoonist OF
that period drew a picture entitled
1.-THE Modern Balaam and His ASS"
which showed jackson mounted on
q donkey, across whose withers
hung a bag labeled "Specie Cur
rency-Circulating Medium" A
ghost, labeled "Bankrupts of 1885,"
was causing the donkey to balk
and its rider was belaboring it
with a cane labeled veto. Be-
hind the rider and his mount
walked Van Buren, saying II shall
tread in the footsteps of my illustri-
Gus predecessor.
From that time on, during the
disputes over the money question,
the donkey frequently appeared in
the cartoons and became the ac-
cepted symbol of the Democratic
party. But it was the genius of
Thomas Mast which made this
symbol familiar to millions Of
Americans.
During the feud between Presi-
dent Andrew johnson and Edwin M.
Stanton, secretary of war, Mast
was a strong ally of the latter.
When Stanton died soon after Presi-
dent Grant had made him a justice
of the Supreme Court, the southern
Democratic papers, continuing the
feud, attacked Stanton even in their
obituary notices of him.
On January Is, 1870 Mast drew
his first donkey cartoon. It pic
tured Stanton as dead lion being
kicked by a donkey labeled "Cop-
perhead press" Underneath it were
the lines: "a Live Jackass kicking
a dead Lion and such a Lionl and
such a Jackass." In later cartoons
he also depicted the Democratic
papers, especially James Gordon
Benefits New York Herald, as a
donkey and after while began
applying the symbol to the Demo-
cratic party as wei, as it's press.

HEADGEAR

"TF YOU lose your standards,
Il rally to my white plume!"
cried Henry of Navarro before the
Battle of Ivry and so the helmet of
Navarro with it's snowy decora-
ton became the sign and symbol of
a cause which won and made him
king of France.
In American politics, too, voters
have rallied behind candidates
whose headgear or some other bit
of apparel have been characteristic
of the man. In the days of Andrew
jackson, loyal Democrats BRAN
dished hickory canes in imitation
of the one which "Old Hickory"
carried. In 1910 the Wings clapped
coonskin caps on their heads and
went out to sing and cheer "Old
Tippecanoe," the Indiana frontiers
man, into the White House.
On the streets of New York the
white beaver hat worn by Horace
Greeley, editor of the Tribune, was
familiar sight. But perhaps even
in those days the "peepul" were
suspicious of "high hat" candi-
date, so Greeley's supporters,
wearing "white plugs" failed to
elect him. Ulysses S. Grant once
worked in tannery, therefore pa
rades in his honor were marked by
men wearing shaggy and obvious
ly untanned fur coats and bearing
signs which declared Bring on the
enemy and we'll tan his hide"
In the Cleveland campaign of
1888 his running mate was Senator
Thurman, the last member of the
upper house to use snuff. After do
ing so he would sweep a red ban
danna handkerchief out of his pock-
ct with grand gesture. So Demo-
Gratis that year had whole suits
made of bandannas and women
wore bandanna dresses.
Another vice-presidential candi-
date who furnished striking head
gear symbol for his party was The
odore Roosevelt. Thousands wore
Rough Rider hats in the campaign
of 1900 and it was still a potent
emblem in 1904 when T. r. was
candidate for President.
But another quarter of a century
was to elapse before a bit of head
gear would be a feature of the
campaign. In 1928 Alfred E. Smith
made the brown derby famous
from one end of the land to the 9TH
er but it became a symbol of de-
feat instead of victory.

Sea Horse Is a Fish
G-wNU Service.

The sea horse is fish, but very
strange kind of fish. It spends al
most all the time in an upright posi-
ton, with its head up and its tail
down. With the tail it can do some
thing which the common fish can't
do. It can cling to a weed. A sea
horse swims while in upright posi-
ton. A fin on the back is moved
to give forward motion, and this I'm
has been compared to propeller.
It does not look or turn just like
propeller, but it gives about the
same result. An air sac, or swim
bladder" helps the sea horse keep
in balance. Most of the time, how
ever, the fish holds tightly to a sea-
weed, wrapping its tail around in
spiral fashion.

Hector Cowan, is the one to watch
IN the line. Although there is no
fullback quite as good as the de-

team which should be one of the
best but which probably will en-
counter the customary Penn politi-
cal reverses. Gisburne is the key
tackle.
COLUMBIA-Far better than last
fall. Sid Luckman, triple-threat
back. and Art Radvilas, fine end,
are the best of some unusually
strong sophs, while Tackle Bate
man is the ace of the line.
DARTMOUTH-Weak at guards
and none too IRE Mutt Ray will
recover sufficiently to resume star
ring at center. Hollingsworth, late
1885 discovery, may star as triple
threat along with several other feet
backs.
CORNELL-Several teams will
find the Big Red tough to take but
Cornell is at least a year away
from what old grads hoped for when
they hired Coach Snavely. Very
good sophOmores and Captain Jack
Batten, already celebrated as a de-
fensive star, may be the seasons
best kicker.
FORDHAM-Spies insist Jimmy
Crowley is working with numerous
rugged and powerful candidates, but
that the Rams are by no means as
strong as touted. There may be
some trouble filling the tackle gaps
left by Sarno and Sabo.
MANHATTAN-Line is certainly

Tuckey could be the best fullback
I'm the East. Chick Meehan is OPP
timistic as usual and he may be
right about several Of those sur
priseS he promises to spring.
N. Y. U.-Not as strong as last

ing and passing of Big Ed Smith.
PITT-A fine big bunch of boys
with just one weakness, the lack of
a Nick Klisky at center. Jock Suth-
erland, ordinarily very good at de-
veloping pivots, now is working on
that problem.
ARMY-Gar Davidson says the
Cadets are big and strong with more
reserves than last year but that
they lack speed. Monk Meyer, of
course, is the pigskin toting star
and Bob Kasper seems to be doing
all right, so far, at the difficult job
