MERIT PLANK
ADOPTED BY
COP.
BY J. EARLE MOSER

Requests for a plank advocat-
ing a complete merit system in
the Government service, with
every Federal position with the
exception of policy making
Jobs placed outside Of the scope
of Spoils tactics, have been success
fully presented to the resolutions
committee of the Republican Ma
tional Convention by Luther c.
Steward, president of the National
Federation Of Federal Employees
Mr.. Steward, who will also
appear with the same plea be,
fore the Democratic Convention
in Philadelphia, made the follow
ing statement:
81 represent the N. F. F. E.,
. nOn-partiSan organization Of
more than $1,000 Federal en-
ployes. The membership of
this group is in q peculiarly
advantageous position to OBJ
serve the effects Of the use Of
political patronage on the pub
lie service. It is the unani-
NOUS expression of the mem
bership of the N. F. F. E. that
the Republican Party platform
should contain q strong and
specific endorsement Of legiSla-
tion which will place within
the merit systematic cOmpeti-
tive syStem-eVery civilian Fed
eral position save those which
are actually and definitely Of .
pOlicy-making nature.
"It is our opinion, based
upon long and indiSputable
experience, that in no other
way can the Federal activities
which are so vital to the well
fare Of the whole people be
conducted honestly and eff
ciently. In no other way can
the taxpayer receive a fair re-
turn for the necessarily great
sums expended for Federal per-
sonnet"
And last night the plank waS
adopted in full force by the con
vention, which pledged itself te
restore, improve and extend the
merit system and make the Gov
eminent service attractive tc
young men and women Of ability
And Governor Landon went ever
further, saying:
"In carrying out this pledge
/ believe there should be in
cluded within the merit system
every position in the admins
frative service below the rank
Of assistant secretaries Of major
departments and agencies, and
that this inclusion should cover
the entire Post Office Depart

ROOSTER CROW


THE Gooding tavern in Green
L field, Ind, has long since dis
appeared but it deserves to be re-
membered as the birthplace of a
familiar emblem of one of the ma
jor political parties, a symbol that
is still in use after nearly cen
fury.
Back in the thirties it was owned
by Joseph Chapman, an ardent
Democrat, who had the habit
of initiating a rooster when exult-
ing over victories by his party. So
when his political enemies won, they
tainted him by shouting: "Now
crow, Chapman, crow!"
In 1910 Chapman was a candidate
for the state legislature from Han
cock county. In that year Demo-
cratic prospects were far from
bright. The country still remem-
bered the panic of 1887 and blamed
President Van Buren, for it. More
over, the "singing Wings" were
making powerful appeal to the
voters with their shouts of "Tippe-
canoe and Tyler, Tool" and their
log cabin and hard cider symbols.
In the midst of the campaign
George Pattison, editor of the In
dianapolis Constitution, wrote let
ter to William Sebastian of Green
field in which he said: tI have
been informed by Democrat that
in one part of your county 80 Van
Buren, men have turned for Har-
rison. Please let me know if such
be the fact. I think such a de-
plorable state of facts can not ex-
list. If so I will visit Hancock and
address the people relative to the
policy of the Democratic party. I
have not time to spare, but I will
refuse to eat or sleep or rest so
long as anything can be done. Do,
for heavens sake, stir up the De-
mocracy. See Chapman, tell him
not to do as he did heretofore. He
used to create unnecessary alarms;
he must crow; we have much to
crow over. I will insure this coun-
ty to give a Democratic majority
of 200 votes. Spare no pains"
This letter accidentally fell into
the hands of the Wings and was
published in an indianapolis paper
with view to ridiculing the Dem
ocrats. But it proved to be a
boomerang for the Wings. "Crow,
Chapman, crow!" became the slo-
gan of the Indiana Democrats and
spread all over the country.
When the Indiana Sentinel was
launched in 1841 it carried at the
top of it's front page the picture
of proud rooster and under it
was the slogan "Crow, Chapman,
crow!" Other Democratic newspa-
pers began carrying the same pic
ture and slogan and soon the
rooster, Growing proudly whether
in victory or defeat, became the ac-
cepted symbol of the Democratic
party. Despite the later popularity
of the donkey, it is still a favorite
symbol-thanks to John Chapman
of Greenfield, Ind, who taught his
fellow-Democrats how to crow.

WINNING WITH BUCKEYES

wv HEN Martin Van Buren,,
w bosom friend and successor to
fiery Andrew Jackson, undertook
to succeed himself in the White
House in the race of 1910 some
thing new in political history was
the result.
Van Buren, not only was defeat
ed. He insured the election of
Gen. William Henry Harrison
of Ohio and he endowed Ohio with
the name of the Buckeye state,
which fourishes today.
1t all came about when the cry
was taken up by Van Buren's cam
paigners that Harrison was more
perfectly fitted to live in log
cabin and drink hard cider than to
60 to Washington as the nations
head.
What boomerang that proved
to be!
The only background for the at
tack was that when the hero of
Tippecanoe retired from battle he
selected a site overlooking the
Ohio river in the southwestern part
of the state, built a double log
house and finished it with shining
white clapboards.
Ohioans naturally resented the
slur on their habits of living, in
Guiding the charge of tipping. Min
iature log cabins, symbolic of pio-
neer life and the vigor which
pushed civilization westward from
the more effete east, made their
appearance throughout the state.
These cabins were reproduced
from buckeye logs. So, were the
canes carried by thousands of
marchers who participated in pa
rades to advance the candidacy of
Harrison. The cabins were mount
ed on wagons and within each was
a horny handed frontiersman,
quaffing hard cider.
Van Buren, was not neglected
while this was going on. He was
attacked by the Ohioans as a snob
with a penchant for Europea Gus
toms.
By thu time the "Buckeye" pa
rades popularized and spread east
of the Alleghenies, Van Buren's
managers realized their mistake
and tried in vain to stem the tide.
It was too late. Gen. Harrison
won the election, hands down, and
Ohio has been known ever since
as the Buckeye State.
