THE DEMOCRATIC DONKEY


a THOUGH Thomas Mast is usu-
n 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, a 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 a cartoonlSt of
that period drew a picture entitled
The Modern Balaam and His Ass"
which showed jackson mounted on
a donkey, across whose withers
hung bag labeled Specie Cur
rency-Circulating Medium" A
ghost, labeled "Bankrupts Of 1887, "
was causing the donkey to balk
and it's rider was belaboring it
with a cane labeled Veto" Be
hind the rider and his mount
walked Van Buren saying Il 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 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. 1t pic
tured Stanton as a dead lion being
kicked by donkey labeled Cop
perhead press" Underneath it were
the lines "A live Jackass kicking
dead Lion and such a Lion! and
such a Jackass!" In later cartoons
he also depicted the Democratic
papers, especially James Gordon
Benefits New York Herald, ( a
donkey and after a while began
applying the symbol to the Demo-
cratic party as well as its 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 its snowy decora-
tion 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 l840 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
a familiar sight. But perhaps even
in those days the ''peepuP' were
suspicious of a high hat" candi-
date, so Greeley's supporters,
wearing white plugs" failed to
elect him. Ulysses S. Grant once
worked in a tannery, therefore pa
rades in his honor we're 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 red ban
danna handkerchief out of his pock-
ct with a grand gesture. SO Demo-
Gratis that year had whole suits
made of bandannas and women
wore bandanna dresses.
Another ice-presidentiaI candi-
date who furnished a 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. K. was
candidate for President
But another quarter of a century
was to elapse before 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.

car swung through and stopped, as
Gary shut the gates behind it and

 QUITS MET" TO
 INSTRUCT AGAIN

EVANSVILLE Mo, Sept. 26.- From a schoolteacher's desk to the Metropolitan opera and back to the school room, again, Phradie Wells has completed a cycle in her career and turned toward her new job filled with plans and enthusiasm for American music for Americans. This former Missouri fern girl, who spent 12 years with the Met, ! told of her ambitions before leaving i her home here for Waco, Texas, to te an instructor in voice at Baylor University
 Cial tc Teach Again
 She was pleased immensely at ! the prospect of teaching again. She is convinced hy her experience in opera, she said, that one of the greatest services to American music is open in the teaching field laying the foundation for great national tradition"
 Long an advocate of operas with native theme, Miss Wells de- clered that the American field of cperatic composition hardly has been scratched"
 The American cowboy long has anpealed to me as an excellent subject for opera" she said. So fascinating has this been to her she may try sometime to write a cowboy opera.
 Wants American Theme
 There are also those noted Am ericanS, Mark Twain and Will Rogers-held to be typical products of an original culture that fosters homely philosophy and disdain for top-hat snoobery," she pointed out. IT see no reason why they could not be utilized as opera types.
 Operas of such theme would be something the American public could understand without cram ming before a performance like students before a final examina- 1 tiOn.'
 Miss Wells plans to fill a concert program this year, continuing a singing career which began when she was a $40-a-month teacher in an Adair County country school.
