THAT TWO-THIRDS RULE

IN 1882 Democratic President
decided to have his party's con-
vention (the first it had ever held)
renominate him and along with
that decision he directed that the
nomination of his running mate
should be made by vote Of two
thirds of the convention delegates.
One hundred and four years lat
er Democratic President decid-
ed to have his party's convention
renominate him and along with
that action he brought about the
abolition of the century-old two
thirds rule"
The man who originated that dis
tinctively Democratic institution
was Andrew Jackson. The man
who ended it's existence was Frank
lin D. Roosevelt.
jackson had selected his secre-
tary of state, Martin Van Buren,,
for the position of vice-president.
The senate had only recently re-
jected Van Buren's appointment
as minister to Great Britain and
"Old Hickory" thought it would
square accounts with that body to
have the "Red Fox" preside over
it. Also vice-presidents in those
days usually succeeded to the
Presidency through regular cleo
ton and jackson wanted Van Buren,
to be his successor.
So when his party prepared to
hold it's first convention in Baltl-
more in 1882, jackson wrote out
this resolution which he gave to
one of his lieutenantS to present to
the delegates:
Resolved, That each State shall
be entitled, in the nomination OF a
candidate for the Vice-Presidency,
to a number of votes equal to the
number to which they will be en-
titled in the Electoral College I'M
der the new apportionment in vot-
ing for President and Vice-Presi-
dent; and that two-thirds of the
whole number of the votes in the
convention shall be necessary to
constitute a choice"
The Baltimore convention was
as completely dominated by Jack
son as the recent Philadelphia
meeting was controlled by Roose-
welt so the delegates obediently
adopted the resolution. During
Jackson's lifetime several efforts
were made to abolish the rule but
all of them failed. After his death
it became all but sacred and for
the next hundred years the shadow
of Andrew Jackson, in the form of
this rule, hung over every Demo
cratic convention.

Intricate Invention Used
in Harvesting Wild Rice

Poplar, Wis. - Increased demand
for wild rice as food for wild fowl
led Emmett Curtis to invent a har-
vesting machine that looks like a
cross between an Egyptian water
wheel and Venetian gondola.
The machine works on the prin-
ciple of a grain binder. A motor
driven paddle at the stern provides
locomotion. A large rotating reel
on the prov catches the rice stocks
protruding above the water d
bends them against a smaller reel
rotating in the opposite direction.
Between these two wheels the grain
is beaten gently from the stalk.
Curtis claims the machine will
pick about 1000 pounds of ripe rice
in a day.

ASTRONOMICAL

ONE of the best ways to win a
~ Presidential campaign is to
get a good slogan and din it in the
voters ears. A good slogan APP
peals to the instincts or to the emo
lions rather than to the intellect.
Combine that fact with the old say
ing about "the best way to mans
heart is through his stomach" and
it's easy to understand certain in
cidents in political history.
Back in 1910 when the Wings were
trying to elect Gen. William Hen
nv Harrison over Martin Van Buren,,
the Democratic candidate, they
raised the cry of vans Policy,
Fifty Cents Day and French
Soup; Our Policy, Two Dollars a
Day and Roast Beef" Would a
hungry voter hesitate long between
the two? Of course not!
But there was another CASTRO
nomical angle to this campaign.
The singing Wings" set to the tune
of "Auld Lang Syne" such words
as these:
Should good old cider be despised
And ne'er regarded more?
Should plain log cabins be despised
Our fathers built of yore?
For the true old style, my boysi
For the true ole style,
let's take q mug of cider now
For the true old style.
So the thirsty voters who wanted
"good old cider" joined with the
hungry voters who wanted "roast
beef and together they elected
Harrison.
Although the Wings slogan in
1910 was the ancestor of the Full
Dinner Pail'' of a later era, that
expression didn't actually come in
to use until 1896. In that year the
opponents were Democratic Bryan
and Republican Mckinley. The tar
Tiff was the principal issue and the
Republicans had various prosperity
slogans. But wise old Mark Hanna
boiled them all down into the vote
getting slogan of the Full Dinner
Paip' and the American laborer
who wanted one voted for McKin-
ley and elected him.
Thirty-two years later the Re
publicans used a variation on the
prosperity theme and their prom
Use to the voters of "a car in every
garage and a chicken in every
pot" helped Herbert Hoover defeat
Al Smith in the election of 1928.
