Commissioner
OF EDUCATION.
DUCKS BARRACE.

The recent proposal Of the. United
etates ONCE Of Education that the
white universities Of the South
"work out ways and means of max
ing their facilities available TO Ne
gro scholars" was SO roundly de-
nounced by some sections Of the
Southern press that John w. Stude-
baker. Commissioner Of the Office
Of Education. denied this week that
colleges open their doors TO Ne
sroes.
He explained that the white
colleges might loan some OF their
facilities to Negro students. Com
missioner Studebaker's retreat be-
fore the attack of the race baiters
OF Dixie disappointed the liberal
white and Negro Southern educa-
tors who are anxious TO lift the
educational level of the South.
Mississippi Leads
The most violent attack on the
original proposal OF the u. S. Office
OF Education came from the Jack
son tMlSSD Daily News. This pa
per carried front page editorial
on the subject from which the fol-
lowing has been widely quoted:
The Y. S. Office Of Education
today called on white educational
institutions OF the south TO open
their doors TO Negro scholars.

Vincent Story
Read 10 Jury

The alleged confession of Rich
ard Vincent 10 the murder of Ia
year-old Joyce Raulston was read
/ into the record in the murder
)trial today before Circuit Judge
Friedman.
Since repudiated, the purported
confession related how Vincent,
%, picked Joyce up in his car,
drove out Warren avenue and
argued with her over another girl.
Defense Atty. Hugh Davidson
attempted TO prohibit Introduction
OF the statement, charging that
the defendant had been eoeFced
through prolonged grilling by
county detectives.
The court upheld Assistant Pro-
secutor Gilmore's plea that County
Detective Chief Russell Gregory
be permitted TO relate the story
Vincent was alleged to have told.
Gregory said that Vincent dem
onstrated the manner in which he
had plunged the knife into the
school girls side, stabbed her
again as she fled, and struck her
on the head with a piece of con-
crete picked up at the Warren
avenue city dump, where she fell
bleeding.
The confession was read into the
record by Miss Ann RenkuS, ste
nographer who had taken the
alleged statement from Vincent.

vention in 1881, thus creating the
first third party.
IL won a few electoral votes,
then joined the great and ever
growing graveyard of little third
parties. But the two reigning
parties of the day. the national
Republicans and the Democrats,
took up the national convention
idea at once and have never
dropped il.
The first national convention OF
the Democrats in 1882 nominated
Andrew jackson for reelection
In May, 1882. a national con-
vention OF young Republicans had
met in Washington and nominated
Henry Clay. On June l. 1882, a
national convention OF Democrats
met at Baltimore and nominated
Jackson. He consented TO be
drafted.
No platform was written. but
the two-thirds rule was estab-
lished by which no candidate
could win the nomination without
a two-thirdS ma ority.
The rule was fiercely attacked
and broke the careers of many
lifelong aspirants, but the two
thirds rule lasted for 100 years.
Since il makes much easier the
perpetuation of the party in
power il was overthrow by the
+. ID. Roosevelt partisans.
RULED WITH HIGH HAND
jackson ruled The delegates
with a high hand and forced the
nomination of Van Buren, for vice
president. His nomination was
unpopular and opposed by three
ether figures. jackson was easily
reelected, but Van Buren's vote
was so close that IL had 10 be
thrown into the Senate.
Popular as he was, the panic of
1887 dragged his party into such
depths that Jackson did not win
even his own state.
The depression OF 1897 lasted
long enough TO crush the hopes
of Vice President Van Buren, at
the next convention. He had the

city element at a time when the
common man was in high favor.
When old Gen. Harrison. victor
al the Battle OF Tippecanoe. was
proposed. the opposition ridiculed
him as one who would be con-
tented with log cabin and a jug
of hard cider. Harrison's party
seized the sneer as a slogan. The

lard Fillmore. a man whose ideas
and ideals might have prevailed in
less critical times and prevented
the apparently inevitable war.
But all efforts at compromise
failed. dragging both Henry Clay
and Daniel Webster away from
their dreams OF a well-earned
presidency.
FORCES DIVIDED
Fillmore and Webster divided
the forces favorable TO them both,
and neither could win. so Gen.
Winfield Scott was selected on a
compromise platform. Thereupon.

nominated Daniel Webster. He

In the Democratic convention,
35 ballots were taken without any

Now the Abolitionists, or Liberty

two tickets.
The credentials committee had

From New York came two sets of
delegates for two factions calling
each other "HunkerS" and Barn
burners.
Lewis CasS won the nomination
of the HunkeTS. The Barnburners
bottled and nominated Van Buren,.
The Wings, as the Republicans
were now called, met and nomi-
mated on the fourth ballot Gen.

cabins.
Harrison was swept into the
White House by the people; but
in five weeks he was carried out
by the pallbearers.
HENRY CLAY WINS
When-Vice President Tyler be-
came president, he promptly fell
foul of his own party. which
didn't like him any more than he
liked IL. He had no chance for
the next nomination. Henry Clay
won that by unanimous vote on
the first ballot.
But Tyler had partisans if not
a party and they held a conven-
ton OF their own TO nominate
him. He read the barometer. how
ever, and withdrew from the race
two months before election.
Van Buren, tried comeback at
the Democratic convention in Bal
timore in 1874. He had most of
the votes but the two-thirds rule
stopped him. After nine ballots
the weary delegates hunted for a
new name and selected James X.
Polk.
Polk was the first dark horse"
and he was nominated by the first
stampede" at a convention. He
was elected, but by narrow ma
jority, over a new party of Abo-
litionists.

Dorothy Dix Says

There is no other question that

them when they swear that they

Naturally 1t Is q problem that
