There have been many short
lived parties and factions-the
Bull Moose for instance. Around
the 1865 besides the Know
Nothings there were "The Free
Sellers" and others. The Know
Nothings came into wide promi-
hence when they helped defeat
John C. Fremont for the presi-
dency when he ran against James
Buchanan. The popular novel,
Immortal Wife," based on the life
of Fremont and his Jessie, which
enjoyed wide popularity several
years ago, is an interesting study
of the politics of that period, when
the slavery question was causing
many to turn from one party to
another.
Fremont, who had always been
Democrat, could have been the
nominee of that party and probably
have been elected. Opposed to
slavery, he could not promise to
protect slave interests-so he be-
came the nominee of the Republi-
can party. The campaign was based
on Gree Speech, Free Press, Free
Soil, Free Men, Fremont and Vic
tory" Fremont as we have seen,
was defeated-the Democratic
Buchanan was elected, and after
him came Lincoln, elected by a
solicited Republican party.
Two weeks after the election a
bewildered nation is still not quite
sure how President Truman got
elected over all predictions and
polls to the contrary-but time will
tell.

Visits Gibbs School

Charles w. Ferguson, one OK
Senior Editors OF the Readers Iii
gest and an internationally known
figure OF the publishing world
paid a special visit to Gibbs
School Monday to see the Thrift
Clubs in action.
Mr.. Ferguson was accompanies
by Al Pollard Of the Benjamin
Franklin Thrift Club Foundation.
A demonstration directed by
Mrs. B. II. Lee and Mrs. r. II.
Settles, was presented by the 9Th
grade class. Mrs. Lee then di-
rected Mr.. Ferguson and Mr.. Pol
lard to a section OF the bsHhdfaE
where they could see the Thrift
Store operated by the pupils
At an assembly OF the faculty.
Mr.. Ferguson spoke on New
Trends in Social Attitudes" He
felt that the Thrift Clubs had
much to offer in building e,D-
s~tructive economic business atti-
tudes. He was much impressed
by the Thrift Diaries displayed
by the various groups. These in
dictated that desirable social att
titudes were slowly but surely
formed. He left the group with
a feeling that Arkansas has set
up a means for constructive nevs
trends in attitude building which
might well be copied by all ether
states.

WASHINGTON, d. D. -- Politi-
cal leaders are worried, especially
the professional politicians, be-
cause of the boom of Military men
for president. Their concern is
based upon facts-and not fancy.
They remember that after every
war, with a single exception Of
World War II, the American peo-
pie have elected a military hero
President of the Unitai States.
And of 80 U. S. President, al least
10 have had distinguished Army
records.
The current campaign for Gen.
Dwight d. Eisenhower, champion
of a segregated army, and former
Army Chief of Staff and Allied
Commander in Europe of World
War II, got under wa.l few
months ago. 1t was launched by
a group of Washington business
men, but republican leaders
promptly sat up and took notice
Eisenhower has never giver
notice or indication of his parry
~affiliation but it is conceded gen
orally that his presidential posi-
bilities are in the Republican fold
There is no doubt that the De
mocratic nomination vii go tc
President Harry Truman, If he
wants it, and there is not one
single thing to indicate that he
does not want it.
Eisenhower has maintained re-
