From that time on during the disputes over the money question the donkey apieared frequently In the cartoons of the day and apparently became recognized as a symbol of the Democrats. cartoonist But it remained for a foreign-borto make the Democratic donkey so widely known that It has been accepted as the principal Democratic symbol ever since. He also gave us the Republican elephant and the Tammany tiger. That man was Thomas Nust, perhaps the great est cartoonist this country has ever known. Drawing for Harpers Weekly during the Civil war his pictures, which stirred the patriotic blood of the North and sent hundreds of young men to join the colors, had made him known throughout the country and President Lincoln was said to have declared once that Nast's cartoons were "the best recruiting sergeants on the side of the By ELMO SCOTT WATSON or 1837 Is causing Is belaboring It DIES and gentlemen of America The greatest show on earth Is about to begin! 1 No, this announcement hasnt anything to do with P.

The great contest at that time was between President Johnson and Edwin M. Stanton, the secretary of war, whom Johnson was trying to remove from office. Nast was strongly anti Johnson and When Stanton died, just after his elevation to the Supreme court bench by President Grant, the feud had bitter feelings of the Johnson-Stantoby no means died down and southern Democratic papers attacked Stanton even In their obituary On January 15, 1870, Nast drew his notices. first donkey cartoon. It pictured Stanton as a dead lion kicked by a donkey labeled "Copperhead papers. Underneath were the lines: A live. Jackass kicking a dead Lion and such a Lion! and such a Jackass! Nast did not Immediately repeat the donkey symboL He had others for the Democratic party, the serpent in some cases and the fox In others. Nasts Invention of the elephant as a symbol of the Republican party came about In a Jab at his own political party. In 1874 the Republicans faced their first defeat since coming Into power in 1SG0. It was not a Presidential year but In New York Samuel J, rilden, fighting against the Republican governor, John A. Dlx, was making a double-edgefight for that office. Tilden appealed to all classes of voters, for he had been a prosecutor of Tweed and he was also a' member of the reformed Tammany Hall. The strength of the Democrats lay not in any local issue or In the power of their candidate. There was a national issue at stake, whether or not a President of the United States should hae a third term. President Grant was believed to be determined to run for 'President again In 1876. The principal opponent to the Idea was James Gordon Bennett's New York Herald, which shrieked Incessantly Caesarism! At this crucial moment Nast drew his cartoon showing the first Republican elephant. It was The New York called The Third Term Panic. Herald, an as3 dressed In a lions skin labeled Caesarism, is braying loudly and all of the anl mals in the forest are fleeing in alarm. The Tribune is shown as a giraffe, the World as an owl dropping an arithmetic book, the Times as a At the edge of an unicorn with a monocle. abyss, barely hidden by broken planks marked Inflation, Repudiation," "Reform (Tammany) and Reconstruction, is a huge elephant marked Nearby Is a Republican Vote. fox with features suggesting Tildens and labeled Democratic Party. Two weeks afterwards Nast drew a sequel to that cartoon. It showed the elephant tumbling The Democratic Donkey, as Depicted by Thomas Nast in 1870. of the earliest was the "black cockades which the Federalists wore in their hats In 1798 to distinguish them from, and as a rebuke to, the Republicans (the forerunners of the modern of Democrats) who were wearing the France as evidence of their sympathy for the new republic across the Atlantic, When Andrew Jackson was the Democratic candidate for President, his partisans revived his popular nickname, Old Hickory, gained during the Indian wars and the War of 1812, and made the hickory their symbol. They carried hickory canes In Imitation of the one which Jackson always carried. They held tumultuous rallies around hickory poles set up on the village green, town common or public square or set one up on a wagon which headed their campaign processions. In these processions marched Dcm ocrats carrying hickory boughs and companies of "Hickory Buds," little boys in jumpers, white underclothes and broad white collars and little girls In white dresses with blue and red sashes. Perhaps the most famous campaign In which a symbol played an Important part was the Log Cabin and Hard Cider campaign of 1S40. A Democratic newspaper had repeated a sneering remark that had been made about the Whig candidate, Gen. William Henry Harrison, the Hero of Tippecanoe." It said: "Give him a barrel of hard cider and a pension of two thousand a year, and, our word for It, he will sit the remainder of his days In a log cabin by the side of a sea coal fire and study moral philosophy." The Whigs Joyously accepted the symbols thus suggested. Everywhere the voters turned, they saw a log cabin with a barrel of cider In front of the door and a coonskln tacked on its walls or a live coon perched on the, roof. There were log cabin badges, watch charms, earrings, medals, handkerchiefs, shaving soap, etc., and washwomen advertised that they wrould "do up gentlemen's shirts In log cabin style. Hie result of this, plus the songs and slogans In praise of Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too," was the overwhelming victory of Harrison, the Indian fighter and frontiersman, over Martin Van Buren, the aristocratic New Yorker, who was the Democratic candidate. In this campaign, too, appeared the predecessor of the full dinner pallH symbol of later campaigns. It appeared In the form of this slogan of the Whigs: Vans Policy, Fifty Cents a Day and French Soup; Our Policy, Two Do! lars a Day and Roast Beef. Closely akin to the appeal of the log cabin In 1810 was the symbolism of the I860 campaign when fence rails were the emblems of the Republicans who had nominated Abraham Lincoln, for the Presidency. Simthe Illinois ilarly, the fact that Ulysses S. Grunt had once engaged in the lowly occupation of a tanner, was used In his behalf when he was a candidate for President in 1868. Tanner clubs, bearing sjin bols emblematic of the trade, marched in his WILLCDERISH IN MANHOOD honor shouting, Bring on the enemy and well tan his bide!" In these parades also appeared men wearing shaggy and obviously untanned THE DEFENDER OF HER fur coats. In fact, one of the most remarkable thin about the symbolism of a Presidential campalj Is the number of times some form of wearing apparel has been an Important element In the appeal to the voters. The fringed hunting shirt and leggings of the frontiersman worn by men, signing The Hunters of Kentucky, were much In evidence during the campaign to elect Old m 'I.. Hickory Jackson. A coonskln cap, fashioned nat smt I 'v after the favorite headgear of Old Tippecanoe' Harrison, was worn by every lojal Whig In the campaign of 1810. When Horace Greeley was the candidate of the Democrats in 1872 his followers wore white i beaver hats In imitation of the favorite headgear of the famous New York editor. In the Cleveland campaign of 1SS8 his running mate. Senator Thurman, gave his supporters a colorful emblem the red bandanna handkerchief.

In this cartoon the elephant lay asleep before the White House while the donkey was jumping over a cliff Into financial chaos, despite the efforts of Senator Bayard to pull It back by the tall as he exclaims, Hold on, and you may walk over the sluggish animal up there yet. Other cartoonists were quick to adopt Nast's symbolism and for the last 50 years the Republican elephant, the Democratic donkey and the Tammany tiger have been commonly-acceptemembers of our national political zoo. But these animals have not been the only party symbols. The use of symbols as graphic portrayals of beliefs, political creeds, moral Issues and economic policies began early In our history.

True, congress has for another year the neutrality law that was put through under pressure a year ago but It did not have the necessary cour age to go Into that question and work out anything of a permanent character. The result, I am convinced, Is that as soon as there Is any excuse whatsoever, neutrality for the United States will he noth Ing hut a shell 1 do not know, nor do I believe anybody can tell at this Juncture whether the United States ought to embark on a rigid policy of isoln tion from affairs of the world but that Is a question that Is subordl nate at this moment.

One of the reasons why this neutrality question has become so Important Is the combination of clr eumstances that has developed In Europe. The maneuvers have put our congress on the spot and It, like so many previous times, again has wavred. It Is difficult to forecast what Is going to bappou In Europe but there are certain signs and por tents that may not he Ignored.

There has been nothing more tanglhle thus far than a baring of fangs. That Is, no overt acts have been committed but It always has been the case that the snarling and showing of teeth has provided the setting, the atmosphere, for more serious accusations.
