But American political history Is full of cases In which the "outs" raise that cry against the "Ins" to unseat them. That was the case In 1884 and the Republicans were turned out after haring been In power continuously for 24 years. Again In 1028 the Democratic "outs," recalling the scandals of the Ilurdlng administration, raised that cry against the Republican "ins" but this time It didnt work and Hoover was elected over Smith. Now we are approuching another campulgn and, Ironically enough, the Democrats who are now the "Ins" are heuring the familiar old cry raised against them by some of the leading newspapers representing the Republican outs."

Among the alogaua of that campaign .were "Billllons for Freedom, Not One Cent for Slavery," "Intervention la Disunion, "Iopnlar Sovereignty and National Union," "Free Homes for Free Blen," "The Constitution and the Union, Now and Forever," Liberty Re National and Slavery Sectional," and scores of others, on both sides of the slavery controversy. Grant's famous Iet Us Have Pence" was used to good advantage as a slognn In electing the Man from Apioniattox hut the corruption which marked his two administrations provided Democratic opponents of his successor, Hayes, with the best possible type of slogan. So "Til-de- n and Reform" echoed throughout the campaign In 1S7C as a powerful rallying cry for the Iieinocrata. Ry all the rules of slogan logic, the brevity and the force of that slognn should have won for Tilden but election boards and an electoral commission decided otherwise. In the campaign of 1881 the Democrats had a winning slogan handed to them on a silver platter by their opponents. The Republican candidate wns Janies G. Blaine and It looked as though his followers with their rallying cries of "Rlnlne, Iilulne, Blulne of Blaine" and "Aa Blaine Goes. So Goes the Nation! would elect him. Rut his cause received a fatal blow when a group of ministers called upon him and their leuder. Rev. IL R. Rurchard, declared In speech that all conscientious Americans should vote the Republican ticket because the Democrats stood for "Itum, Romanism and Rebellion." Blaine did not hear him distinctly enough to realize the gross error and to repudiate this alar upon the religions belief of millions of Americana. So the slogan which the Republicans had attempted to tack on the Democrats proved to be a boomerang and aided In defeating their candidate. The tariff campaigns were prolific with slogans.

In 1928 the Democrats, wearing a brown derby and singing "The Sidewalks of New Turk" asked America to remember Its "Right Years of Wall Street" and to "Give Main Street a Chance." But Instead of heeding this advice America voted for "Hoover and Prosperity" and for "Safety, Solvency and Sobriety."

With such a good start. Is it especially remarkable that our political history should be filled with slanders and that in the heat of a Presidential campaign common sense and common decency seems sunk to unbelievably low depths! "Bargain and Corruption !" was the cry of the Jacksonian Democrats against John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay In 1S24 for, as a popular song of that period declared: Henry Clay was a cunning chap Ilia debta had thrown him all aback.

So writes Meade 'Minnlgerode in his book "Presidential Years." Considering the veneration in which the name of Abraham Lincoln is held throughout the United States today. It seems strange to look through the newspapers of 18C0 and find in them a reference to him In such words as these: "A horrid looking wretch he is, sooty and scoundrelly in aspect, a cross between the nutmeg dealer, the hone swapper and the night man . . . lie la a lanksided Yankee of the nncomellest visage and of the dirtiest complexion.
