Thomas Nast. long credited with establishing the donkey as the popular symbol of the Democratic party, may have to surrender or share his honors. An old coin or token unearthed here indicates that an animal strongly resembling the Nast donkey apparently was in use as a party symbol before the cartoonist was born. v Nast came to America as a boy, rose to become one of the great cartoonists of the Civil war period and the years following. He was said to have evolved not only the Democratic donkey, but the Tammany Tiger and the Republican elephant, as well The year of the creation of the Demo cratic donkey by Nast was 1870. . After all these years John Branth, private citizen of Waltham. enters the scene with a discovery that appears to point to an earlier origin of the Democratic donkey.

Why, then, reasons woman's subconscious mind, shouldn't she receive the same privileges, figuratively speaking, when she la driving an automobile.
