That Is to say, the nntlonul at convention which candidates for President and vice president of the United States are to be nominated will be held In Kansas City June 12 and two weeks later, June 20, the Democrats will meet In Houston to name their Stan-- , In the 1028 campaign.

Of course, the figure of a bull moose may he seen by some lurking In the shadows but It will he only a. ghostly animal, reminiscent of the days of 1012. zoo" is somewhat richer In The Democratic number and variety of Its "animals. First and foremost Is the donkey, which Is as universally the symbol of the Democratic party as the elephant Is of the Republican, hut many persons of the Jeffersonian and Jacksonian political persuasion will tell you that the rooster Is the true symbol of their party. The Tammany tiger will also be much In evidence at Houston, since one of the lending candidates learned how to crnck the ringmasters whip In Tammany hall. As for the camel, symbol of the drys, where will It he stabled In Kansas City or In Houston? It may be welcomed Into both. And then again. It may be cast out by both "Into the desert air" where It Is supposed to flourish. The use of these symbols for political parties or eertnln factions In them has become a recognized part of our political history and nenrly every one of them has an Interesting history. The rooster as an emblem of the Democrats was the first to appear on the scene and It came about It this way: In Joseph Chapman was a Democratic candidate for the Indiana legislature from Hancock county. Things were looking gloomy for the Democrats at that time for It was soon after the pnnic In Van Huron's administration and the Whigs under the leadership of Gen. Willlnm Henry the "Hero Harrison, of Tippecanoe," were developing great strength; About that time George Iattlson, editor of the wrote to a cerConstitution, Indianapolis tain Willlnm Sebastian of Greenfield as follows: I have been Informed by a Democrat that In one part of your county thirty Van Huron men have turned for Harrison. Please let me know If such be the fact. think, such a deplorable state of fact cannot exist. If so. 1 will visit Hancock and address the people relative to the policy of the Democratic party. 1 have no time to spare, but I will refuse to eat or sleep or rest, so long as anything can he done. Do, for heavens sake, stir up the Democracy. See Chnpmnn. tell him not to do ns he did hereHe used to create unnecessary alarm; tofore. he must crow ; we have much to crow over. 1 will insure this county to give a Democrat majority of 200 votes. Spare no ruins. This letter Happened to fall Into the hands of the Whigs, who promptly published It In nn Indianapolis paper as a means of ridiculing the Democrats. However, It had the opposite effect and Crow, Chapman, Crow. became the slogan of the Indiana Democrats. When the Indiana Sentinel was launched In 1841 It carried at the top of the front page the picture of a proud rooster and under It the slogan of "Crow, Chapman. Crow. In time this symbol spread all over the country nnd became the popular emblem of the iH'inocratlc party. It Is still much In use by the Democrats themselves, although the more widely used symbol by cartoonists Is the donkey. The dotikey, as well ns the Republican and the Tammany tiger, Is the product of the genius of one of the greatest cartoonists this country has ever known, Thomas NnsL Nnst. a Havarian by birth, came to this country as a boy. In school he was more Interested In drawing pictures than he was In his hooks and at the age of sixteen he took some of his drawings to the editor of Leslie's Weekly who hired him for the princely sum of four dollars a week, to draw Illustrations of news events. Nast left Leslie's In I SOD for a position on the New York Illustrated News hut It was not until he began drawing for Harper's Weekly that he attracted much notice. By the third year of the Civil war his war 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 By N ten-ye- zuCPimucAir cairFZjrFrazrjFiAzj,, dnrd-beare- ( 18-1- , 1 ele-phn- declared once that Nasts cartoons were the best recruiting sergeants on the side of the Union. After the Civil war Nitsf cartoons came Into even greater fame as he turned his attention to . the heated politics of the times. The great contest at thut time was between President Johnson and Edwin M. Stanton, the secretary of war, , whom Johnson was trying to remove from office. and Nast was strongly When Stanton died, just after his elevation to the Supreme court bench by president Grant, the bitter feelings of the Johnson-Stantofeud had by no means died down and southern Democratic papers attacked Stanton even in their obituary notices. On January 15, 1S70, Nast drew his first donkey cartoon. It pictured Stanton as a dead lion kicked-by- a donkey labeled "Copperhead pa- pers. Underneath were the lines: "A live Jackass kicking a dend Lion and such a Lion I and' such a Jackass I It Is curious to note that this cartoon was a small one buried on the last page of Harper's Weekly among the advertisements for cleansing powders, sewing machines and books. Such was the humble beginning of a symbol which was to receive nation-widrecognition. Nast did not Immediately repeat the donkey . symbol. He had others for the Democratic party, the serpent In some cases nnd the fox In others. Soon after the appearance of the donkey emblem Nast gave to the world another political symbol. In 1S70 William M. Tweed was the boss of New York and he was ruling with a high hand. The New York Times and Harpers Weekly were virtually the only papers which had the courage to oppose Tweed. Nast especially had fought Tweed with his stinging caricatures until Tweed Is said to have exclaimed. "Let's stop them d n pictures. I don't enre so much what the papers write about me, my constituents can't read, but ' d n It, they can see the pictures." Nasts reply to this threat was a cartoon In Harpers dated November 11, 1S71. which appeared Just two days before election. It showed Tweed ns Roman emperor in the Coliseum, beaming dowp upon the scene of a giant tiger rending .the helpless form of the Republic. On the tiger's collar was the word "Americus, the name of Tweed's club of which the tiger was the badge. That tiger of Nasts literally tore Tweeds ring to pieces. Only one of its members was and all were Indicted for fraud. Ily the next week another artist had adopted the tiger ns the Tammnny symbol nnd from that time on Tammany nnd Tiger were synonymous. Nast's Invention of the elephant as a symbol of the Republican (tarty came about In a half In affectionate Jab at Ids own political party. IS74 the Republicans faced their first defeat since coming Into (tower In 1800. It was not a Presl dentinl year but In New York Samuel J. Tilden. fighting against the Republican governor. John A. Dix, was making a double-edge- d fight for that Tilden appealed to alt classes of voters, office. for he had been a prosecutor of Tweed and he wns 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 wns a national Issue at stake, whether or not a President of the United States should have a third term. President Grant was believed to be determined to run for President again In 1S76. The principal opponent to the Idea was James Gordon Bennetts New York Herald, which shrieked Incessantly "Cnesarism! and declared that Dlx must be struck down to punish Grant. The New York World and even the Tribune chimed In the chorus and the New York Times n n e C?&Smcas ar SOLD AND GUARANTEED BY EVERY DRUGGIST soutsas ctrr. gravely warned, It Is stake but Tweedism." At this crucial moment Nast drew his cartoon It was showing the first Republican elephant. called The Third Term Panic The New York Herald, an ass dressed in a lion's skin labeled Caesarism," Is braying loudly and all of the the forest are fleeing In alarm. The Tribune Is shown ns a giraffe, the World as an owl dropping an arithmetic book, the Times as a uni-- , corn with a monocle. At the edge of an abyss, barely hidden by broken planks marked "Infla"Reform tion," Repudiation, (Tammany)' and Reconstruction," is a huge elephant marked Refox publican Vote. Nearby is a with features suggesting' Tildens and labeled "Democratic Party. Two weeks later, after the election of Tilden and, for. the first time in fifteen yenrs, a Republican house of representatives, Nast drew a sequel to that cartoon. It showed the elephant tumbling down into the pit with the rotten planks nnd the rejoicing animals following, and It was called .Taught In a Trap The From that Result of the Third Term Hoax. time on the elephant .was repeatedly the symbol of the Republican pnrty in the Nast cartoons. Rut It was not until 1SS0 that he showed the donkey aud the elephant together definitely marked Republican party and Democratic party. In this cartoon the elephant lay asleep before the White House while the donkey wns Jumping over a cliff Into financial chaos, despite the efforts of Senntor Bayard to pull It hack hy the tall as he exclnints, "Hold on. nnd you may walk over the sluggish animal up there yet." Other cartoonists were quick to adopt Nasts symbolism and foi the last fifty years the Republican elephant, the Democratic donkey and the Tammany tiger have been recognized members of our political zoo. Just when the camel ns the emblem of th Prohibition (tarty joined It or which artist Is responsible Is unknown, hut the camel, which traditionally can go without a drink for such long periods of time, was so obviously a symbol of the party which sought to make the country dry that no such originality ns wns shown in Nasts invention was necessary to bring it Into being. Since the passage of the Eighteenth amendment and the consequent decline of the pro hlhitionists as a national party, the camel has played but little part In the political procession. However the wet nnd dry issue which is still a concern of both parties has served to keep this hump-backesymbol alive, although each (tarty Is cautious about taking the bold step of team tng it with Its own emblem. The political zoo added a new member In 1912 when Roosevelt led a revolt In the ranks of the Republican party after the nomination of William Howard Taft at Chicago. The name adopted for the new third party was the Progressives" but it would have been difficult to have symbolized the Progressives with an animal ns striking as either the Republican elephant or the Democratic donkey. By a lucky circumstance. however, such s symbol was soon furnished them. One day newspaper reporters, seeking out Colonel Rosevelt, whose robust health had been threatened with a breakdown, asked him how he felt. The reply was characteristic of the Rough Rider and exponent of the strenuous life I feel like a bull moose," tie exclaimed And thus was the new political symbol born. For such a hardy animal, however, the Bull Moose had a short existence. It was strong enough to help the Democratic donkey defeat the Republican elephant In 1912 but soon afterwards It passed out of the political picture.
