If, for any reason, the Democrats should try to rebel against the domination of their outgoing President, his control over of the convention at least votes would enable him to block the nomination of any candidate whom be opposed. So when his party prepared to hold its first convention in Balti-i1032, Jackson wrote out this resolution which he gave to one of his lieutenants to present to the delegates: Resolved, That each State shall be entitled, in the nomination of a candidate for the to a number of votes equal to the number to which they will be entitled in the Electoral College under the new apportionment In voting for President and of the and that whole number of the votes in the convention shall be necessary to constitute a choice. The Baltimore convention was as completely dominated by Jack-soas the recent Philadelphia meeting was controlled by Roose velt so the delegates obediently adopted the resolution. During Jacksons lifetime several efforts were made to abolish the rule but all of them failed. After his death it became ell but sacred and for the next hundred years the shadow of Andrew Jackson, in the form of this rule, hung over every Democratic convention, causihg mnny a stormy session.

In her upraised hand she holds a torch and with that torch for half a century she has been enlightening the world.' For she is Miss Liberty, otherwise the Statue of Liberty on Bedloes Island at the entrance to New York harbor. It was on October 28, 1886, thatt she took her stand there. On that made a sketch of the date occurred the formal dedica- quickly statue and during his proposed tion of this gift of the people of stay in this country talked enof a sister Frtmce to the people republic. The principal address at the dedication was delivered by President Grover Geveland and thousands of people crowded on to the little island or lined the New York shore nearby to witness the ceremonies. On October 28 of this year that historic ceremony will be duplicated by another and similar one.

You know what we call a man of iron is really the man of calcium. The metal calcium in the blood, in quantities that do not change, or that change little, produces a steadiness of nerve lacking in men with a fluctuating calcium supply, It is said that experiments made on four young men at an eastern university showed that a drop in calcium brought on moodiness, depression and pessimism.

He met President Generals Grant, Meade and Sheridan and the poet, Longfellow, during his stay in this country and found them sympathetic toward the project. Upon his return to France, he showed his friends the sketch he had made on board ship--a giant figure of a woman which be called Liberty Enlightening the World. Soon the French were organizing committees to raise money to pay for such a magnificent gift to America and Bartholdi was commissioned to make the statue. The beginning of the campaign to raise the money was celebrated on November 6, 1875, by a huge banquet at the Hotel Louvre in Paris. Prominent figures in the world of arts, letters and politics were present, both from the United States and Francis. Among the celebrities there, also, was Gounod, composer of the famous opera Faust, who had written a special hymn in honor of the goddess, which, he announced, was to be sung at the opera's According to the program drawn up by Major General commander of the Schofield, eastern department of the United States army, the formalities in--' eluded military, naval and civil parades,' speeches and invocations, patriotic songs and hymns, artillery salutes and illuminations. One can imagine Bartholdis pride when he drew the cords of the huge tricolor and unveiled the statue in the presence of President Cleveland and his cabinet, the French delegation, members of both houses of congress, the nation's political and military leaders, massed troops and a vast throng of onlookers. Eighth Wonder et World ' When Count Ferdinand da Lesseps made the speech in Paris in 1884 presenting this statue to the American people he called it. the eighth wonder of the world and it is indeed that. For Miss Liberty is two or three feet higher than the famous Colossus of Rhodes;. Her .height from the heel to the top of the torch in the raised arm is 151 feet. From the base Of this foundation of the pedestal to' the where it had been visited by more than 300,000 people. When the framework and base were put in place at the French capital, Levi P. Morton, American ambassador to France, drove the first rivet in it. Late in 1883 the work in France was practically completed but the pedestal on Bedloe's island was only partly finished. So the figure was placed on exhibition in Paris where it towered over the housetops for months. On June ll, 1884, Ambassador Morton gave a great dinner to the committee of the . . French-America- n. Union, under whose direction the work had been done, and suggested that formal presentation be made on July 4. This was done and the presentation took place in Paris, with Ambassador Morton representing the United States, and Ferdinand de Lesscps,- builder of the Suez Canal, the French; A month later the corner stone of the pedestal was laid on Bedloe's Island and in June of the next year it was completed.

In 1872 Congress had voted to accept the gift and in 1877 Bedloe's Island, previously used as the site of a fort, war set aside for the memorial. Work on the memorial proceeded steadily, though far from as speedily as the ardent Bartholdi wished. His first small model stood nearly six feet high.

The head of the statue was exhibited at the Paris exposition of 1878. The following year the subscription lists were filled and on July 7, 1880, an official letter was addressed to the American committee in charge of the project on this side of the Atlantic, reporting on the progress of the work and the probable date of its completion. Steadily the work went on and by October 19, 1881, the anniversary of the Battle of Yorktown, all pieces of the figures framework and the base were in place in the work rooms in France, , 'tti M' - w yC1 L. r ' - - 7 . . 6 pop-ula- A-- -- . . . fa Jr 4" H,. , y $ ) aj, d n t; two-third- s n Gp instantly In t a wateh by atop a gennln lUUCIt Aspirin tablnt aurta to dwlntngraia and go to work.
