Steam-rollmethods of attaining the objective, which in this case was the nomination of William McKinley for President, were first utilized by Mark Hanna in the Republican convention of 1896. And they succeeded. Hanna had observed the amazing switch of delegates to James A. Garfield in 1880 when the latter was earnestly and honestly pleading the cause of John Sherman of Ohio. Sherman tried again in 1888, this time employing McKinlej as his convention manager. At one stage of the proceedings, the report spread that if McKinley would say the word the strength of the delegates would be thrown to him. He promptly put an end to the movement, his vigorous interl, for he alruption of the ready had received a vote, ending No dele with a demand that: gate who would not cast reflection upon me shall cast a ballot for me. Hanna was impressed, as were many others. From that day he moved his support from Sherman, who had been defeated three times, and began to groom McKinley for the presidency. The opportunity came in 1896. When the convention met, only delegates were seated. regular The national committee o.k.d them,, one by one, by the vote of 35 to 15. And it just happened they all were McKinley men. Newspaper reports of the times describe the proceedings as a farce. But at any rate they were successful for McKinleys principal opponent was courting the southern vote, ipany of whom could not prove an unbroken chain of party fealty, and therefore were not seated. The result was an outstanding majority for McKinley on the first ballot, Thomas B.

HAGEN SPEECH OF NOMINATION 1 OST of the reason for the title 1 1 of these little stories The Man Who is supplied by the orators at political conventions who place the name of candidates in nomination. Today from the loudspeakers come to most of us convincing talks, startlingly free of modesty, which extol the virtues of this favorite son or that one s his name is placed before convention delegates. But the most successful of these nominating speeches occurred long before static was a household word. It was made in Chicago at the Republican convention of 1880 by James A. Garfield, and made honestly, in behalf of the nomination of John Sherman. Its net result was that Sherman failed to win the nomination but Garfield succeeded. So that Garfield, later a martyred President, actually is the man who nominated himself. Here is how it happened. President Hayes had pledged himself not to be a candidate. When the convention opened it was plain that great efforts would be made to nominate General Grant for a third term. James G. Blaine was a formidable candidate but Grant had been presented in a glowing burst of oratory from Roscoe Conk-lina bitter enemy of Blaine. Garfields speech in behalf of Slierman followed Conkling's effort. Instead of qualifyng merely as an x it is described by those who were there as an outstanding oratorical triumph. Grant, Blaine, Sherman, George F. Edmunds, Elihu B. Washburne and William Windom divided the votes until the thirty-fourt- h ballot. Then Garfield, whose speech still resounded in the minds of the delegates, received 17 votes. He immediately took the floor and protested that he was there only in the interests of Sherman, whose candidacy he managed. He was ruled out of order. On the next ballot his strength had increased to 50 votes. Chi the thirty-sixt- h ballot, with 399 votes, he received the nomination which his epochal speech had asked for another man. 1935. still By Elmo Scott Watson Hutory A for himself his With latest 'lately. picture, Earthworm Tractor," welcomed by the public as one of the funniest hes ever made, he started off on a vacation.
