Tennessee, Held a Mass
Meeting in 1R23 and Kevo
lutionized the Methods of
Choosing President.

When the citizens of Blount coun
ty. Tennessee, held a maan meet
ing at Maryvllle early In the year
1823 they little thought that their
action was' to revolutionize the
methods of choosing a president of
the United States; that they wore
to be responsible for the beginning
of political party organizations In
this country; or that they were to
take the first step In the movement
which succeeded In obtaining recog
nition of the fact that any man ban
a right to aspire to the office of
president, whether trained or un
trained In statecraft. Those vitally
Important things which directly re
sulted from the Blount county mass
meeting became iHHues In the cam
paign of 1824 and caused that con
test to be the first in which the
American nation selected a presi
dent according to the general meth
ods still obtaining.
This Blount county misa meeting
atarted all the trouble. It refused to
bp bound by tho then rpconlzed rubs
that a president must be selected from
among those schooled In statecraft aril
experienced In administration. Every
president up to that time bad been a
man directly connected with the Rep
aration from Kngland and tho forma
tion of the republic under the consti
tution. Each president bad Deen eiui-r
ice-president or a cabinet officer In
the administration preceding his se
lection. The people h.Td practically
nothing to say In the matter of choos
ing; electors and such a thing as popu
lar Interest In a presidential campaign
was unknown. Furthermore, with the
exception of the four jears of John
Adams' administration, the head of the
government had been a Virginian and
a representative of an exclusive clii(iie
whlcn xet much store by book culture,
however democratic they may have
been In their theories of government.
Tho Idea of the succession to the
presidency was firmly fixed in tiie
minds of the politicians. It happeued
that four candidates appeared on the
horizon. Thev were John Uuincy Ad
Bins of Massachusetts. secretary of
state; William H. Crawford of Georgia
spcretnrv of the treasury: John C. Cal
houn of South Carolina, secretary of
war: and Henry Clay of Kentucky

every one of tho aspirants was a trained
statesman .of prominence In the admin
istration. Jack-sou's Nominee.
Then this Blount county raus meet
ing appeared on the scene. It pow
wowed awhile one "first Monday." ana
then adopted a resolution formally nom
inating for president of the United
States, Andrew Jackson of Tennessee.
Thus originated what would be known
In 20th century political nomenclature
ns the "Tennessee Idea." Andrew Jack
son had been a great soldier. Every
body recognized that fact and every
body praised him for t lie strategy of
The Horseshoe and the military genius
of the battle of New Orleans. But he
bad littlo or no experience in state
craft, notwithstanding a short service
In both houses of congress. The con
servatives all over the country held up
their hands In a fit of holy horror and
cried out: "This man Is not fit to be
president. He is undignified. He can't
sneak French. He doesn't know the
classics. He wouldn't know how to
act at a dinner party. He is unspeak
able." 1
For a time the three members of
Monroe's cabinet and the speaker of
the house who were running for presi
dent declined to pay much attention
to the Jackson candidacy, which was
regardod as a Joke. At this time, It
must be remembered, there was only
one partv. The old federal party or
ganization had disappeared and Monroe
had received every vote but one in the
electoral colleges of 1820. The Demo
cratic party bad everything, its own
way.

The Tennessee idea was crystallized

nominations had been diotated by the
congressional caucus, but the method
was already becoming unpopular. The
Tennessee Idea spread, and with Its

legislature came to choose electors there
was another great fight. At the outset
the Crawford people had a lead, but
not a majority, and a long fight ensued.
Then tho Adams and Clay supporters
formed a coalition and chose electors
who gave their votes: 26 for Adams, 5
for Crawford. 4 for Clay and 1 for
Jackson. Three of the electors who
were chosen as Clay men divided their
votes between Clay. Crawford and Jark
son. If these three ejectors had stood
by their agreement to vote for Clay.
John Qulncy Adams would never have
bef-n president.
When the election was over it was
found that Jackson was far In the lead
In the popular vote, but, as everybody
had known for months, the house of
representatives must choose the presi
dent. In the electoral colleges. Jackson
bad received 99 votes, Adams 84. Craw
ford 41 and 'lay 37. As the house of
representatives chooses from among the
three highest candidates, Clav was
dropped from further consideration. If
the three New York electors had obeyed
their instructions, Clay would have been
third in the race and Crawford would
have been dropped.
Cay Was Speaker.
Clay was speaker of the house of rep
resentatives and he conducted the elec
tion. There was ,i combination of Clay
and Adams forces which gave the votes
or u states to Adams, seven to Jack
son and four to Crawford, thereby elect
ing Adams president. This combination
was the basis of the "corrupt bargain"
charge that Clay had bartered away the
votes of the states he controlled In re
turn for the promise of the premiership
In Adams' cabinet. This charre of bar
ter and bargain was seized upon by the
friends ol Jackson, and the campaign
of 1SJ8 was initiated within a week
after Adams was Inaugurated and Clay
was made secretary of state.
The campaign had been an exceeding
ly bitter one. Jackson had been nooh-
poohed ami latighe l at In the 4eglnning

made upon the others.
Accused of Treachery.
Adams was accused of traitorous con
nections with the British government,
of treachery In the war of 1812 and of
designs upon the republican form of
government. He was a Unitarian, and
the opposition press made the most of
his unorthodox convictions, declaring
that he didn't believe in Jesus Christ
In reply the Adams people published
correspondence hetween John Adams
and his son, John Quincy Adams, dis
cussing religious subjects at length.
One Crawford newspaper, a fair sam

against bringing religion Into the cam

BULLETIN NO. 12
"Cheap

Light?
Bulletin No. 10, appearing in the Telegram of August 8, and
in the Oregonian and Journal, August 8 and 9, showed the
advantage of Tungsten lamps over other forms of illumina
tion. It was based on a very careful calculation of FACTS
as to gas arcs, and the cost of a 200-candlepower Tungsten
-arc per month, as shown therein, INCLUDED THE COST
OF RENEWAL.
COMPARISON WITH GAS
In comparing Tungsten lamp with the cost of gas arc, the
consumption of both was based on actual tests. Gas arc
catalogs, showing the consumption of gas, base their figures
on a gas pressure of y2 inches, and a consumption of about
16 cubic feet per hour. As a matter of fact, tests in
Portland show that the gas pressure is considerably higher
than this, and that THE ACTUAL CONSUMPTION OF
THE GAS ARC RUNS FROM 24 TO 28 CUBIC FEET
PER HOUR.
Even a superficial observation of the operation of the two
types of illuminants will show that the gas arc is also sub
ject to depreciation, as may be frequently seen by the man
tles becoming black in part or in whole; the loss of light
from this cause being far greater than from the blackening
vof electric light bulbs. Gas mantles are also SOMEWHAT
brittle m their nature, as any user can testily who has had
occasion to handle or renew them.
