Pertinent to the presidency. Since
March 4 fall a on Sunday, the president:
wni ; take oath of office Sunday and
Monday will again be sworn in when
the usual Inaugural ceremonies will
occur ;,
For the first time in S4 years, and for
the second time' In our nation's his
tory, 'a Democratic president succeed
hlmtelf. Andrew Jackson, first elect-
ed" Jb JS.28, was the first, and hereto
fore the only Democrat to occupy th-'
White flouse for more than four con
secutive, years. Grover Cleveland
ecutive terms ever served by any
presdent.
Never before has a president and
a rice-president been elected, each
having failed to carry, his home state.
Not ' only did President Wilson lose
New jersey, but also Vice-President
Marshall failed to ' carry Indiana
Heretofore James K. Polk was the
only candidate ever elected to the
presidency with hls own state, Ten--tiessce,
voting against him.
Segarding Vice-Presidents.
Vloe-Presldnt Marshall Is the first
iti 8S ynrs to succeed himself In that
office. It has been an even hundred
years since both president and vice
president have been reelected. Presi
dent, and . vice-president have succeed
" ed' themselves only twice before: John
Adams was reelected with Washing
ton and Daniel D. Tompkins was re
elected wlh Monroe. In only two oth
er instances has a vice-president been
reelected: Oeorjre Clinton nerved one
.term with Jefferson and waB reelected
with Madison; he died In office: John
C. Calhoun served with John Qutncy i
Adams, and was reelected with Jack- j
on. lie was the only vice-president '
who ever resigned the office, doing so
to enter the'teenate.
Oas Business .jean President.
There has not been a business man
elected president since Washington,
who, in addition to operating extensive
plantation interests, was engaged in
numerous other business enterprises.
Of the remaining presidents, nineteen
were lawyers, four were public offi
cials, two were soldiers, and one was
a retired soldier, temporarily a farm
er. . Three had served as college pro
fessors: Garfield was professor of
mathematics and later president of
Hiram college; John Qutney Adam
was professor of belles-lettres at Har

during .the part of the four-year term

The Oldest aad the Tonagtst.
The elder Harrison was the oldest
president, being 68 when Inaugurated;
Roosevelt, the youngest, was 42. Oar-
field died the youngest, aged 49. John
Adams lived to be the oldest, dying
at the age of 90. Only two other pres
idents lived to be over 80.
Those states that are most evenly
balanced between the great political
parties, having at the same time num.
erous electoral votes, are, as a rule,
favored with presidential and vice
presidential nominations. New York
has furnished six presidents, Virginia
and Ohio five each, and Tennessee
three. Of the presidents, etght were
Dorn in Virginia ana six in Ohio. Penn
sylvanla, for many years second only
to New York In electoral strength, has
furnished but one president Bu
chanan.
Inauguration of
Roosevelt Costly
Washington. March 3. (I. N. S.)
It Is quite certain the cost of Presi
dent Wilson's inauguration will not
reach that of Theodore Roosevelt's,
which Is believed to have been the
most expensive in our history. It took
ti45.491.28 to Inaugurate Mr. Koose-
velt.
The largest Item In the Roosevelt
Inauguration bill was ballroom decora
tions, which cost 317,988.18.
In many administrations the unex
pended balance of the money raised for
Inauguration expenses has been turned
over to the poor of the District of
Columbia. After President Harrison's
Inauguration In 1889 the poor got
320.000.

James K. Polk ls said to have had the
strongest cabinet, taken as a whole,
of any president, every member of
which was fully as well qualified to
be president as the chief executive
himself.
Washington was the -only president;
ever unanimously elected James Mon

according to his Instructions given

William H. Crawford.
Facts Concerning Electors.
There Is only one other Instance ot
clear-cut defiance of electoral Instruc
tions: In 1796 art elector violated in
structions given by the legislature of
Massachusetts In favor of John
Adams. In 1834 certain state legis
latures that elected and Instructed
electors. Issued lr.tructions not In !
harmony with tne nominations made
by the congressional caucus. This
led to much confusion and scattering
of votes, as the electors Involved
chose, each for himself, which Instruc
tions he would follow. The number
of candidates receiving votes was so
large that none received the required'
majority; hence for the second and
lasf time the. house of representatives
named the president, choosing John
Qulncy Adams. James Russell Lowell,
the poet, threatened to violate his In
structions and vote for Tilden during
the Tllden-Hayes controversy, because.
ror a time. It appeared to him that
Tilden was being; robbed of the presi
dency, but he finally voted for Hayes,
wno was declared elected by one vote.
oniy arter the electoral commission
had canvassed the returns and decided
a number of contests in his favor.
Tacts About Presidents.
It is interesting- to note that of the
27 presidents 18 had only one given
name; of the nine having- middle
names one, Thomas 'Woodrow Wilson,
has entirely dropped his first, and
one, Hiram Ulysses Grant, dropped his
first and added his mother's maiden
name, Simpson, aa his second, upon
entering the military academy at West
Point.
No man ever went from the United
States senate to the presidency; many
have attempted it. Mr. Hughes ws
the only Justice of the supreme court
who ever ran for president.
james Buchanan was the only
I bachelor president; .Cleveland was

Neither Jackson. William FT. Tlarrl
1 son, nor Johnson fully trusted himself
- in w ruing important state nan on
the other hand. Jefferson, Lincoln and
Wilson are conspicuous, as seldom
trusting others; they did themselves
the work on many documents that by
otner presidents would have been
lurnea over xo assistants. Even Wash-
ingions xareweu aaaress is said tc
have been largely the work of Hamil

than any president ever did. The prod
