The members of the Woman's National Democratic club hope that It will. Realizing the value of a good, snappy campaign ogan as a vote-getter, several months ;o the club announced a prize con st as the means of securing a rally- g cry for the Democratic party In 128. Hundreds of catchy phrases were fered in the contest, but the one ibmltted by Mrs. Wilbur Hubbard of vestertown. Md., was selected as the ie most likely to offset the vote- ittlng powers of “Coolidge prosper- y," which the Republicans are ex- ;cted to emphasize. Whether or not they have guessed ght remains to be seen. There Is j denying the power of a good slogan i a nation which thinks in terms of itchy phrases and one of whose pop lar deities Is the great god, Adver- sing, who utters his Jovian wisdom i slogans. But to get a good slogan -ay, there's the rub! Slogans have won elections even be- >re the American public became slogan conscious." Perhaps the earll- !t example of this was the political tmpalgn of 1840. For 40 years (since 400 when Jefferson was elected) the •emocrats had been in power and the ,'hlgs. the successors and heirs of the ederallsts, had longed for the flesh- ots of government power. They noml- ated Gen. William Henry Harrison, veteran of the War of 1812, famous >r bis victory over the Indians at the attie of Tippecanoe, but at the time t bis election living on a frontier irm In Ohio. His running mate was -,hn Tyler of Virginia and early in te campaign the battle cry of the fhlgs became the “three T’s”— rippecanoe and Tyler, too." The al teration was pleasing to the ear of le voter, but even more effective as the symbolism of the Whig party, [arrlson was known as “the bog Cab- i candidate." because of his pioneer areer In Indiana and In all of the ampalgn parades there appeared oats bearing a log cabin with a coon- kin nailed on the walls and a biiYrel f hard cider standing beside the door, loth the symbolism and the slogan of [arrlson's “log cabin and hard cider” umpaign were such as would appeal lost to the West, which had begun to ise to political power with the elec- on of "Old Hickory" Jackson, and larrlson was swept into the White louse by an Immense majority over [artin Van Buren of New York. Radio’s Great Service Most of us think of the radio as a source of recreation or pleasure or in formation for ourselves. How many of us think what It may mean to some one less fortunate? An old lady in New York—and lady Is the right w o rd -w h o was formerly well-to-do but Is now poor and a “shut-in,’ re ceived a set as a present Just before Christmas. An employee of the donor Installed It for her. The first sound Four years later, the United States was involved in two disputes, one with Mexico over Texas and the other with Great Britain over Oregon. The Demo cratic party which stood for the "re- occupation of the Oregon country and the reannexation of Texas,” went buck Into power with the election of James K. Polk of Tennessee, and by the time Polk had taken the oath of office the whole country was repeating the slogan, “Fifty-four Forty or Fight 1” as the basis of our claims In the Ore gon country. In the war with Mexico one of our victorious generals was Zachary Taylor and from an Incident In the battle o f Buena Vista there came a slogan which helped elect Taylor President In 1848. It was the famous “A little more grape. Captain Bragg" which struck the popular fancy. As a matter of fact what Tay lor really said on that occasion was the laconic “Give 'em hell.” But that didn't matter especially. The main thing was that the combination of the “grape” slogan and his nickname of “Old Rough and Ready” had much the same appeal as the Harrison combina tion In 1840. Next to a good slogan a picturesque nickname apparently Is a powerful factor In a Presidential election, as witness “Old Hickory” Jackson, “Old Tippecanoe” Harrison and “Old Rough and Ready” Taylor. Lincoln's military record was not one which had any special appeal but the pioneer symbol ism o f the “Rail-Splitter Candidate" and “Honest Abe,” no doubt had some thing to do with his election. After the Civil war the nation honored an other military hero when It elected “Unconditional Surrender” Grant and the Spanish American war produced the “Rough Rider1 candidate In the election of 1904 when "Teddy" be came President The Presidential aspirations of James G. Blaine were favored by the “Plumed Knight” and the “Rupert of Debate," nicknames as well as the tuneful "Blaine of Maine.” These, however, were more than offset by “Nosey Blaine,'' “The Tattooed Man,” and “Jim the Penman” (alluding to tlie famous Mulligan Letters) appellations. But the fatal thrust to his chances was applied when Rev. It. B. Bur chard declared In a speech for Blaine that all conscientious Americans gliould vote the Republican ticket be cause the Democrats stood for “Rum, Romanism and Rebellion.” Blaine did not hear him distinctly enough to repudiate this slur upon the religious belief of millions of Americans and the slogan which the Republicans had thus attempted to tuck on to their opponents proved to be a boomerang and undoubtedly had something to do with Blaine's detent by Cleveland. When the polltieal stur of Wood- row Wilson rose Into the ascendancy the power o f the slogan was again demonstrated. In 1012 the appenl for “an honest dollar for an honest Presi dent" gave every American a chance to make an Individual contribution to campaign funds and gave him an In dividual Interest in politics. In the close race of 1918 who can say but that the slogan “He kept us out of war” swung the scales in favor of Woodrow Wilson over Charles Evans Hughes, even though the next six months saw us In the w arl Although Wilson was as different from Roose velt ns two men can well be, like T. R. he had the gift of apt expre» sion which the average American was quick to appreciate and appropriate. So “watchful waiting," “make the world safe for democracy" and “open covenants openly arrived nt” became a part of the current speech. When a war-weary and disillusioned world began to take stock of Itself and learned again that there can be defeat In victory, the Presidential campaign of 1020 found America al ready eager to forget war and every thing connected with war. So Warren G. Hardings "back to normalcy" slogan was one well-calculated to ap peal to the popular fancy after all the turmoil of the past two years and anything savoring of calmness and serenity was looked upon with favor. So the American voters elected Hard ing, a calm man, who sat conferring with the “best minds" on the conduct of his “front porch campaign." Four years later the same appeal to the de sire for calmness, for letting well enough -alone, this time summed up In the slogan "Keep Cool With Cool- Idge.” again won an election for the Republican party. What will the spirit of the campaign of 1928 be—one of rest or unrest, sat isfaction or dissatisfaction, and In the words of what slogan will that spirit be expressed? Will the slogan writ ten by a Maryland woman help put a Democrat In the White House after eight years of Republican rule, will the country continue to “Keep Cool with Coolidge,” and enjoy “Coolidge Prosperity,” or will there be other standard bearers In both parties for whom new slogans will have to be coined? The answer to all of these questions will be written by History on the first Tuesduy after the first Monday In November, 1928. she heard was the notes of a violin solo, with an accompaniment.

P aris Says S a n t Sleeves. member, Is a favorite mode of deco ration for lingerie. Many of the In coming full guruients show this embel lishment. Another opportunity for deft needle work and color combination Is present ed In the chemise shown in tlie lower left corner. For the tiny points which are sewed In vertical rows and about the hemline cut two-inch squares. Fold each Into a triangle nnd seam them into the garment ns pictured. The other two sketches show fashion able lingerie which departs from tlie tailored theme, hy stressing a hand some Ince treatment. As to the sleeveless mode, Paris fashionista come out strong for It now that midsummer le here. Quite Interesting this, when one recalls how at tlie beginning of the season long the little figured effects, which have been so exploded this season. Practical und adaptable to midsea son wear Is tlie short cnpe-aiid-hlouse costume which l i s a either a separate or an attached sleeveless blouse. For street wear these youthful looking cape suits are developed either of fine novelty woolen checks or of sutln or crepe. These sleeveless dnytlme frocks which have a cape to match are Idenl for early autumn when cool breezes struggle for supremacy with depart ing summer tungfcw, Then, too, with out the cape, one Is chnrmlngly nttlred for afternoon bridge or five o'clock ten. With the cape, perfect street apparel Is achieved. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© . m i . by W » U rn Na«rap«o>r Un "on )
