—Give Main Street a
Chance.”
Will that slogan help
bring victory to the Demo
cratic party In the Presi
dential
campaign
next
year?
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.

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.

The moat expensive road built In
the United Stat«?s Is In Colorado.
This Is the state highway between
Ouray. Silverton and Durango and
parts of It cost $50,000 a mile.
This highway follows an old toll
road and to construct It the state had
to blust out large sections of the
mountains, build masonry embank
ments, fill In gorges construct bridges
and build stone walls to make travel
safe.
There are numerous places where
the stream In the bottom of the canon
near Ouray is more than 2,000 feet
below the highway and other places
where It Is 3,000 feet or more.
Aside from the scenic gradeur of
this highway, piercing ns It does some
