TAME COMPARED TO FORMER DAYS Bowie Knives and Pistols Flourished in 1856 When Bourbons Nominated Bu chanan On 17th -Ballot By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE WASHINGTON, (AP) What Is iu, what namei will resound In the convention ball or the Democratic party thla year? and Republican partlea this year? Bowl knives and pistols probably will not be flourished u they were In 1850 when the Democrats In Cin cinnati nominated James Buchanan of Pennsylvania on the 17th ballot, and probably no delegates will have to knock down the doorkeepers to enter the convention hall as did the Benton delegates from Missouri at that Cincinnati convention. ' Compared with the invective-hurling, blood-spilling campaigns of their early days, the quadrennial struggles of the two parties have become as decorous as a mid -Victorian croquet 1 match on a Newport lawn. News By Pony Express In those early days "whispering campaigns" apparently were drowned out by the shouted attacks against the personalities of political leaders, Political news from the far west came east by steamer and by pony express after running a gauntlet of Indians on trie warpath. Rltey fami lies In the bigger towns were proud of their gas lights, the piano duster was a new household accessory and metropolitan "playboys" wore white heaver summer hats. The census revealed there were 100,000 blacksmiths la the country, 80,000 wheelwrights and the aarae number of wagon makers as editors. Buchanan Wins In the 1850 campaign the newly formed Republican party chose Oen eral John Fremont, while ex-Presl dent Millard Fillmore was the can didate of the "Know-Nothings op posed to "Romanism" and foreign Influenoe. Buchanan was elected. Then as the war god began to sur vey a boundary line across the mid dle of the United States on which to paint a streak of blood came the conventions of I860, and with them the name of Abraham Lincoln. The raid of John Brown, his exe cution for treason and overt acts of violence had fanned the flames of sectional hostility over slavery to a point Wthere feeble attempts by con ciliators to extinguish them were un vailing. The word "secession" was In many mouths. Both conventions seethed, only slightly controlling the enmity that boiled under the surface. . In Aplrl of 1800 the Democrats convened at Charleston, ."seat of se cession." Southern oratory was In full flower. The Italian opera "af forded nightly treats for the cognos centi of the convention, and Oil more 's band from Boston played for the promenaders of the battery who looked out upon a soft blue sea." Northern and southern Democrats could not agree on a slavery plank In the platform, and the southerners withdrew. Later at Baltimore, Steph en Douglas of Illinois was nominated. More southern states withdrew and nominated John O, Breoklnrldge of Kentucky. A group of moderates Dominated John Bell of Tennessee., Triumph Over Politicians Hulled The Republicans nominated Lin coln over Seward, a victory hailed by the northern press as a triumph of the people over the politicians. Animosity Increased, and as the breach grew larger Republican power Increased. Lincoln received a large majority of electoral votes. The day before he was elected New York pa- pen printed bulletins saying South i Carolina would secede. War came. It raged for three years, and then another campaign waa on. Attacks on presidents of recent years have been no more savage than those made upon Lincoln. Some Washing ton correspondents professed to see a tyrannical tendency In Lincoln's frequent reading of books about Na poleon. He also was criticised for extrava gance In the alleged purchase of a 18-wheeled cart at a cost of 80,000. But when the Republicans met, Connecticut sang the theme song: "Connecticut gives her 13 votes for that pure and patriotic statesman, Abraham Lincoln." He was nominat ed on the first ballot. The Democrats nominated General Oeorge B. McClellan, union army of ficer, on a platform declaring war to be a failure, a platform which Mc Clellan himself repudiated. The south, of course, was out of the 1804 race because of the war. The Democratic platform said that "public welfare demands Immediate efforts for a cessation of hostilities wlt,h a view to a convention of the states to the end that pence may be restored at the earliest possible mo ment." But Lincoln won with 9,330,653 votes; McClellan received 1,835,988 ' votes.

T FOR COAST FRUIT HINGES ON TERM A discussion on the formation of the new corporation for handling in tercostal steamship shipments of northwest apples and pears, which was formulated at Yakima last Mon day, was the principal Item of bust nes considered at Thursday's meeting of the Rogue River Traffic associa tion. No action was taken on the rec ommendations of the board of trus tees of the new corporation, pending the return of Gordon R. Green, Med ford 'a representative on the board. The report presented Involved the signing of a five-year contract with the Quakor 11m, which proposed to establish the intercostal service, and the opinion of the ehlppers in this district Is that five years Is too long a period to tie up five per cent of the local crop. The trustees of the new corporation, with the exception of the Medford and Hood Fiver rep resentatives, favored the signing of the contract, according to informa tion presented to the traffic associa tion. The request that other northwest districts adopt the plan of printing recipes for preparation of pears on their fruit wraps, which has been In use here for three years, was passed on to the Oregon -Washington Pear bureau by the Hood River, Wenat chee, and Yakima organizations, but the local group decided today to again urge that each district conduct this advertising work separately from the others, as had been done here.
