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.

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.
