NICHOLS United P'WW ftun Wrir Barman Nichol Washington (U.R) 100 years ago in Washington: Let's skip the doing in Con gress a century ago and fall back ' on the man who was Pres ident in 1855. The papers of the day didn't bother much to cover the law makers, or the head man him self, for that matter. The empha sis was on the price of buggy whips, fancy mares in foal, hoop skirts and the best place in town to buy muslin and percale and derby hats. If you want to find out about the big man of the day, Presi dent Franklin Pierce, you have to go to the library. John and Alice Durant, an his torical team of researchers and writers, have come up with a volume called "Pictorial History of American Presidents." Pierce, who served from 1853 to 1857, took the biggest job in the coun try under protest. The Durants describe Pierce as "the most unambitious man who ever ran for the presidency." He said that the office "would be utterly repugnant to my tastes and wishes." In fact, the gentleman from New . Hamp shire said he would much rather stay in New England and prac tice law. Tremendous Victory Pierce, the Democrat put nothing into the campaign. He was a dark horse to start. He made not a single speech: yet he was elected by the most sweep ing majority (254 electoral votes to Gen. Winfield Scott, his op ponent's 42). He carried all but four states. Although he sat out the cam paign, Pierce let word get around that he favored the chief issue of the day the Compro mise of 1850. So, the South liked him and the "North tolerated him," mostly because he was a Yankee. Pierce is described as a hand some, genial fellow, with a flair for pitching parties, and who "had more personal friends than any other President." Among these were stalwarts like Nathaniel Hawthorne, the novelist who was a classmate at Bowdoin, from which college Pierce was graduated in 1824. Another buddy on the campus, who remained a lifetime friend, was Henry Wadsworth Longfel low. In Mourning Pierce and his wife, Jane Ap pleton Pierce, came to the White House in mourning. Shortly be fore he was nominated he and Jane had lost their third and last child, a son who was killed in a railroad accident. Jane, her self, hated Washington and sel dom attended any of the social functions. The regime of the President a century ago was unfortunate. He alienated the North by his en forcement of the Fugitive Slave Act. But apparently, behind the scenes and otherwise, he stood by his friends. He never made a single change in his cabinet during his tenure. Of, the seven members of that august body, Jefferson Davis, his Secretary of War, later was to become president of the Confederacy. Davis served with distinction in the cabinet. He modernized and enlarged equipment, improved coastal defenses, and reorganized the Signal Corps. i Pierce did make a statement once that came from inside. When he returned to New Hamp shire after he quit the White House he said: "It is nice to be back home where it is quiet." rr, ,,, .... -'riiserwc'"-" 10 " i Thursday, Wovember 3, 1955 TEMPTING COMBINATION November an ideal time to enjoy a kraut, pork and yam dinner.
