BlSCASNE- B AS, FLA Back Stairs: Campaign 700 Years Ago Bv TOM NELSON Washington-fllPU-Back stairs at the White House: President Eisenhower notes a close resemblance between the political campaign lineup this year and that of 1880 the year Abraham Lincoln first put the Republican Party In the victory column. Eisenhower remarked to a group of GOP congressional candidates last week mat tins Is the first year that all four top candidates on the two na tional tickets have had experi ence in Congress since 1860, "And that, I remind you, was a Republican year," Eis enhower snid. Only Half of Story He was correct as far as he went, but the President told only half of the story about the 1860 election. A lit tle research shows there actu ally were eight candidates that year with Congressional backgrounds-four running for president, and four for vice president. ' Lincoln, of course, had served' in 'the house from 1847 to 184B. His running mate, Hannibal Hamlin, had put In two House terms and was a senator from Maine when he won the vice presi dential nomination. That also was a year the Democrats split Into two luc- tions. The Northerners picked lime House member from Kentucky, to run for prcsl dent with Sen. Joseph Lane of Oregon as his No. 2 man There was still a fourth ticket, called the Constitution al Union Party. Its candidate for the White House was John Bell, a Tcnnessean who had been a member of both the senate and house over a 26 year period. For vice presi dent' it ran Edward Everett, the famed orator who was a representative from 1829 to 1835. Of these eight 1800 can didatcs three were senators at the time of the presiden tial campnign-Hamlln, Doug las and Lane The President has intro duced his 12-ycar-old grand son, David, to Burning Tree Local Entries Win At Rock, Gem Show Two Medford couples re turned home recently after attending the Northwest Fed eration Gem and Mineral show at Eugene over the La bor day week end.

Eisenhower also has been supervising a pickup baseball game on occasion in the late afternoon on the south lawn of the White House. David is the organizer but he has his problems since the White House isn't the ideal place to recruit a sandlot team. The neighborhood is short on little league types, to say the least. One day those pressed into duty included John Meaney, the President's valet; two Se cret Service agents; the po liceman on duty at the South Portico, and David's sister, Barbara Anne, 11. The President played catch for a while with David but for the most part confined himself to coaching his grand son on his pitching and hitting. Charles E. Wilson, Eisen hower's former Defense Sec retary, paid a call at the White House last week and on leaving reminisced a bit with reporters about the days when he held sway at the Pentagon. Inevitably the conversation turned to Wilson's penchant for making the trunk off hand remark which would got him Into hot water when he was a cabinet member. Wll son said he'd figured out what was wrong with his approach ' "The trouble was," he ex plained, "that I wasn't prop erly houscbroken: I didn t know you couldn't come down here and talk about econom ics and political realities in public." 4-K NEWS Weslside Rabbileeri The Westside Rabbiteers 4-H club has had a busy club year.
