CAMPAIGNS OF MANY YEARS AGO
Buffalo (N. Y.) Express: Frank
H. Severance gave a talk at the His
torical building yesterday afternoon
on some of the presidential cam
paigns of history.
"During the recent campaign,"
said he, "several features excited
comment and have been cited as new,
For example, Mr. Bryan, twice de-
leatea, was again nominated. So
great was the comment upon this
circumstance that republicans
evolved the joke: 'Vote for Judge
Taft for president this time; you can
voto for Mr. Bryan any old time
"But this is nothincr now in Mm
political history of our country. Per
haps tho greatest man of our coun
try who never went to the White
Houso was Henry Clay Three times
iur. uiay was the defeated candi
date of his party and twice more
did ho make every effort possible to
get the nomination.
"We havo heard much about Presi
dent Roosevelt naming his successor
Roosevelt didn't deny that he want
ed Judge Taft and Judge Taft didn't
deny that ho was being fostered by
President Roosevelt. Some people
claimed this unprecedented in po
litical history; but it isn't.
"In the times of Andrew Jackson
thore was a like instance. President
Jackson loaded Martin Van Buren
with honors and appointments and
upon the close of his second term he
recommended the nomination of Mar
tin Van Buren as his successor and
pulled every wire and used every
means at his command to insure Mr.
Van Buron's nomination and election.
"Another feature of this campaign
which has been criticised by some is
the fact that both candidates have
gone before the people and person
ally solicited support. But that is
nothing new in American political
history. James G. Blaine did the
same thing; so did Stephen A. Doug
las in the '60s and so did William
Henry Harrison back in 1840."
Mr. Severance gave a most inter
esting talk on the campaign of Wil
liam Henry Harrison for tho presi
dency. Someone made the assertion
that Mr. Harrison was of lowly origin
and had been raised in a log cabin
on flapjacks and cider. Immediately
the campaign managers took the log
cabin as the emblem of the new
whig party.
At Main and Eagle streets, where
the New York Central ticket office
now stands, they built a log cabin
for a campaign headnuarters. It was
built in March and did active service
until November, a longer time than
is given to campaigning in these
days. Inside the log cabin was a
cider barrel, well filled fo- constitu
ents. On the top of the cabin was
a canoe emblematic of Harrison's
victory at the Battle of Tippecanoe.
During this campaign more music
was written and sung than during any
other campaign in political. history.
Choruses and glee clubs were formed
and they marched the streets of Buf
falo singing choruses. October 4,
1840, was a big day in Buffalo dur
ing that campaign. Log cabins on
wheels paraded Main street by the
hundreds, and girls from all west
ern New York came to ride in the
mighty procession. Following the
parade a great barbecue was held.
In speaking of campaigns of still
earlier days, Mr. Severance said that
presidential candidates were nomin
ated by congress convention " and
that the people had little or nothing
to say as to the choice. Tickets' were
not nominated. When Jefferson ran
against Aaron Burr, the man receiv
ing the highest vote became presi-
uent ana nis rival became vice presi
dent. During the campaign of 1800
it took four months to find out who
had been elected and "it was several
months before the news of the re
sults of the election reached the
various states, so slow was communi
cation. "The campaigns of today are much,
more free from mud-slinging and
abusive epithets than they were in
the earlier days," said Mr. Severance.
The opponents of Washington open
ly denounced him as trying to as
sume the crown; while Jefferson was
accused of trying to betray the
United States to France. Jackson
was denounced as the man who
ordered soldiers shot down without
trial and the fact was advertised by
posters covered with coffins'
