GETTING BEADY TO CHOOSE THE NEXT PRESIDENT

Political Parties Beginning to Look Over Material for Campaign of 1916. MANY HAVE SOUGHT HONOR History Shows That Two Hundred and Eighty Names Have Appeared Before Conventions or in Electoral Returns, Among Them Those of Two Women. Washington.—Who will be the next president of the United States? The political incubator is already being stocked with eggs for the 1916 hatching, but no soothsayer can tell just now what ones are fertile enough to produce even a candidacy. During our hundred-and-forty-year career as a republic 27 Americans have held the exalted office which gave them more power than most kings have in modern times. Since the days of 1776 no less than 50 political parties have sought supremacy and have named candidates for the biggest job in the land. Men now generally forgotten or unknown, but big in their day, had votes in the electoral colleges or in presidential nominating conventions as representatives of these parties. Their disappearance from public notice and memory is evidence of the fleeting nature of fame. The following list of about 280 names of those who have been before conventions or in electoral returns includes those of two women. This list is supposed to be complete. It is alphabetically arranged and gives the home state and party in most cases, of candidates and the year in which the name of each was considered. Asterisks indicate winners.
