OHis Change A planter in Alabama hadn’t seen one of his former workers for a j— year, until he saw him in Mont- • gomery one Saturday. “Well, . Well!” the planter exclaimed. I “What are you doing now, Uncle __ Mose?” “Ah’s done gone to preachin’,” the venerable negro replied. a “What! You preaching?” ~ “Yes, suh!” “Well, well! Do you use notes?” “Naw, suh! At the fust Ah used dem; but now Ah has to have — cash!” Ul Competition An enterprising young florist, in order to increase his trade, displayed this sign in his window: “We give a packet of flower seed with every plant.” His competitor across the street promptly sought to meet the competition by placing in his window the following announcement: “We give the earth with every 1 plant.”

Th^llanlUkoO'ti OQ X «/7 Tales and xy — \vy Traditions f TOm American Political History FRANK E. HAGEN V4R£tX<^^ ^ELMO scon WATSON DARK HORSE \X7TTH President Roosevelt’s re- ’ nomination by the Democrats a certainty for a long time and the selection of Governor Landon strongly indicated for several months before the Republican convention met, this wasn't a year for “dark horses.’’ A “dark horse” j is American political slang applied to a man who is not generally mentioned as a candidate previous to a convention but who wins the nomination when the delegates fail to agree on one of the lead- . ing candidates. The phrase started as English racing slang, originating in the practice by jockeys of dyeing black i the hair of fast horses in order to enter them in races under another name and thereby being able to “clean up” in the betting. Gradually the use of the term was extended ; tc apply to any horse, regardless of its color, which won unexpectedly and similarly it was applied to candidates for public office. American political history affords a number of examples of dark horses capturing the Presidential nomination but only a very few of them have gone on to occupy the White House. In 1844 James K. Polk of Tennessee won the Democratic nomination at Baltimore when there was a deadlock between ex-President Martin Van Buren, and Lewis Cass. In the election he defeated Henry Clay, the Whig, and became the first “dark horse” President. Again in 1852 the Democrats assembled in Baltimore and again Lewis Cass was a leading candidate with James Buchanan and Stephen A. Douglas furnishing the principal competition for the nomination. But again there was a deadlock and when the tide turned toward Franklin Pierce, again there was a stampede and this “dark horse” from New Hampshire was nominated. In the election he defeated the Whig candidate, Gen. Winfield Scott. As for the Republicans in 1876 they passed up their strongest man, James G. Blaine of Maine, | and his principal opponent, O. P. Morton of Indiana, and gave the nomination to Gov. R. B. Hayes, Ohio's “favorite son ” who defeated Samuel Tilden, the Democratic candidate. In 1880 they turned down ExPresident Grant's bid for a third term, again passed over Blaine, failed to rally to John Sherman of Ohio, another strong contender, and finally selected another Buckeye “dark horse”—Gen. James A. Garfield. The most recent Republican “dark horse” to win the nomination and election was still another Ohioan—Sen. Warren G. Harding, who was chosen after the Lowden and Wood deadlock at the Chicago convention of 1920 had been tied up in a deadlock between Gen. Leonard Wood and Gov. Frank O. ^owden of Illinois. G. O. P. p ERHAPS you never heard of a * young printer named T. B. Dowden, but he was the man who was responsible for G. O. P. being synonymous for the Republican party. It came about in this way: In 1884. the year that the Republicans finally nominated James G. Blaine for the Presidency, young Dowden applied for work at the Cincinnati Gazette and got it. About 2:30 o’clock one morning, just before the Gazette went to press, Dowden took from the copy hook a piece of copy marked “Must go in ten lines.” He began setting it in type and, as he finished, found himself in difficulty. “My copy ends with ‘Grand Old Party’ and I have two words left over after I’ve se. the ten lines,” he told the foreman of the shop, “What shall I do?” “Throw ’em away and use your intelligence!” exclaimed the foreman impatiently. “No, wait cut ; ’em short . . . get ’em in some way! Abbreviate ’em. . . . use initials ... do anything, but hurry up. This page is going to be late!” So Dowden went back to his case and the next morning the Gazette came out with this sentence on the front page: “Th Hon. James G. Blaine will address the meeting on ‘Achievements of the GOP.’ ” At the meeting that night the Republican candidate was concluding a two-hour speech when a voice floated down from the gallery: “Why don’t you tell us something about GOP and what it did?” “Why, my friend,” retorted Blaine, “I’ve been talking about GOP all evening. The word GOP contains the initial letters of the Grand Old Party and that is its official and abbreviated name.” The audience roared with laughter but Blaine didn’t crack a smile. He little realized that he had given currency to an expression which would become a familiar trademark to millions—a trademark attached to a major political party by a hurried young printer named T. B Dowden. <g) Western Newspauer Union. Mediterranean Tides The tides of the Mediterranean are very slight—in most places only a few inches. The sea tides do enter at the Straits of Gibraltar, but their influence does not extend fat. The straits, at the narrowest point, are eight miles wide. Between Gibraltar ■ and Ceuta the distance is thirteen miles. Ghost Shooting On the lower Congo, ghosts are shot by real or pretended guns, according to a prescribed ritual.
