nothing less than the mainten-
Btee of the Union itself. Never be-
nor since have the masses been
■Hired to such a high pitch of ex-
over a presidential election.
Bad many still living are able to re

**nklenr. William 1.. Yancey of
llabamn was the spokesman of the
Jotton States at the Charleston
jmventioß. Mr. Yancey was an ex
remist on the side of the South,
hmpnrablp to Wendell Phillips and
Hpam Lloyd Harrison among the
Streme anti-slavery leaders in the
vorth. *•
The convention at Charleston
tdopted anti-slavery report by a
(arrow majority. Immediately the
Alabama delegation withdrew and
be example was followed by practi
cally all of the delegates from the
Cotton States. The convention then
adjourned to meet at Baltimore in
June. There, after a long and bitter
foulest, Stephen A. Douglas was
named to head the presidential
ticket.
Meanwhile, the delegates who had
Shlted the Charleston convention had
met at Richmond, whence they also
adjourned to Baltimore, and, joined
there by other -feeders, placed in
nomination a ticket headed by John
U. Breckinridge of Kentucky for
President,
Still another ticket was placed in
the field Tty a faction which called
itself the Constitutional Union
Party. A convention was held at
Baltimore and John Bell of Ten
nessee was named for President and
Edward Everett of Massachusetts
for Vice President.

the Republican national convention.

candidate for the presidential nomi
nation on the first balot. Several
Others showed considerable strength,
but Abraham Lincoln rapidly forged
ahead, and on the third ballot re
oeived the nomination.
p iie political campaign that fal
lowed was the iucinoraolc in the
nation's history. Douglas made his
last try for the presidency with
jronderful vigor and spirit. He can
%asskl the entire country, and great
throngs were moved by his energetic
oratory. Jefferson Davis and other
eminent Southern leader.- stumped
the North in his behalf. Before elec
tion day,... however, it was evidene to
(sisrewd political observers that the
New Republican party would carry
the bulk of the Northern electoral
vote.
At the clctlon none of the four
eondidntes obtained a majority of the
popular vote. Lincoln led with L
-890,352, and Douglas followed not
far behind with 1,375,157. Breckin
ridge received 845,703, and Bell
r. sit 51. Fifteen States chose Repub
lican elctors out of sevn, and so
Lincoln got a majority of the Elec
toral College.

CRUCIAL WEEK AT HAND
. •• • .. .>■ "i 11- ' *
Ford Coupe Special Prize
’ Purchased From Reid Motor Co.
Value $621.00
i
Because of the addition of the Ford Coupe special prize, pictured above,
to the already large list of gifts in The Tribune-Times campaign, in the third
and fourth, the last two periods of this now famous prize offer, these final
days have been made most important to candidates. One of those fateful last
three weeks has passed and there now remains but one short week in
the third period, which ends Saturday night, November 14th, at midnight.
That date will also witness the inauguration of the smallest vote schedule of
the entire campaign and the cutting in half of points which are being given
on NEW subscriptions on the Ford Coupe. You can probably figure out for
yourself, then, the truth of the statement that the coming week is the most
crucial to the fortunes of contestants. To weaken now will be fatal to any
contender, while on the other hand, a good lead in votes and points after a
week from tonight, will be to place yourself among the happy prize winners
at the end, which comes at 10 o'clock on Saturday night, November 21st.
Any candidate stands to win two automobiles or any of the original capital
prizes as well as the Ford Coupe between now and the final hout of the cam
paign. If it is worth while, then we say go after it, and make these final days
of this genuine opportunity what you have hoped to make it.

From “The Clean Heart,” by A. S.

1 don't mind people thinking
things in the paper rotten, if I've
passed them and thought them good.
But I’m darned- if 1 let things go
in that I know are rotten, just be
cause they're written by some big
man, 1 don’t mind my own judg
ment being blamed. But I'm not
going to hear criticism of anything in
my paper and know that I made the
sante criticism myself but let it go.
Satisfy yourse'.f!! That's the only
rule to go by.
