It was a long string of couplets, you remember, which listed the Presidents in order and started off with “First stands the lofty Washington. That noble, great, immortal one.” Each time a new President was elected some self-appointed “poet laureate” added an appropriate couplet for each one. To date 31 Presidents have thus been listed in order, ending with: “And now a Roosevelt we see Not Theodore but Franklin D.” Will the poem stop at that point for the next four years or will there be another name to be celebrated in rhyme after November 3— The name of Alfred M. Landon? It won’t be long now until we know the answer to that question. But whichever way the election results, the collectors of “Interesting Facts About Our Presidents” will have some new items to add to their lists. If Landon Wins. If Alfred M. Landon is elected this year, he will be: The first President bearing the name of Alfred. The first governor of a trans-Mississippi state. The first elected from the state of Kansas. The first engaged in the oil industry. (The first was James Buchanan). The second born in Pennsylvania. The second elected from the trans-Mississippi West (The first was Herbert Hoover). Although Landon will be the first governor from a Western state to go to the White House, he will be the 15th state executive to be promoted to executive of the nation. The others were Monroe.

If, in the event of his election, Ohio decided to make good her claim to him, she would then have eight Presidents—Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, McKinley, Taft, Harding, and Landon. This would put her ahead of Virginia, “the Mother of Presidents” with her seven: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, William Henry Harrison, Tyler, and Wilson. Landon’s election also would add to our list of soldier Presidents. His service as a lieutenant in the chemical warfare service during the World War would place his name in the list along with these men who served their country in the army during a war: Washington, Monroe, Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt. Young Presidents. The success of the Kansas governor on November 3 would also add to the list of our “young Presidents,” that is, under fifty years of age. Landon is forty-nine, the same age as James K. Polk and James A. Garfield when they were elected. Franklin Pierce was forty-eight, Grover Cleveland was forty-seven, U. S. Grant was forty-six and Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest of all—forty-two. Both nominees this year, Landon at forty-nine and Roosevelt at fifty (when he was elected) are under the average age of their predecessors on inauguration—fifty-four. Henry Harrison was the oldest—sixty-eight—and four others were over sixty. They were John Adams, Jackson, Taylor and Buchanan. If Landon wins it will mean a Methodist in the White House instead of an Episcopalian and bring the score of that sect up to five as compared to the Episcopalian and the Presbyterians. Seven. Three Presidents have been Unitarians, two of the Dutch Reformed faith, one Baptist, one Congregationalist and one Quaker. Thomas Jefferson was classed as a Liberal and a noted biographer declares that he was a believer in Christianity, although not a sectarian. While President Johnson was not a church member, he was a Christian believer and his wife was a Methodist, resulting in him being accredited to that faith. The Presidents who were Episcopalians were Washington, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Pierce, Arthur, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Those claimed as Presbyterians were Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Lincoln, Cleveland, Harrison, and Wilson. The Methodists were Johnson, Grant, Hayes, and McKinley. John Quincy Adams, Fillmore, and Taft were Unitarians. Van Buren and Roosevelt were of the Reformed Dutch faith. Harding was a Baptist, Garfield, a Disciple, Coolidge, a Congregationalist, and Hoover a Quaker. Seventeen of the Presidents were of English ancestry, six of Scotch-Irish, two were mostly Scotch and four Dutch descent, one chiefly Welsh and another Scotch and Dutch. If Landon wins, he will be the sixth President who has married twice. The others were Tyler, Fillmore, Benjamin Harrison, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt’s second marriage took place before he was President. Tyler’s and Wilson’s while they were President and Fillmore’s and Harrison’s after they had left office. If Roosevelt wins, he will be the eleventh President who was successful in seeking re-election. The others were Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, and Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt THE ELY MINER, ELY, MINN. and Coolidge are not included in that list because, although “re elected” while serving as President both attained that office the first time through the death of their predecessors. Of the ten Presidents who were re-elected, eight served two complete terms. The second terms of Lincoln and McKinley were cut short by the bullets of assassins and William Henry Harrison died after a month of his second term. Six Who Failed. If Roosevelt is defeated, he will be the seventh President who has sought re-election and failed to win it. The others were John Quincy Adams, who was defeated for a second term by Andrew Jackson, whom he had defeated when he won his first election; Martin Van Buren, who was defeated by William Henry Harrison, whom he had previously beaten; Grover Cleveland who lost to Benjamin Harrison in 1889, then defeated Harrison in 1893; Benjamin Harrison, who was defeated by Cleveland; Theodore Roosevelt, who after serving out McKinley’s term, won in his own right in 1904 but was defeated by Wilson when he tried it again in 1912; and Herbert Hoover who lost to Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. When Roosevelt was elected in that year, he became the fourth President born in New York and elected from that state, Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore and Theodore Roosevelt being the other three. However, he was the sixth President elected from the Empire state, since Chester A. Arthur, who was born in Vermont, and Grover Cleveland, a native of New Jersey, were residents of New York when they went to the White House. Roosevelt is also the third New York governor to go from the executive mansion in Albany to the White House. The other two were Van Buren and Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt’s election added one more to the “family names” in the Presidency—John Adams and John Quincy Adams, William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison, and Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Western Newspaper Union. A Boost for Home Sewing! HERE are three Sewing Circle specialties that are as easy to make as humming a tune.

A naturalist has discovered that they can get water even in deserts. When a well was being sunk on a Transvaal farm, the drillers saw a tiny two-inch shaft running into the earth. They traced a miniature well sixty-five feet deep. With amazing persistence, the white ants had dug their way until they found water. The natural kept watch and saw water-carrier ants moving up and down the shaft by day and night, each returning to the surface with a drop of water. The round trip required half an hour.

Uncle Sam's wisdom is personal. Most of the wisdom one acquires one can’t communicate to anyone else. Each man’s life is his own. Dreams no more come true than most suspicions. The “hand” who watches the clock will never be the mark of the hour. One has never fully lived until he has spent a year on a farm and explored the resources of the country general store. It’s like Crusoe exploring his ship. Check-Rein Needed. One should be glad he has emotions; but keep a rein on them. Most people love books—on the shelves. No greater treasure is given to a man than a close-mouthed friend. It is the only kind that is fit to be. A monkey never seems to have any repose. Its life is all excitement as it is for some men. A bold speaker will inevitably get a following no matter what he advocates. There are so many of the timid. We Are as Sheep. Most people would rather work at another’s direction than to accept responsibility. That’s why good executives are hard to find. There is no such thing as rights without duties. It isn’t Against the output of foolish ideas that society must be well armed. That can’t be helped. It must be armed against so many people believing in them. No creature, human or otherwise, can well-measure you quite as wholeheartedly is a dog.
