European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 29, 1948, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Zachary Taylor 3ames Polk and Rutherford Hayes All successful dark horse candidates will we have a dark horse president continued from Page 18 delegation will very Likely find itself with a triply split personality trying to choose among senators Saltonstall an Lodge and speaker of the House mar tin All three of whom Are quite legitimate dark horses. One of the few re corded instances of a state s voting fora favorite son and seeing him booted Home the Winner occurred in the re publican convention of 1876. The candidacy of governor Ruther Ford b. Hayes of Ohio was not taken seriously in 1876, not even by the Ohio delegation who voted for him out of sheer loyalty. The leading contender was James g. Elaine who battled i conclusively with a pair of forgotten men by the names of Oliver 1. Morton and Benjamin h. Bristow. Hayes won out in the classic manner by letting the others kill themselves off. Blaine How Ever remained a Power in Republican politics and was nominated in 1884. Elaine s opponents accused him of skullduggery in connection with a rail Road land Grant and composed a Campaign Chan James g. Blaine James g. Blaine Continental liar from the state of  convention deadlock Between two powerful candidates in 1860 insured the nomination of the Man who was to be come in the eyes of most americans our greatest president. Abraham Lin cold was a dark horse although not Avery dark horse when the convention met. He was overshadowed by two other men William Seward and Salmon Chase. They were nominally the leaders of the Republican party. When the whig party disintegrated Seward Anchase were chief among those who gathered up the stray ends and formed the Republican party. They were its policy makers and each came to the convention expecting the nomination. Lincoln at the time was a Well respected Railroad lawyer. He had served in the House of representatives and had earned considerable reputation in the West As a capable debater when he campaigned for senator from Illinois against Stephen Douglas. But Lincoln political stature in 1860 was far less than Seward s or Chase  convention went the Way of Many others the two Strong men can celled each other Cut. Then when the party chiefs looked for someone upon whom All the dissident elements might agree Lincoln won the nomination. A Brief skimming of the pages of his tory shows that the Odds Are definitely against a dark horse s getting his party s nomination. Since the first party convention Iri 1840. About one fifth of the nominations of both parties went to. Dark horses. Even this figure is Only approximate since historians have difficulty in distinguishing the Fine shadings that separate the dark horse class from the even Money  who play the percentages might remember that Wendell Willkie in 1940was the Only successful dark horse since Harding in 1920. Taking All the Odds and the politicians into consideration this might the the year for the dark Republican horse. 1848 revolution continued from Page 10 even Lola asked her King to have the University removed from Munich. Louis compromised by ordering it closed fora year. This was too much for even the slow moving bavarian and in the resulting riots several people were killed the King was wounded and he and his lady were forced into  the banishment of Lola the bavarian cup was overflowing. This Walsall the freedoms they wanted and they grunted contentedly and enjoyed it. In Prussia whose gravitational attraction for the lesser states was almost irresistible there was virtual panic. Frederick William promised Freedom of the press and a constitutional govern ment. In a proclamation which he was later to renege the King demanded a revision in the German confederation to permit the formation of a National government with himself at the head. The evening of March 18, 1848, great crowd of workingmen students and unemployed gathered on Konig Strasse before William s Berlin Palace. They had come to demonstrate their approval of his proclamation and show that they intended he should follow his words with action. For two Days Barri Cades had been erected in the streets Oberlin and the King s guards were ready anxious even for someone to Knock the Chip off their collective shoulder. As the crowd pushed Forward and shouted for the King shots were fired in the Street. Against a background of smoke and flames from burning build Ings the fighting Between the people and the troops lasted All night. By morning 200 were dead. The next Day the King issued an apology. Meanwhile a Young student at the University of Bonn Carl Schurz was throwing himself into the popular struggle with All the enthusiasm of a 19-year-old who wrote sentimental novels and agitated for Reform. Schurz agitated too much and his Energy was rewarded by his being exiled from. Germany. He went to America where he became senator from Missouri 22 a  member adviser to president from Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt arid an honest politician if often impolitic in an Era of Gigantic political corruption. A Pedantic Young student t of history was in that year publishing slim Little pamphlet which he and his Collaborator called the communist manifesto. Karl Marx sneered that this Freedom for the prussians mean nothing More than an Extension of the Power of the bourgeoisie. Thoroughly unnerved by the up rising in Berlin Frederick William in called the Hamstrung prussian diet into session so that it might Frame a Constitution. The other German state Shad taken the bit in their Teeth and sent representatives to meet i Frank Furt. This was the famous Frankfurt parliament that met at St. Paul Schurch on May 18, 1848. The diet of the German confederation formed under the old Constitution the Constitution the people wanted changed was meeting simultaneously in Frank Furt. The Only embarrassment in the awkward juxtaposition of the two assemblies was Felt by the diet. The sent a conciliatory message to their Brothers holding the parliament Crosstown expressing their desire to co operate and then Slid quietly off the pages of history. The Frankfurt. Parliament was a expression of popular will and representatives had come from All the states of the confederation. Although they did represent approximately what the great mass of germans wanted the delegates were no unwashed mob of revolution Aries. The 552 who met in Frankfurt were professors lawyers Large land owners clergymen and merchants. The one representative of workingmen Amon them was a polish peasant from Silesia. They made up what was probably on of the most scholarly groups Ever assembled in one place for the purpose of writing legislation. That they were too much scholar and not enough politician was the key to their ultimate failure. A committee of 17, a Vor parliament pre parliament had been working on a draft of a Constitution and handed Stover to the delegates on june 18. Within ten Days a Constitution was accepted bythe delegates. They then spent the next six months in wrangling among them selves and finally announced they were for Freedom of person the press meet ing petition and Equality before Law for All. Having taken so Long to come this far they then went to work to construct a National  envisioned a temporary government while the German state in it final form waited to be created and offered the Post of Regent to Archduke John of Austria. In this they committed a double offence. They completely disillusioned the republicans who wanted no More of Royalty and they mortally insulted Prussia who had hoped for one of their own to be head of the state even if the Job was Only a temporary one. When the parliament got around to offering the Crown of hereditary emperor of the germans to Fred Erick William of Prussia that gentle Man would have none of it since the Back of the revolution had been Brokenly this time March 1849william saw no reason to accept the Crown under the conditions Laid Down by what he Felt was merely the mob. Besides he  surrender Prussia s position of pre Eminence in the confederation no yield an Inch of its territories. The Frankfurt parliament was  failure for the German people and As it happened for the world. In Stead of keeping fresh the Hopes for some sort of democracy the collapse of the parliament soured the German people on democracy All those who had worked and had hoped for the freedoms were effectively muzzled or like car Schurz in exile. The delegates the Ger mans Felt talked too much and did nothing and what they did was grossly inept. The people would wait a Little longer for the Union of Germany and would wait even longer to earn the freedoms that looked so close in March of 1848. Otto von Bismarck the unifier of Germany set the tone for future German political methods. Not by speeches and majorities Are the great questions of the time decided that waste mistake of 1848 and 1849but by blood and Iron he said  see the logical conclusions of the dictum of Bismarck one has Only Rostand at St. Paul s Church in Frankfurt in 1948 a. D. And look around him. Trouble in Nevada continued from Page 17 on. I have Only a Little while to rid before  it was an awkward parting. The Lack horse walked past him with her Quick Short stride and Keith stood watching until the girl turned Jill into a Trail that led off to the left a Short distance away. Obediently As she had done each morning the Mare walked toward a Cabin at the Point of the Ridge an she went without guidance because Alana Stevens had let the reins slip from her fingers and was gripping the Saddle Horn so tightly that her knuckle where White. Her stare was fixed on the Cabin ahead. It had a Steep roof and tightly boarded windows but the notable thin about it was that Cal Routier still in White dinner jacket and Black trousers sat on the Steps smoking and beside him watching Alana s approach with sullen dark eyes was gig Benson. With a Graceful unfolding of his Lea height Cal Routier got up from the Cabin Steps and came toward the  raised amused eyes. You look surprised Alana. Were you expecting someone else Alana s worried Blue eyes darted toward gig then Back to Routier. I was t expecting anyone at All she said in a thin voice. Routier went on.
