The reader may fitly supplement his general study of civil government by the little book of E.P. Dole, Talks about Law: a Popular Statement of What our Law is and How it is to be Administered, Boston, 1887. In connection with the political history, Stanwood's History of Presidential Elections, 2d ed., Boston, 1888, will be found useful. See also Lawton's American Caucus System, N.Y., 1885.
* The Socialist vote is stated differently by McKee, "National Conventions and Platforms." The above figures, to 1912, are taken from Stanwood's "History of the Presidency," and for 1912 and 1916 from the "World Almanac." In the meantime, the influence of the Socialist labor vote in particular localities vastly increased.
The varying result of the struggle in different cases would seem to indicate that it is moral fibre which nature respects and submits to, rather than any acquired advantages. In Jacob Stanwood's case there was no such test applied, for there was absolutely no struggle. He would have found it much easier to send a bullet through his brain than to put that organ to any violent exertion.
E. D. Fite's The Campaign of 1860 is valuable, although Rhode's account of the campaign equals Fite's; and E. Stanwood's A History of the Presidency gives the platforms and the votes of the parties for each national election.
But I think you are right about it. And, besides, do you like bronze, Laura?" "I like marble a great, great deal best. There is a bronze statue of Fortune, and a Venus, at Harris & Stanwood's, that are called 'so beautiful! and I wouldn't have them in my house." Here was an extinguisher. Laura didn't like bronze. And Laura was to be in my house, whether bronzes were or not.
She was not long in discovering that he was extremely poor, and she became aware in some indefinable wise that he held existence very cheap. Had her penetration been guided by a form of experience which she happily lacked, she might have suspected still another factor in the situation which had an unacknowledged influence upon Stanwood's attitude.
Stanwood's clothing and other belongings lay scattered upon the floor. She had never before seen his room disordered. Well! he was ill, and here she was to take care of him. He was not talking so fast now, but what he said was even more incoherent. The light and the presence of another person in the room seemed to confuse and trouble him. She took his hand and felt the pulse.
So they jogged and rattled over to Cameron City, where Elizabeth had made the acquisition, not only of a saddle-horse, but of two or three most interesting new acquaintances. "I do like the people so much, papa," she declared as they drove out of town, having left the new horse to be shod. "You don't mind their calling you 'Jake Stanwood's gal'?" "No, indeed! I think it's perfectly lovely!"
William McDonald's The Jacksonian Democracy , in the American Nation series, is an excellent general survey, while E. Stanwood's American Tariff Controversies is the best account of the tariff disputes.
At Cameron City, again, no longed-for, familiar face had appeared among the loungers at the station, and the situation and her part in it seemed most uncomfortable. When, however, she had made known her identity, and word was passed that this was "Jake Stanwood's gal," there were prompt offers of help, and she had soon secured the services of Cy Willows and his "team."
