Bailey i Son BANKERS OLDEST STRONGEST Constitution Has Long Been Issue Republicans 'and Democrats Switch Sides As Defenders of Fundamental Law. N." New York, Aug. 17.—Herbert Hoov er’s declamaton on the Constitution at Chicago finds modified analogies in major party platforms during the last hundred years. Most ftriking of the historical com-j garisons bearing on Constitution is- •ues is that of 103 years ago when a national Republican platform commit tee drew and quartered Andrew Jack- son tor what it termed a flaunting of institutional authority. Curiously, too, that platform —written by “na tional Republicans,” unconnected .with the p^rty bom in 1856—was the first ever devised by a political party in the United States; and It referred spe cifically to the pow^ of the supreme court. / The party clajiiied President Jack- son had steered po course that would give as8itran9^ he would ’‘defend and support thise great prin<^plee of American j^oticy and the Constitution; but, on the contrary, has convinced us that hi will abandon th^m whenever the purposes of party require it.” ‘ Questions of constitutional mandate badgej«d party platform makers up to the War Between the States while slavery issue created a growing schi between North and South. Democrat platforms evinced annoyance over in jection of question, but the first convention ot present Republics^n party tartly argued the Constitution permitted congress to forbid slavery in the territories. This referred to Kansas^ sweating out her destiny amid thd ratlJe of musketry. Then c^e ^e hol9cau8t of .war. OFFICE SUPPLIED THOSE SMALL.
