What might happen in the next four years, however,! promises to be a matter of consi: erable speculation. The two men hailed as the pat- ron saints of the Democratic par- ty, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, openly designated their choice of “heir.” Theodore Roose- velt virtualjy dictated Republican selection of William H. Taft. James Madison, “timid little hus- band” of the famed Dolly Madi- son, put on pressure for James Monroe as his successor. Jefferson Over-Rode Protests Many members of Jefferson’s Republicen-Democratie party were opposed to Madison, Several Re- publican congressmen joined in suing a formal protest against selection as the party’s standard- bearer, but the prestige of the sage of Monticello easily prevailed, Jef- ferson also was said to have ar- ranged that Monroe follow Madi- son in the White House, and it was understood between the latter two that the Madison administration would exert all of its influence to perpetuate “the Virginia dynas- watt “plain people,” has been rated vy some historians as the most braz- en dictator of the White House succession. Besides naming Mart- in Van Buren cf New York as his heir apparent, “Old Hickory” was reported to have laid down a pro- gram of succession for 24 years— Jackson himself, 8 years; Van Burean, 8 years; and Thomas Benton, 8 years. Jackson Dynasty Died That report was never verified, however, and the Jackson “dynas- ty” lasted only 12 years. Van Buren failing of re-election, There had been considerable opposition to Van Buren’s first nomination and election, but Jackson’s extra- ordinary popularity with the elec- torate put him over. The next President to be re- elected was Abraham Lincoln, as- sassinated less than six weeks aft- er his seond inauguration. Wheth- er he would have indicated a pos- sible successor for post-war Re- publican leadership is unknown. Sensational revelations of graft and corruption, involving members! of the cabinet and congressional | leaders, brought disrepute to the second administration of war hero Ulysses S. Grant. The Republicans were split into three groups at the end of the terim, and President Grant made no overt effort to sig- nify his choice for the 1876 nom- ination. Panic Upset Cleveland Grover Cleveland ran into the 1893 b.:siness janic in his second term. The EBryan-free silver ele- ment, dominating the 1896 “cross of go'd” convention, repudiated Cleveland’s leadership of the Dem- ocratic party—particularly because of his rigid : dvocacy of the gold standard. William McKinley, first of the “front porch” campaigners, was assassinated six months after his second inauguration. He had evi- denced no preference for a suc- cessor. To the dismay of Mark Hanna and other old guardsmen, Vice President Theadore Roose- velt stepped up to the Presidency and was elected to that office in 1904.
