Young Fremont was looked on to build up the family fortunes and to follow in his father’s footsteps as a | brilllant educator. | Instead, he succeeded at none of the various chances that came to him. He was kicked out of Charleston College in disgrace. He tried his hand as @ private tutor and as a teacher fn night school. But he was undeniably @ - | failure, Then, in a faint hope of bettering himself, he went on a two-year cruise in the United States warship Natchez as a teacher of mathematics. When he got back he managed to get a post as mathematics professor tn ) |the navy, But he did not hold it jong. And he became a railroad engineer on a@ line between Charleston and Augusta, Ga. . None of these things lifted him much above the dead level of failure. But, soon afterward, he went to work for a surveying party sent to map out @ railroad route from Charleston to Cincinnati. {Tee Betting And this job gave him his taste for exploring—a taste | 1a Career, that was one day to win him his title of “Pathfinder.” | Oren His real career was opening before him, although, probably, he did not know it. Then came employment from the Government in surveying the land between the upper waters of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. And, in 1841, while he was still eur- veying for the Government, he eloped with ‘the sixteen-year-old daughter of United States-Senator Benton, After that his father-in-law’s influence » |helped “the Pathfinder” in his long climb to success, But by this fime | Fremont no longer needed help to prevent him from lapsing back Into failure. Fremont went on exploring and surveying the wilderness of the Far West. His labors during these years are part of our country’s great history, When the Mexican War began Fremont co-operated with Commo- dore Stockton in conquering tho Mexican province of California for the United States. This he did under the very nose of England, who was supposed to have covetous eyes on the rich province. Tremont, during this time, showed a tendency to obey no orders except jhis own, For such disobedience he was arrested and sent to Washington in disgrace There he was ignominiously sentenced to dismissal from the army, And again failure seemed about to end his career. But the fame of his former services, along with Senator Benton's in’ fluence, came to the rescue, And the Government once more employed him. This time he was sent to carry out a scheme he had long tried to make the country adopt—a scheme to lay out a route for a transcontinental |railroad. During this expedition he underwent terrible hardships and dangers, But it was crowned by glittering quecess. By this time the heroic Fremont's name was on every tongue. He was one of the first two United States Senators from California. Then, in 1856, he became the first Presidential candidate ever whe Patheiet put in the field by the newly formed Republican party | Sussess, He was beaten by Buchanan, but polled a tremendous Next he served as a major general ir nas popular v the Civil War, where he fought with distinction. After | the war he continued to serve his country in one high office after another | He died in 1890—living long enough to see a mighty civilization spring up in the trackless Western wilderness whose “Pathfinder” he had been. candidate for Mayor this year to beat the Fusion ticket. No matter how eminent and respectable his qualifications, window dressing alone will not lure independent voters into the Hall, so long _ as the present party management continues. | ‘The principal opponent to Democratic organization success is, ‘not Mayor Mitchel but “Boss” Murphy. The administration in Tammany Hall will have to be changed before the administration in City Hall can be changed. | Mitchel beat McCall 125,000 votes in 1913, and because Fusion) | | isin office it has, theoretically, a following of 50,000 more votes. Yet im the strategy of political campaigning, ‘Tammany on the aggressive | has greater opportunity to-day than it had formerly on the defensive. | But it is in poor form for an advance on an intrenched foe. Its ranks | are thin, its supplies deficient, its transport broken down, its organ-| dation hollow and its leadership worse than incompetent. | Tammany is in condition similar to Russia under the old auto-| _ Bratic regime. Mr. Murphy, shake hands with Mr. Romanoff, who will tell you how it happened. . ‘There is nothing attractive or promising in the present Tammany Peadership to recruit new men to fill the gaps in ranks, so painfully t. There is nothing about Murphy dnd the fossilized crew ‘around him to attract the 100,000 independent votes that will have to _ be changed this year. Between Mitchel and Murphy there can be but one choice, even to good friends of the organization. | Unless Tammany can shake off the incubus of thick necks and thin brains, and get in some new blood and new ideas, the days of Manhattan domination of New York’s Democracy will soon pass. Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn are outgrowing little old New York of| the Tiger’s fat days. | One of the most difficult things in both business and politics is to make an autocratic executive realize that he has outlived usefulness to his own organization and become a drag. | Why not make a graceful exit amid applause, Mr. Murphy, and| give Tammany a chance to win?
