In a letter from the secretary of state of Utah, it was certified that 14,112 of Turney's total vote came from that state.

The disappointing thing about the election was that only three ballots were counted for Turney in Macon County. Illinois cast 633 votes for the Decatur resident. An explanation of the large Utah vote was not given. This was especially surprising due to Turney's views the following year, when he organized the American Party. In February 1909, Turney and two other delegates held the first national convention of the party in Springfield.

Its platform stated, according to its founders, that the organization intended "to sweep the Republicans and the Democrats and the Mormons and the Catholics out of the United States into Japan, Canada, Australia or Switzerland, or some other equally inaccessible place" Turney, who was nominated again in 1912 by the United Christians, said the convention grown to 250 delegates representing seven states. Turney's name failed to get on the general election ballot because the party missed the filing deadline. Other activities of Turney included various writings. One of these was "The Mode of Baptism According to the Scriptures." His wife, Emma Virginia Oglesby Turney, died in 1937. Donald M.

As a candidate for the presidency of the United States on the United Christian ticket in 1908 and 1912, Turney was probably one of Decatur's widest-known citizens in his time Turney, a minister in the Methodist Church, was born in Shawneetown in 1848. He first lived at 1296 S. Webster St.

in Decatur, but at the time of his death in 1926, he lived at 1396 S. Hilton St. The presidential candidate came from a long line of famous Americans. His great-grandfather, Carter Braxton, was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was also related to Henry Clay, the famous pre-Civil War statesman.

Turney was nominated for the presidency on May 2, 1908, at the party's national convention in Rock Island. Four states were reportedly represented by 50 delegates, the majority being women. The popularity of the party among women was because of one of the principal planks in the platform woman suffrage. Although Decatur residents in 1908 didn't expect their fellow citizen to be elected president of the United States, they all enjoyed the campaign and had fun talking about Turney's chances. "Oh no, I don't expect Daniel Braxton Turney to be the next president of this country," his son NeiM9tAd prioea.

Turney advocated a reduction in salary of the president. There were apparently no sad hearts or statements conceding the election necessary in the Turney camp following the Nov. 3, 1908, vote It was two months before Turney's estimated vote could be calculated.
