a. J. CLARKE. q. Il. MERILIAAT.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
These men, working year after year iii
one field. soon become specialists. They
know every trick and turn of govern
mental affairs.
For instance, there is Mr.. A. ]. Clarke,
of the Associated Press. For a dozen
years his have been the eyes and ears
through which millions of readers all
over the world have seen and heard
what was going on in the treasury, war,
state, navy and other departments, and
at the executive mansion. He has had
the friendship of every president since
he took the assignment, and at the same
time has earned the praise of his supe-
riors. He could not have done this
without extraordinary tact and rare
good judgment What is here said of
Mr.. Clarke, who has just returned from
the Pacific coast tour as a guest of the
president, is true of others. Jerome j
WILDER, bright newspaper man from
Denver, is specialist in the interior and
postoffice departments and the census
Office.
G. II. Merillat, who came into the AS
sociated Press service few years ago as
an Office boy, is now one of the most
efficient men on the staff. Readers who
want to see some of his work should look
at the supreme court reports, which
have been 80 admirable and accurate as
to elicit praise from Chief Justice Fuller
and one or two of his associates-note-

UNITED PRESS.
worthy feats in view of the fact that no
scribe dare use pencil and paper in the
presence of the august court.
Two other types of the department
specialist are John Boyle and Richard
Oulahan, of the United Press. Prob
ably Boyle could take Secretary Fosters
desk and manage the affairs of the treas
ury department, or make a success in
any other cabinet post in the down town
departments, so familiar is he with the
methods and the men, the history and
traditions of Uncle Sans somewhat
complex executive organization. Dick
Oulahan, one of the younger newspaper
men, knows every nook and Granny of
the big Capitol, and almost all the men.
of whatever station or Importance who
infest it.
Mr.. Oulahau has charge of the Capitol
for the United Press and E. M. Hood for
the Associated Press. This is a position
requiring ability, Judgment, discretion.
There are 400 statesmen and countless
measures to watch. A score of COM
mittees, perhaps, meet in one day, with
their deliberations more or less secret.
The proceedings of the two houses must
be carefully watched, as at the first sign
of ian incident" or sensation all the re-
sources of the staff must be employed
without the loss of a seconds time, in re-
porting it.
So important is the work at the Capitol
that the Associated Press keeps there a
half dozen men. Hood, the chief, came
into the service as messenger boy, and
was appointed to this post on the resig.
nation of A. j. Halford-now a newspa.
per publisher in Youngstown, O.-a few
months ago. Halford had as firm a grip
on the affairs of the big building as any
man could have, but his successor does
not suffer by comparison. Hood excels
