He will then come to the national COM
speech circulated as one OF the committees
documents. This request is nearly always
acceded TO to please the member.
II IS not customary TO pay speakers for
their services in the campaign. 1t is
usual, however, to pay their ex peDses, and
IN some special cases public men of sutTi-
Gent Importance to be paid are given fees
where they cannot afford to leave their
business without payment. But in nearly
every instance the payment becomes
known and it has a bad effect. A man
who talks for his party because he is paid
TO do IL occupies simply the position of a
special pleader. and his remarks have no
influence if the fact of such employment
is known.
The campaign of this year will be prac-
tically fought upon the same lines as the
one of four years ago. As each year shows
an increase in the amount of money en-
ployed it is estimated now that a million
of dollars will be needed by each side for
campaign purposes. The battle this year
win be largely between two business or
CARNATIONS represented by the two COM
mittees. 1t is probable that the spirit of
the Indiana management which was SO
direct and successful in Minneapolis will
control the Republican national commit
tee, even with MIR. Carter of Montaua as
chairman 1t will be remem bered that
General Michener who had charge of the
Indiana delegation, has often been men-
toned in connection with the coming cam
paign. He was the directing spirit of the
whole Republican campaign at MiuneapO-
lis. General Kitchener will be the presi-
dents representative in the coming con-
test.
There is this much to be said for the In
diana politicians on both sides. They have
great deal more courage, more energy
and force of character than the average Of
The politicians of any OF the eastern ststes.
They take an almost furious interest in
politics during presidential years. The
men of that state are hardy, physical
types. They like campaigning They will
never acknowledge defeat until the cleo
ton is over and the votes are counted I
went through the election campaign in that
state in 1854. and do not remember ever
having witnessed such scenes of enthusi-
asm on both sides. They are very hard
fighters and are extremely practical. A
compaign conducted Under Indiana man
agement WILL therefore, be lacking in moth
ing in the direction of force and vigor.
W. C. wmTNEY's INFLUENCE.
Upon the other SIDE whoever may be
chairman OF the committee, the directing
mind viii be that OF w. c. Whitney. Mr.
whitney is man OF great reserve power,
possessed Of thorough knowledge of the
world, and one Of the most adroit of polit-
ical managers. He knows the value of
coaxing instead OF driving. He has I'M
limited resources ut his command, and so
there is no reason TO suppose that the Dem
0crats will be any less provided with
money than the Republicans. Thus it may
be accepted in advance that it is to be u
fight OF western management, with the
president as directing force behind it,
against eastern management, with MIR.
Whitney at the helm. 1t will be war of
q Republican million against Democratic
million.
The money raised by the national COM
mittees does not represent ali the moneys
employed in presidential campaign The
various state committee raise money but
nothing like the amounts collected by the
national committees. 1t is estimated, how
ever, that there is about quarter as much
raised by them. The state committees are
always held up to do all that they can, and
in the richer states the national committee
nearly always refuses to come to the relief
of state organizations unless there Is an
absolute necessity:
The funds collected by the national COM
mittees are dlsbursed to great degree on
hnror There can be no public accounting
