Organization requires not only ability,
but acquaintance, touch, sentiment and
force. Politics can not be obtained al
together from books--politics is gained
from men and experience. Put gosling
into politics and he will kill himself the
first move he makes. The first man he
elbows and touches he is done for. He
doesn't know men. He doesn't know the
tools of politics.
"What are the tools of politics, do you
ask? Well, you wouldn't ask shoe
maker to make a watch. You wouldn't
nut one into statecraft who is an infant,
would you? A man thus misplaced by
going into politics is what term 'gos-
ling.' politician must have knowledge
of men and things, and when he possesses
that knowledge he can answer the ques-
tiop, what are the tolls of politicsF
However, tools il not the best express
slon-'auxiliaries' is the word.
"Before man enters practical politics
he must obtain Information. The minute
man has an itching for information he
gets it if he seeks it. read Clay's and
Webster's speeches. Association counts
for a great deal, and one must mingle
with men. The men who have obtained
practical knowledge of politics from all
these sources are the most effective mem
bers in party organization. The party
organization is necessary to maintain
cohesion and to bring about results.
When you organize you execute. And the
organization of political party should
begin at the school district and 60 up. 1t
should be as thorough as the organiza-
| ton in a great business house"
"Out of organization is evolved great
| political leader, or, perhaps, only politi-
cal boss. Where do you draw the line of
distinction between leadership and boss
ism, Mr.. Filley?"
"One man is nothing in politics." re-
piled Mr.. Filley, as he turned in his swivel
chair and swept great arc with his right
arm. "a man without a following, or
without the confidence of his party Is no.
body. A man can't lead unless he has
something to lead. A man can not set
himself up as leader-anybody who at
tempts to do it makes mistake. man
who leads is follower-he must follow
the opinion of his party, or he can't lead.
The perfection Of organization is to
gather the sentiment of the majority and
harmonic it and utilize it, and to express
through the majority what it demands
and is satisfied with. Then 1t is not the
big l, after all, but it is the will of the
ma orty-the masses. There is no such

A DEMOCRATIC TRUMP GARD.

That was a trump card that Bland,
Jones, of Arkansas, and other Democratic
party leaders played at Washington the
other day when they issued, in behalf Of
true Democracy, the silver manifesto.
1t anticipated the action of the bimetallic
league SO clearly that it will make silver
a straight issua in the Democratic party
ranks and will serve to hold many good
man in the party, to fight there for sill
ver's cause, who might otherwise felt in
clined to desert it's ranks and unite with
the proposed silver party. We believe
with these Democratic silver men that
the party organized can very readily be
controlled by the silver wing in the next
nationalsconvention. The question has
reached that point now where to be a
good Democrat one must be friend to
the white metal, and we venture to sur
mise that, should the goldites control in
the next Democratic national convention,
there will be walk-out that will mark
an epoch in the political history of the
nation.
1t requires no sort of guess work to
see that the silver men in the Democratic
party are now thoroughly aroused.
While in some respects it is to be re-
GREETED that the American bimetallic
league has seen fit to call for the organ1-
cation of new party devoted solely to
the cause of silver, and while the great
cause might have been inaugurated as 9
