newspapers published in foreign tongues,
and attend to thousand other unconsid-
cred trifles. When the campaign was over
this man, whose work had averaged from
fourteen to sixteen hours day, felt as
though he had Just awakened from a hor-
rible aud seemingly endless nightmare. 1t
woIld require columns to describe the work
Of such a committee attache as this one.
Onebranch of his work would undoubtedly
seem very peculiar to an outsider.
This had to do with the newspapers pub
lished in foreign tongues, and certain class
Journals Many American-born readers are
not aware that there are some hundreds OF
newspapers printed in the United States

ant and dignified in America.
Most OF the iittle-known European tongues
are very we'll represented in New York by
newspapers. and the man speak of had to
do with the newspapers printed In th0selan-

candidate. Agooddeal ofthe desired help
was asextended by both committees hat year,
but it was in the nature o standing orders
for certain number Of copies OF each ISSUE
the orders ranging from 5000 to 10000
papers. Some OF the journals were con-
Quoted by strictly honest men. but tie man
In question soon found that the publishers
OF some others were likely to forget to print
the extra copies unless their pressrComs
were regularly inspected.
He therefore had to organize u small
staff OF inspectors, who made it point
10 be present IN the pressruofns whenever
the editions were printed, to count tie
copies published. and to sec tha they were
properly deposited in the postoffice or
otherwise effectively distributed. This,
of Course, added to the general Joy, for tie
inspectors were Constantly reporting viO-
lations of contract, and in several instances
were obliged to remain up all night in order
TO accommodate themselves to alleged ext
gencies, which made II necessary TO print
small weekly papers, heretofore always
printed In the daytime, at midnight's
witciing hour-perhaps because the cub
fishers thought the inspectors would not
care to be present at that time.
EXPENSES AND OTHERMATTERs.
The expenses Of a national executive
committee vary as much as the method
Of conducting them. One committee,
which did its work only few years ago,
Is said to have used up 81 ,9OO, GOO In its
existence Of less than three months, but
81 SOC, GOO is probably nearer the aver
age. Besides the ways OF using money
of which I have already spoken, there
are hundred other avenues for its es-
cape. Nearly every committee establishes
several secret bureaus, which are located
away frDm the headquarters themselves.
There are bureaus for the workingnep,
bureaus for the Swe1es and voters Of
the liquor dealers. whose favor Is generaily
courted By both parties. 'Curiously enough,
more than one committee has maintained
Temperance bureau contemporaneously
with the liquor dealers' bufeau.
