Young Mr.. George is n second edition OF ms
father. He has imbibed all his fathers ideas
and principles, and he has In addition all the
vigor that belongs to youth and that his father
did not have. Young Mr.. George was asso-
ciated with his father for the last thirteen
years. He was his fathers assistant. inc
father seldom went anywhere unless accom-
panied by the son. In the tours that he mado
around the country young Mr.. George WINS his
constant companion. Even during the last
campaign, when Mr.. George was doing news
paper work, the young man who has been NOM
mated TO take his place on tho true Bryan
Chicago Democracy ticket was always with
him.
In his travels the young man, OF course, met
the men that his father met. He came to know
them as well as his father knew them. He was
a straightforward, homes spoken young man,
and he made friendships quite as quickly as
his father, so that it can be said truly that his
friends were his fathers friends, and his fathers
friends were all his friends. Young Mr..

father when travelling. but in his fathers lit
erary work he was OF valuable assistance as
well. The father trusted the son 80 that no
made him editor Of his publications. and az
such editor young Mr.. George was thrown into
contact with fully as many people as was his
father in his most active days.
From the opening OF the present campaign
young Mr.. George was his almost constant
companion. He accompanied him on many OF
his speaking tours and he himself addressed
the crowds, 30 that he got acquainted with the
voters, and they got acquainted with him-as
we'll acquainted with him as they were with his
father. They liked him because Of his manner
| of speech. lie was frank and open and won
friends wherever he went.
When he was not accompanying his father on
his spccch.making tours, young Mr.. George spent
most Of his time at the headquarters Of the
party at the Union Square Hotel, and there, as
his fathers representatives, he met the leaders
and the men who came to visit the hcadquar-
tiers. As his fathers close friend, it fell to his
| lot to do many favors for the people who called
to see Mr.. George. He always did them. His
manner was always cordial. No mar for whom
he did anything was made to feel that he had
| asked any more than II was his right to get.
All this made young Mr.. George the most pop
ular person connected with the headquarters
| OF the Democracy Of Thomas Jefferson.
Henry George depended largely on his son
for many OF the things II was necessary to do.
He had the highest respect for the young mans
opinions and for his ability. He often asked
advice and nearly always when it came from
the young man he followed that advice.
Young Mr.. George is 81 years old. He is
anything but a callow youth. Those persons
who know him best say that he has a remark
ably well. developed mind and that as the sue
cessor OF his father on the ticket Of the Jeffer-
sonian Democracy no is the most dangerous
man that could have been named. The eN
pericnced campaigners and politicians on
the campaign committee of the Jeffersonian
Democracy say they felt that this was SO when
they named him.
1t was not sentiment that led then to nomi-
nate him. They asserted and they insist still
that their fight has been from the start Il fight
for principle and not for men; that Mr.. George
was chosen in the first place against his pro-
| tests, because he was the most available OF the
candidates for nomination who stood for the
principles Of Organism and the Chicago plat
form. They say that young Mr.. George. be-
