be entrusted to any one not an expert in
his line.
Moreover, the organization of the COM
mittee's forces has to be effected from the
ground up, as ii were, and lis entire
work must be accomplished in a little more
than four months. at the outside, every
thing has to be done under the most In
tense and wearing pressure.
Committee Headquarters.
Until 1896 campaign headquarters were
Invariably established in the city of New
York and according to an unwritten rule
they were almost always located In a four
story house on Fifth avenue. That year,
however, both parties broke away from the
Old order of things and housed their chief
headquarters in Chicago, though each
committee perforce maintained a branch
in the metropolis. In Chicago the forces
of both committees were quartered in
modern Office buildings; in New York the
Republicans took one whole floor in a
handsome white marble structure on Union
Square. while the Democrats occupied
rooms in a well known hotel not stones
throw away.
The headquarters of a national cam
paign committee must of necessity be al
most as extensive as a big railroads ex-
ecutive Office since room must be afforded
for half dozen sets of employees, besides
suites for the various committee officials.
In 1896 Chairmen Hanna and Jones were
provided with large airy rooms both in
New York and Chicago, but in 1892 II was
different Chairman Carter of the Repub-
licans being content with a hall bedroom
for an office, and Chairman Harrity of
the Democrats faring little better.
In a sense the press bureau" is next
in importance to the chairman's head
quarters, since through II the reporters
and correspondents are furnished with
such news as the committee wishes to
give out. 1t cannot be revealing a secret
40 say that national committee press bu-
reaus are sometimes managed about as
inefficently as possible. There have been
some exceptions TO this rule, but there is
hardly a political correspondent in the
business who cannot substantiate the
statement that as a general thing the
committe press bureau is the most unlike
ly place In the world to look for really
important news.
The Making of Documents.
This bureau. however, is only a small
part of the committees machinery for the
distribution of correct political gospel. The
bureaus relations are mainly with the tel
egraphic news associations the metropol-
itan papers and the special correspond

political news through the medium OF the
big patent inside publishing houses and
the concerns which supply plate matter
copy for the patents" and the plates
being furnished by an editorial staff en-
ployed especially for that purpose. Often
the pilates" and sometimes the patents
arc furnished TO the papers at The COM
mittee's expense. One year one OF the
great parties supplied between 1000 and
5000 weekly newspapers with virtually all
their political reading in this way
throughout the entire campaign, while
the other party supplied perhaps two
thirds as many.

Washington. May 1S.-In a burst
of confidence. following a long
day of devotion to the consideration of in
soluble puzzles in practical politics, in the
midst of the campaign of 1896. the Hon.
Marcus A. Hanna declared that of oil the
jobs he had ever tackled, the craftsmanship
of a National Campaign Committee was by
long odds the worst. Then after a pictur-
esque recital of some of the exasperating,
brain-racking experiences through which
he had recently passed, he made the I'M
qualified statement that no imaginable
consideration would induce him TO attempt
the management of a second presidential
campaign. Yet, there are plenty of indi-
dications that unless his health shall fail
.he will enter the campaign this year with
as much hearuness as he did four years
ago.
As to the trials and difficulties which
beset a national campaign committee
chairman, there is probably no man living
that has been through them VINO would
disagree with Mr.. Hanna. Leaving the
political work out altogether and consid-
ering it solely from the business point of
view, the conduct of a presidential cam
paign committee is an appalling PROPOSE
,tion especially of late years. 1t involves
the creation of an. executive organization
quite as elaborate and complicated as that
required to carry on The most extensive
of modern enterprises, the collection and
expenditure of a sum of money so large
to require seven figures for its express
sion, the selection and employment, di-
rectly and indirectly, of thousands OF
workers, the gathering and dissemination
of special information on a scale not less
extensive than that of a great Geographic
news association, and a hundred other
things besides, none of which can safely

SOME RUMORS.
Said That the Officers WerelIn--
terfered With in Their
Search.

Officers who have been interested in
the case have repeatedly stated that
they have been interfered with in the
prosecution of their inquiry by outside
influence, that witnesses have been tam
pered with and their lives made burden
some and that the greatest difficulties
have had to be surmounted to arrive
even so far as the investigation has
proceeded. Whether any of these al
legations will come out, even in a re-
mote sense, during the trial. cannot be
foretold. The state is saying as little
as the defense about the lines to be pur-
sued. And whether this alleged inter
ference was to cover up the alleged con-
nection of William Henderson with the
murder or to throw the officers off the
track, that would lead to the arrest and
conviction of the real criminals is an
other matter. The defense broadly hints
that there is conspiracy against Hen
derson, that he is innocent and that he
is being made the scapegoat for others.
That they will offer some proof on this
line is quite as probable as most things
that havn't happened.
The state has a witness, and perhaps
more than one, that will undertake to
get William Henderson in Greentown
on the night of the murder. 1t has a wit
ness that will say that Henderson and
three other strangers were in the viii
lage before the murder. This witness is
considered very important.
