essary expenses. This is particularly
true OF Messrs, Dancy, Pinchbaek. and
Anderson who spoke to more people,
who made more speeches and were
more in demand, as l am advised by
the chairman Of the committee on
speakers, than any others of the col
ored speakers employed by the state
and national committees. Mr.. Dancy
and Gov. Pinchbaok are men of national
repute and tits but natural that the peo
pie would desire to see and hear them
The Governor spoke several times at
Business Mems Republican club in
lower Broadway, and was given mum
ber of splendid assignments in the city
of New York and up the state,
There is no disputing the fact that
Mr. Charles w. Anderson is one Of the
most popular and best liked young re
publicans in the state of New York,
white or black. He is q star orator,
and that can not be rubbed out There
were requests for him, Mr. Gleason of
the Sta'e Committee tells me, from
nearly every county in the state - more
really than six of him could have filled
in the time prescribed, and wherever
he spoke in the state he drew those who
admire good speaking Particularly was
this true of his work IN the western
part OF the state when he accompanied
Governor Roosevelt and spoke at almost
every station where the train stopped.
At Binghsmpton, Rochester, Buffalo,
Penn Yan, and POrtchester he was fiat.
tered with large and appreciate audien.
ces the greater proportion of which
were white persons. To illustrate his
popularity with 1.-THE Lords anointed"
up the State, [ met Mr. Winchester
of Penn Yam, in the office of the com
missioner of Agriculture shortly after
Mr. Anderson had spoken IN the opera
house at that place who told me that
Mr. Anderson had made one Of the most
telling speeches to which he had ever
listened and added: I'VE think great
deal OF that Young man up in western
New York. We are proud of him."
Why not, he is an able, eloquent,
sensible and digniied gentleman. Sen.
ator Scott of the Nation al Committee
who has very keen and penetrating
gaze, in thanking Mr.. Anderson for his
valuable services as speaker used
these words: II take pleasure in ex.
tending to you Mr.. Anderson the thanks
OF the committee for the good work you
have done for the grand old party in
upholding the principles of good gov.
eminent, sound money and respect for

sacrifice that you have made of both
your time and money 1t gives me addi'

on this committee Now this is praise
from Sir Hubert and ifs counts.
s'The character of the person who
commands you is always to be consid'
cred before you set value on his es.
TEEN.
Senator Scott is a hard headed, prac
tiLal, business man, keen, ssgacious,
critical gentleman who doesn't waste
words on any man; therefore his opin'
ion Of the services of Mr. Anderson are
the more valuable, especially in view
OF the fact that it was impromptu and
unsolicited.
There is something in being q pro-
ducer, in playing the game Of politics,
and there is great deal more in being
a consumer, but the man who delights
in being consumer only, cannot be
expected to derive as much benefit for
party service as the producers.
Besides giving his personal checks to
the national and stats committees for
good round sum to help pay off the
patriotic consumers Mr. Anderson
personally raised several thousands of
dollars for campaign purposes which
he turned over to the committee.
This kind of services is always desirs-
