There is no doubt that many schemes
are frustrated in every election on
both sides by the activity OF, this SER

This species Of service is continually
in demand to keep headquarters in
formed as to the progress and peril
nence of various budding party organ
izations. For instance, word is re-
ceived that the Intercollegiate Ham
mer Throwers' Mckinley and Roose-
welt Marching club has organized with
a membership of fifty, and would be
glad of "a little financial aid toward
furnishing their club rooms. Now, all
these organizations are promoted by
professional organizers, who do not re
gard virtue as its own reward, at
least in political sense, but hope for
something more tangible. This they
get il their labors are worth votes to
the party. AS soon as the notification
Is received, IA spotter Is quietly sent
out from headquarters to rubber
around the locality and find out
whether the new club has an exist
ence otherwise than on paper. Another
matter wherein the political spoilers
judgment is of value to headquarters
Is that of campaign oratory.
Scores of spellbnders are sent out
in every lively campaign to all parts
of the state. Each man has outlined
his speeches, and had them censored
by the powers that be, for the man
ayers don't want any "Burchardism,"
to crop out and spoil their campaign.
Lest the spellbinder should be a traitor
in disguise, or have ambitions To
launch out into unauthorized by-paths
OF eloquence, a trusted worker is
set on his trail to make a report on
his speeches. This report also includes
an estimate of the spellbinder's effect
