merchant for many years, but retired
from business some time ago. Mrs
Thompson was a daughter of Judge
Darte, of Wilkes-Barre. who had an
enviable reputation in the Civil war.
There Is one child living w. L.

family present were their grandson,
Fred Thompson; Judge Darte and Mrs.
Darte and sons Frank G. and Alfred

POLITICAL sPoTTING.
A Recent Development of Business
Enterprise.

S. II. Adams in Anslee's.
Political spotting is recent develop
ment, but it has become necessary in
the establishment of political cam
paigning as business enterprise in
volving millions OF dollars capital and
run of strictly scientific principles.
Every state chairman has at his COM
mand a corps of trusted workers"
Now. this term has a wide range of
meanings, varying in reputability. In
some cases, IL designates the men who
"use money where 1t viii do the most
good. in others, the men who look
after these disbursers to see that the
money is actually used where II will
do the most good TO the party and not
to the handler of il. But. as rule,
the "secret service" fund is distributed
only among those in whom the party
managers have the utmost confidence,
and the work Of the spoilers along this
line Is not very extensive.
TO this corps falls the task of guard
ing against fraud on the part of elec-
ton officers when election days comes.
They are supposed to be encyclope-
dias of information as to the spend
ing of money by the other side, and
to block off" in one way or another,
either by threats or counter persua-
sion, any attempts to corrupt the
men who register or count the votes.
