This gives the campaign manager and the

The campaign manager Is that fine old
white WHISPERED exper, in Tammany ways
and means. Willis Holly There can be
no question as 10 Mr.. Holly's qualifications
as far a. a ripe experience is concerned.
Mr. Holly was fine lristy young buck
back in the days of the campaign OF James
Buchanan for the Presidency. Indeed, u
was In those sturdy days that he rowed

of Brooklyn These are great days for
Mr Holly He sits back In his swinging
chair and looks over the campaign head
Quarters and strokes his whiskers and looks

In Mr. Harrisons undergraduate days

The other day Mr.. Holly wrote a piece
about Mr. Harrison. and sent it out to the
newspapers. He said
Mr. Harrison has always been a Jeffer-
sonisn Democrat and student OF the tarif
and other national questions. and even be-
lore he was old enough TO vote was active

In his behalf
Tho piece pleased Mr.. Harrison a great
deal. Coming from the pen Of so thoroughly
grounded and venerable Democrat rs Mr..
Holly, tho certificate of true Jefersonian-
ism means great deal. Mr. Holly can
almost remember what Mr. jefferson loo ked
Ike MIR Harrison cannot. But Mr.. Holly
knows, and II Mr., Holly is willing to say
publicly that Mr.. Harrison has been a
]ehersonian Democrat all the twenty
light years Of his thoughtful young life
Nr Harrison Is sure it must be so. II must
not be forgotten that Mr. Harrison is justly
proud Of his descent from Thomas Jeffer-
-on, Mr., Harrison comes of the oldest
virginia stock 1t il likely that before
his campaign is over Mr.. Holly will permit
