elements of usefulness which must neces-
aarily impair the effectiveness of his work
AS has been said attention to minute de-
tails is the most essential part of any am
paign. At the headquarters is where these
details are laid out, or encountered, for
they can not all be laid out or planned;
they arise incidentally and irregularly and
can only be dealt with as occasion offers-
They come with the unfolding of larger
plans. 1t is because of this and because
of the conscientious study which they de-
mand that makes a systematic and thor
ough organization necessary. II the cur
tain of one of these city campaign head
quarters could be drawn aside and the con-
tents revealed in tangible form, one would
see an array of myriads Of details that
would tend to brighten or least dishearten
the ordinary individual.
No one word sentence could describe the
modus operandi Of a city campaign. A
single definition, which however is but an
abstraction after all. might be found in the
one word, machine" for a political or
ganization. the modus operandi that pro-
pels a city campaign, is nothing but q
machine. Yet this machine obviously IL
varied and complex, composed of numerous
parts, so that after all 1t will have to DO
taken apart to see what II is made OF.
Naturally enough it would be futile to
attempt to run a city campaign without
money. City campaigns in that relation,
at least, are true to human nature. 1t may
as we'll be stated right here that no city
campaign in omaha is being run nor is an

without some cash. The raising Of these
funds devolves upon the manager OF the
campaign and his large corps of assistants.

equal, success Is pretty we'll assured. The
men who are managing the various cam
paigns in this struggle are those who have
had previous experience In such matters,
that is in most cases, and are regarded as
especially adapted . for the work. Each
ticket has it's executive and central COM
mittee on which the burden Of the cam
paign falls and of course each, save the
socialists, who work entirely through their
committee organization as a whole, has
its chairman or in other words its IMAM
ager." This man must be an engineer. He
must know everything that is to be known
about his and his rivals AFFAIRS. He stands
on dangerous ground. He may either run
his old ship aground or he may bring it
safely to port with flying colors; of course
with incidental conditions against him he
may come out blameless in either event.
The respective chairman in this campaign
are: Republicans, Robert Cowell; indie
pendent republican, T.. s. Hayward; demo-
cratic, William c. Bullard; p%opulist, Mar
tin Langdon. The socialist party, as has
been said, works through its committee en-
tirely, having no chairman except as he
is elected from night to night at the meet
ings held throughout the campaign. This
is In conformity with a fundamental prin-
ciple Of the socialist party.
The seats of war in this as In other
campaigns are at the various headquarters
which each party has. These headquarters
are about as busy centers as can we'll be
found. They resemble a bee hive in the
stormiest season of the campaign. From
them must radiate all the potent influences
for the veal Of their tickets. In them plans.
plots and schemes, d~eep-hidden and mys-
~terious, are laid and executed. To them
each day the respective workers go for

primaries or that period of preliminary
diminishing preceding the primaries. In
the present campaign the part played by
the primary elections, especially in the case
of the republicans, was most essential. AT
the primary elections the voters In every
ward in the city select the men who are to
represent them as delegates In the conven-
tion which dominates the respective tickets.
In the case Of the republican party the
recent primary election was one of the very
hercest ever known In this city. Every
inch of ground had been contested by the
contending factions for a long time prior
to April 10, when the primaries were held.
Lines were drawn to their highest tension.
No stone was left unturned by either side
that promised the least particle of as
sistance. This was a typical American prl-
mary election In this respect; 1t presented
a splendid example Of that most OF all dem
ocratic functions In our government, where
every man is on an equal footing, all en-
abled to exert their last resource for the
success Of their side.
And then the campaign proper begins.
Each ticket, each set Of nominees is looked
after by a separate management and each
campaign conducted just as the affairs OF
any ordinary business concern are con-
Quoted. On the management OF these cam
paigns finally depends the success Of the
tickets. Diplomacy, system, strategy, ex-
perienee, knowledge of men and how to
handle them. money, grit. vim and all the
essentials Of a successful organizer and
manager, not the least, but probably the
most important Of all is painstaking atten-
tion to minuest details. are needed and
must be most skillfully combined in order
to -. No victory is usually possible with
out a mOdus operandi comprising these
elements. But where they are nicely con-

Of every successful campaign manager. A
political campaign probably finds its model
more readily in municipal election than 1t
does In a county, state or national night.

Is In a general sense tina same whether II
be city, county, state or national, but for
minor details, little intricacies, all the
compound and complex workings of a po-
litical c~ontest-thase things which form the
vital elements OF such an afair-the city
campaign presents a more vivid and vi
vaeious example than any of the others.
For after all It Is attention to details that
counts.
Omaha is Just now In the midst OF a
typical city campaign, commonly, though
enormously called a city election for weeks
prior TO the actual polling OF votes. All
the common elements and many OF the I'M
common ones that go to make up the av-
erage city campaign are to be found In OK

modus operandi in It's most perfect order
is in full operation and as a result a very
interesting struggle Is being waged. 1t is
so Interesting as to preclude tangible
grounds on which to base a prediction OF
the outcome with even the usual degree

GRABBED LIVE WIRE.
VI. WiIensIty Was Knocked Several
Feet by Electricity.

VI. WiIensI<y Was Knocked Several
Feet by Electricity.
Knocked several feet by coming in
contact with a live wire was the ex-
perience of NJ. Wfensky early yester-
day afternoon near the corner OF
Broughton and Drayton streets. Mr..
Wilensky received a severe shock and
was badly frightened.
Wires were being run from the sa-
loon of r. Elsnger, on the corner
next to Mr. Wiensky's place of BUSH
ness, to the bowling alley across
Broughton street. one of the wires
was stretched across the sidewalk
when Mr.. Wilensky started to pass. He
did not notice that the wire was rest
ing on one of the trolley wires of the
Savannah Electric Company and at
tempted to brush it aside.
AS his hand came in contact with
the live wire he was given a shock
that caused him to cry out with pain.
and at the same time to jump some
little distance from the sidewalk Mr..
Wilensky afterwards said that he had
been knocked ten feet. The electric
current and the surprise that was oc-
casioned by its discovery, completely
unnerVed the shoe man. and he was
very much exercised. The incident at
tracted quite a crowd and it was at
first thought that Mr.. Wilensky had
been badly burned. The shock, how
ever, was not of sufficient consequence
to keep him from his office.

FOR ENTICING NEGROES AWAY.
d. NJ. Moore Arrested for Violating
Emigrant LAW.

B. NJ. Moore, formerly employed by
Wadley Bros, saw mill men, was ar
rested yesterday by Constable Con-
stantine upon warrant sworn out in
Justice Jones' court by the firm, charg-
ing him with a misdemeanor by in
ducing negroes to leave the state with
out first being licensed as an emigrant
agent.
1t appears that Moore, who had been
employed by Wadley Bros. at their
mill, fourteen miles from Savannah,
had resigned to accept another posi-
ton with a mill firm near Palatka,
Fla. He had been asked to bring a
number of negro laborers with him,
and had secured six or eight men, en-
ployes of Wadley Bros, to go. He had
them at the depot, ready to leave for
Florida when the warrant was served
upon him. He at once went before JUS
tice Jones and gave bond for his APP
pearance for an examination, after
which he returned to the depot and
sent the men back to their former place
of work
Mr.. Moore said that he had not
thought of violating the law. He had
been asked to bring some men with
him. and did not know he was doing
wrong in securing them. The case
against him will probably Ee dropped
now that the negroes have been return
ed to their former employment.

City-Lnw Governing the Taking
of "A Census.
The possibility of a census of the
school children being taken this year
by the State Board of Education is
one of more than usual interest to Sa-
vannah, as it is almost certain to re-
suit in the schools of Chatham county
receiving a larger appropriation than
they receive now.
The school population of Chatham
county at the last census, that of 1898,
was Il ,20S; in 1898 it was 1920, and
1883, 1886, showing that the school
population has been growing at about
the rate of liz per cent, while that
of the state as whole has been grow
ing at the rate of per cent. This
showing should assure to Savannah an
increased appropriation of about S12
per cent. on the amount now received,
$4O,152, or in round figures, s1,400 a
year.
The cost of taking the census would
cut into this appropriation for the first
year, but to no very appreciable eX
tent as the cost OF taking the last

by Mr.. H. A. Goette in the spring of
1898, chiefly in April. the last returns
being made about May IA. The charge
for the work was 3 cents a name for
the city, and 8 cents name for the
county.
Should the census be taken this year,
and the probabilities are that it will
be, Supt. Ashmore faVors the spring
for the work, because so soon as the
schools close many of the pupils leave
the city for the summer resorts, and
consequently might not be counted in
if the census be taken later in the sea-
son.
Because of the widespread interest
of the subject the state law governing
the enumeration of school children is
given, as follows:
That it shall be the duty of the
County and City Boards of Education
to cause an enumeration of the chill
dred between 6 and Is years of age to
be made under instructions from the
State School Commissioner in the year
1888, and every ten years thereafter, as
hereinafter prescribed.
In the year 1898 and every ten years
thereafter it shall be the duty of the
State Board of Education, in the early
part of the year, to have an estimate
made from the last census taken by
the authorities of the United States of
the number of children of school age
in each county of the state, and from
the evidence thus obtained, or from
other evidence of any kind, the said
board shall become satisfied that a
new enumeration of the school popu-
laiion ought to be taken for any coun-
ty or counties or for any town or city,
or the entire state, it shall be their
duty TO order the said enumeration to
be taken accordingly"

That the plan Of advertising Savan-

STABLEMEN COMBINE
AND POST FORFEIT.
War Among Liverymen Mt an End
and Schedule Agreed UpOn,

War Among Liverymen Mt an End
and Schedule Agreed Upon.
AS a result of combination of the
livery stablemen funerals and weddings
will in the future be little more ex-
pensiVe in Savannah. The combine
was made yesterday, a scale of prices
was agreed upon, and each stableman
deposited $50 to be forfeited in the
event that the agreement is broken.
For some time there has been quiet
war on among the livery stablemen
and those who have rented carriages
have protited. Carriages for a recent
wedding were furnished for 81 each,
although "a has always been the stand
and price. Some of the liverymen held
their prices up, and the figures for
carriages ran from $3.50 to 81. On oc-
casions saddle horses We're hired as low
as 90 cents. The stabemen say that
there was nothing in the business for
them at such prices and it was neces-
sary to agree upon figures. The matter
was discussed at some length and a
schedule of prices, as published in the
special notice column of to-day's News,
was agreed to. All of the liverymen
went into the combination, and each
man posted his forfeit of $50.
INC money was placed in the hands
of referee. and it was agreed that
whoever should break the agreement
would lose the money, and that ii
would be divided among the others.
The liverymen say that they had
enough of the game that they have
been playing, and they will stick to
the new schedule. The war game, they
say, was a rather expensive one. The
schedule arranged by the combination.
it is claimed, is a reasonable one, and
the stablemer say that the prices are
standard, and are by no means exorbi-
tant.

SEEKING HIS WIFE
HE LEFT HOSPITAL.
j. III. Davis Had Taken "A Big Dose of
Laudanum in Morning.


Following an attempt to commit sui
ciCe, by taking laudanum, near Barn
ard and Thirty-eighth streets, yester-
day morning, J. H. Davis, an Atlantic
Coast Line engineer, left the Park View
Sanitarium at 4 o'clock in the after
noon. Where Davis went and his
whereabouts could not be ascertained.
The poison had been pumped out of
him and he was no longer in danger
when he left the Sanitarium. Every
effort was made to detain him and he
was refused his clothes. The de-
spondent man declared that he would
leave the hospital if he had to go with
out his clothing, and rather than have
scene he was given his belongings
and permitted to depart.
Davis domestic life has not been a
happy one, and he alleged that he took
the laudanum because his wife had
left him. He suspected that she had
gone to Jacksonville and it was thought
last night that he had probably fol-
lowed her. after leaving the hospital.
He was not at his home on Thirty-third
street, near Abercorn, and there was
no one i'll the house. The police had
heard nothing from him, and the theory
was advanced that he had gone to
Florida in search of his wife. When
found on the street just after he had
taken the poison Davis was hurried to
Fire Station No. and DR.. A. A. Nor
rison was sent for.
Several weeks ago Davis called at
police headquarters and reported to the
superintendent that mis- wife was being
detained by her relatives against her
will. He asked the police to assist him
in securing her release. At that time
Davis stated that his wife's relatives
were endeavoring to keep them apart,
although lie made her a good husband.
The chief of police telephoned to Mrs.
Davis, ana she stated to him that she
was not being detained. The police
then refused to take any further part
in the affair.

Must stand Trial.
At yesterdays session of Police
Court forty-four cases were disposed
of in short order by Recorder Myrick.
Although a lengthy one the docket was
not as interesting as usual and the
spectators were tired before the ses-
sion had concluded.
A. Middleton, a negro arrested by
Detective Bostick for the theft of a Di-
cycle from Postmaster Harry Blum,
was remanded for trial in the City
Court. Although the stolen property
had been positively identified the pris-
oner had the effrontery to set up the
claim that he had brought the
machine with him from South Carolina
and that it had been owned by his
brother who recently died.
Sarah Cooper, a negro woman well
known in police circles, arrested by
Detective Frank Wall for the theft of
$24 from f. H. O'Brien, a white man,
was held on three charges. The pris-
oner was given thirty days on the
chaingang for disorderly conduct, and
was remanded for trial in the City
Court for vagrancy, and for running a
lewd house.
The case against the three boys ar
rested for the theft of copies of the
Morning News Sunday, was continued.
Anderson Hilton, the negro who beat
Silva King his paramour, was re-
manded for trial in the City Court for
assault and battery. He gave as his
excuse for the assault that the woman
went home under the influence of
liquor,
