Among the men who are to assume the

dates themselves are the most conspic.
uous. 1t may be assumed that no i'm.
portant move will be made by the Re.
publicans without the sanction of Pres
ident Roosevelt, and that nothing OF
vital moment will be decided upon on
the Democratic side without the assent
Of Judge Parker.
The Campaign Managers.
In the actual work of the campaign
the Republicans have the start of their
opponents. George B. Cortelyou, the
chairman of the National Committee
located in New York, will devote his
time chiefly to the East, while in the
West Harry S. New, the indianapolis
editor. will doubtless have charge, with
headquarters at Chicago. In the East
Mr.. COrtelyou will be assisted by L.
A. Coolidge, of Massachusetts. Thomas
Taggart will be the active head on the
Democratic side and his reputation as
resourceful leader insures the conf
dence of his subordinates. Virtually
he will be the manager of the Parker
campaign. He has been Mayor Of In
dianapolis several times. He has lived
in Indiana since 1877 and has been
running hotels nearly all his life. He
says he has ''given many a man dys-
pepsia." Managing presidential cam
paign is strenuous task, but Mr. Tag
CART will be equal to it. He will have
capable assistants. In New York the
national committeeman, Norman E.
Mack, will cooperate with him and
Cord Meyer, chairman of the State
Committee, will be relied upon.
