Leaders in the Political
Fight in New York
Opposed TO Him Benjamin B. 0deH h Republican, Hill William
Sheehan Charles Murphy and Patrick H. McCanen Democrats

The state of New York is the chief
battle-ground of the national campaign.
1t will cast vote of 100000 in a
probable total vote of 15,0O0,00O. 1t
will supply 80 electoral votes in a total
of AIS. 1t is the home of both the
candidates for the presidency. 1t
elected Grover Cleveland in 1884 and
1892. So evenly is it balanced between
the two great parties that a change
of two or three votes in each of its
1850 election districts is usually suf-
fcient to turn the scale. 1t is made up
of widely diverse elements of voting
population, ranging from the bankers
and brokers of Wall street and the
rulers of great corporations to the
farmers in the scattered hamlets on
the fringe of the Adirondacks.
SO weA recognized is the Importance
of carrying New York that the man
ayers of both national campaigns
have established their main head
quarters in the state. Each side knows
that the prospect of winning New York
would give hope and confidence to their
party throughout the entire country.
A Republican General.
Benjamin B. Odell Jr., Governor of
the state and chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee, commanding
general on the Republican side in the
fight, is opposed by a group of Demo-
cratic leaders, each of whom is DOM
mating figure in a certain portion of
the state. They are William F. Shee-
han, David B. Hill, Charles F. Murphy.
and Patrick Fl. McCarren. Mr.. Hill is

and had decided that the candidate for
Governor should be Frank S. Black
1t was incredible, but nevertheless it
was true. After the other minor lead
ers had gone, Louis F. Payn and Jacob
Worth, two influential leaders, had
threatened Senator Platt with revolt
on the floor of the convention unless
he threw Odell overheard and nomi-
mated Black, and Platt had yielded
Yet Odell was one of the first men to
congratulate Black, and he took charge
of Blacks campaign and managed it
with great skill and loyalty.
Mr.. OdelPs first lesson in practical
politics was learned very easily. 1t
was when he was a candidate for
supervisor in the town of New Wind
sor, Orange county: 1t was a Demo-
cratic district Odelrs canvess show
ed "a majority for himself He was
told of twenty votes he could get if he
wanted them. He decided to stand
pat. When the ballots were count
ed Odell was beaten by eight votes
This taught the future Republican
leader of the state never to take any
thing in politics for granted, and to
get all the votes he could.
His First Fight in '9s.
Mr.. Odell's first great fight in the
state WAS in 1898. when Theodore
Roosevelt was the candidate of his
party for Governor. Odell was the
supreme manager. 1t was a hard
fight, because the canal scandal had
apparently shifted $4,000 or 10000
votes from the Republicans to the
Democrats. In the last week of the
campaign Odell made up his mind
that Roosevelt would win. The diff
Guilty lay in convincing the party that
there was a chance of success. He

talking any more than the Republican
leader, but there the likeness between
them ends.
Mr.. Hill is a lawyer by training and
temperament. While he knows the
value of organization, having studied
it in the school of Tilden, who made
the school district the basis of Demo-
cratic organization in New York state
he also places stress on the value of
appeals to the reason of the voters.
His campaign speeches are master
pieces.
Mr.. Hill is a bachelor and has been
called q woman hater. There are
about his fireside no romance, no wife,
no children, no domesticity-only poll
tics and law, but chiefly politics. Yet
Mr. Hill has his human and softer
side. He adopted and educated a
nephew, of whom he was very proud.
This nephew died at an early age, and
his foster father felt deeply about it.
For days after the death he denied
himself to all his friends.
His FOndness for Young Men.
Mr.. Hill also has a great fondness
for young men. He has educated sew
eral. One of them is a prosperous
physician in Washington, DIR. Pierce,
who married the daughter of the Rev.
DR.. Battershall of Albany Over the
country are scattered half a dozen
other young men who owe their start
in life to the former Governor They
are his devoted admirers.
One of these is Timothy E. Williams,
now one of the leading officials of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. Mr.
Williams was a young newspaper man
on a struggling journal which was OPP
posing Hill politically He went to in
terview Hill one day. Hill told him
many political secrets.

Don't use any of it. Just say this

Mr.. williams respected Hills conf
dence, and in a short time he was of
fered the position of private secre-
tary to the Governor. He was con-
tinued in that capacity by Gov. Flow
err, and when Flower retired. his in
f1uence and that of Hill put him in
a position to make his fortune in the
metropolis.
81 Am a Democrat"
Hill is a great phrase-maker. His
declaration in the campign of 1858,
IT am a Democrat" has chung to him,
and the cartoonists still draw him

Charles f. Murphy.
Mr.. Murphy, the leader of Tam
many Hall, and Mr.. McCarren, the
leader of the Brooklyn Democracy,
have become national figures on ac-
count of the great feud which has
been in progress between them.
Mr. Murphy is the yungest leader
Tammany ever had. He won his
leadership by hard work. He was for
many years the leader of the Eight
zenith Assembly district, and of this
district the Rev. DR.. w. S. Rainsford
once said: IF all the Tammany dis
tricts were conducted as Murphy's is
this would be a model town"
One of the most interesting things
about Mr.. Murphy is the affection
which exists between him and Mayor
George b. Mcclellan. When Mr. Nc
Clellan went to New York to make
his living, he met Charles f. Murphy,
who was then minor district leader
in Tammany. The two men linked
their fortunes. Mr.. Murphy aided I'm
making Mr.. Mcclellan treasurer OF
the Brooklyn Bridge Commission. He
stood by him when he was candidate
for president of the Board Of Alder
men. He urged him for Lieutenant
Governor and for Governor. He also
repeatedly asked Richard Croker, then
leader OF Tammany, to make him the
candidate for Mayor.
When Mr.. Murphy himself became
the leader of Tammany, there was no
question as to who the candidate for
Mayor would be.
At n "Gridiron" Dinner.
At the dinner Of the Gridiron Club
last December, in Washington, Muir
ply and Mcclellan sat side by side,
A red lantern. indicating the red

feature Of the campaign OF 1908, was
hung over their heads. After the
Mayor had spoken the presiding
genius OF the dinner said:

thing" and called on the Tammany
leader for a speech.
Gentlemen" said Mr.. Murphy. ris-
iAg and waving his hand toward the
mayor-elect, Sin all seriousness. / in
form you that the real thing in New
York city affairs sits on my right"
No one believed the Tammany lead
er At this time. But when Mayor Nc
clellan took his seat IN the New York
city Hall Il was soon learned that
what Mr. Murphy had said was literal
~ true For the first time IN the NUM-
clpal history Of New York there wac a

had a trouble to unfold. favor to
ask, or a suggestion to make. The
secret of Tammany's greatness as a
political factor has been that 1t keeps
close to the poor of the city. Mr..
Murphy has followed that principle to
a greater extent than any other Tam
many brave, and no power could shake
him in the estimation of those who live
in his district.

thirty years, and he has been in the
that time. The only term he missed

temporary retirement then is one of

Mr.. OdelPs personal courage never
showed to better advantage than dur
ing the last great maneuver in Re-
publican state politics which made him
leader. When the convention in 1902
had been on the eve of nominating
him for Governor a second time, it
was also apparent that George r.
