A GREAT POLITICIAN.
Douglas of Massachusetts Knows How to
Get the Votes.

GET the Votes.
These who have watched Mr. Doug
las in his recent campaign say he is
: great politician. A World reporter
who observed him at his headquarters
last Wednesday was struc,, with lie
easy way in which this plain man of
business adapted himself to politics.
Almost every two minutes some OF his
workers, wearing the very evident
stamp of the politician, came in to con-
gratulate him. Instantly the governor
elect wcJ up to meet them with hear
ty handshake and Why, h-e-l-l-o, Jim!
Well, it was all right, wasn't it? You
did fine. You boys were great. l am
awfully glad to see No. you are to
be congratulated yourself"
All day Wednesday the political
workers filed his improvised campaign
headquarters in the Old South building
on Washington street, and Mr.. Doug
las, who has devoted all his life to the
shoe business, mingled with them with
his hearty laugh, and with as great
freedom as though politics had been
his calling all his life.
Down in Brockton, nineteen miles
from Boston, where the Douglas shoe
factories are, Mr.. Douglas is unques-
tionably the idol of the people. He has
a great army of employees in his several
factories there. He is known from one
end of the state to the other as the
ideal employer. What the people of
the town like about him is that he is
a plain, sincere, transformations man
who goes about the street mingllng
with the people, without ever giving
in his manner the slightest suggestion
of the great success he mas won. inc
newsboys and boOtblacks all know him
The conductors on the accommodation
trains that run from Boston to Brock
ton all know him, and he always gives
them hearty handshake. All the
cabmen and truck drivers are his per
sonal friends, and though Brockton is
republican town far and away, Ee
carried is Tuesday by a good vote.
There is no question that Mr.. Doug
las election is the most remarkable
thing that ever happened in Mass Il
chusetts politics. Many explanations
are offered for it. Probably the most
popular explanation is that the labor
vote did it. Though this explanation
covers a great part of the phenomenon
it does not explain it all. Throughout
the state the labor unions were pretty
generally united in favor of Mr.. Doug
las. They liked him, and they did not
like Governor Bates. whom they
banned for vetoing an eight-hour law
and an overtime bill. The labor unions
in. many cases came out openly and in
dorsed Mr.. Douglass The socialist vote

One opinion holds that when the

trustees still have a right to lengthen
the term provided they have sufficient
funds.
The other question involves q con.
solidation of two common school dis
tricts into an Independent district.
One Of the districts had q bonded
debt, and the attorney general holds
that this debt is not assumed by the
new district, but must be paid by the
taxpayers inthe territory of the old
district.
