w tional parties are considering
the qualities of convincing
campaign orators and casting about to
discover new and helpful additions to the
old standby political spellbinders.
Every national campaign furnishes its
usual crop OF new speakers. Some lose
their voices and are never heard Of after
while not q few have jumped into fame
from the top of a soap box or won
everlasting fortune from their debut into
this field Of conversational activity.
1t is a field to which scores feel attract
ed. but few are chosen, as every cam
paign proves.
a New York suffrage organization has
planned a new oratorical school, together
with its other recent ambitious plans of
\ campaign. AZ intends to teach young
>>Nomen the power of public speech. The
Best oratovtcal talent in the country has
consented to coach the young women.
-The only requirements made of applicants
= Shall be that they possess unusually at
tractive personal qualities, silver voice,
and that they shall be able to speak on
anXphase OF the subject, at any time and

hours a day.
The idea has met with such popular ia
vor amonothe New York local politicians
that the different political parties are con-

Senator Joe Bailey is another southern
orator of renown. He Is not partial to
pink teas. and prefers to shine on the
political stump. He reaches an extra
ordinary height of happiness when
mounted on dry goods box or other tenn
porary platform to tell his audience all
he knows about the wickedness of the
republicans in Congress and the country
at large. The senator Is a hard hitter,
and when he takes the stump his enemies
are supposed to take to the woods. He is
perfectly at home all over the state, and
wherever he goes receives royal well
come.
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts, has
done an immense amount Of campaign
ing In his state. On one occasion the
senator. while talking in a rural district
was rolling up friends and votes right and
left for his party, but his good work was
almost totally destroyed by an unfortu-
nate remark. Praising the farmers good
work and their .thrashing machines. and
drawing political object lesson from
both in favor OF his arguments, he casu-
ally picked up a handful of grain and,
commenting on its superior quality, re-
marked that 1t was the finest bunch Of
oats he had seen that year. "Oats," ex-
claimed a Disguised farmer. Don't you
know that's barley?" The town was lost
to the republicans that year. and since
then the senator has stuck to political
subjects. eliminating all farm subjects
Senator Daniel Of Virginia Is a hard
working man at home and one of the
busiest politicians during campaign
year. He can load more hay. dig more
potatoes and gather more tobacco worms
than any other man In the Old Dominion,
and he does not care who sees him. The
senator is good talker, and when he
speaks he makes converts. Everybody in

Mr.. Clayton is one of the successful ora
tors who talk forcibly with their hands.
He can say more with his hands in five
minutes than the majority of men can
say with their tongues in a week. He is
a. disciple of Drummond. who believes
with him that the original and convincing
language was that of the hands or the
sign language. Mr.. Clayton is a strong
forcible and logical speaker. He uses few
words. but so we'll chosen that they con-
vey the full meaning Of his ideas, and in
combination with his wonderful ability is
his knowledge Of gesticulation. In which
he stands alone as master of oratory.
Senator Scott Of West Virginia mas been

of the House, is one of the strongest ora
tors of the south. He is good-natured,
alert, forceful in argument and success
full. He Is as we'll pleased to speak from
the depths of wheelbarrow or the top
Of an apple barrel as a decorated stage
when campaigning. and makes hosts Of
friends wherever he goes.
Representative Henry Clayton of Ala
bama is a first-class spellbinder, and
when he has a crowd of his Alabama
constituents about him he cannot resist
the temptation to mount a cotton bale and
tell them all about the many thrilling and
hairbreadth escapes he has made from
the republicans in Congress. who are
after his scalp. He Is farmer as well
as a lawyer, and knows all about corn
and cotton. He would like to see all the
New England cotton mills removed to
Alabama.

after the man rattles the brilliant

walk back to the man again with the
trousers. The man must take them
and hand the wife a few tin pans. All

Another is the construction OF fish
skin suits. The natives of the Siberian
coast make suits of fishskin that are
softer, finer and far more waterproof
than my fabric known to us. What
could be so waterproof as ishskin?
