He had practiced long ans faith

morning ne got up early ana walked

was some track elevation going on. His
purpose was to get out in a neighbor-

determined 20 speak his speech out
loud once. to see how it sounded. He
climbed up on the track elevation Just
az the sun was climbing up out of the
lake. and there. all alone with the
Rorning. he began.
At first ne didn't speak with much
vigor, because he feared that an IN
seen listener might be lurking some
where In the surrounding gloom But
as his confidence rose his voice did
likewise. and In almost no time he
was waving his arms and pounding an

McDermott grining foolishly. was just
about to say something when the boy,

frantoally. started off toward the
packing houses as fast as his legs
would carry him.

the first place, he is intensely energetic
and intensely human, and it is the
latter quality that really counts
whether man is picking rags or p9-
Htical pIums. McDermOtt does not
pretend to be an orator, but II he
once catches a name it sticks in his
memory. If one Of his constituents
should ask him for a technical dehni-
ton of what is needed in the way OF
currency reform he probably would
blink his eyes helplessly and reply
that he guessed any old plan would
do. But if a postal employe IN his
district should lose his job for some
reason or other. he would get up at
O'Clock in the morning. and sit on the
doorstep Of the Postmaster General
office until that worthy came down 70
work, in order to get in early with his
plea for the reinstatement.

Result Of His Speech.

That ended McDermott's speech. He
could take no further chances Of being
seen or heard. so he started of In the
direction that had been taken by the
boy. When he had gone few yards
he saw lying in the grass the I'D az
the dinner bucket, which had been lost

on he saw. mashed and splattered in

pie. and still a few yards more brought
him TO a doughnut that had bean

ror-stricken audience had fed. AS he
neared civilization again the first per-

doubtful value OF his clue, II he had
seen anything OF a crazy man running
loose in the neighborhood Of the track

friends In the first plRes. he ohal-
lenged AIac-that's what they call him

Will tell himself, was a very unfair
and unsportsmaniike thing 70 do.

knew perfectly well that Mae was only
a telegraph operator and that he was
not required, therefore. 70 debate with
anyone, 10 say nothing o. a trained
and skiIful lawyer such as the other

there was something the matter with
il. for Il was a matter OF common
knowledge around the stock yards that
il never had worked properly. and that
II seemed hOpelessly out Of commits
sion.
But the challenge to a debate was
boomerang for the other fellow. Pretty
soon it became known around the
steckyards that the Republican candi-
date. N-ho had the reputation OF being
a quick witted lawyer. had challenged

who was only an honest. hard-work-

was beaten by MCDermOtt for the
Congressional nomination. For sew
eraI terms he had been alderman, and
at the time OF his defeat by the young
telegraph operator he was so power
fuI IN the stOckyards that no candi-
date for any office woulJ think of
announcing himself without his sane
ton. Unlike McDermott, he was very
wealthy, and his employees numbered
IN the hundreds. In fact, the name
of this opponent was so we'll known,
and so respected by the ofhce-seeking
politicians, that when he announced
his candidacy for the Congressional
nomination all OF the fifteen candi-
dates that hid been in the field be-
fore, except Jim MeDermott, quietly
withdrew.

But the idea wasn't ridiculous to
McDermott He haG his friends by
the thousands, and those among the
80 900 who were not his friends we're
the friends of his brOeher-tn-law,
George w. Fleming. a quiet. unassum-
ing little man for whom many Of the
stockyard boys would cut of their
thumbs. Fleming was McDermott' s
campaign manager, and the way the
two OF them. without money or pres
tige or influence of any kind, went
out and got the nomination away from
Tom Carey. for years and years the
master Of stockyards politics, was a
Jolt that almost shook some Of the pO-
iitieal ''wiseheads' around Chicago
out Of their wits.

not so strong with the lodges, IS
great favUrTte with the workingmen
and the common people in the district
where he lives HIS argument TO the
boys OF whom ne asked support at
the primaries was not that for years
ard years he had politically domi-
neered the district, or that he had
built I'D a long record for himself
He simply walked up to Kasmer Klas-
akzewskwicz, or Michael O'Brien, or
Gust Anderson. as it happened 70 be,
called them by their first name. and
told them what he wanted,
Now, look here Kasmer,' he would
say: "ycu know me. don't you? I'm
one of the boys. amt I? I've been
here with you fellows for years,
haven't I? Whenever there has been
anything doing, I've been in on it,
haven't I? I'm a working man, just
like you are. amt I? And I'm union
man. amt I? We're all here together,
and were all friends together I never
got a cent that wesn't coming to me,
did I? Well, then, amt 1 entitled TO
this 5ob?"
And the universal opinion of Kas-
mer. ana Michael, and Gust. and their
thousands of fellows. many of whom
he knows as well as he knows his own
mother. was that he was entitled TO
the job.
1t is no easy task TO remember
names in the stock yards district. In
parts Of the district the city directory
reads like a roll call at a police sta
ton. In other parts, particularly the
part that made Sinclair famous, It
reads like a bunch OF tin cans falling
down the cellar steps. But McDer-
mott knows them all He can, and
does, attend the Polish and Lithuanian
dances and festivals, and calls all the
merrymakers by their first names.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1908-02-16
Cultivated His NeighbOrs.

About the hrst thing McDermott did
after he moved to Chicago was TO cul-
tivate the acquaintance OF his neigh
bors. and IN less than a month he
knew everybody on his street by their
FIRST name. As time passed he gained
new friends and acquaintances, so that
by the time ne was nominated Tor
Congress he knew practically all OF
the 5000 voters in his district BIZ their
first names. This may be a slight ex-
aggeration, but 1t is safe to say that
he knew most OF them, for It was his
only asset when he sought the nomina-
ton, and with II he beat out one OF
the oldest and best-known politicians
IN Chicago.
Nobody in Chicago is better known
among politicians than the man who
