Mr.. Hitchcock has always been a
hard worker, with tremendous powers

night. This pace he kept up for six
months before he was ready 10 come

FRANK Il. HITCHCOCK
MANAGER or TAFT CAMPAIGN
I NOW A NATIONAL FioUKE.
Has Applied PrlneIpIss 81 the Trained
, Scientist to Politics with Mush
suocsss-AbIllty to Fore
see Wins.

Chicago. Frank II. Hitchcock. the
man who so successfully managed
TArs campaign for the Republican
nomination for the presidency, is now
a national figure.
Naturally much has been written
about this man. There have been
psychological studies, more or less
minute. thumb nail sketches, Views
and reviews. what not. He has been
depicted in many attitudes and por-
trayed from many points Of view. The
public, by diligent perusal OF all this
mass Of stun, may acquire deal of
conflicting information and end by
giving II up in despair.
Yet there is nothing OF a mystery
about Mr.. Hitchcock He has brought
only a fresh intelligence and the most
logical Of brains to bear upon the game
of chess he has won by foresoeinR
every possible play before the hand
OF his adversary touched the pawRs.
To sum It all up in a word. Mr..
Hitchcock has made the experiment of
applying the principles OF the trained
scientist to the analysis of political at
fairs. This makes him unique In
American politics, and It may well be
the forerunner of many of the political
leaders OF the future.
No study OF this young campaign
manager which ignored the two main
elements in his intellectual makeup
would be complete. He has the re-
spect for orderly processes Of the mind
which characterizes the scientist; he
has the imagination which fts upon
the framework of the living voter.
These two qualities OF mind. so rare in
any individual. are the things which
strike the observer of Mr.. Hitchcock.
Lacking imagination. he would have
remained in a minor post in the de-
partment af agriculture among his
books and classifications. He would
have known more about the animal
world and less about the living, strug.

This is about the extent Of any COM

My life has been a very pleasant

bad it has no place in my memory"
she added, with a smile lighting up
her kindly face.
