FRANK H HITGHG0G8
MANAGER OF TAFT CAMPAIGN
NOW A NATIONAL FIGURE.
Has Applied Principles Of the Trained
Scientist to Politics with Much
Sueeess-Ability to Fore
see Wins.

Chieago.-Frank H. Hitchcock, the
man who SO successfully managed
Taft's campaign for the Republican
nomination for the presidency, is now
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 stuff, may acquire a deal Of
conflicting information and end by
giving 1t up In despair.
Yet there Is nothing Of 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 foreseeing
every possible play before the hand
of HIS adversary touched the pawns.
To sum 1t all up in word, Mr..
Hitchcock has made the experiment Of
applying the principles Of the trained
scientist to the analysis Of political af-
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 fits 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
rartment az agriculture among his
books and classihcations He would
have known more about the animal
world and less about the living, strug

Cling world Of men. No one can doubt,
who has met him. that science lost a
close concise thinker when the politl-
cal organizer throttled the expert
mental spirit in him.
It is characteristic Of the man that
he looked on at the struggle OF these
two tendencies in himself. in the early
years, almost with indifference. He
did not know whether he would turn
out a scientist OF politician. AS
matter Of fact. he did not greatly caro-;
he was merely curious to see which
side Of nature would prove the strong
er and more vital.
Il believe that I cared for science
genuinely" he said IN his Office at the
Coliseum Annex one day while the
convention was In session Indeed.
Il was my arse love only IL IVES never
perfectly in the ascendant. No man
who has crossed even the outer
threshold OF the house OF science can
fail to feel the thrill with which Il in
spires the inquirer It's very aloofness
is an added charm, but the man whc
succumbs to its ailurements must let
many things die IN him"
Mr.. Hitchcock knows himself thor
oughly. Not that he is introspective
He is fer from that, apparently. or al
least from the kind Of weakness that
grows too often from a habit OF in
trospection. But he knows Just where
to lay his hand on every available bii
Of dynamic energy when the neet
arises. He does not strike you as be
Ing selfconscious. but as being poised
and very sure Of himself
Mr.. Hitchcock has always been Z
hard worker, with tremendous power
OF concentration, and he rarely de
serted his headquarters before mid
night. This pace ne kept up for sii
months before he was ready to com
to Chicago and show the results. A
a matter Of fact, he has not allowel

eight quarts Of nitro glycerine past the

the men held their breath for an IN

nothing Of the kind occurring. The tin

shock Of the collision without disturb

Massachusetts, Company Z. He con-
fided his plan to his comrades, who en-.
tered eagerly into the scheme and
united their efforts cautiously for its
accomplishment
Some white cloth was smuggled into
the prison, and for the other colors the
men supplied parts of their red and
blue flannel shirts. The various
pieces were skillfully sewn together.
This flag, placed against the roof Of
the prison, which was extremely high,
was out Of sight OF the confederate
guards. So 1t was under the folds Of
genuine stars and stripes that the
union comrades gathered on that Inde-
pendence day and sang their songs Of
patriotism.
At night the ensign was az secretly
dismembered as it had been secretly
put together, the parts were distribu-
ted to those who had contributed
them, and the address Of every man
who had a portion was written down
by Timothy Regan.
After the release from Libby prison,
Regan began communicating with the
men for the purpose OF reasaembling
the flag. Progress was very slow, and
often discouraging, and 1t was not un-
til 30 years had passed that he Anally
succeeded in collecting every piece,
when the flag was remade.
Another long period passed before
the story vas made public. Timothy
Regan diedzR0 years ago. On his death
bed he called to his side David L
Jones, who was then commander Of
post &c, and said:
In that drawer, over there, you vii
find key. Take It, open the door d
the closst in the corner Of the room
unlock a trunk and bring me what Il
ia It."
The flag was brought to him: ant
then he told the story OF how It cam'
to be made.
He concluded; The old flag wal
made under great hardships, and ii
the midst Of privation and suffering
IN committing that act We infringel
upon a cardinal rule Of the prison; AM
had It been discovered, every man 0

But it was worth all the risk to see
there above us while we were singin
our songs It was the only way 4
which we prisoners could eelebrat

which We we're fighting.
All the comrades separated widell
after our release, and I was In grea

ter, St. Augustine The fiower-covered
land looked so much like the place Of
his dreams that he kissed the ground
in the joy Of having found the object
Of his quest. But the JOY Of it soon
turned to ashes. The ruler Of Porto
Rico had discovered a garden spot,
but the fountain OF youth existed only
in his dreams, and six years afterward
he died at the age Of 81.
Porto Rico subsequently had a sort
Of happy-go-luchy existence The
peacefulness Of the people, and their
industry, remarkable for dwellers in
tropical country, made them always
willing enough to sufficiently develop
their country to turn over to the crown

Thirty.hve miles broad and 80 long,
the island is nothing extensive, but its
area of 1868 square miles Is marvel
ously productive.
The population at the last census
showed 953,234 inhabitants, but the
/ American occupation, the liberal treat
ment accorded the settlers, and the
boom given to business has had the
effect Of drawing an increasing NUM-
Der of residents, and it is probable
that at the time Of the celebration in
August, Porto Rico will be nation OF

significant when the meager popula-
ton Of some of our western states Is
taken into account
For four centuries Porto Rico has
been a supply point for tobacco, coffee,
sugar and honey. The imports from
the United States are now averaging
about $12,O0o,O00 annually, and the ex-
ports are about 100000
The cable system Of the island has
been extended and now there is con-
nection with Europe. America and the
other islands Of the Antilles.
The conduct Of the country by the
United States in the last ten years has
been wonderfully successful, It is
