But a much more wonderful old lady

Apropos of the mention OF Manager
Hitchcocks stenographers-and they
are just now the hardest worked typ

that here again his preference for
young men crops out. The typewriter
girl is an unknown quantity at the
Hitchcock beehive. The letter writer
upon whom the campaign captain
places most reliance is Frank D.
Gardner. who. though today little
more than a boy. has been for I'VE
years past Mr.. Hitchcocks confden-
tial stenographer. Gardner began
handling the Hitchcock correspond

left the Department of Agriculture

comparative youth or the CllicI
Executive, but more especially to
the fact that he has surrounded
himself with young men, most of
them athletic enough to be eligible
for the famous Tennis Cabinet"
Now the public is to be shown
an interesting sequel in the form of
a young mans campaign" The
Presidential canvass of 1903, at
least in so far as the Republicans
are concerned, will be largely in the
hands of energetic young men who
are scOmfully designated as "kids"
by the old wheel horses who have
formerly been in power.
The explanation of this innova-
ton is found in Judge TaftS selec-
ton of Frank H. Hitchcock as his
campaign manager. The new ma
tlonal chairman, who will not cele-
brate his fOrty-first birthday ami
verSary until shortly before. cleo
ton, is not only the Youngest man
ever chosen as captain of the PreSi-

but IL is suspected that this does not
fully explain Hitchcock's preference
for young blood. II must be remem-
bered that the present chairman OF the
Republican National Committee is the
disciple OF a new school OF politics
a cult OF which the rank and file OF
the G. o. P. had a foretaste when
George B. CortelyOU conducted the
campaign Tor ROOsevelt's reelection.
Under the regime Of the astute Mark
Hanna and his predecessors in the
Craftsmanship Il was considered good
policy to at least give a semblance Of
frankness and above-board methods IN
the conduct OF a campaign, but CorteI-
you took another tack, and this cue
is being followed 10 the letter by
Hitchcock, who was Cortelyou's pupil
In politics as he was his protege IN
the Government service.
Now, obviously. IL IS easier TO ingraft
secretive methods upon young men OF
open minds than TO teach the old cam
paigners new tricks, and thus there has
been a sudden influx Of new blood IN
the high places OF the campaign or
ganization that has caused mingled
rage and despair among the old
timers who felt that by reason OF
seniority OF service they had a mort
gage on the positions. Manager
Hitchcock has been quietly building
up an Office organization all the while
he was conducting the pre-conventIou
canvas TO- Taft's organization, and
thus upon the formal opering Of the
campaign headquarters in New York
ana Chicago early in August he is in
a position TO install at the outset a
thoroughly trained STAFF" that has
been enectually drilled in that team
work which Is Hitchcock's hobby.
