CARD INDEX
PLAN STAYS
REPUBLICANS WILL KEEP
. THEIR FINGERS ON VOTERS
AS HITCHCOCK DID WHEN HE
RAN TAFT CAMPAIGN.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The
card-index system of politics which
was introduced by former Chairman
Frank H. Hitchcock, and which,
while the subject of much joking
and even sneering comment, helped
to deliver the goods" last Novem-
Der, is to be permanent feature
in the management of republican
national campaigns.
John F. Hill, former governor of
Maine, who was made chairman of
the national committee when Hitch
cock was promoted to become a
member of President Taft's cabi-
net, thinks mighty well of the sys-
tenn.
This country" said he, us get
ting too big to attempt to run a
campaign on memory. You have
got to systematic and pay much at
tention to organization. A business
ma nto succeed must have abso-
lutte system in business and it is
the same way in politics.
So the card-index system is here
to stay, and it is safe to say that
the already voluminous collections
of voters names, addresses and po-
litical Affiliations will receive many
thousand additions during the next
four years.
Because there will be little bust
ness to come before the committee
until the executive committee meet
ing in 1910, Chairman Hill expects
to close the headquarters in this
city about the beginning of April.
They will then be transferred to
Chicago where Secretary Hayward
will be in charge.
Chairman Hill, however, expects
to take considerable interest in the
next congressional campaign.
