FRANK HITcHcocK-THE MAN

Man. as a rule, is measured, or should be, by his mentality.
 In blunter more comprehensive language, his ability
 To do things.
 The length of the shadow counts for naught.
 He may be giant; or,
 He may be a diminutive lilliputian in physique.
 But the lustre of the ray; the brilancy of the beam; the heat of the fire; the magnetism that draws and controls men and situations em- anates from the brain-the human dynamo, transmitting power, light and life, and govern ing the workings of the world with clock-hke precision that is wonderful in the contemplation of its silent and invisible force.
 So it is of little sequence, whether by birth a man be "a Russian, Turkish, or Prussian, or perhaps Italian''-whether he be a whig or a tory-a pOpulist or prOhibitionist-a demo- crat or a republicans Baptist or Methodist. These are mere incidents to everyday life and are brushed aside when the real measuring stick is applied; when the unenvironed lndlvld- ua stands for the test and the pages ot the book of accomplishments are slowly turned backward and reviewed. s '
 And so, this morning, we are presenting Frank Hitchcock the man, and not Frank Hitch cock the politician. He comes to the city this evening ill the role of private citizen, and will be received and entertained by the people of Globe as one of the nations most distinguished sons and young man of extraordinary prom ise who is placing in history some of the bright est and most fascinating pages m the life of American statesmanship.
 Without attempting to detract from the glory of the pupil or to add to the lustre of the teach CT, but with sole desire to make an equal dis tribution of the flowers of the bouquet, it can be stated that Mr. Hitchcock was assisted to the front by George B. CortelyOu, man who has basked in the beam of the presidency of this great nation and who has successfully pilOted the ship of state in hours of impending danger. To be not only recognized, but commended, by such man as Mir. Cortelyou is in itself a com pliment of such great significance and so full of meaning as to make further exploitation of worth only superfuous, added, words.
 And Frank Hitchcock made good.
 As assistant to the chairman of the national republican committee during the Roosevelt campaign, Mr. Hitchcock made such a brilliant reputation that the management of the Taft campaign was thrust upon him, and his success in this undertaking marks one of the brightest pages in the political history of America.
  tween Mir. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft, and the lat ter was the avowed choice of the then president, the Rooseveltan popularity, within and without the party, was so intense that it assumed the form of bomb in the nominating convention at Chicago, rolling around the hopes and aspira- tions of Mr. Taft and his campaign manager with ignition imminent and the political de- struction of Mr. Taft so far as the presidency was concerned the inevitable But with wis dom that commanded the admiration of the en- tire political world, Hitchcock futtered about in the great convention hail. here and there like a butterfly smiling beaming upon and cheering with the patriotic as they paid tribute to their champion. It was work of political art, of matchess diplomacy, of adept engineering, and the credit, the honor, after all, was for Frank Hitchcock
 Representative citizens from every nook and corner of the nation cheered for Theodore Roosevelt, and, the following day, they voted for the nomination of William Taft for the presidency.
 The only obstable had been removed
 It was a victory for Taft
 It was a greater conquest for Frank Hitch cock
 The mental dynamo had accomplished it's
