Candidates and Campaign Managers

run them and getting the voters to the
polls? Even the strongest candidate
needs a capable general for this work.
Mr. Taft's denomination is now widely
assumed. and he will. Of course. name
his campaign manager. Mr.. Hitchcock
will not be barred because Of his office.
Mr. Roosevelt's campaign was conducted
by a member of his cabinet But II MT.

Turning then to the democratic side. II
Gov Harmon Is nominated would not
Senator Pomerene be the right man for
chairman Of the national committee? He
has only recently been introduced to ma
tional life. and has much to learn about
1t. But his rapid rise In Ohio politics
shows him to be q quick study" He is
not q business man. as Mr.. Hanna was,
but has means and is acquainted with
men Of means, and would probably make
a good collector He Is in charge now
Of the Harmon boom. and his knowledge
of the Harmon interests should be very
full by this time next year.
II Gov. Wilson Is made the standard
bearer. why not Col. George Harvey. Of
New Jersey and New York. for campaign
manager? The colonel was ono Of the
authors of tho Wilson gubernatorial
boom, which doomed SO big. and he is
now in charge Of tho Wilson presidential
boom. Educated in daily journalism.
and the editor Of monthly and a weekly
publication. he knows q good deal about
among politicians.
Mr.. Lloyd Of Missouri would be a
serviceable man in case OF Mr.. Clark
nomination. In last years contest for
control Of the House he exhibited excel
lent qualities of management, and ac-
quired information about the politics OF
the country which would be valuable to
the conductor Of presidential cam
paign. The country would want to be
shown; and q candidate from Mis-
souri, and q manager from the same
state would make an appropriate team
for the occasion.
In tho case Of Mr.. Bryan no man at
present Is clearly indicated. He went to
Arkansas for the manager OF his first
and second campaigns. and to New York
for the manager of tho third. Mr.. Jones
Is dead, and there is no suggestion OF
Mr.. Mack for q second trial. But there
are many active and capable politicians
In Mr.. Bryan's train. and no trouble VIII

Said Socrates McSnook:
Although ! seldom venture out;
I've seen It In a book.
This world Of ours, so round and grand
Which greatly I admire,
Looks something like an onion and
Its axis is q wire.
"A star Is q five-pointed thing,
With angles neatly traced.
A river looks much like q string
'Twixt different countries placed.

Pea green or navy blue.

"A mountain range is queer indeed.

For useful facts to look;
