REAL NEWS GOSSIP FROM THE DEM
OCRATIC NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS

Special Correspondence OF The Argus.)
New York, Aug. 17.-There is a cloud
of songs lowering over the American
people; not the old, old home songs,
but the campaign song that comes into
being every four years.
The crop that has been reaching
democratic national headquarters is
larger than usual this year.
Josephus Daniels, chairman of the
publicity committee, does not claim TO
be musician, but he has been giving
due attention to each author, until he
has acquired the habit of humming
various tunes. 1t became a case of
either humming while talking TO his
callers and answering his avalanche OF
letters or turning the songs over to
! one Of the employees Of the publicity
/ bureau
A winsome young stenOgrapher was
| found who said she could play the
/ piano just as well as she could use the
/ typewriter. For two days she played
tunes after office hours, but today II
was found she was writing her letters
in B sharp or F fiat, and now Mr. Dan
iels is wondering if he should not EN-
plOy a regular musical editor to select
the songs of the campaign.
II a congressional committee ever
cares to Investigate the democratic
committee campaign fund of 1912, il
