New York, Aug. 19-There is cloud of songs lowering over the American people; not the 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.
 Joscpnus Daniels, chairman of the Publicity Committee, does not claim to be a musician, but he has been giving due attention to each author, until he has acquired the habit of humming various tunes. It became case of either humming while talk ing 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 plano just as well as she could use the typewriter. For two days she played tunes after office hours, but today it was found she was writing her letters in B. sharp or F flat and now MT. Daniels is wondering if he should not employ regular musical editor to select the songs for the campaign.
 If Congressional Committee ever cares to investigate the Democratic National Committee fund of 1912, they will find one entry on the cash books of Treasurer Rolla Wells that he will be unable to give them any informal ton about
 In his morning mail, Treasurer Wells found dollar bill, in highly scented piece of letter paper and was signed ''Only a .Suffragette.' This was duly entered on the books.

 A political headquarters during a national campaign is about the last place man would expect to spend a vacation, but that is what William Rufus Hollister, private secretary to Senator Stone, of Missouri, is doing.
 MT. HolliSter is in Chairman Me- Coml,c nriuoto offico and to 1,;,,, fo lc the duty of answering many of the letters that reach headquarters. MI Hollister was selected for the impor- tant post, because he has reputa- tion of being able to keep half a dozen stenographers busy writing let ters.
 But I am having a vacation," ex- plained MT. Hollister from behind a yard high of letters. Senator Stone every four years declares it is wrong for any one to eat or sleep.
 "A political battle is like war to him. He goes on the theory that a man who is engaged in real war, when the shot and shells are doing business, has no time to stop to eat and sleep. A political fight is like war to Senator Stone, so he refuses to eat or sleep until the victory is won.
 That's why am sort of glad to get into the busy headquarters. I will at least, get some sleep and I can eat now and then.'
 But there is another reason why MT, Hollister is glad to come to New York Mr. Holliste'r own family and Senator Stone are about the only people who know his middle name is Rufus. He is not happy over that middle name -Rufus-as MT. Hollister comes from Jefferson City, Mo.
 When Senator Stone is about to buckle on his sword and get real busy in National campaign, he for gets his private secretaries dislike for his middle name, and starts calling him Rufus"
 When Hollister hears Rufus" said Colonel Thomas Jones Pence, "he knows the famous Missouri Senator is starting to forget his dislike for Rufus and also to forget to eat o1 |sleep."
