New York. July 27.-Thc rapid rise
Of William r. McCombs. the smooth
faced. youthful attorney who success
fully managed Woodrow wilson's pre-
convention campaign and now holds
down the important job of chairman
OF the democratic national campaign
committee. Is one of the wonders Of
modern politics.
Who is this man McCombs? He Is
a young looking man. prepossessing In
appearance. clean cut, thin Tipped. with
a strong jaw and eyes of steel blue.
The first impression conveyed on
meeting him is that he Is rather frail
in physique. He Is a trifle lame and
walks with slight limp.
Mr.. McCombs Is only 30 years old.
having been born In the little town of
Hamburg. Ashley county. Arkansas.
on December 6, 1875 He received his
early education in small, ungraded
country school and later prepared for
Princeton and the locomotive cheer at
the famous Webb school In Tennessee.
He was graduated from Princeton In
1893. receiving his degree cum laude."
and promptly entered the Harvard law
The Daily Missoulian., 1912-07-28

school, where he completed his pro-
fesslonal studies In 1901 and was ad-
mitted to the New York bar.
With little money and no Influence
he came to this city and began his
career as a lawyer by accepting a
clerkship In the offices OF big law
firm. Shortly afterward a coterie of
New York bankers consulted the firm
by which Mr.. McCombs was en-
ployed upon a proposition which in
volvcd the investment of $4,000. 200 In
certain railroad securities. The legal
aspects of the case were turned over
to McCombs. who handled the work
so well that his ability attracted the
attention OF certain interested mag
mates and he was offered inducements
to accept other work of the same ma
ture. This led the youthful lawyer to
open an office for himself at S6 Broad
way, where he has been remarkably
successful and has built up large
and lucrative practice.
Mr.. McCombs' sole political expert
ence was when he became a candi-
date in 1904 for assemblyman in the
Twenty-fifth district, republican
The Daily Missoulian., 1912-07-28

stronghold. Although he was de-
feated, the young lawyer wagcd an
aggressive campaign and forged
ahead of his party ticket.
1t viii thus be seen that Mr.. Me-
Combs comes to his present position
equipped with little actual experience
in the political game. He Is tire
less worker: he possesses unusual
ability to Judge men and he has great
tact. These are the qualifications
which flt him for his present position.
But II Mr.. McCombs is without
practical experience in folitics, his
advisers on the campaign committee
are mostly old hands at the game.
Senator Reed is man who has been
mixed up In Missouri politics for
years: as much might be said OF
Senator Gore of oklahoma and Sen.
ator O'Gorman of New York. Repre-
sentative McGillicuddy of Maine Is
another experienced politician. jose
phus Daniels of North Carolina and
a. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania
are two other members of the com
mittee who have had wide political
experience.
