His talent for organization and his
three years of political experience
have made him 4 man Of resources.
His campaign In behalf Of the candi-
dacy Of President Taft up to date
has shown his ability to handle the
difficult task with which he has been
intrusted. So this year we are Offer
ed the novel sight OF two men. who
four years ago were unheard of, lead
ing the campaigns Of the two leading
political parties. Each Is without that
training which politicians Of the old
school always thought necessary.
The launching Of a third party has
also thrown into the political limelight
of the nation young men of limited po-
litical experience, One Of them is Hi
ram W. Johnson. governor Of Califor-
mia, n Of Roosevelt's main support
ers at the Republican convention. An
other is William II. Hotchkiss. New
York state superintendent Of insur-
ance under Governor Hughes. Both
are now leaders in the third party.
Then there's IIadley Of the new
crop. He wouldn't take the nominal
ton for vice president with Taft 1t
scarcely needed the Chicago conven-
ton to introduce Hadley to the coun-
IT,. He was n Of the "seven little
governors" He fought hard for
Roosevelt at Chicago. lie got an ova-
ton that strained things in the Roose-
welt camp.
Hadley was born in 1872 and was
only about thirty-five when he came to
New York and aroused the risibles OF
the Standard Oil crowd as he started
out to give them battle, a veritable
David against a Goliath. He Won.
Lea. the "Baby Senator"
When Luke Lea. newspaper editor
n born political fighter, became Unit
Ell States senator last winter ut the
age OF thirty-twO the state Of Tonnes
see could scarcely believe its ears. He
had studied law at Columbia. He had
gone home and got mixed in public
AFFAIRS. He started a new newspaper
in Nashville. and he advocated state
prohibition. He got into the Demo-
cratic convention that nominated Pat
terSOn for governor. Indeed. he seized
the gavcl OF the temporary chairman
ana made Patterson" He then de
stroyed Patterson later when the
governor paruoned Carmack's muir
derer.
y. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania
also attracted attention at Baltimore
by his advocacy Of Wilson's nominal
ton and his clear cut arguments on
the floor when d%ebatable points were
before the meeting. Palmer was born
in May, 1872, and left Swarthmore in
1871. He lives in StrOudsburg. Pa,

general political disturber ever since
Winston Churchill wrote his "Conis-

Hampshire progressive. He shook up

Some Who Figure In New York.
In New York state no young man In
public life has attracted so much atten-
ton In recent years as has Franklin d.
Roosevelt. fifth cousin Of Theodore"
who brought about the defeat Of Will
liam +. Shechan for United States SEN
ator and made himself a name as a
Democratic insurgent.
Assemblyman James w. Wadsworth
is Il young Republican who has recent
ly shown remarkable development. At
the age Of ~thirty-fve he is 4 prominent
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor Of New York. He
was twenty-Seven when he was first
elected to the assembly and only TWEEN
ty-nine when he was made the speaker
of that body. He held the Speakership
five years.
Another man. comparatively young,
who has broken into the limelight rs a
possible New York Republican gubcr-
Material candidate is Charles S. Whit
man. district attorney of New York
county. His handling Of the serious
charges made against the New York
police, in which Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker was arrested in connec-
ton with the murder of Il gambler who
was about to bare alleged ~crookedneSs
among the police. has made him IL ma
tional figure.
The Progressive movement is largely
responsible for the advent of many Of
these young men. 1t was the reform
element which made Seth Low a gen-
Grafton ago mayor Of Brooklyn. He
was then IL brilliant illustration Of the
young man in politics. The same UNI
dercurrent which now animates Il good
deal OF the so called progressive
thought has brought out Hunt, Jost
n Baker, mayors of Cincinnati, Kan
sas City and Cleveland respectively. In
another form it has brought McCombs
and Hillcs and Hotchkiss and other
men to the front.
Altogether this political seasons crop
of young men may be characterized as
unusually promising and In some re-
spects we'll beyond the average.

Verses 2O-24.-The penalty of indif-
ference.
Our lesson deals with some of the
reflections Of Jesus ut the close of his
extensive mission and that Of his diSci-
plls throughout C:lilee. There is a
note Of disappointment with the re-
suits achieved. "Upbraid." There was

tial campaign discloscs new po-
litical lights. men who have
been practically unheard OF
outside of their own states. An out
cropping of young men is especially in
evidence. 1t is a paradox that the
young man in American politics is as
old as politics itself. He Is at least as
old as the time of Alexander Hamilton.
Ever since his youthful genius made
him a most conspicuous man Of his
time. so far as & was concerned.
young men have been bursting into the
political life Of u country with a fire.
Quency that is almost chronic.
This year the younger element is we'll

tracted attention when the Democrats
nominated the New Jersey governor.

Combs with compliments after the
om1natlo He was later made chair
man OF he Democratic national COM
mlttee. He Is holding down the posi-
ton with a vigor which has made older
politicians sit up and take notice.
McCombs was a Princeton graduate
and a lawyer before he entered the ma
tional political ring. His first efforts In
politics bore fruit when Wilson was
elected governor Of New Jersey, but it
was not until the latter became the
choice Of the Democrats in Baltimore
that McCombs was recognized as a big
factor IN Wilson's success. 1t took the
country by surprise when the curtain
was thrown aside after Wilson's nomi-
nation and the u~nassuming person of
William +. McCombs was revealed as
being the power behind the scenes.
McCombs is only ~thirty-seven years
old and IN a very short time has be-
come almost a dazzling figure in Amer
lean politics.
HiIIes, Leader Of Republicans.
At the head Of the Republican ma
tional committee is Charles d. Hilles,
another young man, perhaps not so
young in years as in point Of service
In the national political arena. He
was much in the public eye as Presi-
dent Tafts secretary, but as head Of
the national committee his Importance
Is next to that Of Mr.. Taft himself. He
Is fOrty:fve years old.
He was head Of the New York Juve-
nile asylum in Dobbs Ferry, n. y,
when Taft "a for president in 1905,
but at that time he was known to but
few politicians. One Of them was Ar
thur I. Vorys, a Taft campaign man
ager. Mr.. Taft later heard Of him and
rendered to him the office of assistant
secretary of the treasury, to take
charge Of buildings, land purchases
and the like. Then he succeeded Nor
ton as the assistant president"
Big things arc expected from Hilles.
