WILSON, THE LEADER.
Why Men Cast Their Lot with Com
parativcly Unknown Man.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-One of the
success in life has been his ability 10
attract and retain the enthusiastic de-
votion Of other men. There is some
thing about the personality of the
man, mysterious something which,
for want of q better word, we call
personal magnetism, that binds to him
and his cause every generous soul with
whom he comes in contact All his
life Mr.. Wilson has been a sort of
storm centre about whom other men
have stood and contended. There
may have been dissensiOns on other
matters but always there has been
perfect accord among his associates in
love and loyalty to him.
This quality Of leadership was par
ticularly demonstrated in the pre-
convention presidential campaign.
Mr.. Wilson had been less than two
years in public life. He was known

President of University and yet. -

Conspicuous example in point is Jo-
seph r. Davies, Secretary Of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee and
manager of the western headquarters
Mr.. Davies had been chairman of the
Wisconsin State Central Committee
and in due time. succeeded to the ma
tionai craftsmanship. Wisconsin DEM
ocracy for years had been divided
and discouraged but. under the lead
ership Of Mr.. Davies, had become a
strong working fighting organization.
When the Wilson candidacy was an
| nounccd, Mr.. Davies and his successor,
Mr.. Frank B. Schultz, came out open
! ~ for Wilson and, as has been said
| literally burned their bridges behind
! them. They not only announced their
preference for Governor Wilson, but
plunged into the campaign and work
ed night and day not only in Wiscon-
sin but in adjoining states.

Alaska Eskimo. They spoke Eskimo,
though 1 thought detected some
Morse words. and they lived in the
typical Eskimo way. 1 visited 13
groups of these people who number
probably 1000 and saw 1000 Of them.
Ten of these groups or tribes hai

store of Mr.. j. NJ. Chandler on South
Main street, but escaped about 10
O'Clock when a clerk entered the store

the goods were somewhat tumbled up
when the store was closed for the
night and the extent Of his losses, if
any, could not be ascertained. How
the person got in the store is a mys-

nave been locked up in it when the
store was closed for the day. as
there was no place that he broke in.

posed investigation, and just prior

lantic City, dictated q letter to the
Democrats Of South Carolina. in
which he mapped out the line of the
inquiry and called upon all good citi-
zens to aid the committee in its work.
The assistance of the press Of the
State is also requested in order that
ample publicity may be given the club
rolls of the various counties with the
view Of ferreting out as many of the
alleged irregularities as possible. The
fact is emphasized that the primary
system Of the State must be preserved
and that the inquiry must be prosecut
ed to the end regardless Of whom il
may hurt.
Each county chairman is asked to
prepare club rolls and these, after be-
ing arranged alphabetically, are t., be
published in the home papers and cop
les are to be forwarded to the district
chairmen, who have immediate super
vision of the investigation. All good
citizens are asked to scan these lists
TO see that there are no duplicates and
that those voting are properly entitled
to do so.
The State is divided into two dis
tricts, with the Southern Railway
from Charlotte via Columbia to Char
lesion, the dividing line. A special
subcommittee, composed Of w. B.
Wilson, chairman; J. d. Bivens and
K. Nj. Jeffries, is appointed to secure

Vestigate all evidences of crookedness
east of this dividing line and includ-
ing the counties through which the
line passes, and Messrs. ]. B. Park.
chairman; T. B. Butler and j. NJ.
Grier are appointed members of a
similar committee to take charge of
the rest of the State.
THE meeting announced for We'd
nesday, September IL, is premature:

losing time from the important work
In hand, and, therefore, the commit
tee will not meet formally till the
