HIS honest FACE WON PLACE
FOR Representative DOREMUS
Samuel G. Blythe Tells How
Michigan, Man Came to Be
Made Chairman Of Con-
gressional Campaign Com
mittee.

Frank Z. Doremus, representative fronf
Michigan, was chosen chairman of the
Democratic National Congressional Cam
paign Committee because he looks so
blamed honest that he could get trusted
for ride on q pay-as-you-enter street
car. says Samuel G. Blythe in the Satur-
day Evening Post Also because he is a
stable politician, who knows his way
about and because President Wilson
wanted him on the job.
Honesty having been discovered to be
the best politics, the Democrats in the
House of Representatives have decided
to go the limit on 1t, and In these days

honest-faced campaign chairman. Hence
Mr.. Doremus was picked. Besides, Mr..
Wilson picked ,him-liked his looks, and
sent word to the majority members that
he would gladly recommend Mr.. Doremus

insisted upon Mr.. Doremus' appointment
Had Trying Experiences.
This being only his second term in the
House, Mr.. Doremus Is rather green for
such a responsible position, but he got a
lot of experience out in Detroit, where
he did q few things, and he brought 1t to
Washington with him. When he was a
boy in Michigan he decided to start q
paper OF his own; SO he started II. He
bought few cases OF type and some
junk that had been printing press-and
he had a hard time. When he had be-
come calloused to hard times the paper
was standing on its feet Then Doremus
went to Detroit and studied law, stimuli
taneously enjoying more hand times. until
presently he struck vein of luck. He
was appointed corporation counsel and
began to receive pay with reasonable reg
ularity.
I One OF the first things that Doremus
did was to interfere with the city al
dermen and their time-honored pre-
rogative, which is slang for graft. The
aldermen didn't like 1t, but the tax
payers were tickled to death. And as
time wore on Doremus lived UP to

NEW SWEET POTATO DISEASE.
Foot Rot Prevalent in Several
Places I'm Virginia.

A new disease, the foot rot of the
sweet potato, recently has been dis
covered by the pathologists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, which
threatens to materially restrict the pro-
duction OF the crop in certain localities.
II was first observed On sweet potatoes
near the Dismal Swamp. Virginia, during
the summer Of 1872. At that time 1t was
believed to be very limited in Its dis
tribution, since search for II elsewhspe
was unsuccessful.
The next summer, however, II was
found in other parts of Virginia, namely.
at Cape Charles and Keller. At all OF
these places considerable damage was
done to the crcp.
The disease attacks primarily the lower
part of the stem from the soil line to
four or five inches above it. The fungus
kills the plants by the destruction Of the
epidermis or bark Of the stem. Some
times the organism may attack the vine
several feet from the hill, usually where
the leaf il attached. and from there
spreads in both directions.
