With Ziegler the way has been easy, and for him
work is not a necessity. lie does not have to
work. but the fact is that he has settled down to
the business of learning business since he left
Harvard two years ago. Ziegler is a young man,
and he knows that he is young man, and for that
reason he is very slow to express his opinions.
He has large head set athletes shoulders.
His voice is soft, but his glance is shrewd, and
he is determined without being stubborn. He
went boots and saddle into the Whitman campaign
because a good fight appeals to him. He was at
his desk in league headquarters every day, and
his efforts brought letters of praise from Charles
D.. Hilles, chairman of the Republican National
Committee; Frederick C. Tanner, chairman Of
the Republican State Committee; Francis NJ.

In the college mems campaign intelligence was
pitted against intrigue. The whole field of prac-
teal politics was ploughed. Oldtme workers saw
their methods improved upon. District leaders
and captains faced opponents equal TO the cmer-
gcnces Of getting out the vote, getting t into the
ballo. box, and getting it counted as the elcctor
intended The college men were ready for
fight on an academic proposition or a demonstra-
ton of physical fitness. The lobbygow of ward
politics ran into "highbrow" doing the menal
work as we'll as the mental. Strong arm stars Of
the gridiron and baseball diamond rushed the
guerillas and repeaters back to the woods.
The league had three thousand leaders in the

the state had branch organization of college
men Headquarters were established in New

night sending out material for campaign speeches
