The Democratic Craftsmanship.

You pays your money. and you
takes your choice. Chairman Nc
Combs is on the eve OF reslgning his
Office. Chairman McCombS denies
having any such intention. A move
mcnt is on loot to force the CHAIR
man out. Details are wanting. and
as vet the yarn leads nowhere. When
Mr.. McConlbs goes out. Secretary
TuInulty will come in. Mr.. Tuml1lty
has heard nothing about the matter.
aud has 10 ambition i'll that direc-
ton. And 50 on II is all well
enough as entertainment. And warm
weather approaches.
As matter OF fact, what I'M
portance attaches just now to the
Craftsmanship OF the democratic ma
tional committee: At present the OF
fee carries no power. There VIII
probably lie no occasion for the COM
nlittee to meet again prior to the
holding OF the next national eonven-
ton except to arrange for that func-
ton: and that business can be dis
posed of in few hours. Naming the
day and place Tor the convention need
consume no great amount OF time.
There would be furry, of course.
should Mr.. McCombs step out and
Mr.. Tumulty step in. Such change
would be construed as confirmation
of the rumors of deep-seated dis
gruntlement on Mr.. McCombs' part,
and some anxiety on the Presidents
part.
1t is the new national committee
that will count. That body-not to be
chosen until next summer a year
will participate in the next campaign.
It's chairman, of course, will be
chosen by the presidential candidate
will be man holding close and
cordial relations with him.
Will not Mr. Wilson be the can
didate? Everything points that way.
If he should decline to run. the
declination would be read as a con-
fession of failure And in such cir
cumstances what would the nomina-
tion be worth to another? And what
other? Mr.. Bryan? If Mr.. Wilson
should confess failure for himself he
would confess it also for his premier.
Mr. Marshall? He would retire att
Dramatically with his chief. Mr.. Clark?
He has said that the nomination will
be worth nothing to anybody but
Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Underwood? His
strength would be negligible
Will Mr.. Wilson again select Mr..
McCombs for campaign manager:
He may not He may decide upon
new man. Mr.. Cleveland ran for
President three times. His first
manager was Mr.. German. his second
Mr.. Brice. his third Mr.. Harrity. The
relations between Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. German were little strained in
the first administration. and broken
entirely in the second. The relations
between Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Nc
Combs are not as cordial as they
once were, though their differences
have probably been exaggerated in
the telling for political purposes.
Looking elsewhere. Mr.. Wilson
could find competent man though
they are not as thick as blackberries
IN season. Managing presidential
campaign has taken on new Difficult
ties in the last score OF years. until
the task now is one OF the most tax
ing in politics. For one thing. large
sum of money is necessary; and in
collecting and spending that man
ager must walk chalk

MISLEADING LADY"
 AT POLI'S THIS WEEK

The Misleading Lady," by Charles Goddard and Paul Dickey, which had a long run in New York last season, is given this week by the Poli Play CTS at Polls Theater, Hartford. Dud- ley yres, the new leading man of the company, takes the leading role of Jack Craigen and plays the rather difficult part very convincingly. Mar guerite Skirvin is Helen Steel, the misleading young lady.
 Craigen has just returned from Pat agonia, and is one of the guests at a house party, at which Helen Steel is present. She leads Craigen, on q wager, to propose to her and arranges an audience, composed of the other guests. Craigen is naturally angry when they break in upon him, as he is proposing. when he learns the trick which Helen has played upon him.
