The Chairmen and the Campaign.

Ihe Cha1rmen and the Campaign.
As rule, the chairmen IF our ma
tional committees, or of our\ congres-
sional campaign committees, have not
participated in the speechmakiag. fea-
ture Of political work. Leaving 6ratory
to Others they have addressed them
selves solely to organization labors,
and to assigning orators to oratory.
This year it is different. We are
witnessing a new departure. 1t SO hap
pens that the two national chairmen,
and the two chairmen of the congress
sional campaign committees, are ex-
cellent speakers, and are exercising
their talents in that line as we'll as
their talents in other lines.
Mr.. Hays has been heard from a
number of times. At republican state
conventions and at club gatherings he
has addressed large crowds, and been
much applauded.
Mr.. Mccormick has not spoken so
often. He is very busy with war work.
But he has had his say, and may say
it again before election day.
Mr.. Ferris of the democratic con-
gressional committee by a speech in
the House quite recently drew the fire
Of his opponents, and contributed

controversy. The deliverance is. GER
tain of wide campaign circulation.
Mr.. Tess of the republican commit
tee has had his say, and said it we'll.
He is practiced speaker, and familiar
with the subjects of greatest interest
to the public today. Were he not
charged with other duties, he might
easily become one of his party's most
effective stumpers in the present cam
paign.
Mr.. Hanna, who, as general manager,
did such notable work for his party,
did not discover or disclose his talent
for public speaking until after the first
Mckinley campaign. But when he
found his voice he made excellent use
of it, and became very persuasive and
successful speaker. In a short time
after entering the Senate he had taken
rank as one of the best debaters in
that body.
J. W. Babcock, to whom his party
owed much in its congressional cam
paigning, was, in the main, a silent
man. He was solely and essentially an
organizer, and as such became familiar
with every section Of the country in
its relation to national legislation, and
in its political leanings toward issues
as they appeared and demanded action.

flight and landing of a sweet potato

The car was going gayly down

sweet potato came whirling through
an open window, missed an elderly

on the shoulder of the conductor.
There you have all the elements for

And he does it, as follows:

WAR NEWS CONTINUES FAVOR.
ABLE

The daily papers arriving yester-
day evening continue to bring news
OF the success OF the allied force In
the big world war. According to this
late information It appears there is a
strong probability of the American
and French armies trapping the
Crown Prince of Germany and his
army of 100000 men. although ex-
perts state that II is likely many OF
the Germans may get away. The al
lied forces have this number OF the
enemy in pocket and are closing In
on them. In addition to this the Ger
man supply centers are threatened
and some have actually fallen into
the hands of our men.
Should the allies succeed in cap
turing the Crown Prince and his
army II will be one of the greatest
victories In the history OF the war
and Will be the means OF Fastening
the end-in fact will be the begin
ming of the end. even II il has not al
ready started.
The allied armies have been the
aggressors during the entire week
and are making great headway to-
ward pushing the enemy back and
gaining important ground. Many
prisoners have been taken together
with equipment.
