'KeepA New HampSbirc on Map
A rather Significant and altogether
typical tale was told the correspondent
OF THE SUN AND NEW YORK HERALD by
Manchester business man who began
by insisting that he was mo friend OF
George Moses's," and, besides was
Democrat, o
you can't beat man like Nose, ~ he
said. you can damn him until you're
black In the face. and then go out and
vote for him because you know he's on
his Job and that he's for New Hampshire.
Why, Nose keeps New Hampshire on. the
map He's the grandest publicity agent
the State ever had.
"A friend OF mine who is Demo-
cratic leader In his town, had a son In
the United States Navy. The boy wanted
to be discharged from service and his
father wanted him to go into business
with him. Wen, we got together and put
II up to n Democratic member OF the
House Of Representatives After week
or so we got letter from the Congress-
man saying that he'd done all that he
could, and had even gone to Secretary
Baker and Joe Tumulty, and chat there
was nothing TO be done, The boy
would have to serve his enlistment out.
I'VE tried Senator Keyes, a Republic
can, and Keyes couldn't do anything for
us. Then. by gosh, we went to Nose,
don't like Nose, and my friend isn't in
love with him, and Nose knows it, But
we went to him frankly and he said:
"'Well, you men have your nerve with
you. Sure, I'll do what | can, but ydi
can't expect miracles. You know that
Pm about as popular with this Admin
istration as the Kaiser would be in Brus-
sells, Gosh, but you fellows get involved
with impossibilities.
well. we came back to Manchester
satisfied that the boy, would stay In the
navy But three days later we got a
telegram from Nose. II said that the
boy had just been discharged from the
navy and that he, Nose, had put the lad
on the train for Boston a few minutes
before writing the telegram,
Now you can't beat cuss like that.
My friends having a devil Of a time be-
tween party loyalty and gratitude to
Nose, The boy will vote for the Sena-
tor, Of course. and lot of his friends
will too"
A former follower OF Theodore Roose
welt In Concord told another story about
the prowess of Senator Moses.
II never supported Moses In my life
worked against him, in fact he said,
81 expected to work for Spaulding this
time. But, listen, A cousin Of mine
wanted to enter his son in Annapolis,
He came to me and l wrote to Senator
with lots OF friends Keyes reported
that his list OF appoirtees was ex-
hausted | didn't like TO- but appealed
to Moses. Moses Immediately replied
that he had no vacancies and would |
have none unless one Of the boys he |
sponsored funked out. Briefly he as
sured me that in such a case my |
cousins boy would get his chance. And, |
by George, one Of Moses's appointees did |
funk out and instantly VIC received word
that our boyw named as the guccessor.
Now we don't know how Moses gets |
away with the things he does. but he
does, and we admire him, oven II we do
not like him. I'm for him en- that alone,
Labor leaders say that they like |
Moses despite his blacklIsting by Com
pers They asked Moses where he stood
en- the anti-strike clause in the Esch-
Cummlns bill and Moses replied by wire
Pm for It,"
"Well. we're against you, then" tele-
graphed back the Central Labor Union
in Manchester, "an6 Wen try to defeat
you for reelection"
"If my sta I'd on the Esch-Cummins
bill Is the reason for my defeat" in
Itantly replied Moses II shall glory in
that defeat"
And then, by gosh" said the labor
leader. reclting the above to THE Sun
AND New YoRK HERALD man, Nose gets
back pay for twelve soldiers and back
for six war widows-all Of
them members Of or widows OF members
Of the Central Labor Union. And he
got it after we three-fourths Of us DEM
ocrats and sworn TO beat him, had made

partment He's wonder. He'll do
wonderful favors for you, no matter
who you are, and at the same time bswl
you out If you try to argue him away
from his own political convictions"
Any number of tales or this sort are
to be found In New Hampshire. Moses
goes about New Hampshire insisting
that Gov. Cox and Mr. Spaulding are
one on the treaty, and casks folks to
reason why they should vote for Spauld-
ing and Harding when the former can
not support the latter~iR Congress. He
talks tariff and finds a responsive voice
