COLUMBUS, O., Feb. "a. - If
Harry M. Daugherty had been twins,
one of them would have been a poll
tician and the other of him a lawyer.
At least, that's the way lifelong
acquaintances of Daugherty size up
the man slated to be the next at
torney general of the United States.
The country within a year has be-

Daugherty, the politician-the guild

How Daugherty, almost single

landed the presidential nomination
for Harding is now established politi-

Climbed in Politics.
Daugherty started in politics bach
in his home town, Washington, C. II
as a young lawyer, graduating into
state politics and later into the ma
tional game, until now he has landed
on ''top O. the heap" as the "presi-
dent-maker"
But Daugherty, the lawyer, the
every day fellow, is a man with
whom people generally are not SO
well acquainted.
He doesn't mix law with politics.
He's almost like two separate men,
his friends say.
The other day, Daugherty, the
lawyer, had an important legal mat
ter to attend to in connection with q
case involving several millions.
So Daugherty, the politician, put
up the bars to the ever-present line
of politicians and jobseekers while
he dug into legal matters until 2
in the morning.
The next day he attended to the
matter in court, went back to his of
