FAT. DAYS NOW FORI POLITICAL BROKER.
From All Directions They Are FIocking To Washington
 To Sell Services
By RAYMOND CHAPTER CLcased Wire To Agc-Heraldo

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-With the big league presidential candidates amalgamating their campaign forces, these are the fat days for the polltl- cal brokers, those mysterious 1nd1- viduals- who appear from nowhere just before each presidential cam paign, to bargain with the various political managers.
 Every train brings in more of them to Washington to interview the man agers of the several candidates. Some are men of national influence. Others have considerable power in their own states. Some have a bare handful of heelers at their command. Others are downright fakes, who sell beautiful engraved political stock, which rarely pays dividends.
 Due to the formal launching of the Presidents campaign last week, the White House and the Coolidge polit- ical headquarters, few squares away, have been literally beseiged by these brokers for the last few days. A political broker must remain with in his own party, 1of-course, but that is the only limitation. He may work for a reactionary in one campaign and a progressive in the next. He may work for a progressive before the nominating convention, and then, his candidate failing to go over, hire out to the conservative nominee.
 One of Hiram Johnson's managers in 1920 who delivered a speech for Johnson at Chicago on the day before the convention, turned up a week later as a strong Harding man and continued so until the late Presi-

The intermediate plan was to pay one-third of the income from these various sources to the govern ment," the final plan one-half. A raiding squad, consisting of a gov ernment man, state law enforce ment officer and a deputy sheriff should be organized under the direc- ton of the district attorney and used to put the "outlaws" that is those who did not come across with protec- tion money, out of business.

dents death. Now he is back with Johnson. One of Taft managers in 1912, the man who rounded up the southern delegates and thereby caused Roosevelt and Johnson to re- volt, is now associated with Johnson This man is an able politician and his services are eagerly sought by candidates just before each presiden- tial contest.
 Like lawyers, the political brokers have little interest in the issues be- tween the candidates. Their first consideration is the welfare of their clients, and, like lawyers, they are necessary if one desires to win. Some hire out for cash fee, some on the promise of a cabinet post or other honor if all goes well. and some on the understanding that their friends will be suitably rewarded.
 Coolidge naturally attracts many of these manipulators because of the power which the administration has to reward faithful service, and be- cause of the large campaign chest which will be available for his cam paign. His manager, William M. But Ter is a millionaire several times over. and he has friends who are equally affluent.
  President Coolidge is subjected to Il polite form of political blackmail, the same as every other President.
 One western politician, a power in his state, has a representative here working to secure him federal ap- pointment. This politician, former progressive, has sent word through his local agent that he is undecided whether to support Johnson, or Cool fdge, the idea being that If he gets the appointment he desires he will do all he can to swing his staff for Coolidge. Tn another state, a federal office holder and the national committee man head rival factions of the party Each has seen here backing his can didate for a federal job. The office holder intimates that he alone can swing the state organization for Coolidge and the national committee man calls later with the same inti- nation. Coolidge probably will de- eide the matter by selecting third man,
