vWyHERE is one grave danger in the election OF
Charles Gates Dawes to the vice presidency
Of the United States Of America. and any
washington correspondent will agree.
1t might have the tendency to make the most
colorful figure in current American politics the
least colorful. II Dawes escapes the doom here
tofore camped on every other vice president
that Of obscuriy, he will achieve that which poll
tcians say is impossible.
Charles Gates Dawes, born SO years ago at
Marietta, o., is essentially man who gets things
done.
His life Is a running chain Of accomplishments,
a. opportunities seized and utilized. Essentially
he has been opportunist
rhere are some who say that Dawes election
indirectly resulted from his ability to swear They
saw that if he had not electrified the congressional
committee investigating war expenditures by
ocussing" he would not have been thrown into
the spotlight as he
This theory is given semblance of truth

nawes himself IT is called "A Journal of the
Great war;, and was written when Dawes was

and with purpose
General Dawes, now Vice President-elect Dawes,
has not chosen the route to fame and wealth
which so many successful men select. Where other
rich men chose their line~of endeavor early in
life and stuck to it, Dawes allowed his eyes to rove
about. much in the fashion OF cat looking for
mouse. when the cat sees the mouse it pounces
on it wherever it might be. When Dawes saw
an opportunity, regardless of whether it was in
his own profession of law, he bounced on It with
ell his force.

It was characteristic of Dawes. that on finish
ing His bar examination and failing to find any
thing in the city which interested him in the way
of business. he went to Lincoln. Neb, and there
hung up his shingle and broke into the profession
In Lincoln he first made the acquaintance and
formed a lifelong friendship with William Jen-
nings and Charles Bryan. the latter being the man
he defeated for the vice presidency. Here also he
became acquainted with a young army officer
named John j. Pershing. The two would eat
their luncheons in a 15-cent lunch wagon Later
in life, when both lived in Washington, occupy
ing high Places they lived together again.
Dawes remained nj Lincoln for seven years, but

and where he now is considered the first citizen.
He merged several gas and light companies
and soon became a power in the community. It
is said he made a half million dollars in the first
10 years out of college.
POLITICAL EXPERIENCE
At this time William Mckinley. friend of
Dawes father was trying to have himself nomi-
mated for the presidency. Dawes went to him
and pledged his support in Illinois. He went back
to Evanston and Chicago. and in some mysterious
way the Illinois delegation went to the convention
uninstructed and helped put Mckinley over. Just
how young Dawes was able to swing it no one
knows.
AS soon as Mckinley was elected Dawes let it
be known he would look at appointment as
controller of the currency with favor. Such move
Nas unheard Of and politicians stood about aghast.
But Dawes didn't care. He went after the job so
thoroughly no one dared to stand in his way and
he won.
He is credited by American historians with being
eminently successful in this capacity. While
in this job he learned lot about banking. In

Pershing whispered to Hartford to button Dawes

AS Harbord was buttoning the coat and telling
Dawes to quit smoking, Dawes said in voice
loud enough to be heard by his old chum, Pershng:
