Some months ago Mr.. Hilles bought
an extra supply Of stamps and be-
gan writing letters around the coun-
try. His innocent purpose was to get
the views of national committee men
and women about new national
chairman and other party matters.
He wrote to Mrs Whosis on the Pacific
Coast and, when he received her
reply, he wrote to Mr.. Whatsit in New
England and said Mrs. Whosis believed
such and such should be done.
Establishes Understa nding.
Soon he had established q mutual
correspondence understanding with
nearly every national committee man
and woman.
You can readily see where that put
Mr.. Hilles-right in the middle Of
everything
This state OF affairs was discovered
by the party insiders when they started
out few weeks ago to organize the
National Committee for election OF 4
successor to Sanders. They found Mr..
Hilles played his game carefully as he
always does. He had no candidate OF
his own. At least, no one was ever
able to find out that he had one. But
ne expressed in his correspondence
some very vigorous views about who
should not be chairman Of the Ma
tional Committee.
In short, Mr.. Hillss turned thumbs
dotpn on about halt q dozen aspir-
ants ,Uho ,Dere trying to get sup
port from committee members. In
this NEARLY every one seems to
aoreeJ, Mr. Hilles had no personal
feelings, but Wds tDorking tor tbs
best interests OF the party.
Some OF those he turned dotDn
would be notorious misfts in tbs
eristing party situation.
Some of the readers of Mr., Hilles'
mind have an idea he would be
pleased by the selection Of either West
Virginia Committeeman Hallanan or
Henry Fletcher Of Pennsylvania. Both
fit the requirements of money and
common sense. although they lack q
publicity value which would 90 well
with the job.
Also, three dark horses are sup
posed to have bobbed up in Mr.. Hilles
correspondence. One Is from Illinois
another from Nebraska and q third
is supposed to be from Missouri. Their
names have not been mentioned pub
licly.
Talk About 1896.
II Is too early for any one except
Republican politicians to talk about
presidential candidates for 1885, but
they talk a good deal about it in an
of hand way.

sions Il Senator Arthur Vandenbere
OF Michigan. He Is one Of the young
Turks who did not like the way things
were going under the Hoover regime
There Is nothing in his Senate votes

as the conservative wing of the party
He is young, makes q good appearances
