BY the Associated Press.
Two Of 1865 biggest jobs-directing
the publicity for the Republican and
Democratic parties-are in the hands
of two men of small stature.
But there the similarity ends between
Ted A. Huntley and Charles Nicholson,
the former a newcomer to his Repub-
lican post, the latter somewhat of q
veteran in his Democratic position.
Nicholson parts his shaggy hair IL
the middle. Horn-rimmed spectacles
hang on his nose. He slouches in his
chair and usually works without coat
with his sleeves rolled. His pencil is
balanced behind an ear and a cigarette
bangles from the corner of his mouth.
His voice Is slow and rasping. but
one gets the impression of unlimited
nervous energy. He has broad smile
and is renowned story-teller. He can
be sarcastic and bitter and ironical.
Nicholson was born In Virginia City,
New, and many Of his 66 years have
been spent as a newspaper man. Dur
ing the Spanish American War he was
correspondent for the New York
journal. He came to the Capital as .
writer for the Chicago Herald and later
with the New York World.
Evening star., 1936-03-13

He likes chess and does not care for
social life. He is credited with having
an astute political mind.
Huntley is an immaculate and con-
servative dresser. His desk is as neat
as his person. The papers on it are
arranged in trim stacks and the pen
ellis and pens lie in careful rows.
Huntley's voice is deep and full and
he speaks rapidly. He lights three or
four cigarettes a day to be sociable,
but does not smoke them. He does not
like politics.
Although he has always registered
as Republican he once wrote The
Life of John w. Davis" but the roy
alties from its sale went to the news
paper for which he was working.
He says the Nation is tired of polit-
ical blasts and voluminous statements
from politicians. He plans to handle
Republican publicity "along different
lines" details Of which he refuses to
discuss now. B
He was born in Greenyiile, Mich,
spent his boyhood in Pittsburgh and
his first job was on a Wyoming SEMI
weekly paper. He came to the Capi-
tai Is years ago and spent IL years in
newspaper work before becoming Sec
retary of former Senator Reed, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania.

Nolen also discussed the proposal

advocated a subway north of Penn

Nolen said the Planning Commis-

clared. adding that the best way to
correct this is to have trafic officers
stationed at the busiest corners.

WEDNESDAY,. JANUARY aS, 1886

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1886 Good and evil planetary influences contend today, according to astrol- ogy. It is primarily time for con- structive and progressive work, but temporary obstacles may be encoun- tered.
 Surgeons are to benefit and new wonders in their ability to relieve human sufferings will be revealed. Hospitals will be overcrowded dur ing the next few months.
 Women today are subject to friend ly stars that encourage them in whatever pertains to the home and especially to hospitality. Parties of every sort should be successful.
 There is a sign read as indicating too much interest in cards among American women. Playing for hign stakes will mark certain groups in leading cities, especially San Fran cisco and Washington, D. c.
 The spirit that inspires games of chance will be strong and will af- feet persons in all walks of life lis winter. Horse races will lure money from many pockets, and a woman will win big purse. Danger of loss es by persons who cannot afford them may be widespread. Girls may find this lucky day for writing and receiving letters. Good news is forecast for many For few unexpected journeys are prognosti- cated.
 Women who live on farms will be fortunate at this time when they should profit through unusual condi- tionS.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fulfillments that bring money. Speculation may be lucky. but the wise will be care ful.
 . Children born on this day prob- ably will be imaginative and intel lectual. Subjects of this sign may have unusual psychical gifts.

A UNITED FRONT.

The successful, harmonious and productive con- vention of the Democratic Party of Alaska held at Seward in which all Divisions of the Territory were personally represented and in which practically every phase of industry and labor in the Territory ade quaey represented by delegates augurs well for the continued success of the party in Alaska
 Despite the wide range of varied interests in the Territory. and sectional problems that tend to com plicate issues the delegates, backed by outstanding results of the Territorial National Administration during the past three years under the Democratic Administration placed party loyalty above minor diff ferences at all times eliminating in a unanimous adoption of the clearcut progressive platform which printed in full in yesterdays Empire, and which is worthy of the intelligent study of every voter, regardless of party affiliations.
 The platform, adopted, among many other pertinent issues points out that in the three short years of the present Administration Alaska has made its greatest progress and refers to the many benefits the Territory has received under Democratic rule.
 The determined united front evinced by the Demo- crats from all parts of the Territory strongly indi- cates that party will indulge in a vigorous campaign and will be content with nothing less than victory.

Cleveland Plain Dealer)

The nation would have welcomed message with more detail MT. Roosevelt perhaps claims too much and admits too little He offers cheer for social deaists than for harassed taxpayers. Some may say that the anti-NRA decision of the court had to do with the progress of recovery than the MIRA itself
 In spite of all this however the Presidential sage is obviously the utterance of whose confi- dence unshaken either by the buffetng of industrial stress the bitterness of partisan strife It hearted declaration of purpose by who facing the crisis of long career, comedies nothing to his foes rededicates himself to "a rounded and permanent national life"
 Such confidence begets confidence Most Americans hearing this address will welcome it's determination to advance boldly without thought of retreat

gress During the past two weeks bonus bill has passed both houses been vetoed again by President Roosevelt and re-passed his veto with a heavy majority,
 So the veterans going to get their bonus. But what they going do with it and will the benefits offset the cost it will be to the nation?
 An interesting survey has been made by the Amer- can Legion Monthly which is circulated Legion members On basis of 4250o replies to questionnaires sent "at random certificate holders by the maga zine it is estimated that than half of the eligible veterans are troubled by old debts that virtually all o them plan to do something about acquiring lnl- proving homes if they get the money Their third ranking ambition is indicated to be the purchase or re-equpment of motor cars With 35l8lsl outstanding certificates with net value of s5657 the monthly estimated that merchants and retailers Of the country will receive total payment of s623 615 79386 from 1S97 836 debts incurred After payment of past due obligations the greatest bulk of the bonus money according the survey Will go into items related to home life IL is estimated that more than 34 percent of the approximately two billion re- quired pay off the bonuses will for this purpose Other estimates on how the bonus will be spent, in cluded in the survey.
 For motor vehicles and accessories six percent of the total clothing for personal use, and half per cent clothing their families per cent pendture for investment and their business seven per cent: all other expenditures, including insurance education savings accounts and miscellaneous items. 12 per cent
 Thus it is evident that the big majority of the bonus cash is going back into circulation It is bound to stimulate business which already is feeling the eI- fleets of returning prosperity but whether that stimu lation will be worth the price of having to raise the funds at this time matter of conjecture The nation will watch with great deal of interest what method the Congress uses to raise the money float the baby bonds.

 The soldiers bonus been headache to every President for the past 16 years. Four used veto power in effort to stave off the demands of the veterans. Twice the Presidents position sus- tained and three times it reversed by Congress.
 President Harding the first to face the music In 1922 four after the ended Congress passed the first bonus It provided four df ferent types of optional settlements which the allowed to elect: Adjusted service pay pad-up endowment insurance; vocational training aid and farm home aid
 On September 19 of that year, Harding vetoed the act and his veto was sustained In 1924 Congress passed bill which had as it's object the issuance of adjusted service certificates It became law after Congress had overridden President Coolidges veto May IS, 1924
