In general appearanco Tumulty looks something like a fighting parson. You can see just by looking at him that ho has a big heart, but he has a way about him of a man who will stand a lot of jollying but no trifling, and who is not afraid to uso his fists upon occasion. Not Afraid of Anybody He is not afraid of any one, and that includes the president of the United States. The conversation had drifted to the kind of secretaries that President Taft had been burdened with and Tumulty said: "A secretary who is mealy mouthed, who is afraid to speak his mind and say what he thinks is right, will hamper any executive will in the end do more downright harm than good." How much harm can bo done by an incompetent or indiscreet secre tary is fully realized by Tumulty. He has made a careful study of the various causes which contributed to the success or failure of every ad ministration since Lincoln. He knows to what an extent the wreck of Mr. Taft's administration was due to the light in which the ex-president was shown by his own spokes men. Mr. Taft was singularly un lucky in his choice of secretaries. , "When he was appointed secretary to the governor everybody predicted that one so young and inexperienced would fail ignominiously. That was two years ago and .people did not know Tumulty. Now the same men are saying that he will make a tre mendous success of his new job. In any case he has the well wishes even of his political enomies. I asked Tumulty what he read and what his favorite recreation was. Ho told me that he read politics, mostly, and that his favorite recrea tion was politics. Just then Mrs. Tumulty came In and said that she thought her husband worked, ato, played and read politics to the ex clusion of everything else, and he smiled and went over and held up one of the children for her to kiss. Then ho admitted that, his family and his work aside, he was fonder of the theatre than of anything else. He likes music, but it must be good music. lie likes a good, clean, whole some play; there may be as much comedy about it as the author chooses, but it must be free from all vulgarity. He is the kind of play goer who loves the theatre and finds mighty few shows that he really ap proves of. To complete the picture, Tumulty is as simple in his dress as he is democratic in manner. He wears a plain brown suit of clothes, a com fortable turn-down collar and a black tie. He wears no jewelry except a wedding ring and is as unostenta tious as it is possible to bo. Ho is not fond of society, and will prob ably spend more time in Washington at the National Press club than he will in the drawing-rooms of the so cially elect. In this ho will differ from his predecessors, who have al ways attached much importance to the social side of their official life. There are three classes into which men who have served as secretaries to the presidents may bo divided. Some were merely private secretar ies, like Carpenter; others were pub lic secretaries, like Hilles; a few have been real assistant president, like Dan Lamont. Joseph P. Tu multy will be found in the latter class.
