Exposure Was Not Looked For
For this story of the relation of poli
tics and medicine the Medical Journal
vouches A physician was summoned
in haste to attend the child of a fam
ily that lived in two rooms in the heart
of a large American city not New York
The child had been seized suddenly and
seriously and just at election time the
mother was in despair and when the
doubtful prognosis was given she broke
into wailing and violent self-condemnation
for some horrible sin of the family
to which she said the childs illness
was due a direct punishment for their
crime She would go and curse the
magistrate for it all her husband
should resign from the force and
such evil ways should be renounced
forever Curious to know how the mag
istrate could be held responsible for
the childs illness the doctor finally se
cured the confession that the crime of
the poor conscience stricken woman
consisted In allowing the name of many
fraudulent voters to be registered as
resident in her house in swearing to
the lie etc The magistrate also had
demanded this of all the neighbors in
return for indescribable political fa
vors The child recovered and the mag
istrate paid the physicia oil Phila

organization quite as elaborate and com
plicated as that required to carry on the
most extensive of- modern enterprises the
collection and expenditure of a sum of
money so large as to require seven fig
ures for its expression the selection and
employment directly and indirectly of
thousands of workers the gathering and
dissemination of special information on
a scale not less extensive than that of a I
great telegraphic news association and j
a hundred other things beside none of
which can safely he intrusted to anyone
not an expert in his line
Until 1S9G campaign headquarters were
invariably established in the city of New
York and according to an unwritten rule
they were almost always located in a
four story house on Fifth avenue That
year however both parties broke away
from the old order of things and housed
their chief headquarters in Chicago
though each committee perforce main
tained a branch in the metropolis In
Chicago the forces of both committees
were quartered in modern office build
ings in New York the Republicans took
one whole floor in a handsome white mar
ble structure on Union Square while the
Democrats occupied rooms in a well
known hotel not a stones throw away
The headquarters of a national cam
paign committee must of necessity be al
most as extensave as big railroads ex
ecutive offices since room must be af
forded for half a dozen different sets of
employes besides suites for the various
committee officials
Tilt STATISTICIAN
and distribute the leaflets the tracts the
pamphlets the handbooks and the post
ters wTiich campaign committees invaria
bly and perhaps rightly consider of such
vast importance They have a big job
on hand as will be readily understood
when it is known that in 1802 the Re
publicans put out upward of 100000000
separate documents more than one and
a third for every man woman and child
in the United States at a cost for print
ing of almost 200000 and nearly as
much more for distribution
It has commonly though not always
been considered good committee practice
to issue translations into almost every
European language of nearly all the doc
uments got out in English and the trou
bles of the functionary who has to look
after this job are simily indescribable
To begin with he is generally and of ne
cessity ignorant of the languages into
which the documents are to be translat
ed and therefore quite incompetent to
judge the ability of those whom he has
to ensago as translators of their work

when it is finished IBs only safety lies j
in engaging two persons familiar with
each of the unknown tongues into
vchich the matter is to he done One of
these he intrusts with the translation
the other examines it carefully when fin
ished to seetliatrno error has been com
mitted
Campaign committees are generally ex
tensive patrons of what might by a
stretch be termed the arts and also of
what its writers fondly believe to be
poetry
Under the head of the arts may be in
cluded the millions of candidates por
traits which are put out under commit
tee auspices also the cartoons dia
grams maps badges pins and buttons
and the like Opinions differ as to the
value of such things in the getting of
votes but committees always spend thou
sands sometimes hundreds of thousands
in this direction
Most committees buy campaign sonjr
pretty freely and it is agreed on all
hands that a taking composition set to
stirring music is a mighty good invest
ment whether the poetry is very good or
not The poetry Font to the committee

and if arrives at headquarters in whole
sale quantities daily is generally in the
form of songs It need hardly be j tateJ
that most of it is written by persons who
have never learned to scan their lines and
have littie ideu of rhyme
Leaving out the chairman and possibly
the treasurer the functionary in charge
of the speakers bureau sees more grief
probably than anj other committee offi
cial and his department is one of the
heavier committee expenses There are
always hundreds of real and alleged ora
tors in touch with the committee The
more effective speakers generally give
their services to the party from a sense
of loyalty and because they know that po
litical promotion lies that way but near
ly all draw expense money and the ma
jority pretty poor speakers as a rule
draw salaries not large individually but
sometimes almost treasury breaking in
the aggregate
All these departments employ type-
WAITING TO SEE TDJE CHAIRMAN
in a sense the press bureau is next
in importance to the chairmans head
quarters since through it the reporters
and correspondents are furnished with
such news as the committee wishes to
give out This bureau however is only
a small part of the committees machin
ery fothe distribution of correct political
gospel The bureaus relations are main
ly with the telegraphic news associations
the metropolitan papers and the special
correspondents The country journals
are fed with political news through the
medium of the big ready print publish
ing houses and the concerns which sup
ply plate matter copy for the ready
prints and the plates being furnished by
an editoriataff employed especially for
that purpose
But both press bureau and ready print
matter departments sink into insignifi
cance compared with the document
mill It is the function of this depart
ment which employs a writing and edi
torial staff of ita own to compile print
writers and stenographers and clerks and
messengers in numbers Many of the
clerks are employed because of political
pull but the stenographers and typewrit
ers get their jobs on their merits Wom
en typewriters are seldom in evidence at
committee headquarters
Of course money in wads and rolls end
bags is needed to keep the committee de
partments mentioned and others of
which there is no room to speak in op
eration and the real storm center of ev
ery national campaign committee is the
treasurers office flow he gets his cash
nobody but himself ever knows in full
and there is no doubt at all that he and
his coHectors more often than not po
litical stars of the first water are driven
to their wits ends to gather the needful
Presidential candidates themselves have
rarely made heavy contributions for the
reason among others that they have
rarely been able to do so It may be
mentioned in passing that while presi

REPORTS DAMAGE TO WHEAT
Snows Crop Bulletin Says Condition
Is Unsatisfactory
Snows crop report says Up to June
1 the actual damage to spring wheat was
slight but the plant had reached a posi
tion where without full and prompt mois
ture relief it would deteriorate rapidly
With the exception of a few counties in
southwest Minnesota and adjoining terri
tory in South Dakota and that portion of
North Dakota lying west of the Red river
valley the amount of moisture yet receiv
ed is small It may be safely statexl that
only in a very few districts in the States
in question is the- present situation satis
factory and that the crop over very im
portant districts is still in danger of rad
ical damage unless it soon receives a gen
erous wetting down With a dry seed
bed and a dry month of May it will take
more than scattered passing showers to
put the crop out of immediate danger
The fact is that spring wheat is now just
entering the period when dry weather
and high temperature are naturally due
I and it is entering this trying season with
less reserve strength and vigor than usu
al Since public and private crop reports
for June 1 are gathered the last week in
May for the following month forthcom
ing reports of condition will not fully rep
resent the actual situation at this date as
the positive deterioration since the first
of the month
Winter wheat harvest is beginning
with the certainty of crop failure in the
Ohio valley offset by great claims in
Kansas Kansas promise however is
not always fulfillment In 1S9S the June
average for that State was 104 promis
ing 100000000 bushels The condition
reported after harvest was only 97 and
the actual crop onrj 6o000000 bushels
