Ills GENESIS.
Now these picketi men , theE'o survivals In

caine olmt on top. lIp developed a while ac-
qtialmitaiico. s'1io ' oml a talemit. for leaderohlp
anti an ability to make other imlen fohlos' him.
To tmse a trite pltmase , nothIng succeels
like smmccea. anti an gradually , other muon
vhmo did not particularly like Mr. Platt per-
imps. , t'it ' found th1ttnioro was to be gained
by following him thami fighting imim , and thiu
fell utmder 1mm leadership. In the course of
tlmno lie developed a retirmime of supporters
and friends anti ncqmmaintances , imutn who
looked to hIm to take the initiative. This Is
the soumrce of his power , just as It Is that
of all pohltital loaders' ' . Timlt , power Is real ,
It Is tangible , and It appeals to the strommgest
instinct. in a man's nature , 1mm love of
power. All of these contests from village
caucun to E'iate conventIon wore like so many
battles , that callcd into play oh thmo arts and
abIlIties of a general. They aroused and
satisfied the prImitive amid pum'ely savage
lIkIng which is u.trong in all non , a hove of
a tight. C'etL ha gueree !
Furthermore. there was at work time came
tendency or Instinct which you see everywhere -
whore at work , a blind searcim for a leader-
a head. And exactly the samne quality which
picked Mr. Platt out from the rest of his
fellow villagers in Tioga and made him sac-
cersfui in time village caucus , came into play
and gave him his suprenmacy in the larger
field of state contests.
here yOtI have tile entire genesis of the
machine and Its master. This machine is
nothing more than an. orgammization of men
who are acquainted. who come to know each
other thoroughly , who are united by mutual
likings and mutual interests. Anti its head
is slmnply a man of exceptional talent for
political organization and maoagemnent.
TWO REQUISITES
You ask , the politician went. on , just what
arc the qualities that make the leader or tIme
"boss. " I anower , first of all tills genius
for organization , anti second , keeping one's
word. Perhaps the last should be first ,
You will find in. the long ruum tlmat tIle mi-
mnomio power which certain men collie to
wield In a party organization Is due to the
absohmmtc confidence they inspire. They are
men who have miever in their whole lives long
betrayed a friend or gomie back on their wcrd
wimen it was once given. You know these
are just the qtiahitien wimich your irldcoent
reformer insists time party boss does not
possess. I speak by time card wimen I say
esacntlal. After
that they are an absoltmto

A CAS.1 IN POiNT ,
In illustration. let mc tell you a little mci-
lent. Last yearla secret camuibinatiomm was i
binned in Pennsylvania to "down" Quay , It
mfterwardo camne to be known ama time "hog i
omblno , " and so carefully was It nmanuey-
ed that aimnost halt of the delegates Imath

icon secured by o
uay became aware of its eximmtemmce. A lot- a
cr frommm tile conbtno to a rural fm-lend of Ii
lie senator's gave himn the first knowledge c
e had of the plot , W'lthi iiardly a word lie xi
at dowim amid cmi the back of an envelope a
enned title iottor : n
"I find unycelf unexpoctedmy precipitated a
into a struggle for mmiy iohltical life. I anm o
I candidate for mitsto citairimman. Camm I have c
rour auppart ? "
All the available stenographers of l'itil. r
mdelplmic were itlred axmd timourands upon ti
ltout'ondm , of coplea of this letter were cemmt C
iroadcast over the state , all personally
igned by Senator Quay , The first batch of p
ilCSO went out In tue unorning. Late that p
mlgitt caine timreo letteri , the first word of ii
eply. Ainiost exhausted by imia lommg day's t
york , thmo senator opened the first letter , c
I was in a girl's hand , and ran : ix
"Dear Senator Quay-Your : letter to father fi
ocehved , Father La dead , but woUter anti I a
and tlio hays are hero anti we wIll ee that
yell get the vote from this precinct. "
Halt a dozen polIticians , friends of Senator
Quay , were flrcsent at time timmie. and when the
letter "ins read I sb not think there was a
thy eye in the roomn , The senator rose anti
said rather imumekily , "Gentlemen , youm mmmay ro-
limb for tIm rest It you lIke. That letter
tells mime all I care to know , It tells tue I
am all right wIth time ; meopie. Good night. '
hum tlmo primiitrlos that followed the coma-
bino 'as siniply olillterateti amid Quay u'as
left more abiulmmtely the ummaster of hmi Purt ) '
thami every before.

It is , of course , perfectly easy for a rIch
mmian to set abnt to gaimu an cmce for himself -
self or for a friend , by time umso of mnommey
even though that otilce be time presidency.
