In a buret of confidence, follolnt; a Ion
d.iy of devotion to tho connlderatlon of
i soluble puzzles In practical polltlcw, In
l io nrtilut of tho rurnpalgn of 18'JtJ. tbo Hon.
i. arciiH A. Hanna declnrud that of all tue
Jobs ho had ever tackled, the chairman
i.,iip of a national campaign committee
.as by Ions odds tho worst. Then after
t, plctures(uo recital of Borne of tho exaap'T
ttlng, brain racking experiences through
vhluh he had recently passed, he made the
unqualified statement that no Imaginable
.nulduratlon would Induce him to attempt
the. management of n Kecoud presidential
c.impalgn. Yet, there nro plenty of Indica
tions that unlcwi bis health shall fall hf
will enter tho campaign this year with as
much heartlnnRs as hn did four years ago.
As to tho trials and difficulties which bc
fct a national campaign committee chair
man, them Is probably no man living that
has been through them who would disagree
with Mr. Hanna. Leaving the political work
out altogether and considering It solely from
the business point of view, tho conduct of
a presidential campaign- committee Is an
nppalllng proposition, especially of late year?.
It, Involves the creation of an executive
organization quite as elaborate and com
plicated as that required to carry on the
most extensive of modern enterprise, the
collection and expenditure of a sum of money
to largo as to reqiilro seven figures for lis
exprrfulon. the selection and employment,
dlroetly and Indirectly, of thousands of work
era, thn gathorlng and dissemination of spec
ial Information on a scalp not less exten
sive than that of a groat telegraphic news
association, and a hundred other thlngn he
ldc, none of whlrh can safely be intrusted
to any one not an export in his line.
Moreover, tho organization of the com
tnlttrc'n forces lias to bo effected from
thn ground up, ub It were, and as Its entire
work must bo accomplished in a llttlo more
ihan four 10001111!, at tho outside, everything

(.'fimin liter Uc-mlqnnrtrra.
Until 1S06 campaign headquarters were
Invar'.'vbly established In the city of New
York, and according to an unwritten rule
they woro almost always located In a four
Btory ihouso on Fifth avenuo. That year,
however, both parties broko away from the
old order of things and housed their chief
lteaflquarters In Chicago, though each com
mltteo pcrforco maintained a branch In tho
metropolis. In Chicago tho forces of both
commlttceB -wore quartered In modern ofllco
bulldlngfi; In Now York tho republicans took
ono wliolo floor In n handsomo whltei marble
structure on Union Square, while tho demo
crats occupied rooms In a well known hotel
not a stone's throw nway.
Tho headquarters of a national campaign
comcnltteo must of neccwlty bo almost as
extensive as a big railroad's executive of
fices, slnco room must bo afforded for half
n dozen different sets of employes, besides
unites for tbo various committee oinclals. In
18PB Chairmen Hanna and Jones wero pro
vided with largo airy roomw both In New
York and Chicago, but in 1S!)2 It was dif
ferent, Chairman Carter of tho republicans
being content with ft hall bedroom for tin
ofllco and Chairman Harrlty of tho demo
rats faring llttlo hotter.
Jn a sense, tho "press bureau" Is next
in Importance to tho chairmen's headquart
ers, slnco through It tho reporters and cor
respondents are furnlnhed with such news
pn tho committed wishes to give out. It
cannot lo revealing a secret to say that
national commltteo press bureaus are some
times managed about as Inefficiently as pos
sible. There havo been somo exceptions
to thin rule, but there Is hardly a. political
correspondent In tho business who cannot
ubstantlatn tho statement that as a general
thing tho commltteo press bureau Is the
most unlikely placo In tho world to look for
really Important news.
MnUlw: of Document".
This bureau, however, Is only a smalt
part of tho committee's machinery for the
distribution of correct political gtxtpel. The
liureau's relations ore mainly with the tele
Kraphle news associations, tho metropolitan
papers and the special correspondents. The
country Journals are fed with political news
through tho medium of tho big patent ln
Blilo publishing houses and tho concerns
which Mipply "plate matter." copy for the
"patents" nnd tho "plate" being furnished
iby an editorial staff employed especially for
that purpose. Often the "plates" and Fome.
times thn "patents" aro furnished to the
papers lit the committee's expense. One
year ono of tho great parties supplied be
tween 2,000 and .1,000 weekly newspapers
with virtually all their political rending In
this way throughout the entlro campaign.
rwhllo tho other party supplied perhaps two
thirds ns many.

Intimately connected with tho document

which prepares political reading matter for

Theso may seam like minor matter, but

will tiytlfy that It Is qulto possible to wosto
paper by tho ton when documents are got
out In million lots, unlet) careful attention
Is paid to size relations between pnges and
sheets. In one campaign not more than a
hundred years ago tho machinery for pro
ducing documents was so much moro effi
cient than the machinery for distribution
that Just before the end of the struggle It
was found necessary either to burn or send
to the Junkshop about two carloads of
printed matter so fresh from the presses
that tho ink was hardly dry.

Campaign committees are generally ex

be termed the nrto and also of what Its
writers fondly .bellevo to bo poetry.

Under tho head of the nrtt may bo In
cluded the millions of candidates' poM
traits which are put out under committee
auspices, also the cartoons, diagrams, maps,
badges (pin:? and buttons) and the like.
Opinions differ as to tno aluo of such
thing. In tho gutting of votes, but commit

tho heavy lus-ies if an entire year.
Naturally tho ton looey on the part of
committees to Indulge In "art" allt-jets
no end of cr.inks to submit no end of crank
designs. Every day from -ihe beginning to
the enil of the campaign the malls are laden
with them; every day tho public ro-nptlon
room Is crowded with men and 11 tprlnkllng

songs for tho lepublican commlttie In 1R06
tried to moke "hone' rhyme with "home"
and "gato" with "take." Mrtt committees
buy campaign fongs pretty frenly nnd It Is
agreed on all hands that n taking composi

Investment wheiher the poetry 1 very good

Is generally pretty heavy 1iy the end of the

than any other eommltte olflilal. and his
department Is one of the heaviir committee

committee. The more effective speakers

And, though no disrespect to the profes

be admitted, that, as n rule, the committee
spellbinders aro .1 rather hard lot to get
along with. One man who has had a good
deal to do with them asserts that they nro
as tiotlonnl as a lot of serowl-class star ac

fact that the poorest epeakers always want
to get the best places nnd are everlastingly
complaining of the treatment they receive.
On the oth"r hand, they sometimes have
good cause for complaint; ono speaker, who
gave up spellbinding for one of the commit

Of course money In wads and rolls nnd
bags Is needed to keep the committee de
partments mentioned nnd others of which
I there Is 110 room to speak, In operation, and
tho real storm center of every national
campaign committee Is tho treasurer's olllce.
How he gets his cash nobody but himself
ever knows In full and there Is no doubt
nt all that he and his collectors moro often
than not political stars of the first water
are driven to their wits' ends to gather tho
needful. Presidential candidates themselves
havo rarely mado heavy contributions, for
the reason, among others, that they havo
rarely been nblo to do so. There Is a
story, though, that Mr. Tllden contributed
more than l.'iOO.OOO in 187C and that Mr.
Blaine's contribution in 1SS4 was $100,000.
Slnco then no authentic news as to contri
butions from tho head of the ticket has
been allowed to leak out on either Bldo,
though it is understood that the vleo-presl-dential
candidates havo generally put up

Hobart was virtually In rhargo of tho
branch headqunrtors in Now York when
ever Mr. Hanna was in Chicngo, which was
moro than half the time nil through tho
campaign of ISOG.
(!i ing back to tho campaign funds, It may
be added that the chairman generally has
ns much to do with their raising as tho
treasurer anil the writing of Impassioned
appeals to tardy contributors has occupied
11 mi hi halt the tlmo of moro than one
committee head. Tho chairman la also
generally a member ex-olllclo of all tho
cummlttee's subcommittees, which vnry In
number and scope uf rourse from campaign
to campaign, but which rarely number less
than half a dozen and rarely met-t less fre
quently than onco a day. He is also of
necessity In close touch with tho commit
tee's secret servbo work In fact he Is
generally tbo only man In the outllt who
knows all Its ins and outs.
Little of all this would bo scon by tho
casiul visitor to committee headquarters.
He would have to havo a strong pull Indeed
to get beyond the outside reception room,
where congregate tho "poets" whoso bjors
have hen rejected, tho "artists" whoso
fnuk cjrtoons havo been turned down
and the motley hangorsou who yearn for
couimltUo Jobs. It seems to bo settled
committee pulley to provide at least ono
such roem for n elms of men who rcscmblo
the "setters" at the nTerngo country gro
cery more than anything else.
Should tho visitor's errand be Important
ho may possibly pass tho portnls, though
without previous pull, by making friends
with tho sergtMiit-nt-nrms whoso duty It
Is to loik after the pay roll, mako minor

ever Is left uniume by ovorybody else. As

IMiicntloii of Women.
Parents of daughters will turn with un
usual Intermt, sas the San Francisco
Chronicle, to a discussion which re ently
took placo between leading educators of this
country upon the advisable differences be
tween tho education of young women nnd
that of young men. Although the trend of
argument was opposed to coeducation, m
temperately were theso arguments ndvnnrod
nnd so sincere was tho appreciation of cer
tain advantages of coeducation, that tho
most ardent ndvocate of tho latter system
can find no offense In their perusal. The
main points mado by John Franklin
Ooucher, president of the Voman's col
lege of Baltlmoro and the leading speaker,
nro as follows:
"The object of college education Is not to
mnke a living, but to mako a life. It Is
the unfolding, by Instruction nnd training,
of the whole naturo toward Its highest pos

In nature, functions nnd Ideal, their cdu
cation should be Identical. If. on the other
hand, both naturo and Ideal In the ono
differ essentially from the other, tho ed
ucation should bo different nnd adjusted
with special consideration of earh. There
aro physical and psychical differences be
tween young women and young men. As
wo rise In the scalo of civilization the de
mands upon women concentrate more nnd
more, yet maintain ns great variety within
their narrower limits, while the demands
upon man are multiplied, but simplified by
processes of specialization.
"The attempts to educate young women
and young men ns ono usually nwuimoa that

alone in the estates of a woman's rnllego by
themselves."
