Washing ion, May 18.—In a burst
of confidence, following a long
day of devotion to the consideration of in
soluble puzzles in practical 1 olltics, in th©
midst of the campaign of 1806, the Hon.
Marcus A. Hanna declared that of nil the
jobs he hod ever tackled, the chairmanship
of a National Campaign Committee was by
long odd? the worst. Then after a pictur
esque recital of some of the exasporaiing,
brain-racking experiences through which
tie had recently passed, he made the un
qualified statement that no imaginable
consideration would induce him to attempt
the management of a second presidential
campaign. Yet, there are plenty of indi
dications that unless his health shall fail
4ie will enter the campaign this year with
as much heartiness as he did four years
ago.
As to the trials and difficulties which
beet a national campaign committee
chairman, there is probably no man living
that has been through them wno would
disagree with Mr. Hanna. Heaving the
political work out altogether and consid
ering it solely from the business point of
view, the conduct of a presidential cam
paign committee is an appalling proposi
tion, especially of late years. It Involves
the creation of an executive organization
quite as elaborate and complicated 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 figures for its expres
sion, the selection- and employment, di
rectly and indirectly, of thousands of
workers, the gathering and -disi/e ml nation
of special Information on a scale not less
extensive than that of a great telegraphic
news association, and a hundred other
things besides, none of which can safely

his line.
Moreover, the organisation of the com
tnittee’H forces has to be effected from the
gtuund tip, as it n etc, attu as its entire
work must be accomplished in a little more
than four months, at the outside, every
thing has to be done under the most In
tense and wearing pressure.
Committee Headquarters.
Until 1896 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 maintained a branc'h
In the metropolis. In Chicago the forces
of both committees were quartered in
modern office buildings; in New York the
Republicans look one whole floor in a
handsome white marble structure on Union
Bquare, while the Democrats occupied
rooms in a well known hotel not a stone’s
throw away.
The headquarters of a national cam
paign committee must of necessity be al
most as extensive as a big railroad's ex
ecutive office, since room must be afforded
for half a dozen sets of employes, besides
6uites for the various committee officials.
In 1896 Chairmen Hanna and Jones were
provided with large airy rooms both in
New York and Chicago, but In 1892 It was
different. Chairman Carter of the Repub
licans being content with a hall bedroom
for an office, and Chairman Harrlty of
the Democrats faring little better.
In a sense the “press bureau,” Is next
In Importance to the chairman’s head
quarters, since through It the reporters
end correspondents are furnished with
such news as the committee wishes to
give out. It cannot be revealing a secret
to say that national committee press bu
reaus are sometimes managed al>out as
Inefficiently as possible. There have been
some exceptions to this rule, but there Is
hardly a political correspondent In the
business who cannot substantiate the
statement that as a general thing the
committe press bureau is the most unlike
ly place in the world to look for really
Important news.
The making of Docnments.
This bureau, however, Is only a small
part of the committee's machinery for the
distribution of correct political gospel. The
bureaus relations are mainly with the tel
egraphic news associations, the metropol
itan papers and the special correspond
ents. The country Journals are fed with
political news through the medium of the
big patent Inside publishing houses and
the conoeins which supply “plate matter,"
copy for the ”iatenUi’’ and the "plates”
blng furnished by an edltorlnl stafT em
ployed especially for that purpose. Often
the “plates" and sometimes the "patenca"
are furnished to the papers at lhel com
mittee’s expense. One year one of the
gr-at parties supplied between 2,0*0 and
*OOO weekly newspapers with virtually all
their political reading In this way
throughout the entire campaign, while
the other party supplied perhaps two
thlrds as many.
Hut loth press bureau and plate matter
department sink Into Insignificance com
pered with the "document" mill. It la tlid
function of this department, which em

own. to oempilo, print and distribute the
leaflets, the tracts, the pamphlets, the
handbooks and the pesters which cam
paign committees invariably and perhaps

rightly consider of such vast importance.
DifFeient committees conduct their docu
ment mills differently of course; as a rule
most wastefully, so far as the manmac
turing goes, though this was not the case
on the part of th* 3 Republicans in 1836. The
genius in cla.ge of the document print
ing that year conducted the department
on strictly business principles, even to so
arranging th- size of pages In the va
rious documents and the number of pages
!r. eadh that sheets of caper 22 fcy 16
im hes in size could be used without waste
and documents of any given number could
be packed for shipment In cases of cer
tain standard sizes, also without waste.
These may seem like minor matters, but
even the layman will understand other
w se when the statement Is made that in
1592 the Republicans put upwards of 100,-
000,000 separate documents—more than one
and a third for every man, woman and
child In the United States—at a cost for
printing of almost *203,000 and n arly as
IN THE SPEAKER’S BUREAU.
(Wafers on the map show where political addresses are scheduled.)
much more for distribution. Any practical
printer or binder will testify that It Is
quite possible to waste paper by the ton
when documents are got out In million
lota, unless careful attention Is paid to
size relations between pages and sheets,
in one campaign not more than a hun
dred years aifo the machinery for produc
ing documents was so much more effl
eli nt than the machinery for distribution
that just before the end of the struggle
It was found necessary ebher to bum or
send to the Junkshop nhout two carloads
of printed matter so fresh from the presses
that the Ink was hardly dry.
For Voters W lio Don’t Head English.
Intimately connected with the document
mill, of course, Is the bureau department
which prepares political reading matter for
voters who have not mastered English—
The Finns and the Magyars, the Scandina
vians and the Bohemians, the Italians, the
Poles and all the rest of the European con
tingent.
It has commonly, though not always,
been considered good committee practice to
Issue translations Into almost every Euro
pean language of nearly all the documents
got out In English, nnd the troubles of
the functionary who has to look after this
Job are simply Indescribable. To Is girt
with, he Is generally and of neces Py Ig
norant of the languages Into which the
<kM.uup.uts are to be translated and there

fore quite incompetent to judge the abl
ity of those whom he has to eng .go as
translators of their work when it s fin

the translation; the other ex mines t ca o
fully when finished to see that no error ha*
been committed.
What was considered one of the most im
portant documents in one campaign cam*
near being a veritable boom* rang, so f*r
as the Finns were concerned. The ra a
lator understood Finnish all rizht but hl3
knowledge of English was limited and re
transformed affirmatives into negatives
and vice versa in a wholesale fashion that
made the document siand in Finnish for
exactly the reverse of what it stood for in
English. Fortunately the eriors were
discovered in time to prevent the distri
bution of any of the uncorrected copies of
the document, though not until after the
plates had been put upon thea)r<s and
about half a ton of good clean wbi'e paj er
had been spoiled. Documents in Geimai
and French are easily handled, of course,
and generally by special buretus.
Campaign Artists anti Poets.
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 poet
try.
Under the head of the arts may be in
cluded the millions of candidates’ por
traits which are put out under commitn-i
auspices, also the cartoons, diagrams,
maps, l>adges (pins and buttons) and the
like. Opinions differ as to the value oi
such things in the getting of votes; but
committees always spend thousands,
sometimes hundreds of thousands in this
direction. One portrait engraver known
to the writer delivered more than a mill
ion portraits of both the Republican and
Democratic candidates to the committees
in 1892, and his profits thereon were big
enough to make up for the heavy losses
of an entire year.
Naturally the tendency on the part of
committees to indulge in "art" attracts
no end of cranks to submit no end of
crank designs. Every day from the be
ginning to the end of the campaign the
mails are laden with them; every day rh* 3 .
public reception room is crowded with
men and a sprlnklng of women who pre
fer bringing their production in person to
intrusting them tp Uncle Sam’s mail. In
the nature of things not one in a thous
and of the submitted designs are accepted,
but a larger or smaller number generally
of surprising crudeness and lack of clev
erness are almost always taken over and
made use of in addition to those which
are done by professional cartoon draughts
men. A comprehensible collection of th-*
rejected ones would form a museum of
surpassing stupidity.
The poetry sept to the committee—end
it arrives at headquarters in wholesale
quantities daily—is generally in the form
of songs. It need hardly be stated that
most of It is written by persons who hove
never learned to scan their lines and have
little Idea of rhyme. One who assayed to
write songs for the Republican Commit
tee In 1896, tried to make "bone" rhyme
with “homo" and “gale” with "take.”
Most committees buy campaign songs
pretty freely and It Is agreed on all hands
that a taking composition set to stirring
music Is n mighty good investment wheth
er the poetry Vs very good or not. In
dignant and sometimes abusive letters
from geniuses whose "art” and “poetry"
have been turned down, make up a very
considerable portion of the committee's
mail from day to day. Naturally this sort
of mall grows ns the campaign progresses
and is generally pretty heavy by the end
of the contest.
Press bureau, plate department, docu
ment mill and the art and poetry divis
ions are naturally In control of tho com
mittee secretary, generally and on princi
ple, a much overworked man. The com
mittee's statistician, who is generally fig
uring nnd making tabulations of previous
votes fnom morning to night, Is also a
subordinate of the secretary.
The Spellbinder*.
Leaving out the chairman and possibly
the treasurer, the functionary In charge
of the speakers’ bureau sees more grief,
probably, than any other committee offi
cial, and his department Is one of the
heavier committee expenses. There are al,
ways of real and alleged orators
In touclr with the committee The more
effective speakers—the real genulne-gen
erally give their services to the party Horn
a sense of loyalty and because they know
that political ptomoilon lies that way, hut
nearly all draw expense money, and the
majority, pretty poor speakers as a rule,
draw salaries; not large Individualist, but
sometimes almost treasury breaking in the
aggregate.
Ahd, though no disrespect to the profes
sional campaign orator la Intended. It must
be admitted that, as a rule, the committee
Company's Extract
SAVES DOCTORS' BILLS
spellbinders are n rather hard lot to get
along with. One man who has had a good
deal to do with them asserts that they are
as notional as a lot of se< ond-cla?s star
actors. Tie is probably mistaken, but it is,
a fact that the poorest speakers always
want to get the places, and are ever
lastingly complaining of the treatment
they receive. On the other hand, they
sometimes have good cause for complaint;
noe speaker, who gave up spellbinding for
one of the commits es in 1596 because of
his treatment, was scheduled to speak at
2 o’clock in the afternoon, and at 8 o’clock
in the evening of the same day. the towns
in which he was to appear being seven
hours apart by rail.
All these departments employ type
writers and stenographers, and clerks and
messengers in numbers. Many of the
clerks are employed because of political
pull, but the stenographers and type
writers get their jobs on their merits.
Women typewriters are seldom in evidence
at commitiee headquarters.
Tle Sinews of War.
Of course, money in rolls and wads and
bags Is needed to keep the committee de
partments mentioned and others of which
there is no room to speak, in operation,
and the real storm center of every national
campaign committee is the treasurer’s
office. How he gets his cash nobody but
himself ever,knows in full, and there is
no doubt at all that he ond his collectors
—more often than not political stars of the
first water—are driven to their wits’ ends
to gather the needful. Presidential candi
dates themselves have rarely made heavy
contributions, for the reason, among oth
ers, that they have rarely been able to do
so. There is a story, though, that Mr.
Tilden contributed more than $500,000 in
1876, and that Mr. Blaine’s contribution
in 188-1 was SICO.OCO. Binoe then no authen
tic news as to cbntributions from the head
of the ticket has been allowed to leak out
on either side, though it is understood that
the vice presidential candidates have gen
erally put up with fair liberality. It may
be mentioned while pass ng ihat that while
presidential candidates seldom visit head
quarters, vice presidential candidates often
do. The late Mr. Hobart was virtually In
charge of the branch headquarters at New
York whenever Mr. Hanna was in Chi
cago, which was more than half the time
all through the campaign in 1896.
Going back to th-e campaign funds, it
may be added that the chairman generally
has as much to do with their raising as
the treasurer, and the writing of impas
sioned appeals to tartly contributors has
occupied rising of half the time of more
than one committee head. The chairman ia
also generally a member, ex offlolo, of all
the committee’s sub-committees, which
vary In number and scope of course from
campaign to campaign but which rarely
number less than half a dozen and rarely
meet less frequently than once a day. He
is also of necessity in close touch with the
committee’s secret service work-in fact,
lie is generally the only man In the outfit
who knows all its ins and outs.
Tin* Committee* anil tlie Public.
Tittle cf all this would be seen by the
casual visitor to committee headquarters.
He would have to have a strong pull in
deed to got beyond the outside reception
room, where congregate "the poets’’
whose songs have been rejected, the "ar
tists’’ whose freak cartoons have been
turned down, and the motley hangers on
who yenm for committee Jobs. It seems
to le settled committee policy to provide
at least one such room tor a class of
men who resemble the "setters" at the
average count! y grocery more than any
thing else
Should tYe visitor’s errand he import
ant he mav pass the portals,
though without previous pull, by making
friends with the serfcreant-at-arms whose
du>y It is to look after the pay roll,make
minor !o al disbursements and in general

A PICNIC BASKET.
How to Pack nnd Fill It to Give
Complete Satisfaction.
The wise picnicker, like the wise pioneer,
looks out for a place affording plenty of
shade, wood and water. Given this indis
pensable, success or failure hinges largely
on the basket—and the bosket Is easier
put up right than' wrong, If only one
knows how to go about It.
Unless it Is a picnic of two, do not be
tempted Into depending on. a paper box.
Lunch for any numb -r between four and a
dozen may be beautifully stowed within
one of the straw telescope baskets, which
have dependable leather straps, and weigh
almost nothing. Line It wiih a soft big
napkin, bciore you begin packing, taking
care to leave a long end at one side, to fold
over the top. Upon the napkin put a
sheet or two of paraffine paper, tucking it
snugly Into the corners.
Now you are ready for the eatables.
Chicken Is much better friend than broiled
for eating cold. Have the butcher unjoint
a pair of broiling sizes carefully, cutting
the breat in two pieces, taking off the
wings, and dividing the legs Into drum
stick and second joint. Wash well, salt
and pepper delicately, roll in cracker dust,
and fry very brown in deep hot fat. Take
up and drain on paper In a hot plate, then
allow to bool In open air. For packing lay
a sheet of paraffine paper over a wood
en plate or bit of stiff cardboard, pile the
fried chicken upon It, draw the corners of
the paper over it, and It Is ready for pack.
Ing. But do not put II at the bottom of
your basket. Let the bottles of olives or
pickles or relishes go there. They had
better be opened and the brine or vinegar
poured ofr, both for safety and for saving
weight. Tins of biscuit, or sandwiches
should go also toward the bottom. Where
there are several of thorn it Is best to
stand them on end and wedge the bottles
upright between.
Either ham, tongue or smoked beef for
sandwiches is I vest chopped fine, mixed
w-llh a little butter, lemon Juice and chop
ped parsley, or capers, and celery vine
gar. Cut off the crust from the sand
wich loaf, anil butter the end before cut
ting oil a slice. Spread the filling evenly
and press ttrmly together. If you have
not a sandwich box to line with the oiled
paper, pile your sandwiches even and
wrap them In several thicknesses of the
paper. Then take leave* of white and
brown bread, cut oft the end, butter the
lonf lightly, cut off the buttered surface
and lay It buttered skid down upon the
end crust. Keep on Until you have the
whole lonf sliced, buttered Bnd piled near,
ly In Its original shape. Wrap It deftly In
paper—oiled paper, of course—pass a strong
rubber band over It endwise, outside the
paper, and fit It In place. Treated thus It
keeps fresh and saves much time and
temper. You can stir lemon Juice Into
the butter or mix In the yellow of eggs
boded lor twenty minutes and then mash-
ed smooth. Or cream cheese, or cottage
chcere may take the place of butter. Col
lage cheese with just a dash of salt and
cayenne makes an approach to a sand
wich, often more acceptable than the real
thing.
Wrap all such things as sliced tongue,
smoked relishes or high flavored cheese
first well in oiled paper, and then in tin
foil—thus nothing is either mussed or con
taminated. Nuts should be shelled and
salted—that is, fried lightly, sprinkled with
salt, drained of grease and cooled. Put
them in a box to themselves and tie the
box securely.
Pie at a picnic is an abomination of des
olation. custard the same, and cake not
much better. Instead of them take fruit,
plenty of fruit, and if your sweet tooth
cries aloud, a box of godd candy. Pack
nil these toward the bottom, letting your
plate of chicken come toward the top.
If you carry wine, set a bottle upright in
cither end of the basket, and pack around
and between them as firmly as possible.
Upon top of the chicken invert half a
dozen wooden plates—but let not pride
nor vanity beguile you Into taking even
earthen ones. Over the plates lay a batch
of Japanese napkins—at least two for
each person to be served. Stick Into the
crevices here and there a steel knife, two
or three light weight plated forks, a full
salt shaker -with a dependable top. and
half a dozen to fit into each other. When
all are as snug as possible fold a colored
cotton tablecloth to the size of the basket,
lay it on top of all. tuck over it the long
end of tho napkin, then slip on the basket
cover, see that it fits square, and draw
the straps till you have a firm parcel.
Next comes wherewithal we shall drink.
With very cool water and a very hot day,
lemonade Is the thing, but coffee Is never
out of place. But <k> not make the mis
take of carrying lemons. Dissolve a pound
of lump sugar in water enough to cover it,
boil up once, skim weli, let cool a little,
then add the strained juice of a dozen
fresh lemons. Mix well, bottle and cork.
A teaspoonful in a glass of water makes
a delicious drink—and has the crowning
mercy of requiring nothing but the glass
to make it in.
Ihe syrup bottle can be packed in the
coffee kettle, a’ong with the sugar, cof
fee and tea. Always take lump sugar
and plenty cf it. Plenty of coffee, too, ani
be sure it is freshly ground. Make half
a dozen bags of cheese c oth about eight
inches square, with a drawing thread at
the top. Put four tablespoonsful of ground
coffee or two of dry tea into each one,
then draw up and tie tight. After filling
put them in separate piper bags, since
tea will taint coffee and vice versa. Pack
the bags, a ong wi'h plemty of small tin
oufxs and a light tin pitcher, inside the
kettle, which ought to be of agate ware,
holding a gallon or two, and furnished
vvi#h a good handle, and a close fitting
lid.
In such a kettle can be slung gypsy
fashion, but is much safer if set upon
three rocks and tire kindled beneath. It
can be filled with water, and the water
brought to a bo 1. Then some of the boil
ing water can be used with a bag of tea.
to make tea in a pitcher. Next drop in
bags of ground coffee—one for each three
persons who are to drink, and let the
kettle boil on for five minutes, keep ng it
closely covered. The water, like tho
ground coffee must of course be proprr
tioned to the drinkers. A quart to the
bagful of coffee is about right. The re
sult is drinkable coffee, clear, aromatic
refreshing, whether one be hot or
cold. Chilly days a dash of brandy bet
ters it. Lfmon and rum may b l3 carried
also for the tea. As to spoons it is bet
ter to buy metal ones at half a cent each
than to risk anything more valuable.

A
BUSINESS MAN
OUT OF GEAR.
A well known business man said yester
day that he had felt worse since warm
weather set in than he had felt in years. He
said that he was all out of gear. Couldn’t
eat —was tired, brain and body. Couldn’t
sleep well. Had headache, was dizzy, stom
ach was a restless sort of thing.
He didn’t feel sick enough to call a doc
tor and yet he was far from well and was
growing worse hourly. He took the advice
of a pharmacist and began a course of Gray
beard. He began to eat at once and digested
better than he had in years. He slept well.
Headache disappeared. Stomach was easily
controlled and he felt as invigorated and
rested as if he had spent a month in the
mountains.
The effects of Graybeard are truly won
derful. You need nothing but Graybeard now
to tide you over the next few weeks of dull,
disagreeable, uncertain weather.
It may be worth hundreds to you.
