Thu last is some times surprising, tics to say weird. Mod esty In not the besetting tin of the polit ical orator. Hundreds of applications are received daily by letter and scores of would-be speakers make personal pleas for campaign engagements. It Is here that the crank seeks recognition The broken down preacher, the superannuated actor, the college valedictorian, the youthful lawyer, tho street fakir and the girl elocu tionist all ask for opportunities to "enter the political arena." Home of these orators are so persist ent that they succeed In pudsng the sergeani-atairms and gaining aiitnl'- tan oto the secretary. A nmn with long hair and a Hyronlc collar one warm day Interviewed Mr. Walsh on the possibility of obtaining a chance to speak for Rryan. The orator had on ■ shiny frock cout and he swelled out the bosom of a frayed shirt as he posed before tha busiest train in the headquarters "Sir, 1 am not only a speaker of more than local fame, hut I am a poet." he said “I have composed n few lines beginning Lets clasp each other by the hand, n fine unbroken bnnd ond stand together as one man.* that would be sura to catch an audience." ins secretary was occupied with the weekly pay roll. He looked up from s long column of figures and sad quietly: “Go Into the next room and All out an application blank.

In addition to the speakers* listing bu reau, there Is a scimrute department, that assigns the orators to the various districts where they are most needed. In charge of Daniel McConvlile of Ohio. It Is expected that In the next two months not less than -.000 speakers will be sent out to all part* of the Untied Htates.

Senator June* sits at a large equate desk so arranged that his secre tary can face him. The chairman of fhe Democratic National Commitsee Is ac cesslblo to many persons who feel it ab solutely essential to thrtr Democratic well being to shake th hands of the man who Is directing the campaign. When Inter rupted Senator Jone* rises for a moment, shaken hands cordially and says a few Inspiring words to his visitors. Then he returns to his labors. Notwithstanding all the lact and alert ness of the sergennt-at-arms. many cranks manage to sb-nl the time of the famous man from Arkansas.

A t sar of Appreciated Genius. One of the Iwck county members from Missouri succeeded In obtaining an Inter view with Senator Jones by presenting letters that vouched for his Industry as a worker for the Democratic party. After having h heated Interview with a member of tho staff of the sergeant-at-arms, the man carried a large valise In wllh him Ho deposited hts valise on the floor as carefully a* If It bad been packed with eggs After shaking hands he said: "Senator, since I became a voter I have resented that Ignomlnous epithet, the ‘Great t'nwaahed.* applied lo our parly hy our enemies. I have here a bright Idea that will efface forever that damned un just title." The man opened his valise and look fri*m It two parcels enveloped In tissue paper He slowly unwound Ihe wrappings and lh*n set two busts about a foot high upon the Senator's desk. One was Bryan's head, done In white snap.and the other was Stevenson'* head, modeled tn pink soap. There was no doubl that the soap hd teen moulded hy a master hand, although the pink had an unnaturally flushed ap pearance. The Senator represses! a smile. "It Is my Idea to procure your indorse ment for these handsome statues." said the man. "and then I propose! to have these busts use-1 as Democratic decorations ev erywhere tn the country Do you ratoh ths Idea, the Great Unwashed taking to soap as a campaign feature?” Henator Jones explained that tho Duns era i,* could not afford any costly or artis tic venture.
