The creat battle for the capture of the next House of Representatives. Is now to begin. The commanders-in-chief of the two sreat op posing forces have received their com missions, are organizing their staffs, lo cating their headquarters and studying preliminary plans of attack. In other words, the chairmen of the Republican r. ............ .......? . llSllif Vt I :: w i :; yfi-. - J ii t : : -:-' :: T Kepresentallve J. 8.- fchernian. and Democratic carrfpaigfi ' committees have been elected by those bodies. Each Is a veteran, well schooled in the art of political strategy. The Opposing Generals. , The commander-in-chief of the Republi can forces Is Representative James Schoolcraft Sherman, of Utica, Is. Y. He is a virile and vigorous "upstater." with strong, sagacious face, and is in the very prime of intellectual life, having ten years yet to run before being ripe for Osleriza tlon. He has a high, broad forehead, and what physiognomists call a commanding eye, practical nose, determined mouth ancf strong chin. He Is clean-shaven, save for a pair of much-prized mutton-chop whis kers, and wears spectacles. The political wiseacres at the Capitol would 'point him out to yoir as "Uncle Joe" Cannon's prob able Republican successor In the Speak er's chair. He was born, -In Utica, 50 years ago, was graduated at .Hamilton College in 1878 and hung out his law shingle when 25 years of age. Utica made him her Mayor In 1SS4, and two years later sent him to the National House, where he has remained ever since. : Besides practicing law, he is president of a trust and deposit company and owns a cannery. He suc ceeds as chairman of the Republican Con gressional committee Representative J. W. Babcock, of Wisconsin, under whose generalship the Republicans captured the House In the middle of Cleveland's last administration, and who has won six suc cessive victories. The Democratic commander-in-chief Is Representative "Jim" Griggs, of Georgia, whom facetious newspaper paragraphers delight In calling "Grim Jiggs." He Is a clean-shaven, priestlyvappearing man six years younger than his Republican ad versary. He was born in LaGrange, a village of Georgia; has a normal school education, has been a school teacher, law. yer, editor, prosecuting attorney and County Judge. He was elected to the House In-1896, and was chairman of the Congressional committee In 1902. The staff of each of these generals con sists of an executive committee of eight members selected from the campaign committee, which Is composed of one member of Congress from each state. Then there will be a vice-chairman, sec retary and treasurer. Under the active eye of each secretary will work an army of assistants, clerks, stenographers, mes sengers, addressers, folders and laborers, variously augmented as the campaign grows more furious and bloody. May Decide Xext Presidential Buttle. This battle for a majority in the House will be waged Just as bitterly, in its par ticular territory, as though this were a "Presidential year." These mid-term Congressional elections ae generally ac cepted as an augury of how the next Presidential campaign will go, and by the party In power they have always been awaited with uneasiness. Of course, the Republicans have no hope whatever of Increasing their great majority ot 114 in the House. It is the rule that the party having the President counts fewer mem bers in the House during the second half of the Presidential term than It has dur ing the first. But when the mid-term Congressional election deprives the Presi dent's party of its majority, that party commonly loses the Presidency In the next election. The collection of a campaign fund is, of course, the first concern of each Con gressional committee. Until ome sort of publicity bill la parsed, as propose!, both sides will continue to make collec- Uoca jtiiextOj hut jvili this teas ba rather shy of Insurance companies and National banks as sources of revenue. The Arsenals. The arsenal of each commander will be his "literary bureau." The real ammuni tion of the campaign will be issued from . here under the direction of the secretary, who will serve as chief of ordnance. Mil lions of printed speeches, weighing hun dreds of tons, must be . packed off In great mailbags during the Summer ami Autumn months. Kach Republican and each Democratic' nominee will receive from his re.spective comnfttee headquar ters In Washington his quota of this lit erature. He will first send to the com mittee headquarters so many thousands of pamphlet envelopes bearing In a cor ner the facsimile of his signature, an of ficial franjc which allows to go free any extracts from the Congressional Record that official newspaper which reports the debates In Congress. Much of this matter will Include generous Insertions of mat ter never referred to in the halls of Con gress, but which may be carried gratis by the speeches. This has been the prac tice resorted to by both parties, without question, for many years. Kach of the folders at headquarters will he required to fill 6000 envelopes in one Gay's work, and many envelopes will contain ten pamphlet speeches each. Fifty folders toward the end of tle ram pa inn have thus prepared 250,000 packages per day in some strenuous years. The envelopes must be boxed, bagged, placed on the great mail wagons of the city postofflra and delivered at the local headquarters of each nominee. The latter will be aid ed in their distribution by his District Congressional Committee anil county and county and city committees, , whose agents need simply add the addresses of the voters marked for conversion. In the exciting campaign of 18H6 the Re publican Congressional Committee thus distributed 21.000.000 documents, and In 1900 6.746,000, this falling off In 1!00 be ing due to the- unusual activity of the National committee concerned in the election of President and Vice-President which broke all "previous records by sending out 110.000.000 speeches and docu ments, not counting posters. This al lowed nearly one speech and a half for every man. woman and child In the coun try, and represents a tremendous expen diture of campaign funds. In the last campaign the Democratic Congressional Committee was sending out a quarter million speeches a day when the season was fully ripe. It frequently happens to either party that a. few weeks before the election a "scare" will start In some section of the country, and then auxil iary printing presses must Immediately be set to work and an extra force of folders enlisted. Each chairman keeps at his fingers' ends an emergency list of such auxiliary assistants. Thus In 1900 a "scare" sent out in mid-October set so many printing presses 'to work that 150 additional clerks had to be called in to .bombard the. danger zone with the extra ammunition turned out. The "Subsidized Press." News bulletins constitute another class of this campaign ammunition, and usually some journalistic genius with time to spare actively directs the" compounding of explosives to be reg ularly supplied to country newspapers. Of course large daily papers that have sufficient brains of their own and do not have' to think by syndicate do not use any of this matter. Thousands of these country papers supplied by the campaign committees, through what are known as patent insides, constitute what the muck-raker commonly refers to a the "subsidized press of this country." Pamphlets written in a popular vein and designed to quickly present polit ical questions to the understanding of voters who do not have time to unravel ' the long-winded speeches are also is sued, but with postage attached, as In the case of the press bulletins and patent Insides. Thus has been circulat ed In times past such books as "The Poor Looking Forward" and "Coin's financial School." Supplying the Spellbinders. But a special brand of concentrated explosive must be compounded by both bureaus with all of the skill of In tellectual chemistry which they can summon to their aid. This .ammuni tion is sent out in the form of "cam paign text Looks" for the spellbind- llpRipilil : s I i r . yr t ... ,s x . t Si Representative Jameft M.

These booklets. generally bound to fit the coat pocket, are alive with historical data, records of party superiority, facts, figures and fictions designed to convert the most hardened unbeliever and railroad him to the mourners' bench. About 50,000 of these, carefully Indexed, are Issued to the campaign orators scattered upon the stump in all Congressional dis tricts. Among recent Congressional campaign managers there has been considerable difference of opinion as to whether a thousand dollars Invest ed In spellbinding pays better than the same Investment in pamphleteer ing. The average stump speaker will talk to 2000 people per day, and they 4i.onoludKi on fjuca 14. J
