WASHINGTON. Slav 14. The creat

of Representatives. Is now to begin. The
commanders-in-chief of the two sreat op

missions, are organizing their staffs, lo

preliminary plans of attack. In other

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-

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
