Quite a few year ago, when George
It f'ortelyou, during McKlnley's first
administration, ' was promoted to the
poult Ion of secretary to the president,
the -newspaper . correspondent In
"Wnhlngton (Uncovered a new quantity
In public, life. They had grown used
to deceptive or evasive replies In an
swer to leading question, Corlelyou
employed neither deception or evasion.
If he ws not prepared u give the In
formation asked, he nld simply, "I
can't -tell you."
In a month the correspondents had
changed his name from "Oor-tel-you"
to "Ctin't-U'll-you." And It stuck like
the papr nn the wall. Iom that lny
to this Onrtelyou has enjoyed the rep
utation' of being able to any lew and
"l It more Impressively than any man
In public 11 f p. - It hst,ben the 'fr-
telyou polio-" to keep his mouth shut,
and In the malntalnunce of this policy
tie has had little competition and few
Imitators. Moat men In public life
find It difficult to dodge leading ques
tions except by resort to untruthful
neM, and thia seldom fotchse .them
more than temporary gain.
Put the point I that, according to
present Indications, Cortelyou's policy
of silence may land him the nomina
tion for vice-president. If Corlelyou
Is nominated at Chicago It will be very
largely became he ha refused during
the past eight months to be drawn Into
any sort of a discussion of politics
It Is doubtful if 'Cortelyou's best friend
knows whether hie preference Is for
Taft or for one of the "allied" candi
dates. He has maintained friendly re
lations with all of them, and has been
too friendly with none. Once, In an
swer to charges that he was giving
. RooMvelt the "double cross," Cortel
you gave out a statement to the effect
that he was not at that time a, candi
date for president. Since then, on all
questions of poll lies, he' hits been silent
as the tonih. FYom time to time his
name has been mentioned is a possible
"dark hois." nl Chicago, but to nil
auch siikk' -ton Corlelyou hsii hiMl
not a word to sa;, He bits gone about
the business of the tivnsury depart
ment though there was no surh
thing on earth a a nittlomit conven
tion or a pri sldentlnl election.
History Is nm without lrtance
where men hnve talked themselves
Into polltliHl preferment, but Corlel
you furnishes the first notable cuss
wher preferment threaten to comet
as the result of masterful silence.
