William S- Rodie, chairman of the bu reau ef erasnlhation sf the Demooratto atate executive committee 1 one of the new political flguree who have bean brousht to the front by the Parser cam paign, and altnous practically unknown to the general maas of Democjaja la the atate before the nomination of Judge Parker, he hae won a reputation a an active end energetle party worker. Mr. Rodie is a typ of bualneso man In polltlca One of the drat prob lema that oonfrented the Democratic campaign managere when they bemn to plan the eampalsn la Hew York waa how te make the Democratic orssnlsatlona outalde ef New York City effeotlv. Fac tional tights that had been raging In the atate for IS reera and the apllt la the party caused by the Bryan platforms had destroyed the magnlncent orenlsa tlon created by Samuel J. TUden and left only scattered fragmento to work Upon. Ia New York City alone wee there party discipline and leaders Hi authority who were able to give orders with any prospect of having them obeyed.. This waa due to the fact that Tammany's In termittent vlctorlee had enabled It to hold Itself together and to reward Its adherents. In tha rural dlstriote Demo crate had learned to hope for nothing. The feeling there we indicated la the ory ef the' Democratic leader of Broome county la the last Democratic state con vention that tha Democrats of that eoun tx were "entitled to Juat as much for bearanoe and a sight more sym pathy than Tammany Halt" Practically all the local ossoea were In the hand ef the enemy. A. It was aotortoua that In many ef the dlatricte In the Interior of the atate the Democratic election officers were more la aympatby with the Republican party than with their own. and that they were willing te connive at any scheme for In creasing tha Republican vote that might be proposed to them, atea must be found to ess that the vote waa honestly east and counted oa election day, but a vast amount, ef work waa to be dona before then. The Dameerate who had left then party on tha money laaus were to be brought back Into line; wavering Republlcana and Independents wars to be appealed to either through oral or written argument; the first votera were te be reasoned with, and Anally, arrange ments were to be perfected to- Inaure attendance at the polla of every Demo crat. The needs of the eltustlon consti tuted a task of enormous and seemingly almoet hopeless magnitude, with practic ally nothing, or evsn worse than nothing, to start with. Nobody realised better than Judge Parker what waa to be dens. He had learned from Mr. Tilde himself the value of poll Ileal organisation. Bii 1110, when he waa a Democratic worker la Kingston, he came te this city with Mrs. Parker to attend meeting of the Grand Lodge of Free Mesons He put up at a hotel. Ttldee heard ef his ar rival, aa he always heard of everything that might prove of Prty rt"nf and he immediately sent to Mr. and Mr a. Parker aa invitation to dine. They were forced to decline, but UW la the evening Mr. TUden sent hie carriage for Mr. Parker with a request for a atief lVeTg Pre. M TUdsb. Mr. Parker cams aad Mr. Tllden i re ceived him In his library with a cordial greeting. "1 want you to revise my list of working Democrats la Uleter county for me," Mr. Tllden sst. . "Certainly," Mr. Parker replied, think ing that the revision would be a matter of a law minutee only. "Where la r Mr. Ttldea went to hla deak and drew out a Urge buadle ef paper containing Hats of namee. Mr. Parker glanced at them. and found that they contained the iwmee ef f rem te M DemooraU in every election dletrict In the county. He was aetoniehed at the care with which the lists bad been prepared, and he saw at once that time would be re quired te revise them, aa they ware four yea re old. "1 vrtit take the lists home with me and send them back t you la a few days, be said. That'a right1' Mr. Tilde replied, "and put the young fellowa on. gome ef the old once are all right but there are others who do net know that they are dead.'' It was three weeks before the Hsto were ready to be returned to rameixy Park. Mr. Parker found tt necseaary te meke himself familiar with the attua tloa in each district In the county. He asnt for aooree of men, talked with them personally, and when he had finished the llets he had a good Idea ef the mag nitude of the labor that had been re quired to construct tha TUden a ehine, - Mr. Rodie, In his work ef organisation, has taken the TlMea Plan as hla model.
