(CopyrUht. 1908. by Frederic J. Haskln.) Washington, Aug. 14. The man agement of a national campaign Is a matter of business an well as politics.- Some of the most successful managers In the national, as well as In local politics, have been men who won their spurs In commercial af fairs long before they took an inter est In things political. Mark Hanna Is a notable example. Prior to 1896 he was looked upon as a successful business man rather than as a poli tician, yet when he entered the field of politics, Hanna was able to defeat such veterans as Joe Manley of Maine, Piatt of New York, Quay of Pennsylvania and Clarkson of Iowa. What has been said of Hanna Is also true in the case of William F. Har rlty, who was chairman of the Dem ocratic national committee in 1892. He was known as a business man rather than politician. Many thought that Mr. Roosevelt made a mistake in 1904 when he named George B. Cortelyou as head of the national committee, for the latter had no experience in the game of politics, his work having been con fined entirely to business and the government service. But Cortelyou was a success. That the head of the national com mittee Is a ticklish position nors with out (aylnK Tho chairman in oft time Married for results quite beyond lit.i con trol. A case In point Is that of Sena tor Carter of Montana who headed the Republican national committee In 1 892, a year In which the tide had turned so strongly to th Democrats that the S real est of politicians could never have diverted II 4 The problem of success In the man agement of national campaigns Is di vided Into three parts. The first is how to hold the vote of the rank and file of the party and arouse their en thusiasm for Hie ticket This ran h? done onlv by educating them, so far as the platform artjl the great Dltrtrlot JTumbar 1.

Portland has been selected as the headquarters for the new district of ths forestry service that will contain Ore gon, Washington and Alaska and all the business that now goes to Washington, D. C, will come to Portland, where an office force of more than 60 clerks will be maintained. The moving of the of fices to Portland will commence No vember 1 and will be completed by January 1, 1909. .The selection of Portland as head of the district follows the action of the forestry service In dividing the coun try Into six districts and handling the business of each district In one city In -that particular district instead of sending It to Washington. In this man ner, delays from 10 days to two months will bo obviated and s much more sat isfactory service maintained. The selection of Portland as head quarters for the district will be a cause of general rejoicing among people who have business to transact with tha for. atry service. In addition to ths bens mm mat will be received by persons doing business with ths forestry serv- iob, me inquisition or ths office will be a distinction for Portland. It Is expected that several floors In one of in new orriea tulldlii( will be en- fiaged to accommodate the large work ng force. Hevera.1 buildings are con templated for ths nrw offices, but no final decision has been made. With the establishment of districts to carry on the work of the depart ment, ths offices in Washington will bo greatly decreased Olfford Plnchot head forester will remain In Vi,ln. ton with a small office force but the reorganisation la otherwise sweeping In the manner of estubllslilns' Innec7nr ana cierss in cities other than tho na tional capital. Under the new scheme there will be a head Inspector In churge of the work In his district, which will Include not only the handling of the Inspection work but the clerical work us well. All mat ters pertaining to his district will thus be under his jurisdiction Instearl of part of the business being handled by in spectors In the field and the rrht sent to Washington. IIOQTIIA3rrOMAKE ITSELF WELL KXOWX Hoqulam, Washington, Is organizing a chamber of commerce and will begin active work or advertising Its resources and prospects this fall. Manager Tom Richardson of the Commercial club is In the Washington city helping to or ganise the new body and will spend sev eral days there assisting the chamber In getting started. FRIDAY and SATURDAY FURNISHING SPECIALS issue are concerned. The task is not usuallv a difficult one where the ticket has not been nominated after a bitter fight or Is sectional in character. The second Is how to present arguments in a man ner so dcNiier and ingenious as to con vert votersroin the other side as well as ths great uiass of independents, once .vj . , lnH.n..4.nl .A.r. noo, hnl.l ' 1 ho hl'. NeUon Is now ance of power nnd much attention Is paid them by the party managers. The third is what mistakes the other side is liable to make which may be taken advantage of for the sake of votes The most costly mistake that any party manager was able to take advantage of was In the campaign of 1884 when James G. Blaine. In reply to the greet- did lng of the ministers. not imme diately repudiate the speech of Dr. Burchard characterizing the Democratic party as one of rum, Romanism and re bellion. It Is true that the Plumed Knight did so later on. but not before the Democratic managers had flooded the country with copies of tho Burc hard speech, by which time It was too lata. The advantage taken of the ut terance of General Hancock character ising itha tariff aa a local issue helped to bring about his defeat. It will bo readily seen, therefore, that the cam paign managers have their hands full, and upon the way they handle the propositions mentioned the result In a great measure depends. Attaining Karalts. There are three ways of attaining the results. The first Is through mass meetings. Most leaders claim that their value is limited to the arousing of en thusiasm of the rank and file, that mass meetings do not as a rule make votes. As evidence it Is pointed out that Mr. Bryan in both his campaigns had large and enthusiastic audiences, many people coming to hear his won derful oratory, although determined not to vote for him. The second is through the distribution of campaign literature. This means the speeches of party leaders, leaflets on the Issues and oadges ana buttons witn tne party em blem and portraits and the names of the candidate, 'ine third Is the In sertlon of article and editorials In tha dally and weekly newspapers through out the country. This Is one of the most Important and highly effective methods. Much attention Is paid to it by the party managers. It came Into vogue when the tariff was an Issue back In 188S. The controversy over free raw materials' was then on. Both sides began to send articles on the subject to the press and then on other Issues. The national committee Is aided in Its "work by a campaign or executive com mittee. The Information on which the campaign is conducted comes from two sources. First, from the managers them selves and those close to them political ly. As they are from every section of the country their knowledge collective ly covers the entire field. It may be stated as a general proposition that each manager Is presumed to be in charge of the campaign In his terri tory The second source or Information Is the chairmen of the various sta te committees. Thev are supposed to be continually kceplntr the national man agers posted. Their Information as to looal conditions Is derived from the heads of the local organizations. Campalg-a of IsOO.

District No. 2 shows up well, and Freda Launer. the little worker at Dal las. Or., is again nt the head of all dis tricts and leads In the contest. She and Ralph Robnett are making a hard fight for first honor. Olive Williams and Nelson have made good gains. hard at work canvassing In all pnrts of the valley, and we hear from Miss Williams that she Is covering the rural districts near Alrlle. Beulah Gllkey of Corvnllis Is one of the hardest workers In this dis trict, and, like her cousin in district 3, Is going ahend with every score. Karl Jackson. Adela Vollstedt and Paul Nunan are all at work among friends and residents of their vicinity, and will no doubt keep to the front. Charles Hlbbard of Sllverton is not doing much, but has many promises, and will surely be in the game in a day or two.

Frances Gordlon. the baby of our contest, enters i for her first score with over 9.0U0 to her credit, and jumps) into third. Look out for the baby and watch her grow. Dolon IJlly, Margrett MoCoy and Etta Hhelton increase their score again and are keeping at It. Gladys Rogers, the new contestant from Baker City, .lumps ahead of Kenneth Murray, who hps not j done anything since his first score. I The contest Is now warming up In ; good shape, and every contestant is in ! to win in his or her district. A great i many are returning from their vaca tions, and contestants should cinch their promises today. The contest pe- ! rlod is short and only a few weeks re- ! main.

Mr. Hewitt hud two sets of blanks prepared for every election pre cinot. One wns a preliminary, the other a final canvass of voters. The experiment, however, was not entirely successful Kor the work was found to be too voluminous for the na tional committee to undertake, hence the latter body continued to depend up on the state organizations for news as to the situation. Chairman Harrlty did bo to a great extent In the cam paign of 1892. That year the informa tion received by him was accurate enough to enable n, calculation comfng within two of the electoral votes that flrover Cleveland received. Dividing' State. For campaign purposes the states are divided into three classes. The first are those that are doubtful, with chances favoring tho ticket.' Much at tention Is concentrated on this class. There la usually one, sometimes even more than ono memliajr of the campaign committee doing nothing but attending to the campaign I here. In the days prior to election reports several times a day are received, su close is the at tention paid. The second class of states Is those that r.ie doubtful, though more liable to be carried by the opposition. The press bureau Is compose,! or two sets of men.
