Under bis experienced direction $111,008
was raised to promote the primary tight
of his candidate who won 42 per cent
of the Republican vote cast, the other
tit -per cent going to Wood, who waa
regularly enured in the primaries, and
Herbert C. Hoover and Hiram Johnaori.
who wore not.
DAVGHERTT knew pretty well in ad
vance where he' waa going to ret the
financial backing- to put Harding over
at Chleato and later en at the Novenv
ber election. He collected his funds and
secured pledgee of material backing at
the aource of most all Republican cam
paign funds from the steel, the power,
the railway, the shlDDlna. the oil and
manufacturing corporations generally.
DATJQHEBTT has played a most Im
portant part in the management of his
candidate's campaign ever since the
nomination was won around the round
table at Chicago. National Chairman
flays and the other leaders of the
Ight have had to play second fiddle to
his solo part. He has dominated the
national organization as no other man
since his one-time patron, Mark Hanna.
He has stod between his candidate and
the board of directors of the Republi
can party at every turn, approving
here, vetoing there. .
IJ A "WISE BIHD"
DAUGHERTY is too wise a. bird to
overlook any of the advantages af
forded by the situation. He Keeps a
Vigilant eye on both his candidate and
Che men who are managing the details
Of the campaign under the direction of
the national committee.
DAUGHERTY has had considerable
experience In the gentle art of "double-
' crossing" In politics. Consequently he
does not take any chances. When the
exactions of his manifold responsibili
ties tak. him awsy from that Marion
front porch, his trained band of ob
server assigned to its environs keep
'him fully informed of the activities of
volunteer advisers and of subtle ven
tures designed to impair his influence
with his candidate. Nobody is going
' to put anything over on Daugherty If
(eternal vigilance tan prevent it.
DAUGHERTY is generally regarded
In Marlon, as also in New York and
Chicago, as the man to "see" concern
ing matters affecting his candidate.
"Wherefore patrons with suggestions for
winning the campaign or with warnings
against 'possible blunders, aspirants for
benefits to come, big business promot
er!, naturally go to Daugherty. There
Is a pretty well defined impression,
based upon both fact and circumstance.
, that Daugherty scrutinizes every per-
- tonal contribution of his candidate, and
that he vetoes many of them.
- HE FIX ALLY DISPOSES
DAUGHERTY, lurking In the background,-
permits - the statesmen and
sages of the party to make pilgrimages
to the front porch with rushes -of hlood
to the head (which they mistake for
.Inspirations) without interfering. The
keen observers at Marlon have very
igood reasons to justify the impression
that while these crusaders propose and
Uie candidate listens, it la Daugherty
'who finally disposes.
'rf DAUGHERTY has convinced the na
. tlonal leaders that personal expediency
demands that they submit all proposals
made to the presidential candidate to
Daugherty In advance. Those that
know their way around in -politics go
to Daugherly. Those that do not are
advised to do so. If the latter are wise
' they follow this excellent advice, be
cause Daugherty swings a long arm
and is most resourceful In evening up
" Old scores and punishing new offenses.
. DAUGHERTY, by reason of his long
experience in promoting candidates, dl-
rectlng the functiona of Ohio legis
latures and securing favors for cor
porations, knows as well as any other
-man in politics where the munitions
for political warfare are to be recruit
ed. He can probably' find his way into
more private offices where the des
,'tlnles of big business are dictated than
any other man in politics. He never
'.employs a guide when he operates In
' the Wall street district of New York,
' in the region of the Board of Trade in
'Chicago around Milk street in Boston
'or In various state capitals important
enough to warrant his personal atten
' Itlon.
XHEW MAGNATES WELL
' DAUGHERTY had the entry into the
White House In time past, into the offi
cial and private homes of government
and mayors, and gained' a pretty com
plete knowledge of the habits of legisla
tors both national and state. He is re-,
puted to have the private telephone num
ber of every important corporation mag
nate In the country, and to enjoy con
fidential relation with the legal advisers
that safeguard their Interests.
r. DAUGHERTY is not seeking the lime
light very much at present although he
has never been the man. to hide his
versatile talents under a bushel or, per
mit a rival to dispute his right for cre
dit of accomplishment.
! DAUGHERTY Is a product of Ohio.
He began to take an interest in politics
before he got through the grammar
school at Washington Court House In
Fayette county. The members of the
1-knew-hlm-when club" at the court
house say he was a reactionary even in
hta football days.
QUIT FORAKEH FOR SHERMAN
h DAUGHERTY'S first venture Ipto the
politics of Ohio was in 1891, when ho got
what mi&t bo described as "a bad
atari He was elected to the legislature
a an avowed supporter of Gov. Foraker,
who was a candidate to succeed John
Sherman In the united-States senate.
The Sherman forces elected their dale-
' gates In Fsyette county and pledged
, their legislative representative to . the
tnator.
.DAUGHERTY appeared before the
convention and accepted the pledge.
The same afternoon be went to Colum
bus and renewed his allegiance to For
aker through C, L. Kurtz, now president
of the Columbus street railway company
and then tine manager. On the final
ballot Daugherty voted for Sherman.
DAUGHERTY made no defense of hi
action despite the rumors that improper
Influences bad bees employed by the
Sherman forces to secure votes. The
Columbus Press-Poet editorially charged
that several members of the assembly
had been fa Id for their desertion of For
aker and support of tlherman. Daugherty
Waa one of them. He demanded an in
vestigation., which waa held.
DAUGHERTY was exonerated by a
bipartisan committee of his colleagues
because the author of the charges re
fused to produce hta facta. But ha
Challenged Daugherty and the other ac
cused legislators to sue him for libel.
Daugherty did not accept the challenge.
IEBVED BUT OSE TERM
DAUGHERTY served but one term In
the legislature. He was never again able
to win an elective office. He continued to
play an active part in politics. By
shrewdly blending his professional ac
tivities as lawyer and pollcltian he
achieved both . prominence and pros
perity.
DAUGHERTY waa the chairman of
the Kepublican state central committee
In 189S. In the memorable contest be
tween Senator Hanna and Robert C Mc
Klsson in that year charges of bribery
were made against some men in the
Hanna organisation.- The state senate
appointed a committee to Investigate
them.
DAUGHERTY. acted as attorney for
one of the accused Hanna legislators.
After the Investigation Daugherty. one
of Hanna's managers. Is alleged to have
submitted to Hanna an exorbitant bill
for "legal" services, which Hanna la as
serted to have paid with the remark,
"Well, that settles the argument" At
any rate, Dougherty became the anti
Han na candidate for governor the fol
lowing year." When Hanna was in
formed of his defeat for the nomination
he is quoted aa having said, "Well, we
know our business."
yiOE5T FOB, CORPORATION
DAUGHERTY hacked away from ac
tive politics for some time. He devoted
most of his time to representing corpora
tions seeking special favors from the
Ohio legislature. His skill as a manipu
lator of political Intrigue resulted In the
exercise of great Influence by him over
members of ; the legislature. At one
time or another he la said to have rep
resented a number of the most important
corporations in the country.
DAUGHERTY figured In the Investi
gation conducted by the New Yirk insur
ance department In 1910. Tits records
of that investigation show that Daugh
erty was paid several thousand dollars
for "work In Ohio" and f 20.000 In con
nection with bia efforta to remove a re
striction placed by the poetof fice- depart
ment on the operations of 4ge American
Protective Legion, a fraternal Insurance
association.
DAUGHERTY also played an import
ant legal part In securing tha pardon of
Charles E. Morse from tha federal peni
tentiary at Atlanta. Morse was serving
a sentence for violation oi uic menu
banking law. Daugherty became active
In trying to bring about trie release or.
the banker on the ground that he was
about to die from an Incurable malady.
GOT MORSE PABDOKED
DAUGHERTY appealed to the sym'-
pathles of President Taft. After he had
secured the pardon of Morse Daugherty
gave an interview to the Columbus
Evening Dispatch, in which he said, tn
part:
"So I went to Washington and laid tha
facts before Secretary of War Stimson,
who prosecuted Morse, and the attorney
general and Judge Hough, the trial
Judge. Mr. Wlckersham was opposed to
taking any action the first time I saw
him, but the facta were presented so
completely that he took the matter up,
had an examination made by government
physicians and then laid the matter be
fore the president. The president sent a
government agent to make an examina
tion and report to him, then commuted'
the sentence."
DAUGHERTY was given much credit
for securing the pardon for Morse, who,
by the way, sailed for Europe after his
release from Atlanta and recovered his
health so rapidly that' he has since con
ducted a number of successful business
ventures with clarity of vision and free
dom of physical restrictions that would
do credit to any individual. Morse, him
self, awarded Daugherty most of the
credit of securing hla physical and fin
ancial recrudescence. Shortly after his
release the press dispatches quoted him
as saying he had paid $50,000 to Daugh
erty. '
TAFT WAS 8U8FICIOU8
DAUGHERTY in hla capacity as one
of Morse's legal advisers waa credited
with great skill in presenting the case
to the department of justice. There was
no evidence that he rendered services
of any other character. President Taft
in a speech at Bangor, Maine, on Febr
uary 4. is is. said in reren-ina to two
men pardoned by him that he "suspected
fraud but was unable to def
initely establish any." The two men
pardoned by Mr. Taft on the ground
that they were -about to die were Mr.
Morse and Banker Walsh of Chicago.
DAUGHEBTY continued to ply his
trade as promoter; to maintain his ac
tive standing In politics and to under
take the promotion of candidates for
various jobs. His bad luck as a can
didate for office followed him persist
ently. The treat majority of the leading
Republicans of Ohio always frowned
upon hla personal ambition. Whenever
bo stuck his head tip the leaders in both
the Old Guard and Progressive fiction
Joyously took a crack at It.
DAUGHERTY'S rejection aa governor
In 189) waa followed by hla signal fail
ure to win the primary Indorsement for
the senate In 1)16, and later by hla re
pudiation In March last aa candidate
for deUgate-at-large to tha convention
that nominated his man as per his cyni
cal prediction five months before.
BE It INTENSELY PRACTICAL
DA.t7QHXB.TT possesses rare talent as
a political manipulator. There is no
doubt about that. Despite the preju
dices against him personally he haa ex
hibited this talent in a striking manner
'on many oocaaiona. He Is not given to
chasing rainbows. He deala with the
realities of political Intrigue on a hard
boiled basis.
DAUGHERTY is eminently practical
In all things. While his critics say he
does not always keep his own contracts
he is most exacting and uncompromis
ing in demanding the fulfilment of those
In which he Is a participant. He la an
adept In all the give and take game in
politics, not easily embarrassed or dis
concerted. He stalks his game in the
most direct fashion and does not lack
courage when he is fighting for what
he thinks he Is entitled to.
DAUGHERTY is' a big blond fellow
with a round, florid face and expressive
humorous eyes. He is one of the best
mixers In politics. He can sit up all
night, plays a stiff game of poker, tell
a good story, and has a keen apprecia
tion for the good things of life. He is
one of the most energetic men in the
country despite -his proximity to three
score of years. His friends praise him
as "good fellow." ' His critic condemn
him as "mercenary."
DAUGHEBTY devotes all of his time
at present to acting as intermediary be
tween the board of control In the Re
publican national commute- and his
candidate. Every man In the former
group concedes to him the greatest
amount of influence over Mr. Harding.
They further predict that he will wield
tremendous power if Mr. Harding la
elected. In their Judgment Daugherty
will be "the man to see."
Marquard Warrant
Not to Be Served
Until After Series
Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. . (U. S.)--The
warrant charging "Rube" Marquard,
star pitcher for Brooklyn, with ticket
scalping will not be served until after
the world series. Chief of Police Smith
announced here tonight. Smith said he
did not want to interfere in any way
with Brooklyn's chances for the world's
championship.
Marquard was taken from the Weston
hotel here this afternoon to police head
quarters on the charge he was attempt
ing to aell a set of box seats at League
park for 8150. Smith questioned Mar
quard and permitted him to join the
team on the latter's plea that he might
be needed in the game.
"I do not want to take any action
that would give Brooklyn Jin opportunity
to say that we did anything to interfere
with the team's chances." Smith said.
"After the series Is over, we shall take
action on the warrant-"
Marquard denied that he was ticket
scalping.
