CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT DIRECT OWN CAMPAIGNS Coolidge, Davis and La Follette Real Managers and ’Slick Politicians, By United Press WAb. CLNGTON, July 25.—For the first time in political history, all three leading candidates for president—Coolidge, Davis and La Folle*.te— are the real managers of their own campaigns. Despite their nominal managers and the elaborate organizations behind them, none of the candidates has placed his political fortunes in the hands of a single man or a set of men, such as presidential candidates have done in the past. Asa result of this unusual situation party leaders agred today that credit for victory will be largely due the winning candidate himself, fi his success comes from campaign strategy. By the same token, the losers must take the chief blame if their campaigns collapse under some blunder on a major policy. Direct Charge That all three candidates have assumed direct charge of their own campaigns was said to be no reflection on the wisdom or abilities of their managers. Leaders escribe the role of campaign managers partly to the character of the candidates and partly to the political situation in which each finds himself. President Coolidge, with an unbroken string of political victories, is given credit by his friends with being a master politician and his decision to take charge ot his campaign is in keeping with his past methods. After the Democratic convention, Jchn W. Davis found his party badly split. He was confronted with the problem of selecting a campaign manager acceptable to all factions. Davis No Novice After a week of conferences with party leaders of all element, Davis salved it by the selection of his friend and admirer, Clem C. Shaver, of West Virginia. But, it is pointed wat, Davis is no novice in national politics and he has reserved to himself the decisions on all major policies. That Senator La Follette is directing his own campaign occasions no surprise in Washington. His long fight with the bosses beginning at the outset of his political career in Wisconsin has gained for the independent candidate the reputation of being one of the most astute politicians in the country. His selection of Representative John M. Nelson, his chief lieutenant in scores of political battles, as his manager to direct the details of his campaign, was as natural.

“Tanlac has been our constant friend for years, and my wife and myself are enjoying wonderful health, largely due to this medicine,” is the remarkable statement of Harry H.

When I began taking it my stomach was in such a bad fix that I had to live on milk and egg diet and I was almost a skeleton. I had been flat of my back in bed and under treatment for 18 months and felt that my time was about up.

In arranging with a “fence” to dispose of a box of jewels which he stole from the White Eagle, a crook. Ainsley was overheard by Swede Thomaesen, a brutal murderer in hiding. Thomassen comes to Ainsley's apartment. covers him with a revolver, and demands half of the loot. He orders Ainsley to go and get the jewels from the safe-deposit box downtown. Then he drops down on a bed in Ainsley's apartment and goes to sleep, confident that Ainsley will not cross him. Ainsley is fearful of exposing him to the police because then he himself would become involved in the answering of many unpleasant question. Now Go On With the Story JTTTD ITH a groan I dismissed my iW p!an. I could not give up my L J liberty. The shame of exposure was more than I could endure. Yet to permit Thomassen to escape, to aid him in his escape, was to endure a private shame as hideous as any public exposure. I was caught between the devil and the deep sea. And then inspiration came to me, as it must come to anyone caught between the devil and the deep sa, unles he would perish. My guest would not awaken. So I -went to my own chamber —he was In the room next the living room—arid from my bed I took a sheet. Os it, and two pillows and several books to give the thing weight, I made a clumsy effigy of a man. I wrapped a dark overcoat around the figure, buttoned It, tied string about it to keep it in place, and went quietly to the window. I raised it and looked out. Tha window opened on a vacant area in the rear of the building. Below Its sill, a good four feet below it, was a ledge perhaps two feet wide. I lifted my effigy through the window, lowered it and placed it carefully upon the ledge. It was quite heavy; I had placed several books Inside it. It would not balance truly upon the ledge, but fastening it with a string to the handle on the inside of the window, whereby it was raised, the bundle or effigy would stay in

place. And when I closed the window the dark twine was not noticeable Inside the room. I drew the curtain to make sure that the twine would not be observed by Thomassen. Os course dwellers in the distant buildings might see my bundle when light came with the morning. But New Yorkers are incurious about their neighbors. Strange things can occur without arousing questions. And anyway, this was a chance I had to take. And having taken it, I went to bed.
I COULD READ THE MURDERER’S BRAIN. • * • Thomassen awakened me in the morning. He was ravenously hungry, and I was forced to prepare him a breakfast. I marveled at his nerve as he ate lam fairly composed myself, but I only ate in order that his suspicions might not be aroused. For I must seem to him reconciled to his presence and hij purpose. The man was like a wild beast. If he

became suspicious, he would kill. But he thought that he understood me. I was philosophic enough so make the best of a bad situation, he reasoned. He let me have the ipartment. to fetch the jewels from the safe deposit box, with hardly a reminding threat to force ms not to play him false. Cautioning him to keep away from the windows, and to answer no, rings at the doorbell or telephone, I left him. "You’re more scared than I am.” were his last words to me. "And I’m facing the chair, while you’ve got nothing to be afraid of but Sing Sing.” • • • I confess that I shuddered as he mentioned the name of the grim prison up the Hudson. I feared death less than I did capture by the police. Indeed. I was going to prove the truth of what I have just said. For I was going to risk death. I had procured a week before, the number of the telephone installed in the furnished house which, under the imposing alias of the Due de Montarlier, the White Eagle had rented early in the winter. Trembling with excitement from a telephone booth in a drug store on Amsterdam Ave., I called up this number. The chances were a hundred to one that the White Eagle no longer resided here. His servants had been let go, and his bags had been packed, in preparation for hurried flight on the night that he had robbed Anderson. But the fact that I had relieved him of his booty might have changed his plans. The White Eagle was daring. He knew that It was unlikely that Anderson suspected his loss. And when the millionaire sailed for South America, it was obvious that the theft had not been discovered. There was no reason, then, why Artnand Cochet should not continue living in the house off the Avenue. A less bold thief . ould be certain to flee, but the White Eagle was one in a million. I prayed that he would answer the telephone. Ha did so. I recognized the menacing tones. And I wasted no time in preliminaries. "Cochet, this is a friend. The other night you were robbed.” A lesser man would have given way to excitement, but the White Eagle's nerves were of steel. I could hear a faint gasp, swiftly suppressed, hut that was all. "I am an enemy of the man who robbed you,” I declared. It was the truth; every man is his own worst enemy. “I know where he is to be tonight. He and his partner will be dividing the Anderson Jewels at •

o’clock. They will be in a bedroom in an apartment on Central Park West.” His Iron will could repress his excitement no longer. “The address! the man’s name?” he cried. I laughed softly. "Patience, my friend. Suppose I gave you that address now? Could you restrain your desire for revenge until tonight? Although I am proving my friendship by this Information, you would not trust me. No. my friend, you will receive the information at eightthirty. A messenger will come to you, bearing an envelope which will contain the information you wish, and a key to the apartment, in order that you may enter quietly-” “A trap!” said Cochet. I laughed more loudly. "To what end? If I spoke for the police—but that is absurd. If the police knew of you, they would be at youi> door.” "Who are you?” he demanded. * But I hung up without answering. I thought I knew my man. Revenge and greed would cause him to come to my apartment. So I went to a messenger office. Then I wrote a note to the Due de Montarlier. I described my apartment, and told him the exact situation of my bedroom. I put an extra key to the apartment in the envelope, as I had promised, and gave it to the manager of the office with strict instructions not to deliver it until eight-thirty. His satlsfacion with the generous tip I gave him convinced me that he would obey my Instructions implicitly. If he didn't —well, that was a chance I must take.

parcel which contained the casket of jewels that had belonged to Marcus Anderson. I returned to my apartment—and then began the hardest part of my task. This was to keep Thomassen in my rooms until after dark. For the plan which I had conceived needed darkness in its execution. Naturally, my unwelcome guest was In a fever of impatience to depart, once he had glimpsed the Anderson treasures. But I played upon his fears. The police, I tojd him, were scouring the city. Every station, every ferry, every road and bridge were guarded. He would have no chance whatsoever of passing the cordon in daylight. Indeed, for him to appear upon any street, however secluded, was dangerous. I convinced him, at length. It was the most trying day of my life. I could read the thoughts in the murderer’s brain. We had divided the jewels, and he had been a shade too equitable In the division. I knew that he was thinking, all the time, that he might as well have them all. I only hoped that he would
