COLUMBUS, Ohio, Au. 18. Your haa lately spent several days at Dayton. In this contact with the Democratic candidate's home town, one was conscious of several marked lmpres . . aions quite different from the preconceived onus baaed on the early and hasty newspaper dispatches that come out of Dayton Immediately after the nomination, As to some of these Impressions dealing with dot s personal background and with the attitude of Dayton toward him. one would rather wait for the maturing and confirming of the Impressions before to write them, but, there Is one definite Unpreasloa. which la shared by all the. other newspaper men with whom I have talked. Neither Cog, nor those Immediately around him. nor the Democratic committee, has yet awoke to of the fact that they compose onl-ha- lf the great national .campaign and that of that campaign haa more than one-ha- lf 'already passed and that less than three months remain.

It Is in marked contrast with Hardings home st Merlon, where the secretarial end clerical help taken on for the campaign already fllle one house and Is about to overflow Into another. For the most part, probably, this to the lack of organised expansion-- of due Demochange In the chairmanship andthethe national fact committee, cratic that no new machine can possibly get under way as promptly as the old one could . r s I have. , - Cant Buy a Multigraph Unless.

All friends and associates picture him as hla career and would extremely aggressive seem to prove that quality. His friends say that when he really gets going and uts hie back Into the campaign, he Is ho Douglts Fairbanks of politics.
