In the Day's News
Frank H. Hitchcock, whose ser
vices have been enlisted in behalf
of the candidacy of Major General
Leonard Wood for the Republican
presidential nomination, has had
wide experience in practical poli
tics and the management of polit
ical campaigns. Mr. Hitchcock is
an Amherst college graduate, who
rose from subordinate department
posts at Washington to head the
department of commerce and labor
in 1903-4, and of the postoffice de
partment in 1909-13. In the pres
idential campaign of 190S he was
chairman of the Republican na
tional committee, and managed the
fight for the Republicans before
and after the nominatipn of Mr.
Tift. Eight years later he directed
the campaign of Mr. Hughes for
the presidential nomination. A
lawyer by profession, with marked
executive ability and a skill in
practical politics that has made
him useful again and again, when
enlisted in behalf of men and of
causes, Mr. Hitchcock retains con
siderable influence in circles where
tactics count for much.
