there has been under consideration
for some time past the proposition
to send speakers into the southern states and
make an aggressive campaign for the party
in that section. The conclusion has just been
evoked that it would be impracticable to
attempt anything except in Florida and vir-
ginia. The bulldozers in the other states
have things very we'll in hand, and intend to
maintain their supremacy at any cost. 1t is
consider waste of raw material
to try to do anything there. In
Florida the advices received at head
quarters here show very good chance for
gers, however, do not want any speakers, but
them To Virginia, both money for legti-
mate campaign expenses and speakers will
be sent. The war between the Rea usters
and regular Democrats in that state becomes
more bitter every day. The Republicans
ahead. Nothing will be left untouched that
will insure this result. DR.. Jorgensen, the
only Republican member of Congress in the
state, who is in the city to-day, says that if

adiusters are not healed, the electoral vote

THE PRESIDENT AND THE CAMPAIGN.
The president expects to leave about the
middle or latter part of August for Ohio,
where he will remain until early in Septem.
Der and then 60 to California and the Pacific
slope. He was approached yesterday by q
member of the Republican congressional
campaign committee with the request that he
make several speeches during his visit to the
extreme west, especially in California, in be-
half OF the Republican presidential ticket.
The president said that ever since it had be-
come known that he was going to California,
he had been in receipt Of letters from that
state asking him to make speeches
during his visit. He had at first decided not TO
have ANYTHING to say but the usual reply to
speeches of welcome. He was, however,
anxious to do everything in his power to
secure the election of the Republican ticket,
as were all the members of bis cabinet. As
it was thought that word or SO from him
would do good, he had no hesitancy in saying
that he would be prepared to respond in be-
half of the Republican nominees. He would
prepare himself for that work as q part of
bis western trip. The Republican managers
are generally pleased at the presidents re-
DIV. and say that it assures entire harmony
in the party and consequent success.
