attracting considerable public attention. 1t is
said that there is good deal more In his prospect
i've candidacy than appears on the surface, and
that the more quiet President makers who are
interested in 1t are biding their time, with view
OF giving him big send-of. probably, when his
spring. The exact date OF the issue will depend
entirely upon his publishers, for It is Knowp that
the matter is all In type.
WHERE HE WAS BORN.

partment credit him to Ohio; tie West Point
