WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
Illinois in the Forthcoming Ma
tiOnal Campaign.
raech Headquarters of the Dem
oeratic National Committee in
Chica- O-COngressmanC Cable

AS shown By the New York dispatches,
a. the meeting of the campaign commit
Tee or the democratic national committee
Thursday, it was decided to establish
headquarters at Chicago, the territory as
signed TO the same embracing seven west
ern states, namely: Illinois. Iowa. Wis
cons'n, Michigan, Minnesota, North Da>
kota and South Dakota. The Herald
says: The seven western states named
are placed in entire charge of a subcom
mittee' This subcommittee was sp-
pointed today and consists of Messrs
Dickinson of Michigan. Cable of Illinois
and Wall of Wisconsin. MI Dickinson
was named first on the committee by
Chairman Hsrrity, and this fact appar-
emily makes him the chairman and active
man. But Mr.. Dickinson is also chair
man of the campaign committee of the
national committee AID will be needed in
New York the greater part of the time.
1t is. therefore, expected that the other
members of the subcommittee. Gable and
Wal will have the bulk OF the Chicago
work upon their shoulders. They are
both capable men. active and enthusiasts
tic, and good organizers. The probable
tiles are that Congressman Gable will lie
the most active member at the Chicago
office, although the details of the orgaL-
iza,iou have not been decided upon and
will not be until Mr. Dickinson RECEIVERS
from the indisposition from which he is
now suffering and meets his fellow menu
bers of the committee in consultation. 1t
is expected that Messrs. Gable and Wall
will proceed to Chicago next week. open
headquarters and organize force OF
workers
The establishment of the Chicago
headquarters means the carrying of the
campaign actively into Illinois, and is due
to Committeeman Cables exertions
The Herald says:
Congressman Gable was delighted at
the decision of the committee to estab-
lish western offices. The very fact
that the national committee has paid this
compliment TO the democrats Of the west
will have good effect" he said. West
ern dem crats were never before so
much in earnest nor SO aggressive in
half dozen western states They will
feel that the national organization is
with them in their struggle for what has
been the republican stronghold. OF
course the Chicago headquarters will be
subsidiary to and auxiliary Nth the ma
tional ccmuittee rather ,hsI Independ
ent of il, and working in complete har-
monv with the national committee.
Sat. committees are of too much inn
portance, are TOO vitat to our success, to
be ignored and it will be the duty of the
organic alton which may be established at
the western office to help the state COM
mittees in every way in their power. l
know something OF the situation in the
seven western states which the subcom-
mittee is too look after, and l have little
doubt that we shall carry number of
these states for Cleveland and Stevenson.
In Illinois and Wisconsin the outlook is
really encouraging, as shown by the fact
that the republican leaders are already
much alarmed about the result of the
elections in those states The west is
destined to play an important part in the
restoration of the democratic party to
power at Washington"
