The General hears daily from these leaders,
ana their representations are his only polit-

can secure a majority of the delegates from
those States he can destroy the chances of
Harrison and secure the nomination, and he
also realizes that If those States go against
him at Minneapolis on the first ballot his
boom is frustrated for keeps. There is the
basis of the Alger boom.
The information is as straight as if 1t had
come from Alger. With purses in the hands
of able lieutenants, the Southern vote, the
General believes, can be secured. His
lieutenants took it away from Sherman
four years ago, and they believe they can do
it again. The General expects California
to help him. Michigan will compliment
him at first at least, and thus General AL
ger expects to make formidable showing
on the first ballot at Minneapolis that will
paralyze the Presidents supporters. That is
the Alger plan of campaign.
