oorresr ondent. Mr.. Miller said:
II have been travelling for five weeks past IN the
States OF Kansas Illinois, Indiana. Michigan and
Ohio. and liz that time have made addresses al
forty meetings As a result OF my observation
should say that Mckinley and Hobart VIII cer'ai'y
carry every north of the Chic and east Oh the
Mississippi the States OF Iowa and Minnesota west
Of the river: that they will have the best chance OF
carrying the States OF Kansas and Nebraska VIII
nrobablv carry two or three Pacific Coast states.
and that no one ought to be surprised II three or
four Southern States are also carried tor 'he''
No one who has not been in the West can compre-
hend the intensity OF interest In the poiticai con-
test this year which is felt there why men, III

you to put the Republican cause before Democrats

great damage that had been done and are now
working hard to carry the State FOR Mckinley ana
