IN THE EGOVERNOR'S
Mcki rley men have any umber of
affidavits from members Of the order to
prove MAJ. McKinIey's patriotism and
loyalty TO the principles OF the American
Protective Association. II is undoubtedly
fact that the evidence for Mckinley is
much stronger than that against him, but
the executive committee claims it did
only what was left for it to do, with the
evidence before 1t.
Rumors were afloat today that several
of the members of the executive COM
mittee of the national advisory board
those who had signed the defamatory cir
culars against Maj. Mckinley. had been
indicted hy the United States grand jury
aor sending defamatory matter through
the mails. This could not be verified,
yet it is generally agreed that there is
cause for action.
The committee on presidents message
has been busy disSecting that document,
but have not yet reported any of it to the
council.
Already efforts to secure the supreme
council or next year for the Eastern sec
tion of the cou ntry are being made. A large
delegation arrived in Washington this morn
ington from Baltimore to secure the coun-
Gil of 81 for the Monumental City. The
delegates were Rev. 4. J. Gill. Frank H.
