@ All was u scene OF hustle and activity
sSnt the state headquarters Inst night
when an lntclligcncer reporter called.
twenty-five or thirty of the state ed
itors, who had arrived on the evening
trains, were present. and Secretary A,
Il. White was having his hands full en-
PERTAINING them and answering uucs-
lions regarding the progress OF the cam
paisn and the Republican outlook gen.
Il orally.
Being n newspaper man himself, Sec
rotary White knew Just how to be In
terviewed and acquitted himself In a
most satisfactory manner. He proved
also To be something OF an expert inter-
viewer himself. n succeeded III getting
some very good news from the visiting
brethren. The reports from nil parts OF
the state were to the effect that the Re-
publican outlook Is OF tho most Gncour-
aging nature.
a sample Report.
One OF the most prominent OF the vis-
!tors was Editor J. j. Peterson, OF the
Huntington Herald. cx-unIied States
consul to Tegucigalpn. Honduras, under
the Harrison administration Mr.. Peter
son expressed the feeling that prevailed
among all the newspaper men present
when he said in answer to n question:
The cause of sound money and pro-
lection Is gaining strength every day
In our part Of the state. All talk about
disaf1ectlon among Republicans on ac-
count OF the silver question Is grossly
exaggerated, 1t Is a part OF the Popo-
cratic game Of blur. Down In our part
or the state they tell us That the free
silver sentiment Is strong over In some
other section: when you go there they
refer you to still another section, but
you can never find the s1-callcd tidal
wave, In the southern part OF the state
they tell you that the people are going
wila over free silver up In the Wheeling
region. Since have been here l find
that those stories are unfornded, but
that PopocratS say the sentiment Is
sweeping things in the southern .coun-
ties.
And so 1t Is: wherever you 20, the
Z silver craze Is always somewhere else
and you can run II down in this way
until you are forced 10 the conclusion
that the Republicans are lined up and
that the reports Of dlSairection arc CAM
paign %roorbachs started In a vain effort
to start a stampede. The sober truth
Is. that where you find one free silver
Republican you will find ten sound
money Democrats. You see how IL is
In Ohio county. 1t is pretty much TINT
way elsewhere in the state"
This is a fair sample OF the talk by
all the visitors.
