illinois," I am particularly wei
pleased with what has been done il
this state. These Illinois leaders have
gone about their work with a vim that
has accomplished astonishing results ]
think the work of the campaign is far
ther advanced in Illinois. probably
than in any other state"
How about Wisconsin," was ask
ed, and Henry G. Payne, who was stand
ing by, promptly replied: WISCONSIN
does not need any encouragement Wis
consin is all right. Our state will give
two votes for Mr.. Mckinley to every
one for Mr.. Bryan"
Mr.. Hanna smiled his acquiescence
in Mr.. Payne's statement. and contin-
ued: What has impressed me in I'LL
nois has been the interest of the peo-
pie in this campaign, the avidity with
which they have sought literature on
the money question. 1t has been re-
variable. ] never saw such interest
displayed, Without regard to party
lines"
Are you going away satisfied that
the western and middle states which
you need are safe, and that all your
organization needs to do now is to pre-
serve the lines as they have been
DRAWN" Mr.. Hanna was asked.
Wen" he said, we are going to
keep right on fighting, just as if we
had to. There is not going to be any
let UP. We are fighting for a victory.
and We are going TO make the defeat
or the other side just as overwhelming
as We can"
With your campaign organization In
good working order now. will there be
any difference between the relative inn
portance Of the tariff and money is
sues?"
'.As general caterer 1 shall give every
section the sort Of campaign it wants."
Mr.. Hanna answered. 81 might say.
though, as have said before, that the
st. Louis platform will be the text of
the campaign, and every question will
receive the same relative prominence
that 1t received in that document And
the fight on that platform is going to
be general all along the line
You must understand that up to
this time the campaign has been but
little more than in the preliminary
stages. We have given most attention
TO the money question, so far, because
the people have seemed most anxious
to learn something about that. BY
the INST or September the enga cement
in the west will be general. We shall
conunu our educational work. and in
september the campaign on the stump
will open in earnest
Reed? Yes. Mr.. Reed will be on the
stump. He will take hand in the
general fight Immediately after the
state election in Maine. We cannot ask
nm to leave there before that He will
come west, too. Allison? Yes, all Re
1ublicans win have a hand. We shall
not leave our heavy artillery out of
he fight, you may depend upon it. Ev-
cry Republican Is interested In this
campaign, and every Republican is go
ng TO do all he can to fight. The big
runs will boom in the west, too. We
shall have them where the fight is hot
est To use a slang phrase we shall
whoop it up all along the line from
low until the Bird of November"
