Speaker Reed is expected in Chicago
October J. The Illinois Steel Workers
Sound Money club of South Chicago,
which is said to have a membership of
ZOO, has invited the speaker to address
the organization in South Chicago and he
has accepted, Senator Cullom, who is to
be one of the speakers at the Canton
rally tomorrow, arrived at headquarters
from the Egypt section of Illinois, where
he has been making numerous speeches.
He said his observations convinced him
Illinois would give Mckinley a tremend-
GUS majority, He admitted the fusion of
the Popuists and Democrats in many
southern Illinois counties would keep the
Democratic vote to its normal size; but
with voters of the Old parties there was
strict adherence to party lines. The SEN
aJor will go 10 Kentucky for three
speeches after leaving Canton.
Committeeman and others at head
quarters Were greatly disappointed to
learn that BENJAMIN Harrison had de-
clined 10 make any speaking engagements
Tor the present. It is known that law
court engagements and magazine work
VIII keep him busy until October !, but
as the eX-president has not said he would
make no speeches during the campaign, il
It believed he can be induced by intimate
friends within the party TO deliver sew
eral addresses in-,the west, especially one
in Chicago.

South Dakota, came in to ask for a promi-
nent speaker to answer the Democratic
speeches which viii be made at the fair

been arranged to run into Sioux Falls

employees and it is only recently they
have been asking for sound money or
tarim literature
lie asked for lot of literature to be
sent him for distribution, and he will
get it.
