will not be alone when they make the pill

President of the United States Next Sat
urday the wheelmen from all over the coun-
try will gather at Canton to do honor TO
Major Mckinley and the riders of this city
will not be counted among the missing
The low rate of 81 for the round trip has
been secured, and it is expected that be-
tween 200 and 400 riders will take advantage
of the day and go to Ohio. The enthusi-
asm manifested by the bicyclers is not
equaled by that of any other class of
people. They realize the fact that in the
organization of their clubs there is some
thing for them to do that is real work
and will be of benefit to the party, and
that their sole duty will not be to create
enthusiasm by numbers. and the noise they
can make. This has brought into the
ranks of the Mckinley and Hobart Bicycle
Club many OF the riders of the city who
want to be of actual to the cause of
sound money and willing to give their
time on election day and at other times
to doing whatever may be found for them
to do in the line of acting as couriers and
carrying information and papers from
place to place.
This movement is now less than three
weeks old IN this city, but under the man.,
agement of George N. Catterson it has
expectation of even sanguine in
temperament as Mr.. Catterson. While he
expected to get at least 1000 members be-
fore the election, he did not think that he
would be able to organize fifteen compa-
MES within less than three weeks after UNI
dertakng the task. He says the responses
have been general to his call for workers
to assist in getting up companies There
are still many hundred riders in the city
~
panieS and there is room for more work
ers to take hold of the matter and form
new companies. AS fast new companies
are formed they will elect officers and be
mustered into a regiment. The first regi-
ment is full and the second is being
organized, rather filled for its organiza-
ton completed last Wednesday night
by the election of regimental officers.
There are now about 500 members of this
club and it is expected that before the
trip to Canton there will be over a thou
sand. There are several companies that
are expected to be mustered into regi-
ment at the meeting next Tuesday night.
AS members of companies that are not
mustered in not counted in estimating
the numbers, there many who have
signed the roll not included in the estimate
