TO COMBAT THE HERESY
Ex-PRESIDENT HARRISON, SPEAK
ER REED, SENATOR SHERMAN

And other Statesmen In the Public Con-
fidence VIII Take the Stump This Fall
Major Mckinley Will Take Part in tho
Cleveland Celebration this Week, but
will Return to Canton--Plans of Cam
paign Not Yet Decided Upon.
Canton, o., July 19.-For the first
time since his nomination for the pres
idency Major Mckinley will this week
leave Canton and his own home. The
pressure upon him to visit other cities
for the purpose of making speeches and
participating In celebrations of various
sorts has been persistent and strong.
Fifty towns wanted Major Mckinley
on the Fourth of July, and If he had
given heed to half the requests which
poured In upon him he would have had
scarcely an hour at home since the st.
Louis convention.
Tomorrow Major Mckinley expects
to so to Cleveland, and 1t is not prob
able that he will return to Canton be-
fore Thursday afternoon. His promise
to go to Cleveland to take part in the
centennial exercises is of long standing
and the occasion Is one Of dignity and
Importance, the purpose of it being to
observe in a fitting way the Tooth ami
versary of the settlement of the West
ern Reserve. Wednesday Is found
ers Day." and on that occasion the
formal Inauguration ceremonies occur.
There will be a great many people in
Cleveland this week, from all parts of
the country, and Major Mckinley Will
want to talk to some of then on mat
ters relating to the campaign. He
leaves the details of the management
to Mr.. Hanna and the committee, in all
of whom he has great confidence. At
ter the public functions of Founders
Day Major Mckinley will go to AL
lance on the following day to spend a
few hours at Mount Union college. This
will finish his little tour and he will be
back that night in Canton, where he
will doubtless remain until he goes to
the annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic in Minneapolis
in September
Major Mckinley does not propose, If
he can help it, to be turned from his
purpose Of spending the time between
now and election day at his own home.
He is still averse to taking the stump,
and thinks there will be no occasion to
do so.
The republicans expect to conduct a
very strong speaking campaign. Ma
jor McKinley's managers have more
than fifty men of wide acquaintance
and established reputation upon whom
they can CALL In addition to these well
known spell binders" there are hun
dred and fifty men, who have reputa-
tions in their own and neighboring
states for campaign oratory of uncom-
mon excellence
Ex-President Harrison, Senator For
aker Speaker Reed Senator Thurston,
Charles Emory Smith, Henry Cabot
Lodge, General Stewart L. Woodford,
]. P. Dolliver Senator Sherman, Cover
nor Hastings and C. M. Depew will be
expected to do the heavy work.
Already these have received letters
from scores of cities and committees
asking them to make speeches, but it
is likely that when the national COM
mittee gets to work in its headquarters
all arrangements for meetings will be
made through the medium of its
speakers bureau. Several committees
have been to see ex- President Harrison
and number have called upon Sem
ator Foraker. 1t is understood the lat
ter has promised to go to the Pacific
and that General Harrison will make a
tour through some of the western
states.
Major Mckinley to-day had day of
| uninterrupted rest. For the first time
since his nomination there were no
callers Of note and he was able to de-
vote the day to his own affairs.
