Nebraska Man is the First Warrior to so
Gut and Raise His Voice.
Chicago, July 31.-Senator John
NJ. Thurston stands first on the Repub-
hcan national committees list CT cam
paign speakers. He has been assigned
to take the stump tonight at Madison,
Wis, and will make a series VI six
speeches within the next two weeks.
After his opening at Madison, ehich
event, by the way, can be said TO be
the inauguration of the campaign by
the western department, he Will speak
at Milwaukee August 5, st. Paul, Aug
usU1; Duluth, August s; Topeka, Kan,
August II, and Ottumwa, Ia, August
Is. Thereafter Senator ThurstOn will
be transferred to the New York head
quarters, and will be sent from there on
a short tour through the eastern states.
Early in September he will return to
Chicago and receive assignments tor
an extended trip throughout the prairie,
the mountain and the Pacific coast re-
gions.
There is a great demand Cor Nj
Thurston from the chairmen of sta te
central committees everywhere. Conse-
quently his time will be fully occupied
until the day Of election Having not
only been permanent chairman of the
convention that nominated Mckinley
and Hobart, but having made the most
brilliant speech listened to there, in the
presentation of McKinley's name, the
people are anxious to see and hear him.
At least this is what the state chair
men write in their letters.
The fact, however. that Mr.. Thurston
was listed and assigned to duty by Will
lam NJ. Hahn. who has charge of the
speakers, in no wise overshadowS the
prominence other orators will take in
the campaign work. He is available
at this time, while a good many who
will be in the field later on are not yet
present in shape to take the stump.
Ex-Congressman Roswell G. Horn OF
Michigan is quite as much in demand
through the west, where he has made
speeches before, as is Senator Thurs
ton. HIS name is second onthe list, and
he will start out next week. During
August Mr.. Horn will make six speeches
in Nebraska and ten in Minnesota
Other men OF prominence will be sent
into Kansas and the Dakotas, where
Republicans are clamoring for speeches
on the money question.
Mr.. Hahn had his hands full of bust
ness yesterday. and filed letters from $50
speakers, more or less prominent in pub
lie life, offering their services. Then
he had long conference with Senator
who came in from Omaha,
accompanied by A. VI. Post. chairman
OF the Republican state central COM
mite In Nebraska. Mr.. Posts object
In visiting Chicago was to confer With
the national managers, and give them
an idea OF the situation I'm his state. so
they could best appreciate the sort of
campaign necessary 20 be made there
now.
