This week will see a wind up of the
distribution of literature by the polit-
zeal headquarters at Washington.
Scattering punches of it may be sent
out after this week, but the amount
from then to the end of the campaign
Will not be as great as the amount
heretofore sent out in one day. Orders
to printers have about ceased, and the
amount of literature at each of the
headquarters has been allowed to
dwindle for the last two weeks. The
Republicans have larger quantity on
hand than any of the other parties
The Populists have something like 2OO.-
900 pieces which will go out this week.
Secretary Edgerton says that the sill
yer party has about the same quantity,
while the Democrats have a few thou
sand pieces. 1t is estimated in some
quarters that 1000, 0O0, 900 pieces of lit
erature have been distributed by all
parties from all headquarters since the
LIST of last January. This is simply a
guess. but the amount is greater than
in all previous campaigns for thirty
years put together.
