REPUBLICAN PLANS.

HALF A DOZEN STATES.
THE FEDERAL SEEATOUSHIpS.
The Ohio Situntion-The Virginia.
Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, sna
Massachusetts CampaigEs - The
"sound-MoDey" League.

CHICAGO. August 23.-The Republi-
can managers are preparing for cam-
paigns in half dozen States where
local elections are TO be held this fall.
Henry c. Payne. national executive
committeeman from Wisconsin,; Charles
5. Dawes. OF Illinois; Colonel Rand, OF
Wisconsin,: Il. V. Smalley. OF the Ma
tional Sound-Money League: George E-
Roberts, of Iowa, and s. r. Perkins,
secretary to Senator NJ. A. Hanna, and
notwithstanding OF the National Re-
publican Committee, are In the city.
and In conference with NJ. J. Dowling.
secretary Of the National Republican,
League. regarding the policy OF the
State campaigns in the election OF
United States senators at stake. Two
informal conferences have been held
which were participated in by Henry
c. Payne. Colonel Rand. Charles q.
Dawes. Secretary Perkins, OF the Coli
lege league, and Secretary Bowling. at
which Mr.. Dowling's plans for work in
the various States were discussed.
The plans OF the league will be de-
termined as soon as Major Charles Dick.
Of Ohio, secretary OF tho Republican
National Committee, arrives. Mr.. Dick
stands very close TO Senator Hanna.
and will represent the national chairs
man in the conference.
one feature Of especial moment In tha
conference will be the Ohio campaign
The situation in Ohio is peculiar one.
and the desire of those high in thu
councils of the party is that no mistake
shall be made.
What part. IL any. the Republican
league will take In the elections In W.T.
glnia, Iowa, Kentucky. Maryland. and
Massachusetts, Will also be determined
OH at the coming meeting.
The question as to the propriety of
the leagues renewing tho relations with
the National Committee. which were SO
effective last year In the national cam
paign, is also an important one. Early
in July Secretary Bowling and General
McAlpin, whp was at that time presi-
dent OF the league. perfected an ar
rangement with Chairman Hanna, which
practically placed the league In tho re-
| lative position of an auxiliary of tho
national committee. but under It's i'm
mediate Jurisdiction. This was done to
avoid any cSshing OF purposes. as had
been the case in previous years. 1t is
considered probable that this plan will
again be adopted.
CONFERENCE FALLS THROUGH
CHICAGO, August 23.-The conferences
Of Republican League and National COM
mittee leaders did not materialize to-day.
Senator Hanna was unable To get here,
and Chairman Dick, OF the Ohio commit
tee. could not reach Chicago to-day. and
is not expected before the latter part OF
the week. Meanwhile Henry c. Payne.

Hanna's private secretary. have gone To-
their homes. II. V. Smalley, of the Ma
tional Sound Money League, Is stlll In tho
