AT HEADQUARTERs-wooD WOOD
RUFF LOW AND cHoATE TO MAKE
ADDRESSES on WEDNESDAY.
The Republican State Committee has not yet
begun to make up any schedule for public meet
ings in the campaign. but IL has become evident
that there will be plenty of volunteer RepubIi-
can orators for all the meetings. Many SPELL
binders who have been accustomed 10 talk to
large audiences in Republican campaigns have
volunteered their services In the campaign for
the election Of Colonel Roosevelt and the rest Of
the State ticket. Chairman Odell Of the State
Committee says these offers indicate widespread
enthusiasm for the ticket. The nomination OF
Colonel Roosevelt for Governor has united the
Republican party in the State as we'll as in this
city, so thoroughly that the managers Of the
campaign declare 1t is only necessary to get out
the full Republican vote 10 elect the ticket by an
overwhelming majority. Many Of the Repubi-
cans who have been a. the State Committees
headquarters in the Fifth Avenue Hotel. say
they have yet hear of a Republican who Is
not enthusiastic for the State ticket. and they
have heard of many Democrats who will vote
for Colonel Roosevelt

Minister TO Spain, will preside at the meeting.
and the other speakers will be Lieutenant Gov

The meeting postponed from the date orisi-
naly set to Wednesday evening because

sagement The appearance OF Mr.. Low as a
