The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1899-04-13

1t is daily becoming palmer to close
observers that Mr.. Mckinley and his
advisers do not regard next years
campaign as Republican walk-over.
They are diligently studying ways and
means for coralling electoral votes that
they consider doubtful The trip that
Mr.. Mckinley is now arranging to
make this summer to the Pacific coast
is one of the ways that has been de-
cided upon. They do not expect to be
able to carry Delaware, Maryland or
Kentucky again, but they hope for
Kansas and Nebraska, both Of which
states are likely to be visited on Mr..
McKinley's western trip. They are
also beginning torealize that some sort
OF bluff against trusts must be mad 9.
Representative Lands, of Indiana, has
gone to Washington especially to urge
upon the administration the necessity
of dong something to convince the
voters of the middle west that the ad-
ministratlon is antagonistic to the
trusts. Mr.. Lands has done some very
plain talking about the danger to the
republican party and it is evident that
he has frightened some Of the admins
tration men.
