MUST SHOW
THEIR HANDS.
The FOraker-Bushnell Element
Must State It's Position.
HANNA'S PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Country Districts to be Worked For q Big
Vote to Offset What VIII
Happen In the
Cities.

New York, Sept. Ex-senator Hanna
today decided upon four important
moves in the political campaign in Ohio.
The first and foremost move will be to
make the Foraker-Bushnel element
show their hand.
The second is that the real battle to
elect Judge George K. Nash governor
will be waged in the country districts
and outside the large cities.
The third Is that Hanna will take the
stump himself and will speak each day
in every section of Ohio, outside the
large cities until the close of the cam
paign.
The fourth is that Hanna will not re-
turn to Washington until the votes are
| counted on election day.
Just what course will be pursued to
cause a showing of hands on the part
of the Foraker Bushnell element has
not yet been fully decided upon. That
such move will be made, though, was
decided upon this afternoon in confer
ence between Senator Hama, Colonel
| Dick chairman of the Ohio state COM
mittee, and others, including Tom
Lowrie, the many-times millionaire
street railway owner of Minneapolis.
Why there should be any call fol
a showing of hands on the part OF
the Foraker Bushnell element is not
stated. But there has been no mincins
of words. The leaders of that element
are to be forced to the front to cut out
a pace. They will not be taken into the
confidence Of the Hannaites. They are
to be treated as in a class of their own
and they are expected to do q lot o!
vote getting for Nash all by themselves
Colonel Dick left for Washington to-
night and will confer with Presiden
! Mckinley on the course to pursue IL
this as in other matters appertaining t
the campaign. This much has beer
decided upon. Notice will be served up
on Foraker and his friends that Fora
ker's term of office as senator has no
long to run. In order to succeed Of re
election it will be made known t
Foraker that great things will be eX
pected of him in the way of placinl
Nash in the governors chair. Wha
else will follow to force Foraker and hi
friends to take up Hanna's battle will
be decided on after Mckinley is hearC
from, and as events present themselva
during the campaign.
WEAK IN THE CITIES.
Already has it developed that the Re
publicans are weak in the cities of Ohio
The business men and the laboring mel
are against Hanna and Hannaism in al
that it implies. They are against bot
/ with a vengeance, too. Therefore tn
country districts are to be worked 70
all they are worth, and to a considerabl

against the cities in a hope of threshin
out victory for Nash in that way. o
course it Is not meant to permit tn
cities to go by default. Far from il
Money galore and every scheme know

| According to the information at han
this is not considered as an operatio
directed particularly against Judg
Nash.
But through Nash, Hanna's creation
is the only way Hanna can be got a

have gathered it, in all the cities tha

Judge Nash, who has been awaitin
instructions in Columbus from Ham
before entering upon his campaign fC
governor, can take the tip as to tt
course to pursue from what follows hel
and govern himself accordingly.
