Undertaking and Manager w. S. Rich
ards, of the speakers bureau, has
adopted plan which he believes will
|avoid all errors. He has, for instance,
a great number of calls for Governor
Shaw. He lists these and sets about
making an assignment. With the as
sistance of a railroad map and rail-
way guide the task is begun. Every
mile of the route must be planned
carefully in advance; the leaving and
|arriving time of every train must be
known and the slightest minutiae are
Ito be considered. When it is all figured
out route card is made in duplicate,
showing the exact connections. arriv-
ing and leaving time of trains, and
sometimes indicating at what hotel the
speaker must stop. One copy OF this
routing is given to the speaker, the
other is retained in the office of the
committee.

ant and Congressman Cousins at AL
gona on that date.
Secretary of State Dobson, who is
one of the best campaigners in the
state, is working steadily, and declares
that the republican speakers are going
| to have a circus with their opponents
this year if the anti-eXpansion lead Of
Mr. White is followed. Mr.. Dobson has

the letters of Thomas jefferson TO
| James Monroe, written while Jefferson

make the Louisiana purchase without
ldoing too much violence to the still
tender and inexperienced constitution.
