POLITICS ARE BARRED
DIRECTOR HARPER ON THE COMING
GA. II. ENCAMPMENT.
Parties and Party Managers Have No
Place i'm Ii - Caustic Reply
to CaptiOus Critics.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Regarding the re-
ports that the Grand Army Encampment
is to have a political aspect. Executive Di-
rector Harper said tonight: There is alb
solutely no politics in the coming national
encampment. Never in the history of this
organization has there been an annual en-
carnpment to which the President of the
United States has not been invited as the
chief executive officer of the Nation. We
naturally follow the precedent established
in this matter. Mr.. Mckinley, however, is
also the most distinguished comrade of
the G. A. r. He is not to be the only
special guest of Chicago and the encamp-
ment The list of notable men whom we
have asked to come to Chicago as special
guests number nearly twenty-five people.
When the formal invitation sent by
General John C. Black. chairman Of the
committee on invitations, TO President Nc
Kinley. similar invitation was forwarded
to William j. Bryan. The President has
accepted. Mr.. Bryan almost Immediately
acknowledged the receipt of the invitation,
but did not give us definite reply We
want him here at the time of the encamp-
ment and certainly will extend to him
every courtesy in our power. There is no
politics in this encampment; all we want
is an immense crowd in Chicago to well
come and honor the survivors of the civil
war. More than 5000 general invitations
have already been sent broadcast, the list
including the President and his Cabinet,
the foreign legations at Washington, the
judges of the Supreme Court, every men,
Der of the United States Senate and House
of Representatives, the Governors and
other leading executive officers of every
State in the Union and hundreds of notable
men in private life.
Not for moment has any mans poll
tics been considered. Invitations have been
acknowledged by ex-Presidents Harrison
and Cleveland: and in none of the mass of
replies received has politics been men,
campment will be a nonpartisan affair, ir-
respective of the claims of any political
party or party managers.
From the published reports il would ap
pear that arrangements are being made
for political parade in honor of the Pres
ident. The only parades sanctioned by the
encampment committee are those already
arranged for--the naval veterans and ex-
prisoners of war on Monday and the grand
parade of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie on Tuesday. These professions will be
exclusively of veterans-political organiza
tions are barred.
1T may be of interest to state that Gen.
John G. Black, chairman of the committee
on invitations, is a Democrat, and that the
by him. Mayor Harrison is also member
of that committee. All the working COM
mittees of the encampment were organized
irrespective of politics..

Figures are misleading in a way. for
Reiff's superiority over Loates on Eng
lish courses this year is far greater than
the wins indicate. Lester Reiff got first
money in l43 starts out of a total OF o5S.
It took Loates no less than 500 starts to
win 1871 times. That is to say. Reiff av-
eraged a little more than one winner out
of every three MOUNTS. while Loates
landed only one winner in every five
mounts.
