Republican Efforts to BE More
Thorough This Year.
NEW YORK, June 22.-B. b. Odell, Chair
man of the Republican State Committee,
outlined his campaign this afternoon, say
! ing: We will get to work without de-
| lay. / will go to Newburg this afternoon
! When l return on Monday the work of
sending out literature will begin. That Is
J to be the first move in the campaign.
/ Later. Speaking arrangements will be
| made. and we will see that the supply of
| spelibinders meets the demand There will
be no formality about opening headquar-
tiers and beginning campaign operations.
| We have headquarters open here all the
| year.
The Republican County Committee will
| open the local campaign with n ratification
meeting at Carnegie Hall on June &c. Seth
Low will preside and Senator ]. B. For
aker of Ohio will be the principal speaker.
Governor Roosevelt was down on the pro-
grannme for the chief speech. but he said
today that he would be obliged to cancel
the engagement, as his nomination for Vice
President made it necessary for him to
avoid speechmaking until later. The
| County Committee is looking for man
to take the Governors place at the meet
ing but has not found him. 1t was said
that Senator Thurston OF Nebraska might
be invited.
After the ratification meeting the County
Committee will take a rest until q rev
president is elected. on July 5. Then the
district work will begin. William H. Ten
Eyck, who is TO be Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee. will arrange for district
meetings and look after the routine cam
paign work generally.
General Greene had a talk with Senator
Plat. and said afterward: II have read
the report that | am to be turned down
There is nothing in it as far as | know. The
same reasons that induced the local Re-
publican organization to bring for
ward as its candidate for President of the
County Committee will induce it to eject
me next month. The party is thoroughly
united. Some of us thought that Governor
Roosevelt should remain at Albany: but
the country insisted on his nomination for
Vice President. We all think now that the
action of the Philadelphia Convention was
for the best interests of the party, and
there is no dissatisfaction anywhere"
Outwardly there is nothing but harmony
existing in the ranks Of the Republican
County Committee. LemueI E. Quigg said
that he did not care to discuss commit tee
matters at all further than to say he was
going to resign at the next meeting
General Green said later. Il had con-
ference with Mr.. odell and Mr.. Gibbs yes
terday and it was at my suggestion that
the meeting was postponed from last night
until July 5. l had very pleasant chat
this morning with Mr.. Plat. The stories
of friction between myself and the party
leaders are untrue
The Republican National Committee will
not open headquarters until the Candidates
for President and Vice President have been
formally notified. 1t is expected that
Chairman Hanna will manage the cam
paign on the same lines as in 1896: tfat
is, establish headquarters in Chicago. and
branch headquarters in this city More
importance will be given to the New York
headquarters. however as the Republican
managers acknowledge that there is to
be no walkover in New York this year
In 1896, 1t was so apparent that New York
would go Republican that branch office
was maintained by Mr.. Hanna at No l
Madison Square more to crafty New
York's pride than for any other reason.
Mr.. Hanna, it is said, now comedies that
there will be real fight in New York,
and some other Eastern States. and he
will give considerable attention to the At
lantic Seaboard.
