REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN ON
MAINLAND WAS STILL HOT

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Senator NJ. A
Hanna, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, has issued final
statement to voters for the close Of the
Presidential campaign of 1900 in which
he says:
-Four years ago, at the close of
campaign marked by great earnestness
and a candor of discussion, l felt justi-
fed in appealing to all voters OF the
United States, irrespective of party, to
last their votes for William Mckinley.
To-day conditions even more clearly
Justify similar appeal. Then the
currency of the country was threaten
ed in open and explicit terms, and this
threat was recognized as endangering
the savings of the wage earners, the
prosperity of the farmers, the activity
of the manufacturer and the safety of
the business man. Coupled with this
was a threat of interference with the
judiciary and the proper administra-
ton of law and order, and this endan-
gered the very life of the Nation.
-Four years ago the country and peo-
financial distress such as this genera
ton had never witnessed, and the Re-
publican party believed that legislation
which would encourage home indus
tries while it assured a sound financial
system, would restore prosperity to all
classes. With this belief, an appeal
was made to all voters, irrespective of
party, and their response elected Will
liam Mckinley by the largest plurality
even known, with a single exception,
and also a Republican Congress
Following the legislation which fol-
lowed came prosperity such as this
country has never known. official re-
ports of the Department of Labor show
that wages have risen to a higher rate
than ever before in this country, where
labor receives the highest reward, and
the demand for labor in all lines of in
dustry was never greater. The reports
of the railways show a larger number
OF men employed than ever before. The
reports of the savings basks show that
the workingmen and women of the land
have increased their deposits s454, OOO.-
