Mr.. LfttIefeld's Itinerary.
The republican congressional committee
will have but four speakers directly under
its auspices in the campaign. The four in
question are Speaker Henderson, Repre-
sentative Hepburn of Iowa. Representative
Dalzell Of Pennsylvania and Representative
Littlefield of Maine. The latter Is to be a
star attraction. The people of the west
do not know him well, and he is to be
brought to their favorable attention. Out
here his famous speeches In the last ses-
sion of Congress have practically been for
gotten But the committee is advertising
him WELL and expects to make hit His
| last speech the greatest of all. his speech
| on the trusts, will be used as the text dur
| ing his coming canvass, and he Is expected
| To- do about all the talking on the trusts
| that will be done by the congressional bu-
| reau speakers. His itinerary has just been
| completed. and he will begin his tour Sep
tember 10 in Muskegon. Mich. He will
| make five speeches in Michigan, eight in
| Indiana where the trust question Is per-
| haps more important than elsewhere, a
number in Illinois, one in Iowa, four In
| Minnesota, two in Wisconsin, three in Ne
! braska three in Kansas, five in Ohio and
| three in West Virginia. The itineraries OF
! the other three have not yet been pre-
| pared.
| Republican Gains In Illinois.
| The campaign in Illinois Is progressing
| most satisfactorily for republicans. II
| there has been Tanner-Cullom feud, II Is
| no longer in evidence. The republicans OF
| Illinois have not been so harmonious In
many years. The state committee has just
| ahout completed poll OF the state, and
| the exact result will be known in week
| or two when all the poll books have been
| received. Chairman Mckinney OF the exec
utive committee says that the returns show
/ that the state will go for Mckinley by ar
even larger majority than 1t did four years
! ago He says every county but four shows
| increased republican IldJoIity, diiu IL
| the four exceptions there has been nc
! falling off. The state committee has sen,
| out thousands of circulars sounding a note
| of warning against over-confidence and
| apathy and has used some of Senator
| Hanna's well-known words on this subjec,
| to give additional weight to the argument
| The result is said to be making itself fel,
| already.
There was one campaign incident recently
| which gave the committee a good deal OF
| pleasure, and which is being generally com.
mented upon because Of the peculiar coin
| cidences Ii carries.
