who has just returned from a conference
with Governor Roosevelt. speaks highly of
the Governors determination TO make a
vigorous campaign. and thus do his part
for victory at the polls in November. Our
candidate for Vice President" Mr.. Payne
said, certainly intends to bear his share
of the burden. When the great political
storm of the campaign gets in motion and
sweeps across the country. all disappoint-
mentS, personal preferences, diSagreementS
and differences of opinion will disappear.
We are going to have a great campaign.
The Chicago Headquarters" Mr.. Payne
continued, will be the center of hard work
this year. We will cover the entire Sec
ton west of the Allegheny mountains. We
will make an active campaign this year in
every one of the Western mountain States.
for we believe every one of them can be
carried for Mckinley and Roosevelt. 1 am
