REPUBLICANS WILL Use MONEY.
To Make n Desperate Effort in State

The Republicans will begin a vigorous
campaign in st. Louis two weeks prior to
the election. AT the meeting of the Repub-
lican State Committee, held at the LiDdell
Hotel last Monday, the matter was dis
cussad at some length. II Is proposed to
throw many spellbinders into St Louis

for Governor, will be in St. Louis at that
time. and he proposes TO make speeches in
every ward In the city.
What campaign money the State Com
mirtee has been able to secure will be used
literally in ST. Louis. National Committee
man Kerens has finally agreed to help Mis-
souri, out in the matter of finances. IL is
proposed by the big boss at Chicago TO dis
tribute the funds in the various congress
sional districts in the interest of the legiS-
lative nominations.
What is left of this amount Of Doodle to
be appropriated 10 the use Of the party in
Missouri will be spent In St Louis on eec-
ton day. The State Committee is raising a
fund to use In the last week prior to the
election. and il reports are TO be relied
upon this fund is expected to aggregate at
least slood1 in St Louis alone. T ne amount
to be expended in the State will be about
twice as much.
In order that the fund may go into the
channel to which ii is directed, n system
of espionage of the distribution will be in
augurated. Each man who handles any of
the funds from the National Committee will
be required to forward receipts in detail of
the expenditures. Each item Will be set
down, and there are three ways in which
the fund will be utilized.

HARRISON REBUKED M'KINLEY.
Republicans Sorely Disappointed
With Former Presidents Letter.

Kinley more harm than good Very few
Republicans are pleased with II, and all Of
them frankly confess that II Is disappoint-

cans. That is General Haffison's unlocked
for admission that during the excitement
last winter over the Porto Rican bill he
characterized that measure "a grave
departure from right principles" 1t will
he recalled that when this statement first
found its way into print the Hannaites
expressed the opinion attributed to him.
No claim was made by those who believed
the former President had made the state
ment that IL was said in an interview for
publication. All that anybody claimed on
that point was that General Harrison had
used the language quoted In private con-
versation with a friend. and that his con-
fidences was betrayed when his opinion OF
the oxnardized Porto Rican bill was given
to the press.
The significance of his reiteration Of this
statement in his carefully prepared inter-
view is obvious. It is argued that If General
Harrison had not wanted to give the Han
naitgs n sharp gaff he would not have re-
peated word for word and thus give author
ity to A statement which heretofore has
been cried down by Mr.. McKinley's mana
gers as n mere rumor, his opinion on the
administration's colonial policy, namely:
Il regard the bill az grave departure

Nothing SeVerer than this mas been Said
by anyb body OF President McKinley's course

Harrison's opinion supports the Democratic
contention that the Constitution follows tho
