gress candidates in the State.
The State is well organized The political con-
test Is becoming fierce but from present indica-
tions 1 think Nebraska is safe for Mckinley and
the State and Legislative tickets.
H. G. LINDSAY. Chairman.
Topeka, Kan. October 2, 1900.
The Republicans will carry Kansas this year.
The good times that have prevailed since the
inauguration Of President Mckinley will
tribute most to this result. The farmers have
had good prices for their wheat their corn, their
cattle, their hogs. their sheep and other prod
ucts. Inc business men nave proSpeIeu' Iney
always do when the farmer prospers. The labor
ing men OF the State have had employment at
fair wages. The contrast between the times
under Cleveland and the times under Mckinley
furnishes an object lesson that will not be tg-
nored by the voters.
In addition, the people of Kansas are thor
oughly in accord with President Mckinley in
his foreign policy. They desire commercial ex-
pansion. even IT, in order to secure it, it is nee
essary to acquire new territory.
In 1898 the Republicans elected seven of the
eight members Of Congress, and this year they

MORTON ALBAUGH, Chairman.
Indianapolis Ind October 2, 1900.
We are working very hard, and not talking
in Indiana this fall. but I will give you a quiet
tip and say that Indiana will go for Mckinley
and the whole State ticket of the Republican
party will be elected

be no great variation as to the number of votes
given the electors from that given to any other
candidate on the State ticket.
GEORGE E. BRYANT, Chairman.
Holland, Mich, October 2, 1900.
The prospects for Republican success this fall
are very bright Michigan will undoubtedly re-
main solidly in the Republican column, and the
electoral vote will go to Mckinley. We also eX-
pect to carry the entire State ticket, and are
making strenuous efforts to retain a solid dele

Some Congressional districts are close, and
there is a good fighting chance for the opposi-

March, will undoubtedly be elected by the next
Legislature. @. J. DIEKEMA, Chairman.
Grand Forks N. D., October g. 1900.
So far as 1 am able to Judge at this time, the
Republican electoral ticket and the State ticket
in this State safe; not only safe, but we hope
TO carry the State by a good majority. There is
some disaffection among the Germans and Cath
olics, but we anticipate that the Republican ma
1ority viii be approximately as great as four
whelmingly Republican, and the Republican
member Of Congress will be elected:
WILLIAM BUDGB Chairman.

Minnesota will give Mckinley a majority OF
10000. The State ticket will receive somewhat
smaller majority, Congressman Tawney in the
1st District, will be elected by from 5000 to
10000 majority; Congressman ATcCleary in the
I'D District, by 10000 10 1900 majority; Con-
gressman Heatwole in the lid. by from 1000

man Fletcher, in the With District, by about
! 5000 majority. The Democrats stubbornly
contestng the election Of Congressman Morris.

the With. but the probabilities that both
of them will be reelected.

Republican success in South Dakota is assured
this year. There is no doubt about the election
of the National and State tickets by a largely
Increased majority. The great fight at present
is on the Legislature. and the Republican party
Will leave no stone unturned to secure Iegisat-

indications point to the election Of a legislature
largely Republican.
FRANK CRANE Chairman.
Des Moines, Iowa, October 2, 1900.
We have q poll Of the State very nearly COM
pleted, and, judging from it and other informa,-
ton which are able to obtain the State
central Committee believes that Iowa will give
about the same majority for Mckinley and
Roosevelt that it did four years ago for Nc
Kinley and Hobart; that is to say, we look for
about 10000 to $1,000 plurality for the Repub-
lican ticket. Iowa has a solid Republican Con-
gress delegation, and the committee be-
lieves that it will not be broken this fall al
though the Democrats are making strenuous ef-
forts to carry two of the districts They are
