There is No Republican Apathy ill Illinois s-Kerens Has His Heart Set on Carrying Missouri for Nc Kinley.

Chicago. s pt. 11.-"I would like you ,o make it understood by republicans in the east" said Judge Yates, that the republican nominees in Illinois are not only trying to insure their own election. They are working for Me Einley and Roosevelt as we'll as for themselves. There is not one Of us on the state ticket who does not subor- f:nate the fight for control of Illinois administration to the battle for su- premacy in the national capital. All of our speechts and all the speeches of cur friends are for the reelection of Mckinley. We extol his administration wherever We go. and We have no lack f material.
 'As for the response of the Illinois people whom I have addressed thus far" added Judge Yates. 'I can see no sign of apathy, I believe that the peO-
 re in city and in township are be- ginning to wake up. Instead 0f talk ing it for granted that this election is tC go republican anyway. they realize that it is necessary for republicans t0 show an interest in the campaign. 10 come cut and salute the flag, Inl to make it evident to others how thly are going to vote. I am happy ;o think
 that our local issues will only add strength in Illinois to the Mckinley electoral ticket
 These Illinois republican campaign CTS started on another journ y this
 morning. extending to Yorkvll7. Bris-
 tol and Waukegan. Journeys are
 planned for Friday and Saturday. IN MISSOURI. | At the same time Richard Kerens. ;he ! Missouri member of the republican eX- 1 ecutive committee, is directing the 1 opening of an earnest speaking cam i paign in his state. There may be some incredulity as to the possibility of making Missouri republican this ! year, but MT. Kerens has set his heart ! upon the effort, and he will be about 1 the proudest republican in the Unite States if he succeeds.
 He hopes, as has been explained, for 1 large republican gains in the two cit
 ies If St. Louis and Kansas City. and | he also counts upon many farmers i voting for a continuance of he pres i ent national administrator. MT. Kar- | ems sent into the Missouri field of or
 atory today such speakers as Governor | Shaw of Iowa, R. C. Jardine of N is- i consin. Majcr c. p. Ray of New York l and Col J. H. Davidson of Minnesota. | MT. Kerens is much gratified by the 1 letters of Richard Dalton, withdrawing | from '.he democratic party in Missouri, 1 Mir. DaltOn's letter is regarded at the l Chicago headquarters, as peculiarly l forcible in pointing out the difference | between imperialism, which does not
 exist. and commercial expansion. which does exist, and which depends for its continuance upon the popular , support of the republican party.
 | Campaign speaking is also in full
 swing in Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin.
 DEMOCRATIC MONEY.
 The statement issued by Sc, ator Jones that the democratic national
 C rlmittee is using no money in .his ! campaign eXcites derision in Chicago.
 It Is now known that MT. Jones has been collecting campaign funds
 through various agencies during the | past three years. He has made de- l pos ls in banks. and these deposits | have raid enough interest to meet most
 of the expenses of the democratic na-
 tional committee during the past gwo
 years. Now, of course. Mir. Jones Is
 drawing upon his principal ana is so- lciting more subscriptions. There is | 10 sign about democratic national headquarters Of any lack of cash.
 | is an open secret that the rlpI5- lican headquarters has difficulty to m tt its weekly pay day roll of em- ploVes, and that only the generosity nf
 business men, who are seriously
 alarmed at a situation which they be- lieve to be temporary. enables the persistent distribution of lit rature oy the republican committee.
 An absurd story is published here to 1 the effect that the return of Chairman Hanna to Chicago will be followed by the dismissal of almost everybody in
 republican Headquarters, from vice Chairman Payne and Secretary Hea h down to the office boys. The fact IS i that NIT. Hanna is highly gratiied hy 1 the efficient service during hus ab-
 sence in the east of his enthusiastic l and industrious adjutants in Chicago.
