the scene OF activity.
''There will be two campaign cen,

Chicago, All the statesE. east of Ohio
will come under the Jurisdiction OF
New York; all west Of ohlo under that
Of Chicago.
New York the Battle Ground.
THAT may seem an unequal division
of work from a geographical viewpoint,
but inasmuch as we mean to win New
York, dhe chief battle-ground of 1.-The
campaign, we think the eastern Offices
viii have u fair share Of the, work.
Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland
and Delaware are also states in which
we mean to put forth special efforts.
THE New York office will be In
charge of Cornelius N. Bliss, who Is
vice chairman and treasurer iof the
committee. He wlllt attend to the
financial end Of our work. land Joseph.
Fl. Manley, US assistant secretary, will
help him. ri; f;sss.. n.
Frederick S. Gibbs Will have his
time taken up with the numerous per-
sons who come to us with dead sure
schemes fol, electing Mckinley by ma
chinery. Among them might be class
ed the representatives ofspapers who:
are firm in the faith that AIcKinley's
election only, depends upon four taking.
4 couple of pages Of Advertisements in
their, papers.
Mr.. Gibbs also will have charge of
the work connec.ed with labor organi-
cations. and will help him if I have
any time left after disposing of my
own Work. ';lS

y am chairman of the Speaking bu-
reau' and it will be my dtay,to appoint
speakers all over our section of the
country. hear them rehearse, pass on
the manner and matter of their
speeches and arrange for, their appear
ance' in the various localities.
"A speech. Of course. TINT would an
swer in one state might not appeal to
the particular prejudices2f9f another.
and one that would be effective in one
locality. might create no enthusiasm in
another community.
Some one must see that speeches
on the currency are heard where they
will do the most good. AND that those
on imperialism are given where the
people are convinced that expansion or
imperialism Is a vital issue.
THE prominent speakers will not be
paid. Their work usually Is accepted
asa labor of love, but there Will be a
numerous band OF lesser lights, who
must be paid out OF the campaign
fund The speaking is scheduled to be-

THE Chicago headquarters will be In
charge Of Henry'C Payne. of Wiscon-
sin, who is a vice chairman of the
committee. He will be abTYsassisted by
John c. New, of Indianapolis, who will
look after all work conneStel with la
Dor organizations.
Richard c. Kerens Will look after
the railroad men in the west. yand Perry
Heath VIII be In charge Of the literary
bureau In Chicago.
1T is probable that more printed
matter will be sent out from Chicago
than from New York. When FRANCIS
Murphy, OF New Jersey, who is one OF
our committee, returns from Europe to
him probably Will be given charge of
the literary bureau In New York, but
as yet no one has been assigned to that
department. ".
