TO OPEN AUGUST %

Guthrie. o. T., July 30.-It is very likely
that the Republican campaign in this ter
ritory viii begin about the 2srd Of August
at oklahoma City. Chairman Chas. NJ.
Cade is in favor of holding the big meet
ing in Oklahoma City at that time. and
until the close of the campaign let the
work progress as rapidly as possible.
The date of opening the campaign win
be agreed upon within a short time and
then preparations viii be made for the
monster event.
Chairman Cade arrived in the city yes
terday and today has been busy arrang-
ing for committee headquarters. A
splendid suite of rooms in the Beadles
block has been secured for the use Of
the committee, and painters and paper
hangers are al work preparing for the
men who are to conduct the Republican
campaign this year. Mr. Cade is enthu-
siastic relative TO conditions over the
territory and does not hesitate to tell the
boys what he thinks of the coming bat
tie. we are in better condition in this
territory than we have ever been for a
winning battle" said Mr. Cade today.
Il have been over the greater portion
OF the territory within the past few
weeks and 1 believe that 1 am as well
acquainted with conditions as any one.
Bird Mcclure is a popular man and he
makes a good impression wherever he
goes. He was in Fottawatomie county
few DAYS ago. and every one, regard
less of politics, liked his appearance.
Il find one thing in going over the ter
ritory that statehood is going TO be the
big issue of this campaign. The men
who do the voting want to know about
statehood. and what it will do for Okla
homa if we get it. AS the campaign
progresses, the statehood talk will be-
come more intensified and it will be the
big issue. Of course. free textbooks
viii be taken up and it appeals TO the
PEOPLE of this territory as do the other
issues which are being advocated for the
people of Oklahoma by our party.
When are you in favor of opening the
campaign"
Il am in favor Of opening the cam
paign on the 2Srd of August at Oklahoma
City. I do not know whether this date
will be agreed upon or not. but We will
soon decide the matter From that time
or our speakers will be out over this
territory and an aggressive campaign
Will be or. We will send good men to
the new country. and Republican leaders
in the three new counties viii not have
an opportunity OF complaining that we
have not paid enough attention TO them
during this campaign. Just who we will
send there 1 do not know, but we will
have plenty CT good speakers for all
parts of the territory.
''Win you have speakers of national
fameg'
We viii try TO get party leaders from
the east here. if possible. I have no doubt
but what we will be successful in such
an attempt and 1 am in hopes that we
viii have an opportunity of putting these
men in different parts of the territory.
Everything looks good for US this
year and there is no reason for any Re
publican to feel downhearted over the
claims of the opposition. for we are going
to win the battle. and it viii be ques-
ton of majority more than anything
else
