CABINET 10 STUNT.
Every Member Who Can Make
a Speech Will Take Part
in the Campaign.

Washington, July 26.-Every mem
Der of President Roosevelt's cabinet
who can make a political speech will
take the stump for the republican par
ty IN the approaching campaign. Mr..
Roosevelt himself has made plans for
? speech making tour and he has in
timated to his cabinet officers that he
wants them to do likewise. The presi-
dent recently stated to one Of his politi-
cal advisers that in his Judgment the
people had a right to know what was
being done by the various departments
Of the government and that they should
be given the information by the heads
3f the departments who can speak with
authority. Besides MIR. Roosevelt be-
.leVes no effort should be spared to elect
republican candidates for congress and
hat the members Of the cabinet
through political addresses Of dignihed
character can strengthen the republic
an party throughout the country.
The president has only two men in
MS cabinet who do not make public
addresses, the secretary Of the interior,
Mr.. Hitchcock, and the postmaster
general, Mr.. Payne With these two
exceptions, the cabinet will be in evil
lence during the fall. Secretary Shaw,
whose ability as an orator is we'll
known, will begin his work in the
Maine campaign. He has received sew
aral invitations to speak in the state.

September, shows an overwhelming re-
publican victory. it will encourage and
stimulate the party all over the United
States, later lin the fall. Mr.. Shaw
will go west aud expects to close the
(owa campaign with two or three
speeches just before election.
Attorney General Knox has never
made political speech, but at the re-
quest of the president he will take the
stump. He will select appropriate oc-
casions and will talk about the trusts.
