RUNNING MASS MEETINGS.
In Presidential Campaigns They Are
as Carefully Managed as
Theatrical Circuits.

I'm arranging the mass meetings in
sections where the committee thinks
speeches will be effective" writes Mr..
Day Allen Wiley, In an article on Run
ming the Campaign" In Pearspn's, 1T
plans out routes as carefully as the the
atrical manager maps his circuit; but the
difference between the orator and the &C.
tor Is that the former plays only one
night stands, sometimes speaking at two
or three towns in "a hours. The politi-
cal circuit has its stars as well as the
dramatic profession. Senators and poll
ticians of national repute, who visit only
the larger towns and are welcomed with
parades, fireworks and other forms of en-
thusiasm, travel In special cars or trains.
The biggest men are, Of course, reserved
to be used where the fight is the hottest.
First and foremost is the candidate. His
during the last few months
before election day is prepared with the
greatest care, for merely his presence in
one OF the doubtful states may roll up
majority In his favor. Prestige counts
for a great deal In campaign, and every
man who has any sort of reputation,
ocal, state or national, is of some value
to the party, even II he is an Indifferent
speaker"

FORCING RUSSIANS BACK.

Concentrating Between Hai-Cheng ant
Liao-Yang-N Nothing to Prevent Japa-
neSo Occupation Of New ChwanR.
St Petersburg, July 12.--Gen. Kuro-
patkin, according to private advices
from the front, will not make seri-
GUS attempt to hold Ta-Tche- Kiao
above Kai-Chou, midway between that
place and Hai-Cheng and where the
railroad connects with the branch from
New Chwang. Developments Of the
Japanese strength on the Siu-Yen roads
seem to be forcing Russian concen-
tration between Hai-Cheng and Lao
Yang, but preparations seem to be
making to defend the former as long
as possible. Gen. Count Keller's force,
which was little south west of Lao
Yang, has apparently moved farther
southwark to stay the advance of the
Japanese direct from Wang
Cheng- Halt heng road.
The pressure on the Russian left
rear as 1t withdraws continues. There
Is now seemingly practically nothing
In the way Of the Japanese occupation
Of New Chwang and the completion of
The Japanese line across the head of |
he Llao-Tung peninsula. The FORTH
,ation Of the passes OF Fen-Shui range
and the semi-circle eastward of LAO
Fang is reported.
