chairmen may well paste into their
hats and consult often this year. This
rule was to send nothing to any state
that was not approved thoroughly by
the state committee of that state.
Mr.. Hanna got the experience which
prompted this course many years ago,
when he was beginning to make note

ly went counter to the judgment of his
department heads in the conduct Of his
enterprises, because, as he said, they

Until then everybody In the Bureau of
Publicity and the Bureau Of Oratory is
working some what in the dark, because
the keynote has not yet been struck.
AS soon as the books come in there is
a general re-energizing of forces so to
speak. Copies are hastily sent away to
the intending speakers and to the
newspapers, and everyone feels that
the real work of the campaign is about
to begin.
Naturally, each Executive Committee
is almost as anxious to get hold of the
opposition text book as it is of it's own
and it has happened that advance

enemy's camp through the literally

the West, he established another head

divided his attention between the two.
This made it necessary for him to
spend much time on the railroad, and

Sultan Sends Rough
Troops to Tangier

Tangier, Morocco, June 1S.-About
400 Moorish troops OF the worst
type were landed here to-day. They
were sent by the sultan for the pro-
lection Of Europeans. These troops
had an exceedingly bad reputation
at Casa Blanca. whence they came to
Tangier, and residents OF this city
are uneasy, az the troops have no
discipline whatever and endanger lie
and property. Their arrival Is ex-
ceedingly dangerous to Messrs. Per.
dicaris and Marley.
Raisuly lie almost certain to consid-
or this treachery on the part Of the
sultan and cease the negotiations
which up to the present appear ia
yorable. The British and American
authorities we're entirely ignorant Of
this move until the troops landed
and strongly protested to Mohamet
Ell Torres, the representative OF tht
sultan. The commander Of ths
troops brings letters announcin 2
that more soldiers will probably Q +
rive here soon.
