Null ANE TO CHICAGO

Taft Campaign.

David w. Mulvane, retiring Repub-
1ican national committeeman from
Kansas, left last night for Chicago,
where he will take charge of the west
ern branch of the Republican national
headquarters. He will be assisted in
the work by a half dozen men ap-
pointed by the national committee. All
of the men in charge of the work are
residents of the middle western states
and are in close touch with the situa-
ton in their respective territories.
The appointment of Mulvane as
manager of the western headquarters
was made last week from Washington.
Four years ago Mulvane was in charge
of the western work and 1t was largely
due to the work of that campaign and
the results in the western states that
won for him the place at the head of
the western campaign this year. The
Chicago headquarters will be opened
August 1, but Mr.. Mulvane will spend
a few days on the job making advance
preparation for the organization of his
office forces and outlining the work to
be handled in the coming campaign.
