VIII visit Wisconsin this fall is not go
ing to prevent an immense amount OF
political literature being distributed
in this state. How important all OF
The parties consider the state as poll
teal battle-ground cam be seen from
the fact that on all the maps it is down
as doubtful territory and there are
none Of the parties intending to leave
any stone upturned ia an effort to
carry the state Already it has been
told how the Republican national lead
ers are planning to make a great liter
airy campaign in this state. Lists are
being gathered for the use Of the men
who will have charge Of the Taft cam
paign and within very few days the
first installment Of the Taft literature
viii arrive in the state.
It viii be largely review of the
record Of President Taft and history
Of the work which he has accomplished
since he has been in the white house.
This first circular which Will be sent
out for the president will be more or
less general in character, but other
special literature is being prepared for
the Taft campaign which Wei be sent
into the state later. Thus a special
circular is to be gotten out on the
labor record Of President Taft which
viii be distributed among the factory
employees and other industrial workers
"a the hope of drawing the labor vote
into the Taft column. An immense
amount of literature viii be sent into
the state and there will not be fac
tory in the state which will not have
its full quota. In fact, it is likely that
more Of this literature will be sent into
the state than any other Of thei Taft
variety.
The Taft people ,ould like to begin
their literary campaign very soon but
are rather handicapped by the fact
that there is no organized work yet
being done in the state for President
Taft and no set Off men in whose
charge can be placed the distribution
of the Taft literature. It is likely,
however, that several close friends Of
President Taft who have already start
ed some campaign work for him in
Wisconsin, seeing that the present Re
publican state central committee is
not in readiness to tale hold of the
matter, will look after the distribution
of the Taft literature for a few weeks
TO come, until after the convention of
the candidates when the complexion of
the new state central committee will
determine whether that committee or
an independent Taft committee shall
have charge Of the future work for the
president in tle state and take charge
of his campaign here during the six
weeks of the fight.
AS has been said, it is the wish of
President Taft that no permanent COM
mittee be organized from his friends
20 look after his Wisconsin campaign
until it is thoroughly well known that
the regular Republican state central
committee Of this state has no inten-
tion Of looking after his campaign.
This, of course, cannot be told until
after the candidate convention is held
in September,
The distribution of literature for
Gov, Woodrow Wilson win begin at
once. The Democratic state central
committee is already organized and
ready for work. During his recent
visit in the East Chairman Frank B.
Schultz of the Democratic state cen
trail committee met with the managers
VI the Democratic campaign and ar
tangements were made to send some
literature ON here at once. The Dem
Dcratic state central committee is in
possession OF a splendid mailing list al
