PLAN FOR CAMPAIGN
Republican Leaders at Wash
ington Hold a Caucus.
National News Association

tNational News Associa1lonl
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 5.-To-
days joint caucus of Republican SEN
ators and representatives to ratify the
selection of the members of the Re-
publican Congressional Campaign
committee marks the first active step
in the Republican national campaign
of 1912. From this time on the politi-
cal machinery will move with an ever
increasing velocity until the climax is
reached with the casting of the bal
lots in November.
The Republicans plan to begin the
practical work of the canvass little
earlier this year than in 1904 or 1908.
No attempt is made to conceal the
fact that they expect a much more diff.
ficult campaign than in either OF
those years. The party is less har-
monions than it was in the contests of
four and eight years ago, while the
Democrats have more encouragement
to make hard fight now than they
have had at any previous time since
1896.
