Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, September 8.-Having
held political mass meeting during
the week much in the same way that
college students stage their pep rallies
on the eve of the big game, the Repub-
lican chiefs of Illinois go into the field
Monday for the first half of an inten-
Sive campaign of oratory that will last
for six weeks.
When time is called October 20. the
candidates and their aides will have
covered every downState county of the
State and will be ready to come to
Chicago for the final two weeks, wind
ing up one of the longest stumping cam
paiens in the history of the State.
Plans made for the campaign would
indicate that the Republican chiefs are
taking no chlnces in their efforts to
carry Illinois for every candidate from
Hoover down. The army of speakers
is headed by Senator Charles S. Deneen.
Otis F. Glenn, Republican candidate for
United States Senator, and Louis l.
Emmerson, Republican candidate for
governor.
The mass meeting in Chicago that
preceded this activity was attended by
Republican chiefs from every nook and
corner of the State and by all but one
or two of the State candidates. This
outpouring of organization strength
was an impressive demonstration and
the optimistic reports Of the workers
gave rise to predictions that Hoover
will carry Illinois by at least 0,00O
votes
This estimate was made by James
w. Good. Western campaign manager
for Hoover, after receiving the reports
Of the workers. Not all of these dis
