There have been numnroua ritii.iama said Mr. Hitchcock, to the e'feet that the republican campaign was at a standstill and that the opposition pa-fty waa carrvlnir thlngs by default. There may be a aen- blunce of truth In this at the present mo ment, but It has been considered the wlseat plan to make the "racket and red fire" campaign during the month of Oc tober. He thinks there will ha no eroi.n;i for criticism from any quarters when that time arrives. Mr. Hitchcock gave many reasons for the pursuit of this course. It was highly desirable that the strong republican ora tors should be placed where their services were really needed. It was impossible to ascertain these places without first-hand Information regarding political conditions. This- Information would ba obtained by that time, he said, and Instead of having shots wasted previously by being fired at random, the efforts would be accurately Redded. Most of the republican speakers feel that one month' strenuous work 1 all that they can undertake with th. . of exendlture of vitality required and Chairman Hitchcock said he would rather have these speakers able to work up to the very last moment of tha ..amr..l. with vigor than have them worn out by early and perhaps badly directed aff,.rt. The 'list of republican orators vim ar. n enter the Held, Mr. Hitchcock said. Is greater In number and ability than In any previous campaign.

Hitchcock has been devoting a consider able part of his time, he believes that false statements are bel na ninde tn Inher ing men, which would finally result In a reversal of sentiment. That many false statements and misrepresentations are being made, he declared to be within his personal know ledge, and he said he I taking the proper steps to have them shown as jch. It was his expressed belief that the republican party would tn the end get Its share of the labor vote. Washington la Good Snap.
