paign Where I Was Forced To Leave

New York (Special).
Schler Coxey, of the
of 1894 is planning
national crusade on
tional lines, and he may commence
operations the present year. It all
depends on the outcome of his invest-
ments, which now look exceedingly
promising. Since he went through
bankruptcy two years ago, following
the failure of the steel mill which he
had built at his home in Mount Ver-
non, Ohio, he has been engaged in
retrieving his fortune,
Mr. Coxey, the erstwhile “General
of the Commonwealth,” was in New
York several days ago, and said:
“1 expect worth sev-
tral million dollars and I am prepar-
ing to take up my campaign of edu-
cation where 1 was forced to leave
it several years ‘ago. [I shall conduct
