". . . In reply to your inquiry as to what you can do for me, I beg to suggest that in your own way, and at some opportune time, you impress upon our friends in Ohio not to rely too much upon confidence---but that to make a Republican victory impressive, strong efforts must be made to get out every Republican vote."
Perry S. Heath (1857-1927) founded the first Muncie, IN, daily newspaper (The Daily Times) in 1879, and in Aberdeen, SD, he established The Dakota Pioneer in 1881 before moving to Washington, DC. In 1896, Heath directed publicity for the Republican National Committee; in 1897, President McKinley appointed him First Assistant Postmaster General; and beginning in 1900, Heath served as secretary of the RNC for four years.
