NOT ASSESSMENTS But VOLUNTARY coNrR1Bu-
TIONS.
A reporter OF THE STAR asked him how his
receipts from the assessments OF government
employees were coming in.
have made no assessment and we do not intend
to-"
''But isn't your committee just hauling in the
money from the clerks, and treatening them
ment levied by you''?
"Not a bit OF it. The fact OF the whole mat
ter Is that some time ago number OF clerks
came to the committee and said they wanted to
subscribe money to the good cause. on account
OF these requests we designated q man to 90
into tie Treasury. and gave him letter. Here
1t is:
Mr.. HUBBELL READ THE LETTER
which stated that the bearer was authorized to
receive contributions to aid in the fall elections.
and that II any one saw ft to voluntarily respond
tney cG9ld 90 h. So the letter concluded The
make any general call for aid this year, but
merely to give all good republicans an oppor-
tunity to assist In carrying the states which
nod elections this fall, for the republican
party"
Mr. Hubben added "that's all In the way OF
assessing that the committee has done, and all
are as anxious as we are for success. They
know that upon democratic victory, the seats
which they occupy would get very cold. They
are the most interested parties In keeping those
seats warm"
TnR COMMITTEE NOT HAVING npxocp nc
TURNED OUT OF OFFICE.
"How about the statement that your COM
mittee Is urging that all democrats In Office be
turned out? asked the STAR man.
cit Is utterly false" said Mr.. Hubbell 81
have never thought of doing such thing. /
have never recommended that anybody be
recommended anybody for Office as chairman OF
the committee. 1 sometimes endorse mans
papers; but nothing more"
'Are there any differences In the committee
about the conduct OF
THE OHIO CAMPAIGN"
"NOt bit. The committee is for Foster, and
for nobody else. Our one idea is TO elect Foster
and he Is going to be elected. Not only in Ohio
committees are as harmonious as can be. We
are going to clean you fellows out so that you
wont know yourselves" Mr.. Hubbell evidently
thought THE STAR man was a democrat.
The reporter also asked Mr.. Hubbell about
the report that the committee had tried to make
scapegoat OF him In the matter of his mistake
In asking
AID FOR THE NATIONAL VIEW NEWSPAPER.
"Not word OF truth in that either" was the
reply. "The committee have never referred to
the affair at all. The report that you printed
IN The STAR concerning the letter that the
committee was said to have drawn UP was ali
imaginative. There was not one atom OF truth
in IT.
Who Is your candidate for Presldent?" final
'The man who gets the vote of the next re-
publican convention" was the prompt reply.
