statements made In the last few days that the Nc
Kinley managers had carried everything before them

II see by the dispatches that the Mckinley man.
ayers carried everything th~r way. ard that the

before the committee met the Mckinley. Pritchard
and Russell forces held caucus and drew up
series of resolutions irdorsng Mr. Mckinley for the
Presidency Mr. Prtchard for reelection TO the SEN
ate and Mr. Russell for Governor. They also drew
up solution In favor of fusion between the Popu-
lists and the Republicans the electoral ticket;

The statement that the With District had elected
