From the outset the Republicans have
been criticised by the Democratic man

supporters OF the Citizens Union move

ers. notable among whom were sena-
tors Foraker and Thurston. Tho ac-
ceptance of Mayor Harrison's tender OF
services is regarded as stultilcation
of the Democratic position on this sub
