HERR MOST DENIES HIM.
Doesn't Believe the Assassin Is an
Anarchist

New York, Sept. John Most, the
anarchist, was Indignant when in
formed that the man who shot Presi-
dent Mckinley was an anarchist.
Il do not believe that he is an an
archist," said Most. Every man
who shoots a president or a king is not
an anarchist. Guiteau, who shot Pres
ident Garfield, was not an anarchist.
He was q disappointed Office seeker.
Any way" Most went on, I'VE know
nothing of that fellow. Come from
Poland, does he? I am sure he is no
anarchist There are no anarchists in
Poland. Poland is a Catholic country"
