tributiOns from any corporation is "A

Hills campaign for governor. and TO
compare what has been done as re-
CARDS the great corporations and mon
eyed interests in this administration
with what was done under the last
Democratic administration, while Mr.
Olney was attorney general: I would
ask all honest men whether they seri-
ously deem it possible that the course
this administration has taken in every
matter, from the Northern Securities
suit to the settlement of the anthracite

theory of public behavior save the the

Accuses Parker of Falsehood.
The statements made by Mr.. Parker
