There is open talk of rupture between
Candidate Dunn and his campaign man
ayers The only tangible. evidence of it
is that the meeting. in Minnea polls Satur-
day night was arranged for without the
knowledge Of Chairman Hamlin and Sec
rotary Verify. The gossip which is free
ly circulated by friends Of Dunn, says
that he has determined to cut loose from
the committee, being 'sore' at both the
chairman and the secretary There Is a
hitch over the naming; Of the executive
committee, which Cha irnan Hamlin has
SO far. failed to Do Also, it is claimed,
Mr.. Hamlin's papego took the liberty, of
cutting out very essential sentence from
the; candidates Duluth speech. When he
said that he believed Clap, would be re-
elected hef qualified what, seemed to be
an Endorsement by saying that neither
Senator Clapp nor any .Dther man could
expect to- use the patronage of the gov
e1'nor's office to assstih his election. The
speech as reported aroused the ire of
Joel P. Heatwole, Who is doing what he
can to arouse -ysentinlent oagainst C4app.

newspapers are standing, by TClapp there
is fgoodT eyidencet Of "a, concerted effort to
'fkhock" the Junior Senator, and stir UP a
sentiment against aim. 9T3A battery of
Dunn newspapers; Has 9been trained on
Clapp. Its first yolleys was demand. for
a public statement from Clapp on the
merger: question, and other public is
sues. This shot WAS VA s;h ts st fred by Heat
wole's paper the, aNorthfeld News, and
then repeated by dozen others, of which
the following from. the Waterville Gazette
is a sample: ..-.

sent the people in the federal legislature, to
whom the people must ultimately look for the
regulation of capitalistic combinations should be
free to act in the public interest Senator
'Clapp could do nothing which would bring him
more into public favor provided, Of course, he
has nothing to conceal, and has not in any way
compromised himself, than to take an early op-
portunity of making candid statement Of his

the candidate of all the corporations. AL

alliance to Clapp as a crime These two
