HOT LETTER To
JOHN A. M'CALL
Democratic Candidates Money Was
Used Against Him.
SOME POINTED QUESTIONS
FRANKLIN LEONARD HAS SURE
ENOUGH GRIEVANCE.

Anew YORK, Sept. 2S.-1n an open
letter to President John A. Mccall
of the New York Life Insurance
company. Franklin Leonard. jr.. de-
feated Democratic candidate for con-
gress in the Seventeenth district of this
city, today asked Mr. Mccall how much
money paid on life insurance policy
had been used to defeat him. Mr..
Leonard's letter was prompted by Pres
fdent AIcCalrs statement before the
legislative investigating committee that
he had ordered a contribution OF about
S4S. 900 TO the Republican national cam
paign fund in 1904. The letter follows:
M John A. Mccall, President New
York Life Insurance Company, New
York:
Dear Sir-Last year held policy
amounting TO $4,000 in the New York
Life Insurance company and PAID the
yearly premium. At the same time L
was nominated for congress by the
Democratic party in the seventeenth
district This was a close and doubt
full district. and you Will doubtless ad-
nit that large sums from the Repub-
lican campaign fund were expended IN
the district. Personally I am satisfied
that these funds helped materially to
bring about my defeat.
Il would particularly like TO know
how much of my money paid TO your
company in trust for my little family
after my death, together with the FUNDS
of more than $4,000 other Democrats
and friends who cast their votes Tor
me in the Seventeenth district, was
used to bring about my defeat and to
defeat the will of those voters.
I venture the opinion that even my
Republican opponents would hardly
advocate the use of my funds and the
funds Of thousands of other policy
holders in this manner. Yours truly
FRANKLIN LEONARD.

Three Visits to Utah Before.
Joseph Smith came to Utah in 1876;
