and entreated by political candidates. All

Use Roosevelt's Name.
The name Of Roosevelt is being used to
conJure with by the republicans Marcus
Braun, president of the Hungarian Repub-
| lican Club, is circulating a repudiated
| statement of the President, quoted as fol-
lows:
ANY one who believes or who tries to
| convey the impression that 1 am not heart
| and soul for Mr.. Hughes is either wilfully
| or inadvertently laboring under a delusion.
I am first, last and all the time for Gov.
Hughes, because I know he stands for
precisely the same principles that l stand
| for l authorize you to make that state

| the East Side with all the emphasis that is

Andrew Carnegie lands from foreign
shore and SHES castor into the political

| 1T is not a party contest. It is a con-
| test between the best and the worst peo-
pie. It is a contest between a man who
seeks the office and man that the Office
sought. New York state would be dis
graced by a man who uses such methods
| as Mr.. Hearst. Without money he would
| never haev been heard OF"
| Now watch Hearst come back in loud
| jubilation with the cry that of course the
Carnegies and the millionaires are for
| Hughes.
Hearst is selling upon everything Of
| the kind The announcement that Farley.
| the noted strike-breaker, the deadly enemy
| Of the unions, said to for Hughes
brings forth pages of editorials and car
| ICONS from Hearst, purporting to show the
| affiliations of Hughes. The fact that Far

Hughes is small consequence.

| of his appeals to prejudice are so rank
| as to insult the intelligence of the labor

York.

| Murphy Turns at Last.
The opposition is working might and main
to stir the resentment of labor against
/
didates on the Independence League ticket.
| 1t is evident that they are making some
| progress. The dumping of the labor candi-
dates, although it was done by the court,
| smacks strongly of premeditated treachery,
| in the opinion of some of the labor leaders,
and beneath the surface there is a great
| deal of quiet talking and argument about
| 1t.
Yesterday the Hearst men abandoned an
attempt to put through the Central Feder-
ated Union a resolution of Endorsement Of
Hearst because Of the presence of hostile
sentiment and the fear of a negative vote.
At the same meeting Thomas Rock. the
| la Dor candidate for state senate who was
| thrown out by the court in favor of Grady,
Tammany's man who did the bouncing at
Buffalo for Hearst was indorsed.
In this connection the laboring men are
noting that Hearsts papers, which hitherto
| often jumped Grady viciously. are keeping
Like the proverbial worm Boss Murphy
has turned at last. His counsel have
served netice that libel suits will follow the
| publication of any more cartoons copying
Hearst's famous cartoons of year ago
depicting Murphy in stripes When the
elevated railway stations were placarded
with four-foot posters representing Hearst
patting the striped Murphy on the back
and saying, He is good enough for me
when 1 need him. 1t got under even the
Murphy thick skin and the posters are
down today.
Three anarchists were sent TO jail yes

utterances at a meeting of anarchists held
