TRUST CRY HELD FAKE.
Moran's Attack on Tobacco Combine Is
Denounced hy MAGAZINE Editor.

New York, Nov. 6.-"It is all rot. 1t
is nothing less than a puerile attempt
by Moran and w. r. Hearst to make
political capital" said Norman Hap
good, editor of Golfers Weekly, Mon
day, in regard to the statements of
John B. Moran, fusion candidate for
governor of Massachusetts, concerning
the so-called tobacco trust and its al
legged attempt 10 corrupt the legisla-
lures of the country Mr.. Hapgood ad-
mitted, however that his magazine had
in it's possession evidence concerning
the tobacco combine and methods it is
said to have taken to influence legis-
latures of several states.
In a letter to District Attorney Jer-
ome Morgan, who is district attorney
of Boston, charged that A. D. Hughes,
formerly a state senator in Michigan.
had furnished Golfers Weekly with a
number of letters and kilograms, some
of them tending to show that measures
affecting the tobacco combine had been
defeated in the Massachusetts, legis-
lature by corrupt practices, and that
Golfers Weekly was delaying the pub
lication of these letters in violation OF
its contract at the time of ther pur-
chase until after the election, to pre-
vent injurious effect on the republican
ticket. Moran asked Mr.. Jerome to
obtain the necessary evidence and for
ward it to him.
"In the first place, the letters do not
affect Massa chusetts in the slightest
degree" said Mr.. Hapgood, "and when
Moran says they contain statements
that bills affecting the tobacco com
bine were defeat ted at the last session
of the Massachusetts, legislature, he
simply lies. He worked that in to make
capital for himself, suppose.
1T also is a lie that any republi-
can influence stayed the publication Of
the letters until after election. In the
first place no republican official, prom
inent or otherwise, knew of their ex-
istence. We bought these documents
from Mr.. Hughes, while Mark Sullivan,
member of our staff, was preparing
lication in Golfers. Mr.. Sullivan lost
his mother and was unable to continue
the work. It would have been to our
advantage to have the letters printed
before this.
Il have received no, request for the
letters from District Attorney Jerome,
and I expect none"
Mr.. Jerome also sat down upon Nor
an. He did not receive Moran's letter
until Monday morning, and before he
got it he had read it in a newspaper.
After he had glanced over the letter
he sent this telegram in reply: Your
letter of November a. 1906. received.
There is still Il constitution in this
state'"
This was interpreted to mean that
under the laws no one is permitted to
enter another's house and take his
property, and, therefore, the district
attorney was not privileged to take
ANYTHING from Golfers

HEAVY VOTE At DEs MONIES.

Voters Compelled to Wait for oppor-
tunity to Get Into Booths.
Special TO Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 6.-Very heavy
voting is reported in practically every
precinct in Polk county up to- noon to-
day. In many precincts, particularly
the Third of the First ward, men were
standing in line for an hour waiting to
vote Extra booths have been sent
where there was room to put them.
It is feared that many will not get
an opportunity to vote. There are
some indications Of scratching, but 1t
is believed to be confined largely to
county officers. At noon today Drake
University students to the number of
200 paraded the streets, drawing A. T.
Hisey, Tama candidate for governor, in
a dila apitated old buggy.

Conservative Politicians in Both
Parties Look For Some
Changes
REPUBLICANS ARE CONFIDENT
Chiefs of Both Sides Have Gone Home
to vote-one Sporting Man Wagers
$1,000 That cummins Will Carry 81
counties-onIy Few Prominent Re-
publican Boilers.
Special to Times-Republican.

Des Moines, Nov 6.-Conservative
politicians of both parties admit that
there may be some surprises in the
election today. Nobody knows what
will happen. But the republicans show
greatest confidence while the demo-
Gratis are doing the most boasting.
Gen James b. Weaver departed from
democratic headquarters and went ov-
er into Jasper to vote. A friend re-
senatorial toga right ahead of him.
But privately Walt Butler, chief
rainbow chaser for the combination.
admits that Dolliver has a cinch.
Chairman Woods has gone horne to
vote,S and Chairman Miller indicated
that he would cast his vote for him
self in Bremen county.
here. Only one bet of consequence was
reported. A thousand dollars was put
up by a sporting man that says Cum
Minis will get at least 50 counties of the
state. It was regarded as good bet
for both sides Some betting has been
done on 25,O00 majority for Cummins,
but there is no money for betting.
One Of the peculiarities of the cam
paign here in the capital city OF the
state is that not a conspicuous repub-
lican in Des Moines is out in the open
boiling the ticket. There is good
deal of boasting on the part of the
democrats that they will get good
many republican boilers for the head OF
their ticket, but if the boaster is ask
ed to make list of the boilers he IS
unable to name single one. 1t was
planned by the democrats and their all
lies early in the campaign that large
number of prominent republicans here
and in the state should come out for
Porter and thus lead a bolt. But not
one has been induced to do so here.
The only man connected with the
movement is that of lone Johnston"
and 1t is not known whether he still
claims to be a republican. 1t is said
that Sidney Foster and James Berry
hill have promised to go out to work
for the democrats today. but they have
not consented to permit the fact to be
advertised.
The republican local organization in
Polk county is not good and there is
much complaint about it. The fact is
that the committee has confined its at
tentions to the county candidates and
has ignored the fact of state elec-
ton. The democrats on the other hand,
have better organization than usual,
and they are supplied with money with
which to employ workers. They have
had thirty-flve men at work for nearly
two weeks, and some men have been at
work for much longer time. The pur-
chasable vote here is very large and
this will probably go largely to the
democrats.
The fact has just been disclosed that
several persons have been out working
for Porter among the laboring men,
each one claiming that he has been
promised appointment as state labor
commissioner If Porter can be elected.
AS there is but one position to fill, the
crossing of the promises might be en-
barassing if there was the slightest
thought Of Porter's election.

GET OUT The VOTE

Lack of Interest In Election Nee
essitates Hard Work at the
Polls Today
GREAT UNCERTAINTY PREVAILS
/. Was Manifested in Many Sections
by Vigorous Continuance of Cam
paian Until Midnisht-Fewer Num-
her Of Washington. Voters Leave Cap
jtaI Than Usual-.RooseveIt Home.

wa ashington, Nov. 6.-"Get out the
vote" is the command for today from
political generals tflruout the country.
Lack of interest in the election is re-
ported from many sections, and this
condition pecessitates hard work at the
polls. and the assurance of favorable
weather in a greater portion of the
country is welcomed by all the con-
tending parties. A decided uncertainty
as to the result of the balloting is a
feature of the closing campaign news
from nearly every quarter. This un-
certainty was manifested in New York,
Pennsylvania, Chicago and other Sec
tions, by the vigorous continuance OF
the campaign until midnight last night.
Hughes and Hearst continued their
terrific speaking records in New York,
up to the last minute. President Roose-
yelt's last act in the campaign was to
telegraph his son-in-law, Representa-
tive Longworth, at Cincinnati, yester-
day, to have portions OF Secretary
Roots Utica speech printed, that the
presidents desire for republican
congress might not be misunderstood
in Ohio. The president left the white
house at midnight for Oyster Bay,
Washington, reaching here at 6:15 to-
night.s
William ]. Bryan, who has been an
active ampaigner, concluded with a
speech in behalf of the fusion ticket, at
Plattsn1outh, Neb., yesterday. Speak
er Cannon. who has averaged two
speeches day during the greater part
Of the campaign, is in Danville, his
home. Vice President Fairbanks, as
we'll as the majority Of the members Of
the cabinet, all of whom have been on
the stump, are at their voting resi-
dences today. The number of Wash
ington voters who have gone to their
homes today is smaller than for a dec
ade. The absence Of railroad passes
and a higher voting rate on the roads,
is given as the reason.
Interesting Southern Situations.
Reports from 'sthe solid SOUTH" in
dicate little interest and the necessity
Of stimulating voting. Missouri and
Tennessee present interesting situa-
tions. Both parties conclude the cam
paign with confident predictions of
success.
In Montana, the socialist party
makes a confident claim Of increasing
It's vote 5000 over last year, and both
republicans and democrats claim the
state.
The earthquake In San Francisco Is
said to have so redistributed the popu-
lation Of the state that old estimates
cannot be relied upon.
Massachusetts, kept the fight warm
until the last minute. Boston was
midnight battle-ground between Guild
and Moran, the respective candidates
Of the republicans and democrats, for
governor.
In Indianapolis, Buffalo and several
other localities, voting machines are
to be used, and as these make an auto
matte count, early returns are expect
ed.
In New York city and Chicago, the
ballots are ponderous. and with the
prospect of many scratches. A long
delay in arriving at the results, is pre-
dicted.
