HEARST ON

 Falsehood. THUS HE DESCRIBES CHARGES Wants to He Qoseted With Inde-

THUS HE DESCRIBES CHARGES
Says He h Glad When Everyone Wishes to Support Good Honest Republican Like
 Judge Rosalsky.

Saratoga. N. r., Oct 20.-Referrins to charges by Charies II. Murphy of Tammany Hall that representatives of Independence League In New York were holding up" Democratic candi- dates for money. W. R. Hearst to- night said:
 When these charges were nrsa made. I said that they were nothing more than a stupid campaign false- hood. They have proved to be exact- 1y that--both false and stuipd. There has been much needless md baseless criticism of the so-called Gilsey Houss clique. or executive committee of ths Independence League from which have frequently been specifically sx- cluded.
 T do not desire to be excluded. I am proud to be associated with tho gentlemen of the Independence League who have unselfshly given much of their time and contributed from their own pockets to promote the cause of the people in the last campaign and this campaign.
 'Murphy's statement is not any more false and foolish than other statements that have been made, but I am distinctly glad that he made the statement and that he was put un- der oath before the grand jury and compelled to say 1t was paseless ani reckless.
 The Independence League is enda- avoring to the best of its ability hon estly and unselfshly to serve the people. Where Democrats are en- dorsed they are endorsed because we believe they are of the character oe men who will serve the people sG
 Where a Republican like Judge Rosaisky Is endorsed it is becaus. that he has served them faithfully We are willing to unite with honest men of any party te further the peo- ple's cause. but we make no deals and submit to do dictation."

UPHoLDs BOYCOTT.
Kentucky Judge Rules to Extent With
 Labor Unions.

Louisville, Ky. Oct. 2O.-Judge KIT by. in the Chancery Division of tho Circuit Court. today rendered dects- ion which upholds a peaceful boycott.
 The decision. while not countenanc- ing violence in any way. declares that the constitution gives every laborer tho right to quit work whenever he wishes, whether with or without req son, and that what one man could do alone. was not unlawful for number of men to do jointly. Furthermore. Il. declared that laborers had the right to exert the power of persuasion If this power was exercised peacefully. He also declared that 1t was the laoorer's g right to withdraw his own patronage from a firm which was unfriendly.
 The question arose in the injunction suit brought by William l.. Pfafdngsr and Company against Frank WeigtAnd and other members of the Hutcs~ss' Union.
 The union came to the conclusion that Pfaffingers actions regarding the regulation of his plant were hostile to the interests of organized labor and they circulated notices against him to the effect that he was unfair and made efforts to persuade his workmen to quit.

II want to know whether Abe Lin- coin or Thomas Jefferson would have devised a scheme through which the burdens of Government could be 'g uored It is a very small matter wheth- CT my opponents corporations gay taxes In one sense: 1t Is very great matter whether my opponent is roIlti- cally sincere. Yesterday he spoke of me, IS having been attorney for the lighting trust.
 The lighting trust as 1t is common ly meant in the city of New York is the lighting with winch we dealt in the gas investigation with which l had the honor to be connected. Now the fact is that seventeen years ago. when young man of 27. I did write two or three briefs for one or two electric companies in connection with the mat ter of taking down the overhead wires. but I never represented the Con- solidated Gas Company or any gas company.
 T have no desire to take from my opponent the slightest credit to which he Is entitled in regard to the 80 cents gas fight. Nor should he on the other hand attempt for the purpose of getting votes to minimize the work of the gas investigation. He knows bet
