Harriman's Letter.


NEW YORK April THE Hartman
Glitter TO Webster IA part follows:
about a week before the election In ths
utumn Of 1901, when il looked cer.aln that
the State ticket would 60 Democratic. and
was doubtful as 70 Roosevelt himself. he,
the President, sent me a request TO go to
Washington TO confer upon the political
conditions In New York State. COM
piled and he told me he understood the
campaign could not be successfully carried
on without sufficient money. and asked 4
I would help them IN raising the necos-
sary funds. as tho National Committee.
under control OF Chairman Cortelyou. had
utterly failed Of obtaining them. and there
was large amount due from them to the
New York State Committee.
Il explained him that I understood
the difficulty here was mainly caused
by the upstate leaders being unwilling
10 support Depew for reelection as United
States Senator; that if he Depew. could
be taken care of in some other way 1
thought matters could be adjusted and the
different contending elements IN the party
brought into close alliance again. We
talked over what could be done for De-
pew and. finally. he agreed that II found
necessary he would appoint him as AM
bassador to Paris.
With fun belief that he, the Presi-
dent. would keen this agreement
came back to New York, sent for
Treasurer Bliss. who told me that 1
was their last hope. and that they had
exhausted every other resource. In
his presence ] called up an intimate
friend Of Senator Depew, told him that
it was necessary in order TO carry New
York State that 100000 should be
raised at once and II he would help I
would subscribe $4,000. After { few
words over the telephone the gentlemen
said he would let me know, which he
did probably in three or four hours.
with the result that the whole amount
Including my subscription, had been
raised
The checks were given to Treasurer
Bliss. who took them to Chairman Cor
telyou. II there were any among them
Of life Insurance companies. or any
other like organizations, Of course Cor
telyou must have informed the Presi-
dent I do not know who the sub
scribers were other than the friends of
Depew, who was an Individual. This
amount enabled the New York State
Committee to continue It's work, with
the result that at least $4,000 votes
were turned IN the city Of New York
alone making a difference of 100000
votes IN the general result
There are between 2,200 ard 1900 dis
trict in Greater New York. and in a
campaign such as that the expenditure
OF. say. $50 in each district for cam
paign purposes. not including the
watchers on election day. would take
moret han 100000"
