The only difference Is in the best manner of getting at the subject so as to make the law prohibitive. Among the well known men of the state who will do all in their power to get rid of the pistol is Brooks Lawrence.

Friends of President Roosevelt Are Trying to Belittle New York's Gov ernor-lmmigrato Report
 May Be Delayed.

Washington. November 7.-(Speclal) )- The fact that Governor Hughes of New York voted the fusion ticket instead of that offered by the democrats is now being strongly placed by friends of the President against the nomination of the New York executive In fact, Governor Hughes is catching it hot from sources mighty close 10 the President not only on account of this vote, but for his veto of the New York legislature 2-cent rate bill. It is even being said that the Hughes public utilities bill is beginning to be understood as a corporation meas ure.
 It is becoming more evident daily that the man the administration most fears is Governor Hughes and the third termers, seeing the drift of things. are wasting no time spreading reports that if the President doesn't take the nomi- nation Hughes will Governor Hughes supporters do not believe the fact that he voted for fusion will affect him. They explain that he could spot dods,e voting, nor vote the democraM ticket so there was nothing else left for him to do.

When Jake Stahl induced Doc Hide
