Republican Trust Magnates.

Republican Trust Magnates.
Following an attack Of Nationa
Chairman Mack Friday on the cor
poration affiliations Of George r
Sheldon, treasurer OF the Republican
national committee, it was learne;
Friday night that the Democratic
national committee is preparing {,
assail the corporation connections c.
William Nelson Cromwell, membe!
Of the advisory committee OF the Re
publican national committee.
Other mem bers Of the Republical
advisory committee, it is understood
are also to be investigated and rep
resentatives Of the Democratic COM
mittee are carefully inQuirilg int
the financial records Of the Repub.:
can committeeman. For several days
the corporation records Of Mr.. Crom-
we'll have been under quiet inves-
tigation, but whether the represeu-
tatives Of the Democaticr committee
have learned anything OF Mr.. Crom-
wells financial operations other than
the companies with which he is
identified has not been made known
Nr. Mack made the following
statement:
s'The trust and corporation ahlia-
tons OF George z. sheloon, treas
u.er Of the Republican national COM
mittee for the past 10 years make
interesting reading in view OF the
recent developments in the campaign.
''I wish to recall in this connec-
tion that, because Of these very as
sociations OF his, Governor Odell n
1902 refused to permit the party
leaders to put Mr.. Sheldon IN nom
fnation for lieutenant governor.
Governor Odell at that time declarei
that he could not accept the re
nomination for head of the State
ticket IL Sheri6on were named As
his running mate. But while the
Republican party has refused to put
up Mr.. Sheldon.s name for public
ONCE, it has for the identical reasons
OF this refusal selected him for us
campaign fund collector.
.'This can not be denied. Most
OF the corporations with which NJ.
Sheldon is identified are capitalized
for millions. How much OF the'f
stock is of the liquid variety can be
easily ascertained. Yet Mr.. Rooss-
yelt has defended him, and his
RESIGNATION was not demanded when
Mfr. DUPONT was invited to step down
and out. Mr.. DUPONT was only idea-
tiled with one trust, while Mr.. Shet'
don is at the present time intimately
connected with 10 less than IT prom
;nent financial concerns.
'Mr. Sheldon is director OF that
eonpanv. He is also treasurer and
director Of the North American COM
pany, capitalized for $50, 100000
concern known as the mystery Of
vWall Street Il is but few years
back since he was prominently ioen-
tiled with the 'whiskey trust A
glance ats his connection with various
companies for the past 10 years VIII
explain tersely the. reason OF MS
present position. No further com
ment Of mine is necessary.
