]. r. Mclean. the independence league

breaker for the United Railroads last
year. s. Moore secretary of the cleo

does not stand sponsor for him or

have been filed against him and that

A pamphlet issued by the executive

The denial by President Roosevelt,

today. But after the election it leaked
out that the trusts and all connected
interests gave big sums-Mr. Harri-

says changed $4,000 voters in New York

republican detection from Governor
Hughes, but the republican leaders do
not place very much stock in these and
say that whatever votes Governor
Hughes loses in his own party will be
more than offset by gains from among
democrats and independent voters
