amalgamation of all interests. The
body does not actually include in its
membership wholesale and retail Ii
quor dealers, but their support, it is
said, will be given in the campaign

weeks ago.

for $155,753 against Morse to cover the
value of 500 shares of bank stock
which Morse had sold to Mr.. Smith
with the agreement that he would pay
$150,000 for it whenever Mr.. Smith
wanted to return it.
Since Mr.. Morse's elimination from
the New York banking situation he
has transacted most of his business at
