New York-NationaI Chairman N.

treasurer of the republican nation
al committee, charging lat Mr.. Shell
don was at this time connected with
no less than Seventeen financial COM
panies. Mr. Mack made the follow
ing statement:
The Trust and Corporation affil-
iations of Geo. r. Sheldon, treasurer

Citations of his, Gov. Odell in 1902,
refused to permit the party leaders
to put Mr.. Sheldon in nomination
for lieutenant governor.
Gov. Odell at that time declared
that he would not accept the re-nom-
nation for head of the state ticket
If Sheldon were named as his run
ming mate. But while the republi-
can party has refused to put up Mr..
Sheldon's name for a public office, it
has for the identical reasons for the
refusal. selected him to be its cam
paign fund collector. Most of the corr
porations with which Mr.. Sheldon
is identified are capitalized for mill
lions. How much of their stocks is
of the liquid variety can be easily
ascertained. Yet Mr.. Roosevelt has
defended him and his resignation
was not demanded when Mr.. Dupont
was invited to step down and out.
Mr.. Dupont was only identified with
one trust, while Mr.. Sheldon is at the
present time intimately identified
with no less than seventeen promi-
nent financial concerns.
One of these, the Bethlehem
Steel Company, does not employ un-
lon labor and has opposed the or
ganization of its employees for the
past sixteen years.
Mr.. Sheldon is a director of that
company. He is also treasurer and
director of the North American Com
pany, capitalized for $3O,000,0OO, a
concern known as the Mystery of
Wall Street. A glance at his con-
nections with various companies for
the past ten years will explain terse-
ly the reason of his present position.

Mack include railway, Industrial and

he desired to make a reply.
Elihu Root visited republican head
quarters last week, and made inquir-
les regarding the working of the va
