HARTMAN DEAD:-Edward il.
Hartman, the leading railroad mag
nate OF the world, died at his home IN
New York Thursday. A full ac-
count OF his life and achievements
will be found on inside pages. IL is
impossible correctly to estimate the

Hartman has done is possible now.
His ability and greatness are evident.

our country.

DEMOCRATIC MOvE:-The. decent
members OF the Democracy in New
York state have been meeting at
Saratoga to attempt to throw off
the control OF Tammany and other
corrupt interests over their party and
state. They believe that II is still
possible to make the New York Demo-
cracy powerful and respected. Unfor-
tunately. their hopes are shared by
very few people, as the strength Of
Tammany is pretty well known.
