| SOME ACTUAL RETURNS
From the Begging Letters Sent Out
In, New York by. the Republican
Leaders Give Them the Cold Shis-
.ers-Amusing Story of q Republi-
can Congressman and His Speeches
The Washington correspondent OF
THE State says Madame Rumor--.
| who is cousin to Dame Truth is cir-
culating an interesting report con-
cerning some Of the happenings
around the headquarters Of the Re-
publican congressional campaign
committee In Washington.
1t is we'll known that the Demo
cratic campaign textbook this year
contains some able speeches made by
Republican members Of congress du-
| ring the last session Of congress ana
during the tariff extra session OF last
year. :. = - ;;.,, ,., s
The committee having i'll charge
the compilation Of the book decided
| that it would be- good poiitice to
condemn the Republican party out
Of its members'own mouths. and
thence the Republican speeches in the
Democratic book: :. .G
These Republican speeches. by ths
way. are filed with some good Demo
cratic doctrine. which has taken pos
session of a wing Of the Republicans
because they recognize that the pee
| pie were. leaning toward the Oen'os-
racy. y
But the interesting report that
Madame Run1or is circulating. MAX
| Ing the Democrats chuckle over It, IS
that certain Republican. members OF
congress, in their efforts to, secure
reelection. have sent out, In bulk.
large numbers of their speeches to-
be distributed among their const1tu-
tents under their franks. ~
Later. on, however, it was found
that the constituents In some cases
| we're beginning to lean; so stro,siy
in the direction opposite that sup
ported in the speeches that the MEM
bers in question got busy and sent
messages directing their clerks not
to send out the speeches, as Fhey
| were likely to help the other. fel-
low! .;g 90, 3. = i ~
Sa far there has been no, definite
confirmation OF the rumors. Rs u
would be disastrous to the Repubii-
cans II they were to let sucn thing
get out. and every effort is made to
prevent its confirmation. 1t Is, also
positively stated that the rumor =
not true; but the Democratic chuck
ling goes on; just the same.
But some Of the returns. or re-
plies sent by Republicans In New
York to the appeal OF the campaign
committee for funds have actually
fallen into the hands OF the Demo-
Gratis and been made public. One OF
the speeches is that OF Charles G.
Cowan Of New York. He wrote toe
chairman of the Republican commit
tee as follows:
Your appeal ofthe 18th inst. to
my patriotism has been duly re-
ccived and read. If the Republican
party OF New York insists on the ao-
solute honesty OF public officials.
why does it permit Itself to be- boss
ed by that self-convicted. all-rouno
faker and hypocr!te, Theodore Roose-
velt? II Charles F. Murphy and
Tammany Hall are 'enimies Of good
government they have never shown
themselves to be anarchists
"No, you can't count upon my AID
The comparison which yeu draw be-
tween the results that would follow 2
Democratic and Republican house
OF representatives may be very salts
flying to your imagination. but rest
assured that 1t will be Democrat
Ic and that Dix will be the next gov
ernor OF New York and a Democrat
the next President Of the United
States"
Another Republican. in announc-
ing that he is going TO vote the Dem
| ocraic ticket this year for the first
time in his life. made the following
remark:
II have always been i Republican,
but 7 want to make this point plain:
Ii .Mr. Charles F. Murphy is respon-
sjblr for. Mr. Dix as the Democratic
candidate for governor. ] am one OF
those tair-nlinded Republicans hiv-
ing no selfish political interest 70
serve who are willing to give Mr..
Murphy credit for exercising as good
! Judgment in this instance Us he did
when he picked William J. Gaynor
as the mayorality candidate for New
York"
There Is talk now Of the orSanizd-
lion OF Dix Republican clubs IN
New York. and they will probably be
organized in some localities between
now and November 8.
