Sneakers. Mason Says.

The Democratic mana gers, IL was sara
last night, were preparing to send 10 all
parts of the state the answer John A DlN
made to the charges that he was connected
with a paper trust. They realize the serl-
BUSINESS of the charge and wish to give his
answer the widest publicity.
At Democratic headquarters they say
they are working harder than they nave
for years, but Indications do not show H.
State Chairman Huppuch was still up the
state yesterday. William s. Rode, chair
man of the executive committee, was not at
his desk. John a. Mason, the faithful sec

remark that there did not seem to be much
activity among the Democrats Mr.. Mason
replied:
Never in my experience of twenty-five
years with the Democratic State Commit

Also the people seem anxious for litera-
ture of all kinds, particularly that about
the high cost of living

Republican County Committee refusing to

Roosevelt. He asserted that he had voted
for Mckinley and Hughes and Taft. but
did not say that he had ever classed him
self a regular Republican.
Thomas NJ. Osborne. chairman of the
Democratic League. sent out an appeal for
funds to the members of the organization
yesterday. The circular reads. in part:
I'VE urge you on behalf of the league to
exert all the influence you possess to Sc
cure votes for the Hon. John A. Dix for
Governor.
THE members should do all in their
power 10 swell the majority for John A.
Dix
1T should do all in its power 10 help
elect such other candidates as forward the
Democratic policies advocated by the
league"
No other names are mentioned. however.
