reply to Mr.. Cannon:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS
An interview with Mr.. Bernard Can
non which appeared in the issue Of
your paper Of yesterday, was brought
to my attention upon arriving in the
city last evening. Upon reading the
statement of Mr.. Cannon l was at first
disposed to dismiss the matter from my
mind without further consideration, as
the statement itself is to any intelli-
gent mind but the billingsgate of a
person bereft of dignity. The state
ment of Mr.. Cannon, however, is so
glaringly misrepresentation of the true
situation and as it is plainly intended
to affect other persons l have couclud-
ed to submit a brief reply.
Mr.. Cannon says that "false pre-
lenses" were resorted to in order to
have Senator MARITIME appear at the
meeting Of the Wilson Clsb. l fail to
understand how Mr.. Cannon can truth
fully make that statement as he was
not present at the time and when as a
matter of fact every detail of the local
political situation was in the first in
slant brought to the senator's atten-
ton through his representative.
The Wilson Club was never intended
to primarily assist any candidate but
to further the principles and practices
as laid down and encouraged by our
governor. With this end in view the
Wilson Club RETAINED from even en-
dorsing many of it's members who were
candidates for nomination at the pres
