IAN this throws a curious light on
Mr.. Wilson's statement, reported In
the New York papers as having been
made in Denver the other day. to the
effect that there was a HalleiuJah
chorus OF the trusts In my favor. The
quotation is not accurate. I hope. for
of course there Is no particle of found
alton for any such statement.
THE only man Mr.. Wilson can refer
to among my supporters as representing
any trust Ii Mr.. Perkins, unless, in
deed, he includes Mr.. Munsey. These
two men, Mr.. Perkins eiid Mr.. Munsey.

Cleveland II. Dodge and Mr.. McAdoo
and Mr.. Crane. Mr.. Wilson's intimate
associates, are men of means. know
