would get them

said Mr.. New. 81 was Obliged to re-
fuse, and explained why. Manager
LaFollette's campaign manager has
asked for tickets and been refused,
all the presidential candidates being
treated alike in this matter.
President Taft has been allotted
$50 tickets as president of the United
States, for the use of himself, his
family. public officials and foreign
diplomats. This courtesy is one that
always has been shown by the ma
tional committee to republican presi-
dents.
Il object to Dixon's statement,
which makes it appear as if | had
snubbed Roosevelt. Nothing of the
kind was done'
Arrangements were completed to-
day for the installation of an emer-
gency hospital for the use of the con-
