"A day or two later Mr.. Duell called or
me stating that he had seen Mr. Whitman
and that MIR. Whitman realized that h,
had made a great mistake and was only
anxious to redeem himself and that he
would shortly issue the statement that
he had promised and attack Mr.. Barne.
by name. announcing that he was as much
against Mr. Barnes as no was against Mr.
| told Mr.. Duell that doubted
whether Mr.. Whitman would venture &c
make any such statement and that
could not commit myself in advance as
to what my action would be in the even,

"A little later. on July or 4. Mr.
Duell forwarded to me through my son

GENTLEMEN In answer 10 your let
ter ~ July 49,. 1914. TO the effect that
In the newspapers OF the state con-
siderable misunderstanding has arisen
on the ground I am Mr.. Barnes's
machine choice for Governor, I wish
to say that any such statements are
uneauivocally false. You say that
my silence has had the tendency to
estop my friends from denying that
am opposed to boss rule. regret
this. OF course. but notwithsta nding
this fact and any former misunder-
standing, have always meant to be
perfectly clear on this point.
In order therefore that there may

may dispose once and for all OF the
absurd question that 7 am Barnes's
choice for Governor I will state that
am and always have been absolutely
against him and all that he stands for
In politics.
There Is no middle ground and in
the coming fght this fall each voter
~ the state Is either for Mr.. Barnes
or against Mr.. Barnes, for MI. Muir
ply or against Mr.. Murphy.
am against Mr.. Barnes and snail
