added:
"The managers of one candidate have
founded their hopes upon securing the
cooperation of political ORGANIZATIONS
and claims have been made by both OF
the opposing candidates which are dls-
proved by correspondence filed with
our committee. Canvasses have been
made by us and in every case the poll
has shown increased support Tor MI:
Whitman. In response to the demand
of enrolled Republicans, counties with
an aggregate enrolment of more IMAM
$4,000, out Of 500, 900 enrolled Kepuo-
licans in the state. have declared Tor
Mr.. Whitman" ,n
"All Hodges wants is square DEAL
said Luther B. Little, chairman OF ms
committee, last night. We want the
primary law observed in letter ana ID
spirit. He is abiding by 1t himself ana
in every speech has said he wanted
every individual TO be able TO vote Tree
from coercion. The conduct CT most o.
the leaders is in direct violation OF the
ALLlEuUe Ol NlaE ltAA - NNNLA''NN-
Waldorf conference and the Saratoga
convention"
When William Barnes was asked
what he had to say in reply to the
Charges that he was telling Repuo'

vote for Human and that they must
vote fer Whitman he said;
"As an individual ! have perfect
right when my advice is asked TO give
il. / have no patronage to give and can
offer TO inducements to any one to take
my advice" 80.
Mr.. Barnes has replied to the letter
Of Herman Beyers, making similar crlti-
cisms of his conduct, but would not
give it out for publication.
1t was reported yesterday L GER
tain members of the Barnes group 'ried
TO induce Mr.. Hedges to retire and
throw his support to Mr.. Whitman, but
