manage his campaign to be nominated to the United States Senate on the Republican ticket.
 If he says he didn't know because Roraback did.i,t tell him, ask him if he read the speech of the great Re publican senator, Robert IaF,ollette, in which all the facts of the great conspiracy were displayed to the gaze of the world, in speech which was printed in the congresstonal record
 If he says he didn't read that speech. ask him why he didn't
 .sIf he read it, ask him why he didn't do something about it. & When he has answered all these questions, ask him this question:: Why did you at the banquet given In Bridgeport. Dec. 29, 1918, charge in specific terms that the people of Connecticut were unjust to the men wSo had footed the New Haven ra4l- roao e'
 Ask him. .sDo you now believe. since all the directors have resigned. and since the stockholders have be- gun suit against Ed Robbins, Billiard and others, demanding reNE4tution 0f missing funds, that the people of Con necticut have abused these gentle men ?''

 WIFE TAKES HOLD
 OF TANGLED BOOKS
Young Merchant Said to Have Left Wife and Child.
 for Parts Unknown

George Howard scribner, president of the scrtbners Company, Inc, real estate, insurance and rents dealers, 143 Fairfield avenue, has mysteriously disappeared. The books of the com pany are ins such a confused state that it has been necessary to close the doors of the office while Mrs. Scribner, who is credited with being business woman far above the av- craze of her sex, is attempting to put them in shape and ascertain the real condition of affairs
 Many runaors as to the whereabouts of Scr1bner and his reasons for dis appearing are today af1oat, but many Of them are not to be credited. This fact, however, has been established After some disputes at the family residence, 587 Wood avenue Mrs. ScT1bner and her child removed to the home Of her mother, Mrs. Frank A. Merwin, 228 Clinton avenue, and the hoqsehoId furniture has been placed in storage. e
 S. Attorney George B. Hill, counsel for the Scribner Company, today admit ted that the affairs Of the Scribner' S Company were much entangled ana that it would probably be several days before 1t could be learned what were the exact assets and liabilities of the company He also admit ted that Scrfbner had not been seen or heard from in this city for period of nearly a week. He secuted the idea that he may have met with foul play and expressed the hope that he could soon be located and brought back to this city to assure those who have done business with him of the. integ- rity of the company.
 The Ecr1bner's Company was estab- lished many years by the late How ard H. Scrtbner, father of George Scribner. He has done a very large and prosperous business and those who have been associated with the firm today hope for it's continuance.
