Hutchinson, Jr, New York lawyer, who swore on the witness stand last week that the former Presi- dent had told him that the republican, party is not big enough to hold Barnes and myself"
 In regard to that quotation the col onel almost shouted that it was false. He said he did tell Hutchinson that he was willing. during the last guberna torial election in this state, to support 2 republican candidate who would wage war on republican and demo- cratic '.crookedness' but that he could not be expected to come back into the republican party as long as it was 'dominated by men of the stamp Of MT. Barnes"
