RIPLEY DENIES 1T
President Nails X. G. Story That Santa
Fe Is Against Wilson.

A Kansas City paper yesterday aft
ernoon printed a story to the effect
that the order had gone out from high
officials of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad that everything
must be done to defeat President Will
son. The item was based on the fact
that Republicans held a noon meeting
in the public street between the Santa
Fe's freight depots in Kansas City. The
Democrats previously had asked per-
mission to hold a meeting in one of the
freight houses, but the request was
denied on the ground that it is the
policy of the Santa Fe to keep clear
of political entanglements. The Re
publicans afterward asked permission
to hold meeting, and their request
also was denied. The next day the
Republicans held a meeting in The
street, and about twenty-five Santa
Fe freight handlers attended. The
story developed from that incident.
When advised of the report, President
E. P. Ripley, who was at the station
ready to take a train for Chicago, die
tated the following note to tie Kansas
City paper:
s'There is no truth in the report OF
Santa Fe order that everything must
be done to defeat. Wilson. The Santa
Fe does not participate in politics
Every employe knows that he is free
to vote as he pleaSeS and that he viii

franchise Holding a political meet
ing in public street was none OF the
