CAPITOL CULLINGS

can National Committee are having
rough shedding these days, meeting
with rebuffs from sources never
known to vince in the past when
called on to yield up the ducats. Mil

Committee, is president of the Riggs

is the representative here of the
National City Bank OF New York.
which of course means that it is one
of the numerous tentacles of that
great financial octupus, J. p. Morgan
and Co. Hench. Mr.. Allies is in u
pretty direct sense Mr.. Morgan's
representative. He was selected be-
cause all OF Big Business would rec
ognize his signature as implying a
suggestion that you had better

yourself in good standing with the
The principle of implied suggestion
, is we'll understood In the Republican
National Committee--in fact. it was

expression yielded 100000 in cash.
But these diplomatic maneuvers
don't always bring the cash--thero
is a revolt on. One of the most in

letter written to Mr. Allies the other
day by Colonel Charles NJ. Warner.
president of the Warner Sugar Re-
flning Company, and of the Warner
Quinlan Company, a man who IS
well past IS years old and who has
voted the Republican ticket all OF
his life. A careful examination Of
his letter fails to disclose any intm-

my Dear Mr.. Allies: have your
letter of Aug. ., in which you ask
my cooperation to seCare the cleo
,tion of Republican Congress in
November. | have voted the Repub-

have made contributions whenever
requested by the Republican party.
You ask me- if | have observed
that the Democrats true to form, are
basing their hopes on discomfort
and dissatisfaction. Haven't they
right to feel disconnected and dis
satisfied?
what has the Republican Con-

clique in Congress passing tariff

purpose than to make the public

with the present performances of the
Republican party, as eXemplified by
its Administration, and the only way
these Republicans, who are now
drunk with power can be disciplined
