_No important clues were left by which the identity of the dark figure could be traced. A close search developed several slight clues, which, though slight, may lead to detection. A copy of the Kansas City platform was found nearby; also a copy of “The Commoner”; also a card marked “W.J.B.”; also a well-thumbed photograph of Grover Cleveland; and also several bound volumes of speeches, entitled “Free Silver Speeches, by W. J. Bryan.” The child that was deserted had its name artistically worked on a bib and was very weak from long exposure._ ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOME FORGED CAMPAIGN LETTERS [Illustration] DOWN WITH THE WORKINGMAN To Patrick Mc Graw, President Amalgamated Order of Honest Workmen. Sir:— Your letter received. Personally, I consider the request that you make should more appropriately be presented to the mayor or your city. At the same time I cannot miss this opportunity to say a few things about labor organizations in general. I think organized labor is a serious menace to the welfare of our institutions; and I further think that any man who belongs to a Union should be treated as a criminal. There is no good in Unions. Every man who belongs to one is worse than an anarchist. If I am elected my first official act shall be to have every man who belongs to a labor union expelled from the country or de-naturalized. Furthermore, I think that men who work for a living have no license to live anyway. Yours respectfully, Theodore Rosefelt [** signature] HURRAH FOR WALL STREET ROSEMONT FARM Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, 952 Wall Street, New York City. Dear Friend:— Thanks for your very friendly letter. I am much encouraged by the news you send and am very glad to hear that the sentiment is so favorable to me. John D. called on me yesterday and left a substantial check, which, of course, will not be recorded in his name. It is needless to say that if I am elected my gratitude will assure a very substantial form and my friends in Wall Street need never fear that their prosperity will be jeopardized by any official act of mine. I shall be in New York Saturday and should like to see you privately at the Metropolitan Club. Mr. Baer, of the Reading Road, will also join us there. Yours gratefully, Alton P. Barker [** signature] THE HONEST FARMER IS A JAY. George K. Jamison, Chairman Hancock County Republican Control Com. Dear Sir:—
