Bonrdtgan. and that the latter three gentlemen I were most emphatic at the gathering ; nl the dub house In their insistence I that money was needed right away, caused Democratic politicians to ask j if the Republican situation was not be i coming desperate. Chairman Patrick H McCarren, of the Democratic campaign commltt’c. tusked a Journal reporter with a sm’lc "Haven't they' about given up the | tight across the way?" He meant, of course, the Roosevelt i managers ut the Fifth Avenue. Mr. Root is underatod to have made the prlneloal address at the Union League gathering. He wkr quoted by those who heard hint as having suli-, slantiftlly repealed the charge made publicly by Chairman Qutgg. of the Republican county committee, that the brewers were raising a large fund for the Democratic ticket and that It be hooved the Union League Club, as the leading Republican organization of the c|#, to help offset It. Mr. Root refer red to the apathy which seemed to he prevalent among Republicans and beg ged his bearers to remember that Mr. Roosevelt is a fellow member of the Union League, and that the organiza tion w«s in duty bound to do what it could to secure tils election. Mr. Boardman followed in an impas sioned speech, declaring that the sin ews of war were badly needed by the state and county committees, and ex pressed the hope that not only would those present be liberal In their contri butions. but that the members of the ooinmHtees named to secure subscrip tions would impress upon those they met the necessity of being very gener ous in their gifts. * good start to ward the fund was made at the meet ing Itself. The members in attendance declined firmly to divulge how much had been pledged.
