Lawyer Hoke’s Tale of Woe
O
G M. H,
C S.
T, O., Sept. 16, 1901.
H. Gaylord Wilshire,
Editor C,
New
York, N. Y.
D S:
I have before me No. 37 of the C, published
in New York, Sept. 11, 1901. This was five days after the anarchist bullet was
fired at our President. I note a great deal in “No. 37” about H. Gaylord Wilshire,
but not a word concerning the attempt upon the life of the Chief Executive of
the best government on earth, your country and mine. In political convictions
I did not agree with Mr. McKinley, but I cannot fail to admire his many noble
qualities of mind and heart.
I have no place in my office for a publication
which has columns and columns to laud its egotistical editor and not a line
or a word for a martyred President.
My subscription to the C
expires next spring; as, therefore, I am not in arrears, I shall ask you to
discontinue sending it to my address.

Very truly,

G. M. H.
