Robinson of Indiana, was told today ny Boyd Gurley, editor of the Indianapolis Times, that "the Times knows of no wa> it can apologize' to Senator Robinson aud deal fairly with its readers " The assertion was made in an editorial prepared for publication in the Times today in reply to Senator Robinson's letter demanding u "retraction" of what the junior senator said was n “grossly false statement about him in another editorial published in the Times of Sept. 12. Tiie editorial read: "The machine created in these days of super-government Is the one I which sent Watson and Robinson back to the senate. Os course they wilt not resign. They should inasmuch as they went into office as beueficarles ot a system which was not known to all the people. v They are In the position of receiving office under false pretenses." Os this editorial, Senator Robinson wrote: -v "Senator Watson is ill in tho City of Rochester, Minnesota, und 1 have not been able to confer with him With reference to this editorial. I can, therefore, speak only for myself. So far as I am concerned, the statement quoted above is absolutely false and grossly libels me. 1 demand, therefore, that it be retracted within three days from this date, the retraction to be given as much prominence in your newspaper as was given the statement complained of. "I am making this demand on you aud through you on the Indianapolis Times Publishing company.” The Times' editorial today said “It would Tike to say that Indiana has a junior senator who was never a friend of Stephenson in his dragon days ot power, never the associate of George V. Coffin in politics, never a part of the super-government of this state. "But the Times, so it happens, is pledged to give its readers nothing but Hie truth and of course the senator would not expect It to stultify itself by cowardly ruiming before his implied threats. "There lias been super-govei nment in this state and It is super-govern-ment which the Times is lighting and endeavoring to finish. "It is fighting to* end.the time when a U. S. senator will endavor to influence, for political consideration and expendiences, the decisions of its supreme court. "Will you tell the people of this state, Senator Robinson, that you did not make such an attempt? "Will you tell the people 'that you never knew Stephenson and were uot on close and friendly terms with him when he was a political power? Will you tell the people exactly your relationships with George V Coffin, the political boss of this . equity, who i “No, senator, tiie times .is not yet when the Times can honestly write only pleasant things of Indiana’s junior, senator.” J, rDUVALLTURY IS HALF COMPLETED (COX TIM KO I’KOM I‘AC.E OXEI maia' recent newspaper articles today resulted in a ruling by Judge D.
