Washington, February s7-In the con-
test which is now going on for the Re-
publican nomination for the presidency,
the natives of Maine who are scattered
all over the nation. are almost univer-
sally making their influence felt in be-
half Of the New England candidate.
One Of these sons of Maine is behind
the Reed movement which has lately
been SO successful in securing delegates
in the far off State of Texas. The Lone
Star State was not considered Reed ter
ritory. Indeed, the impression had gone
abroad that Texas was one of the states
where Mr.. Reed was little known and
supported by few friends. The reason of
this probability was because the Maine
candidate was not known to the poll
ticians.
But he had friends thers who were not
particularly eminent in politics, who
had also the force and capacity to orga-
nize successfully the Reed strength
This is Mr.. Wilbur E. Crawford, former

go back to the period during and fol-

generally floated on a commission to

quently were opposed to their being
offered to the public. Mr.. Morgan denies
that he ever entered into any negotiation
with the President or the Secretary of
the Treasury for the bonds or had any I'M
Outstanding with them to that effect.
He organized his syndicate purely for the
purpose of averting a crisis which he
believed was impending, and which could
only be escaped by strengthening the re-
serve in the Treasury. He had many mis-
giyings, he says, about the success of his
undertaking but he was pleasantly dis
appointed at getting assistance much
Juore readily than he anticipated. His

have done so if called upon. Mr.. Morgan
says he was never opposed to offering the
bonds to the public He admits he had
doubts as to the success of a popular SUBJ
soription, but that he did not oppose it
he makes clear by letter he wrote to
the President some days before the treas
ury published it's advertisement, in which
he said:
II pledge to you every influence and
effort in my power to assist the govern
ment in its endeavor to make successful
a negotiation by public advertisement
which shall result in the sale to the
Treasury of II, 800, 900 ounces of United
States gold coin (S2oO, 0CO. 0O0), and fur
ther / will, so far as / possibly can,
take such steps as will enable the synd1-
cate which represent to join in making
the negotiation successful to it's full
amount"
That Mr.. Morgan redeemed this pledge
is shown by the fact that many Of the
most prominent subscribers to the loan
were members of his syndicate, and that
he dissolved the syndicate and freed
it's members of all obligations to him
the moment there was reason to believe it
could be dissolved without danger. In view
of Mr.. Morgan's statement which is fully
corroborated by letters written before 1t
was known that the bonds were to be
offered to- the public it is only just to say
that his action throughout this
matter has bean patiotio and entire
| ly free from self-seeking, and the insin-
nations that have been made against him
that he had been trying to force the gov
eminent into a corner in order to secure
great profits for himself ought to be with
drawn.

that he reflects the views of the govern

the Monroe doctrine Mr.. Balfour was
far more tolerant Of than are good
many of our own college professors who
are unnecessarily and very inopportunely
taking occasion to minimize and sheer at
it. indeed it looks very much as if the
only thing that will prevent England
from giving recognition to the principle
of that doctrine will be its abandonment
on our own part. In their anxiety to
prevent the possibility Of war good
many Americans ale dorg an altogether
unnecessary amount of surTendering; and
prominent among them are the college
