nAnE MHNcs
Helena, Mont. Sept. 2s-In his prin-
cipal speech here tonight Senator
Fairbanks discussed at some length
the charges of corruption made against
the Republican party. He refrained
carefully from mention of Judge Par
ker's name. but it was understood by
all that the speech was inspired by
the utterances of the Democratic can
didate on this subject in his letter of
acceptance. Speaking of the part
played by President Roosevelt In the
prosecution of the postoffice scandals,
Mr.. Fairbanks said:
He has enforced the laws. He has
driven corruption out of public places.
He set to work a corps of inspectors
in the great Postofice Department, one
OF the greatest pieces of official
mechanism in the world. Thousands
are employed in it, yes. tens of thous-
ands. Is it at all to be wondered at
that now and then among this vast
army there should be one who should
forget his duty to his government and
go wrong? Is it to be wondered at?
