Who Contributes the Money Used
in Politics?

Each year few thousands of dol
lars are contributed to campaign
committees by patriotic citizens who
desire to promote the party of their
choice, and their money is given
without Interior object or motive.
Small sums are given in that way,
but the hundreds Of thousands and
millions, which flow into the Golfers
of some campaign committees, do not
come from any such source.
Men aro not contributing tens Of
thousands of dollars to this or that
campaign committee to secure q
square deal for the general public
When contributions Of that kind are
made, they are made for a distinc-
lively opposite purpose. They are
made with the expectation, on the
part Of the donor, of securing through
legislation, or in some other way, an
advantage over the general public
The thieving, law-breaking corpora.
ton that wants TO continue its rob
berries, can be relied upon for large
sum. 1t is by no means creditable
but quite the reverse, for campaign
manager to have at his finger ends
more campaign funds than he car
honestly use. 1t means that he has
sold the protection Of his party tt
criminals and lawbreakers, and pro
missed special privileges. and gratis
in exchange for money with which
to purchase an. election. Every
time man votes for. the party with
the big campaign fund, he vote,
away his own rights and the rights
of his fellow citizens. That cam.
paign fund represents understand
inas and agreements adverse to the
interests Of the public.

proof was in the form of written mem

listed. To prove this lie says he quotes
ex-senator Chandler in written mem

White House at the outset of the nego-

Washington, May 1.-THE recent eff
forts Of the president and the Demo-
cratic senatorial leaders to reach an
agreement on the rate bill received
further notice ~ v the-zsaiiiif1te from Bal
l-!esIand Tillman. The matter was re-
ferred to by the Texas senator In the
course of a personal explanation called
ont by an article in the Chicago
Tribune charging Bailey with respon
sibility for the failure to find common
ground, and by Tillman in a speech
in support of Bailey and in presenting
n further statement from ex-senator
Chandler. In the address Bailey de-
nounced the article in question as a
lie" and the author and inspirer of it
as liars" The special gave ex-Sena-
tor Chandler as authority, and prac.
tically characterized Bailey as traitor
to rate regulation.
Bailey Is Quietly Wrathful.
Bailey was very quiet in tone; he
did not rant; he said his say without
raising his voice much higher than a
conversational tone. He declared he
had not taken part in the question Of
veracity now up; that he had never
conferred with the president directly
nor with Chandler. and had not even
given n public expression OH the mat
ter of good faith. He said the cor
respondent referred to was very close

speak with some degree of authority

said: II dcnomce that correspondent
as an unqualified. deliberate and
malicious liar. denOunce the man
who inspired the statement as an I'M
qualified, deliberate aid malicious liar,
whoever he may be and however high
the Office he holds" Tillman then took
the floor on question of personal priv
ilege because the special had said that
Tillman was suspicious Of Bailey
This Tillman denied with emphasis
adding that the correspondent was a
muck rake" but that Into whose
house the handle goes, or what hand
holds 1t, will not attempt to say
Then he said there were eight distinct

Bet 5 to 4 on Washington Today.

The rain that prevented the game
between Chicago and the Senators
was welcomed by both players and
fans as the heat was intense and it
turned out cool and pleasant in the
evening. Manager Jones intended
pitching Frank Smith yesterday and
it would seem that he would be given
a chance at Washington today but
as a continuity of victories is very
much desired now that the Sox are
out smashing records for consecutive
victories. it is said that Ed.
Walsh and Patterson viii be sent into
the box instead. The Senators are
especially anxious to break Chicago's
winning streak and it is said that
there were wagers made last evening
at the odds of to 4 that Washing
ton will take one of the games today.

Critics often refuse to recognize
that which is not labored; where no
violence Of direction is shown they
see no art. To follow too closely
to nature is considered rude by some
it indicates lack of culture To
them, but the great majority of thea
ter-goers are quick to recognize and
appreciate a play that deals with
human nature. Such a play is The
Slow Poke" The author has given
his characters the quaint mannerisms
of speech and the localisms" of their
own western atmosphere and the play
is well seasoned with the homely wit
there current. Seldom has a piece
been accorded such unstinted praise
by both press and public and CRATE
full indeed must be the feelings Of
the young star, Mr. w b. Patton,
at the many kind words and lauda-
tory criticisms accorded him. The
management has an entirely new
scenic investure of the most elabor-
ate character for the production this
season and a cast of unusual excel
lence has been engaged for their es-
pecial fitness of the different roles.

Spuds Win Double-H Header.

The Spuds fiddled around yester-
day and managed to cop off two
games from the Phillies without half
trying. The first game was a white
wash and ended with the score 8 to
0, and the second came the Spuds'
way by the score of to 3. The
Chicago players are not swelled up
over the affair. however. for the
Quakers put up about as punk an
exhibition Of the national game as
has been seen on the west side field
this season. Richie and Lush. who
essayed to pitch for the visitors were
wild as could be. Lush was touched
for nine safe hits and Richie. al
though he allowed only two hits,
passed seven men and lost his game.
Ruelbaeh was in his usual good form
form in the first game and Lundgren
occupied the box for the Spuds in
the second. Santelle's Wild throws
were directly responsible for several
of the Spuds' runs in the first game.
The second game was characterized
by the heavy hitting of the Spuds
who succeeded in getting one run in
the second, four in the merry fourth
and two in the sixth.

Will Whiting Defeat Hammond !

1t is a peculiar fact that it has
taken the people of Hammond nearly
a whole season to enthuse over the
local baseball team when they have
been consistently playing splendid
games from the very start.
The series with Whiting has served
to rouse the enthusiasm of the fans
this, by the way, points to the fact
that it is a series of games that makes
baseball interesting and that manag-
ers will never make the game pay in
this city until they make the local
team member of some league
If tomorrow is a pleasant day there
will probably be the largest crowd
in attendance that has ever walked
into the local baseball park The
air is full of speculation in regard TO
the outcome of the game. A north
side man has bet 500 that Hammond
will be shut out by Whiting and
there are a dozen other bets made
on the result, until it has been esti-
mated that there is at least $1,000
up on the game
Here is the way they are figuring
out the dope in regard to the out
come When Hammond defeated
Whiting two weeks ago the Whiting
team had pitcher that Brading did
not have confidence in. For this
reason he did not dare to let him
self out and the game was lost 1t
is known that Writings old catcher
will be in the game tomorrow and it
is prophesied that there will be do
ings when Brading gets down to
work The reason why the oil city
people are so confident now is that
many think that a water tight bat
terry will make a difference between
to / and 1 to 2.
In the meanwhile the Hammond
fans are figuring that Donahue was
not compelled to pitch his best until
the last two innings of the former
game and that if it comes to a pinch
there will be about as faultless an
exhibition of the pitchers art as
could be seen outside the major
league diamond
1t seems to be a settled fact
though, that it will be a pitchers
battle and a fight to a finish at that
Donahue realizes that he has won
the confidence of the fans and it is
not likely that he will suffer a loss
of the prestige. that he has taken al
summer TO gain, at the hands oil
Brading or any other man in the
seni-professional class.
The Whiting lineup which follows
includes Close, who is one of the best
catchers in the country. Close anC
Brading are the men upon WHOM
Whiting is placing its hopes of vic
tory.
