Manifestations of Desire for Closer

SWAPPING OF TRUST sHAcKLEs.

VATII world Of significance is embodied in
w small advertisement that THE JOUR
NAL has been running on this page. headed ITO
Republicans This article appeals to lovers Of
the Republican party and Of the country, to con-
tribute one dollar each for the Congressional cam
paign fund. II asks those who approve Of the
administration and policy OF President Roosevelt
TO send in their dollar for the necessary expenses
Of conducting the coming canvass which will, in
a measure, tell whether the administration has
the seal Of approval Of the millions OF voters in
this vast nation
What a change it is! Only few years ago
the method Of raising funds by soliciting dollar
contributions would have been despsed and
laughed at Men Of wealth then empted their
pockets and demanded special favors and privi-
leges in return for their contributions They
wished to hold a mortgage on both political par
ties. Mostly they contributed to the Republi-
cans because they knew the Republican policies
were more than likely to win popular approval
The Democrats also eagerly seized all the contri-
buttons of this nature that came their way.
The announcement that the Republicans this
year would not gather money from the trusts and
other exploiters was quickly followed by plan
OF the Democrats to raise their meagre funds by
the same methods. Both parties are to be CON
graduated upon their policies. The last year or
SO demonstrated what great scandal turks in the
collection and dispensing of huge campaign funds.
1t is against these evils that Theodore Roose-
welt firmly set his face His Influence has halted
the levyng Of tributes upon the trusts and his
wish has brought the conduct Of the coming CAM
paign close to the hearts of the people
The action of the President has been received
with widespread approval. The party at the end
of the next victorious campaign will be absolutely
free from suspicion of sinister influences. No cor
poraton or no group of men that regard govern
ment as a means for enhancing their own hnan-
cial fortunes can take the party by the throat
and extort favors or privileges. The people will
come into their own.
That little article, "To Republicans tells a
mighty tale. 1t snaps the shackles that has bound
politics in this country in recent years to sordid,
selfish debasing, plundering commercialism 1t
sounds the buge of freedom and its answer from
the people will be as clear and inspiring as a
mountain echo Let the dollars roll in.

ALREADY ON THE WRONG TRACK.

THOSE OF our people who expected some
4 good results to come from the activity of the
Anti Bribery League have cause to be dsap-
pointed for the reason that early in the campaign
the first work of that organization is being turn
ed tostheslise OF the Democratic party. Judging
from the accurate account given in the news col
umns Of this paper, Friday and Saturday rela-
tive to the investigation being made by the At
torney- Generals office and at the request, and
to some extent under the guidance of the anti
Bribery League, no other conclusion can be
reach than that the investigation was instgated
by Democratic politicians of the most discredated
type and by them intended to work to the harm
of the Republican party We do not mean to inn
ply that the Ant-Bribery League, as an organza-
ton has turned itself over as adjunct OF the
Democratic campaign committee, but, in this the
managers Of the League seem to have been made
the victims of political plot or scheme 1t is
even hinted that one or two of the active men in
the League, men who have been known for years
to be intensely Democratic, are not unaware of
the objects and purpose that certain Democrats
have had in urging the investigation at this par
ticular time Republicans have been notified
throughout the state, that if they register it is
proposed to have them hauled before the Attor-
ney- General, who will in his inqusitoral capa-
city, subject them to sweating process, and re-
quire them to give full account of themselves
and their doings and whereabouts, and also in
what way, from whom, and for what purpose they
obtained the money with which they registered.
Spreading such report as this, was done to deter
Republicans from registering, supposing that
they would not care to register if they thought
they were likely to be called before the Attorney
General and subjected to a ridiculous examina-
ton, and besides lose considerable time. The
plot has been exposed, and we believe it will work
but little to the advantage of those cunning and
unscrupulous Democrats who do not hesitate to
stoop to anything that has the prospect of giving
them an advantage. There is plenty for the anti
Bribery League to do in carrying out its laudabe
objects, and it needs not the suggestion from
us that the moment it is found to be made the
ally of any political party, faction OF personal in
terest, its usefulness will end at once and the
organization be discredited and condemned by all
worthy citizens

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious TO have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work Of
this campaign with popular sabscrip-
tions Of One Dollareach from Repub-
lioans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve great victory.
