A List that would startle the Nation

In the action now being tried for
the purpose of dissolving the Stand
ard Oil company, it has been shown
that many millions have been an
nually loaned" by the big trust to
parties who were never expected to
repay the sums received by them.
Who received these millions? Law
yer Kellogg who.;s conducting the
case for the government rs going to
call William q. Rockefeller and ask
him to explain why and to whom
these so-called loans were made. A
true list of the men to whom the
Standard Oil Co. gave these millions
would, without doubt, startle the
nation and destroy the faith of the
public in dozens Of men high in the
councils Of the government.

The Hearst-Republican Alliance in New
York

Hearst is reformer, perhaps the
most radical reformer and condemn
er Of public and corporate dishonesty
in this country. He was elected
mayor of New York city about two
years ago and counted out by the
plunderbund Of that big metropolis.
And that plunderbund has> been
strong enough ever since to keep the
ballot boxes closed and the details
Of their work from being made pub
lie. This could not have been done
if the judiciary Of Empire state had
not lent its aid. And again last fall,
when Hearst was candidate for
governor, the plunderbund made
the fight Of its life against him.
This plunderbund has, strictly
speaking, no politics, nor any reason
for its existence, except the protec-
ton Of the big criminals of high f.
nance. McCarren, the Standard
Oil man and boss of the so-called
democrats of Brooklyn, and Secre
tary Root, the corporations repre-.
sentative in Roosevelt's cabinet,
joined forces and succeeded in de-
feating Mr.. Hearst for Governor,
while every other candidate on the
ticket with Mr.. Hearst was elected.
Under such conditions Mr.. Hearst
may feel more than justified in form
ing an alliance with the republicans,
or with some republican faction in
New York for the election of new
men for the Judiciary in that state.
Mr.. Hearst's friends will justify
him in doing anything which will
tend to break up the gang that has
no religion, except dollars, and no
politics, except greed.
