Then Mr., Mack Says:

NEW YORK, Oct. 3o.-Democratic
National Chairman Mack, after reading
the statement issued tonight at the
White House, where it was said some
amusement was caused by the an
nouncement of Mr.. Rockefeller in view
of what the administration had done
to the Standard Oil company, said:
"rhe White House statement is its
own answer. The bargain was made
between Taft's managers and Rookie
Teller and concerns the possible future
administration Of Mr.. Taft and not
what the present administration has or
has not done to the Standard Oil COM
pany."
Replying to another printed article
in which it was charged that Mr..
Rockefeller had been persuaded to In
dorse Taft at the instance of the DEM
ocratic national committee, Mr.. Mack
said:
"The statement is ridiculous and alb
surd on the face of it, and has already
been sufficiently answered by me-"

NEW YORK, oct. 3O.---The final and

by Broughton Brandenburg and sold to
the New York Times as the utterance
of the late president against Bryan:
This has been done by Miss L.. M.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-Charges were

~ man e. Mack chairman Of the
Democratic national committee. that
the declaration of John d. Rockefeller
for Taft for president was the result
of a deal between the Republican ma
tional committee and the Standard Oil
interests whereby National Chairman
Hitchcock received large campaign
contributions and Mr.. Rockefeller the
promises.
Mr.. Mack said that undoubtedly the
500, 900 900 fine of the Standard Oil COM
pany would be fixed up in the event
of Mr.. Taft's election as a part of the
bargain. Mr.. Mack said:
1.-THE Standard Oil company has land
ed where everybody knew 1t would
land. Mr.. Rockefeller held back for
a bargain and got what he wanted. .
His declaration for Taft is expected
to be good for at least 100000 votes
in the doubtful states, but will win
none at all-or at least should not.

amount the national Republican COM
mittee received from Mr.. Rockefeller,
but you can rest assured they both
received their price, Hitchcock getting

KERN SEVERELY ARRAIGNS
STEEL AND OIL MAGNATES

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 30.-John D.
Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie were
made the target for shafts of ridieule
by John w. Kern in a speech here
tonight.
"a precious pair of disinterested pa
triots," he called them, for their cnam-
pionship of the Republican presiden-
tial candidate.
Like good generals" he said, "the
Republican party leaders have been
holding the flower of their army in
reserve for the crucial moment when
the issue of battle is in doubt.
1.-THE old guard is now being rushed
to the firing line. The division headed
by Andrew Carnegie reached the front
yesterday. Today John D. Rockefeller
brings up his army corps"
Mr.. Kerns comments were called
forth by the publication of the state
ment by Rockefeller that he would
cats his vote for Taft, and were made
before one of the biggest audiences
he has addressed during the campaign
Mr.. Kern continued:
"People He PIundered
Carnegie makes an appeal to the
people, the very people whom he has
been plundering for more than a quar-
ter of a century, to stand with MIN
for Taft to the end that the plumber
ing may continue through the gener-
atoms of the future.
''What does Rockefeller say He de-
clares Mr. Taft has the proper tenn
permanent to suit him, and that from
Roclxefeller's standpoint he is entirely
fit to be president of the United states.
"'I am supporting Mr.. Taft because
his election will make for law and or
DER he says.
"Great Godi for law and order! John
D. Rockefeller. whose company was
the recipient of that great judicial prize
package, a $4,000 900 fine, few months
ago!
precious pair of disinterested patriots
are these two men who now, side by
side, charge to the front in behalf of
Taft and good government!
Significance Plain
'Is there nothing in this spectacle
to move you, my Republican brothers?
"You have heard the animadversfon
of Roosevelt up on Rockefeller as a
man who has broken more laws and
trampled upon the rights of the people
more than any other man In this coun-
try.
Carnegie and Rockefeller should ind
a. REASON for supporting the Repub-
lican candidate?
"sMy Dear Hartman had already
thrown his support to Taft before the
appearance of Rockefeller and Carne-
gle on the scene"
Mr.. Kern left the city at 1880 to-
night to be on hand for the opening
of his last day of campaigning in In
diana tomorrow at Princeton.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The follow

the White House tonight:
"At the White House the announce
ment of Mr.. Rockefeller through the
press agent of the Standard Oil COM
pany was regarded with some amuse-
ment in view of what the administra-
ton has done to the Standard Oil COM
pany and of the bitter hatred borne
by the Standard Oil company to the
administration.

CHICAGO, Oct 30.--In Chicago, where
the fight for the presidency is CEN
~ tered, there was much interest in
the interviews from John D. Rookie
Teller, the head of the Standard Oil,
and Andrew Carnegie. the practical
owner of the steel trust, favoring the
election of Judge Taft.
That the controlling spirits in the
two greatest trusts In the world should
openly advocate the election of the Re-
publican nominee for the presidency in
the closing days of campaign did not
create any surprise here.
1t has been known for several days
that the steel trust and Standard Oil,
the properties respectively owned by
Carnegie and Rockefeller, are the
largest contributors to the two million
dollar "slush' fund to be used by the
Republican party in New York, In
diana and Ohio for corrupt purposes

great corporations are furnishing the
money which is now being distributed
in the doubtful states of the country
especially in Ohio, Indiana and New
York--for the brazen purpose of buying
and debauching the peoples ballot at
the election on Tuesday.
Betrays Their Purpose
"Those interviews of Rockefeller and
Carnegie are notice to the wage earn
ers and business people of the country
that the trusts and combines are at
work and that they hope to win this
election by fair means or foul.
1T behooves every good citizen to
give his time to the cause of Democ-

thwart the nefarious purposes of Rookie
Teller and Carnegie.

flying direct from this place to Rheims,

He assembled at p. M, and after en-

Soaring over the tops of trees, the
