FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL OF

CLOUD FROM Haskell.
DENIES EXONERATING HIM.
Bryan's Treasurer Repudiated by One
Whom He Declared Had Removed
Charge Against Him.
BRYAN NOW AFTER THE FACTS

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 23.-"If l
charged Gov. Charles n. Haskell wrong
fully, it was because Charles B. Squire
gave me his name"
Frank S. Monnett former attorney
general of Ohio, today made this state
ment on the private car of William J.
Bryan, en- route from Prospect to Co
lumbus. Mr.. MOnnett declared, however
that he could not exonerate Gov. Has
kell from the charges that had been
made that he was party to the $500,
bride fund of the Standard Oil company
per could he condemn him.
"All that l have against Gov. Has
ken," he SAID, lis hearsay evidence and
| have suggested that if the case were
presented to a grand jury it would be
shown whether Gov. Haskell has been
wrongfully accused"
Mr.. MOnnett denied that he had made
speeches in Oklahoma, generating Gov.
Haskell, but that in fairness to the gov
ernor he had stated the facts as they
had come to him, and said that if the
charges were proved he would return to
Oklahoma at his own expense and de-
nOunce him.
Mr.. Monnett boarded the train. at
Prospect and at once conferred with Mr..
Bryan, who said he wanted to learn the
facts III the case.

Political Notes.

The Republican party is greater thar
any man, a distinct contrast to the
Democratic party, which has but one
leader and he its master.-Hon. Jane:
S. Sherman.
1t is announced that Mrs. Tennessee
Claf1in Cook is coming all the way
across the ocean for the purpose OF
helping to elect Bryan. She is a deter
mined woman, and Mr.. Bryan probably
will be unable to stop her.-Chicagc
Tribune.
Ex-Secretary Carlisle denies a ru
NOR that he had declared for Bryan
but refuses to say more. This is about
as much as has ever been known Of
his political position since leaving the
Cleveland cabinet.-New York Times
David B. Hill declines to enter the
campaign for Bryan on account of hi:
poor health. Mr. Hills health has al
ways been one of his best and most
convenient assets when Bryan is run

Senator Foraker refuses to lend aid
or comfort to the enemy.-Omaha Bee

LINER CLEVELAND LAUNCHED.
Sister Ship of Cincinnati Takes Water
in Hamburg Yards.

HAMBURG, Sept. 23.-At the ship
yard of Blohm & Voss, the S. S. ''Cleve-
land" the latest ocean leviathan of the
Hamburg American line was launched
today. Countess Won Goetzen, the Amer
lean wife of the Prussian Minister, at
Hamburg, christened the vessel in the
name of the illustrious American city
whose name the vessel bears, as trib-
ute to her citizens spirit of friendship
A large and notable gathering was pres
ent at the ceremonies attending the
launching. The lord mayor of Hamburg
DR.. Oswald, made the speech of the day
He was followed by several other speak
ers of note. His Majesty, the German
Emperor, demonstrated his interest in
the affair by sending a personal repre-
sentative. The S. S. ''Cleveland'' is
sister-ship of the Cincinnati which was
launched in July. These vessels of about
$4,000 tons are destined for the service
between New York, England and the
Continent, which they will enter in the
spring of 1909. They combine in the
very highest sense the latest achieve
mentS in marine construction; their pas
senger appointments are superb, being
fitted with every appurtenance and con-
venience that has been conceded to be Of
practical value.
Countess Won GOetZen, who broke the
bottle of champagne on the bows of the
vessel as she started down the ways, was
formerly Miss May Loney of Washing
ton. D. c.. where she is still we'll known
Her marriage to Count Won Goetzen took
place several years ago.

HOW COULD BRYAN HELP?
His Prescriptions For Business
Shown to Be Intellectual

(From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.)
We hear of worl1ingmen saying
that this time they intend to vote
for Mr.. Bryan, because for the past
ten months we have had hard times.
But what good will that do? How is
a tariff for revenue, ignoring the pro-
lection plea altogether, going 20 open
the shops and mills? How will the
election Of Senators by direct vote
start the wheels Of Industry Or
the publication Of campaign cont1i-
buttons? Or the further harassment
of the railroads? Or the reorganiza-
ton of the House, so that the Speaker
may be powerless? Why open this
country now to the markets of the
world when we have not sufficient de-
mand to consume what we ourselves
manufacture?
Weekly Watertown leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1908-1909, 1908-09-25

for a considerable period, engaged in
such enforcement, with marked eff
cheney and success. 1t proposes for the
presidency j candidate who declares
his purpose to continue and complete
that enforcement Of the law, and whose
competency to do 50 with success has
been proved. Mr.. Bryan does not be-
lieve in the regulation Of railroads. He
does not believe it practicable. He re-
CARDS it as bound to fail, although he
is willing to criticise the Republican
party for not accomplishing that vast
and complicated task all at once.
at is natural to observe that, if the
people of the country desire railroads
to be regulated, and the laws regard
ing them to be enforced, it would be
wise to entrust that regulation to Mr..
Taft who believes in regulation, and
has faith in the wisdom and effective
ness Of the law, rather than in the
hands Of one who believes that all eff
fort to regulate must prove futile.

Labor and Capital United

Anything that makes capital idle, or
which reduces or destroys it, must re-
duce both wages and the opportunity
to earn wages. 1t only requires the
effects Of par ic through which we are
passing, or through which we passed in
1898 or 1878, to show how closely unit
ed in a common interest we all are in
modern society. We are in the same
boat, and financial and business storms
which affect one are certain to affect
all others.-Hon. VIM. H. Taft, before
the Cooper Union, New York City
