Significant Silence.

The Republican party is silent on the
question of publicity of campaign funds
Mr.. Taft says that the list of contribut-
ors will be announced after election. Just
now he desires to conceal the sources OF
the Republican "slush' fund.
There are several instances ON record
of the willingness of Republican manag-
ers to make public campaign contribu-
lions after election. One of these oc-
CURED during the insurance investiga-
tons in New York three years ago. The
question of the donation made by the
Equitable Life Assurance Society came
up in connection with q mysterious loan
Of $685., 900, made by the Mercantile
Trust Company to the Equitable.
Cornelius n. Bliss, who was treasurer
of the Republican national committee and
also trustee in the Equitable, was ask
ed this question, according to the report
published by the Chicago Record-Herald,
a Republican newspapers.
did you, as treasurer of the Repub-
lican national committee, accept or receive
a contribution of 100000 from the fund
of $685,0O0 which figures as a loan to
James W. Alexander and Thomas d. Jor-
dan, as trustees from the Mercantile
Trust Company, the existence of that loan
being known to you as director of the
Equitable Society?'
Mr.. Bliss answer was: Il absolutely
refuse to answer any such question. The
question is a decidedly improper one"
This was the willingness of the treas
urer of the Republican national commit
tee to make public the source of the par
tvs contribution, nearly year after the
election. Subsequent investigation re-
vealed the fact that not only the Equit-
able, but the Mutual, the New York Life
and other big insurance companies had
contributed tens of thousands of dollars
of their policy holders money to the Re
publican campaign fund.
The $260,O0O fund which Hartman
raised was not made public until two and
a half years after the election and then
through no voluntary action on the part
Of either Mr.. Hartman or Mr.. Roosevelt
The Record-Herald's publication is an
interesting chapter upon the question of
the willingness of Republican managers
to publish campaign contributions, even
after election.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1908-10-30
Like Bacon,

Mr.. Taft's plea, that his party can re-
ceive large contributions from the inter
ests to be benefited without being obi
ligated to them or influenced by them,
recalls the plea which Francis Bacon
made when impeached before the House
of Lords for taking brides. He said
that while he had taken them, they had
never influenced his judgment, but he was
removed in disgrace. 1t is a pity he did
not know of the modern method by which
one protects himself from influence, while
at the same time getting the benefit of
the contributions by merely saying that
it is distinctly understood by the giver
that the receiver will not be influenced by
the gift.
But men are usually influenced by their
benefactors. And this recalls the story
of discussion that was going on at Lin
coin several years ago while the Legisla-
ture was in session. A number of legis-
lators, lobbyists and newspaper men were
seated in a hotel office discussing the
question, what is an honest MANI" AT
ter several opinions had been expressed
some one asked Herman Timme, a Doug
las county member, to give an answer.
Herman replied: well, l tink an honest
man is one who will stay bought"
The great corporations finance the Re-
publican party's campaign and they will
control the Republican officials whom they
elect.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 13.-To the Edi-
tor of The Commoner: In his western
crusade Gov. G. e. Hughes of New York
INDUCED in hilarious ridicule everywhere
he spoke of that plank in the Denver
Platform providing that legislation should
be enacted to prevent any corporation
or combination in the form of trust from
controlling more than fifty per cent of the
output of any manufactured product. He
held up his hands in assumed horror over
the fact, as contended by him, that this
would deprive many thousands of work
in the industries where they had been
trained and turn them out on society with
out the means of making a living. The
reading public is familiar with his bois-
ferrous argument but | have seen no.
where, either in speeches or in the cur
rent publications, any allusion to the
Governors amazing personal inconsistent
cy. 1t was he who prepared and used
every power of his Office to enact into
law the New York insurance statute pro-
viding that no life insurance company,
however great it's accumulations or how
ever large it's plan or however many with
their families might be dependent there
on for a livelihood. should be allowed to
write more than one hundred and fifty
millions of risks in any one year. 1t may
have an acquired capacity to write three
times that amount, but it must stop and
turn out to grass two-thirds of its en-
ployes and dependencies. The parable
is perfect and might be commented on
at length with profit as a test of the
Governors sincerity. G. S. COLLINS.

William Nelson Cromwell. the legal
representative of e. H. Hartman and
the Wall street lawyer who engineered
the Panama deal, was the first big con-
tributor to the Republican campaign fund.
He gave $4,000 to the Republican ma
tional campaign slush fund. Now it is
announced that Andrew Carnegie, head of
the steel trust, has made 81 donation of
$4,000 towards financing the election Of
Judge Taft. These are the two contribu~
lions from trust sources that have reach
ed the public, and indicate very clearly
on which side the trust interests are ar
rayed in this campaign.
