John Behrens, q deputy sheriff do
ing duty In Judge Mandelfs room,
and one Of the best known Republi.
cans in the city, was notified by
Sheriff Burns, Tuesday morning. that

Deputy Sheriff Cunningham. Behrens
says. because he refused to contribute
TO the campaign expenses OF Mr.. Cum
ningham or Henry Hastings, defeated
Democrat candidate for county clerk.
Behrens has always been Repub-
lican. and at the last election was q
candidate for the legislature, but was
defeated. He and Sheriff Burns are
personal friends. and he worked for
Burns election.
AS soon as Behrens learned that he
had been let out, he sent the follow
ing letter to the sheriff:

Campaign
Comment.
Emphasizing the Contrast.


That Haskell may be eliminated from
the campaign makes little difference
now. The harm to Mr.. Bryan has been
done. Mr.. Bryan chose him for his
councillor in chief, and sharply called
the President to account for daring to
reflect upon the Democratic treasurer
while Mr.. Kern. the candidate for Vice
President, has openly defended Haskell.
1t is this public display of his inability
to Judge of men that will reflect upon
Mr.. Bryan. for it bears out in striking
manner the Republican argument that
Mr.. Bryan is not fitted to rule because
he is a man of theory and of inexperi-
ence in public affairs.
For twelve years Mr.. Bryan has been
evolving theory after theory. He has
lived long enough to see his pet
schemes utterly destroyed schemes.
like that Of the free coinage
of silver. that would have plunged the
Nation into. positive disaster had they
been enacted into law. Now he adds
to his impossible theories a positive
proof that he cannot be trusted to
summon proper men to his council
chamber.
On the other hand Mr.. Taft. not
only as Secretary Of War. but in his
career in the Philippines. in Cuba and
as the responsible head of the vast
work of the construction of the
Panama Canal. has never made a mis-
take. His executive ability is con-
ceeded; his judgment Of men is with
cut flaw. No one ever entered upon
Presidential campaign with such an
accurate knowledge Of government and
with such grasp upon every possible
question that might arise as Taft.
When Bryan is compared with Taft
why. there can be no comparison. TO
compare theory and inexperience with
practical administration and expert
ence is impossible. We think that the
country is beginning to discover the
difference between the two candidates.
and that is all that will, be necessary.

A Scheme Fooled.


The exposure of the connection be-
tween Governor Haskell of Oklahoma,
the Democratic campaign treasurer,
and the standard Oil, foils a purpose,
now clear from the opening of the
Presidential campaign.
The standard Oil Trust has more at
stake in this campaign than any other
corporation. 1t has been harder hit by
the courts. Built up on railroad re-
bates. direct and indirect, open and
concealed, equal and just railroad rates
challenge all its methods. For thirty
years, in this and other states, 1t has
followed A systematic policy Of expend-
ing money to aid this party or that,
this candidate or the ether, as an IN
vestment
Judge Taft's nomination ended any
hore of this policy and practice in the
Republican party. The Republican
candidate could neither be bought nor
bullied. caught nor cozened, duped nor
deceived Every known Standard Oil
man in the Republican party had
fought his nomination to the end. and
there was no hope in his admniStra :
ton tut just a relentless enforcement
of the laws.
Mr. Bryan was the only hope. No
one Of his wild schemes could injure an
astutc and well-managed trust Deal
ing in a necessity of life, hard times
have no fears for the Standard OIL. In
anv case corporate managers generally
believe Mr.. Bryan could accomplish
little if he were President. He would
talk. He has never shown he could
act. and he has neither the experience
nor equipment needed to trouble
trusts.
TO approach Mr.. Bryan directly
was not necessary. 1t was safer to sur
round him with men who Wer" already
under obligation to the trusts. and par
ticularly to the STANDARD Oil Trust.
Mi. Bryan could talk. He could act
tho sounding question: "Shall the pco-
pie rule?'
Governor Haskell could be trusted to
answer this interogatpry in the mega
five if he were treasurer of the Nation
al Democratic Committee. Receiving
contributions from those interested in
old abuses. he could commit Mr.. Bryan
and his party and Mr. Bryan was
wisely willing to have a man like Gov
ernor Haskell in this position able I"
clio this.
This scheme has failed. 1t has
proved impossible to conceal Governor
Haskells relations in the past and now
with the standard Oil Trust. and with
this rev alation neither Mr.. Bryan nor
Governor Haskell can play their re
spectivc parts in this plan of having
Mr. Bryan ask. "Shall the people rule?
and having Governor Haskell arrange
that the corporations should.
