Mr.. Herbert Knox Smith. whose zeal in the
o. economic has been in wise abated by the
panic which he and his kind did 50 much to bring
is out with answer to President Moffett, OF the
Standard Oil Company Of Indiana. The publication
of this answer. it is officially given out de-
layed several weeks, FOR business reasons be
it not deemed advisable to further excite
the public mind. which profoundly disturbed
by the crisis. Now that the storm clouds have rolled
by however. the Commissioner rusfes again into the
fray.
Our readers remember that the chief points in the
defence OF the Standard Oil Company as presented
by President Moffett We're % that the rate of SIX
cents oil from Whiting to East st. Louis has
been issued to the Standard oil Company as the
lawful rate by employees the Alton. 81 that the
1s-cent rate file with the Interstate Commerce
Commission a class and commodity rate
being intended apply to oil. G') that oil was
shipped in large quantities between Whiting and
East st. Louis over the Chicago and Eastern Iii
nois six and one-fourth cents per hundred
pounds which has been filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission the lawful rate. and ca
that the 1scent rate oil was entirely out Of pro-
portion to lawful other commodities be
tween these points of similar character. and OF
greater value. such for example. linseed OIL the
lawful rate on which eight cents. President
Moffett also stated that thousands Of tons of freight
had been sent by other shippers between these
points under substantially the same conditions as
governed the shipments Of the Standard Oil Com
pany.
This defence o. the Standard Oil Company was
widely quoted and has undoubtedly eNerted pow
erfu influence upon the public mind. Naturally the

campaign the trusts the result Of lis

ELECTION ON THE ISTHMUS.

THE commissioners representing the
United States kept watch on the bal
loting at each of the polling stations"
ing the result of the election on the
isthmus. Senior Obaldia. the Taft
Roosevelt candidate for president. re-
ceived all the votes cast, the opposition
declining to appear at the polls under
the watchful eyes of American spies,
who were for the other fellow.
The peace. calling and election of
Obaldia was probably made sure dur
ing the recent visit of Mr.. Taft TO the
isthmus, when the great war secre-
tary" made his final trip before the
hustle for the presidency at home be-
gan, and he had remarkable success
in stirling all opposition, the poor dew

CLEAR SAILING FOR sPRY.

The announcement of Governor John
C. Cutler that he has reconsldered MS
determination to be a candidate for re-
nomination is something of surprise
and most certainly disappointment TO
his friends. 1t is a surprise because
he had asked support for another term
in office less than month ago, ana
announced his program in case of cleo
tion with an elaborateness that showed
he expected to get the nomination and
be elected.
Ostensibly the governors retirement
is due to a sense of obligation to VIII
liam Spry. who has entered the race,
for Spry's active help in the prelimin-
ary campaign which made Cutler the
candidate four years ago. The real rea-
son. however. is probably the fact that
no Republican can hope TO be a sue
cessfuI aspirant for office without the
support of the Smoot machine. which
has chosen Spry for the candidate this
wear. Governor Cutler knows enough
about the power of the machine to rea-
lie that he would be beaten If he
ventured TO compete with Spry; and,
like the cautious man of business he
is. prefers to jump off rather than be
pushed off in the convention.
With the governors voluntary with
drawal, the field is left clear for the
machine candidate. One or two Others
have been mentioned for the place by
their loving friends. and SVEN o, Nell
sen has even been heard to say he
would like to make the race, but no one
takes them seriously. Spry has been
set apart for the nomination, and nC
Republican with gumption enough te
sign checks is going to waste his money
trying to beat the machine at its OWE
game.
In this, as in all the other affair:
of the Republican party of Utah. tbs
nominations will be determined by the
federal office-holders who are running
things, and no one else need apply. Ii
quitting thus early Governor Cutler Il
only recognizing the inevitable an'
demonstrating anew his ability to know
when he has had enough of a gooC
thing.

IN LINE FOR BRYAN.

Herman Ridder. president of the
American Newspaper Publishers asso-
citation and owner of the New York
Stats Zeitung, has promised Mr..
Bryan his support in this campaign.
The announcement is important, not
only because Mr.. Ridder is an influen-
tial citizen welding great political
power through his newspaper, but also
because il is an index of the trend
among those conservative eastern Dem
ocrats who have stood aloof in Mr.
Bryan's former campaigns, when they
did not oppose him outright.
In his effort TO secure the removal
Of the duty on news paper and wood
pulp, Mr.. Ridder discovered that the
Republicans in congress were irrevo-
cably committed to further the fortunes
of the paper trust by retention of the
duty on its product. Even when he
had secured the written promise of
he found himself unable to secure ac-
ton, because Speaker Cannon and the
committee on rules would not permit
a bill for the purpose to come before
the house. And the report of the Mann
special committee. which secured a
postponement of action at the session
Just closed. only served to convince the
German editor that the Republican
party would do nothing to reform the
evils of such mOnopolies as are made
possible by an unjust tariff law.
II is only natural that Mr.. Riddel
should throw his influence into the cam
paign on behalf of Bryan and the Dem
ocratic party after such an object les
son. Himself victim of trust extor'
ton due TO the tariff. he is deterrsineC
10 do what can be done TO secure jus
tice: and he will be able 10 carry with
him a very heavy percentage of th'
substantial element among the Ger
man-American voters OF the country.
The report of the affair. says that Mr.
Bryan made no comment on Mr.. Rid
der's telegram-g1ving in his allegiance
but that. the Nebraskan was visibi,
pleased. he has good reason TO b.
pleased
For the first time in his politica
career DIR, Bryan finds united part!
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-07-14

in sympathy with him. In 1896 the de-
sertion of the Cleveland Democrats
made his defeat certain weeks in ad-
vance of the election; in 1900 the old
breach still remained. In 1904 his own
followers were unwilling TO enter en-
Enthusiastically into the campaign, for
Judge Parker, whose nomination hao
fused TO support the Lincoln man. This
year. however, the warning elements
in the party have found common ground
in the platform and have buried their
animosities in allegiance to the party.
Much of this better spirit is due to
the attitude of Mr.. Bryan himself, who
has used his potent influence TO secure
harmony and has succeeded beyond ex-
pectation. In the fight for restoration
Of government to the people, he has
the support of those who have been
with him since his first entrance
into party leadership as a matter of
course; and, IN addition, he has the
conservatives who held aloof until they
found that a Roosevelt in office was
more radical and dangerous than any
candidate the democracy has under
consideration.
The reaction from Rooseveltism Il
sanity has done the democracy sigma
service in restoring to the partv mer
like Herman Rider. who desire above
all things exact justice and observance
of constitutional methods in govern
ment
