Mr.. Watterson' q article on the DO.

and comprehensive. We said in an
editorial June 81. 1905
This year the members Of the
special privileges party protesting to

Taft will be discredited In advance
bY the public knowledge OF their ms,
ISOLATION with the special privileges
party. This applies also to the reac.
tionaty newspapers in this year s
campaign. The public knowledge
that they are owned or controlled by
the special privileges party robs
them of all their influence through
the public knowledge that 1t is simply
the dollars and not principles that
speaks through their columns. -
Mr.. Watterson certainly must upon
reflection realize that newspapers
owned or co trolled by Messrs Ochs
or Mclean would support the reac.
tionaty candidates Taft and Sherman
for perfectly obvious reasons. The
Baltimore Sun is another case In
point. This latter newspaper never
had any intention OF supporting Mr..
Bryan. This was evidenced In It's
attempt to have the democratic part,
share with the republican party In
the onus OF the merge plank in the
Chicago platform. The insincerity OF
the Baltimore sun was proven by It's
tinal declaration for Taft The Sun

the demcratic party pledging Itself
TO give the negro voters pledges &C
appoint them TO federal Offices. The
republican candidates and the repub,
Iican platform give pledges TO the
nergo voter The democratic plat.
form is silent on the negro question
and very properly so, and Candidate
Bryan stands on the platform. The
Sun, on reading over Bryan's speech

declaring for Taft, the pro-negro can.
