wnen they were charged rs cents D0F
dinner while they waited for the an
pearance of the candidate. When he
did come before them he talked about
larger navy, stronger army and
coast defences, something in which
they had little interest, while he ig-
pored the live issues of tariff revision,
injunctions, guarantee Of bank depos-
its, publicity of campaign funds, and
other questions about which they de-
sired to hear his views. The result
was that Mr.. Taft's speech was re-
ceived with inattention and lack Of
anything which approached enthusi-
asm. Impartial newspaper correspon-
dents report that the meeting was
not success. Mr.. Bryan is outdraw-
ing Judge Taft by to 1.
Senator Crane Trust Ally.
The appearance Of Senator w. Muir
ray Crane, of Massachusetts,, upon
the Republican scene as chief "ad-
visor" of Chairman Hitchcock in the
management of Mr.. Taft's campaign,
is regarded as further unmistakable
evidence of the alliance of the Re-
publican party with the trust interests
for the election of Taft Senator
Crane may not be very well known by
the farmers and laboring men of the
west, but he has very extensive and
intimate acquaintance in Wall street
and with the trust protected interests
of the east He belongs to that little
coterie Of men who rule the United
States senate. He Is the principal adj
visor of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich, of
Rhode Island, who stands at the head
of the Standard Oil list of senators.
Senator Crane is second in command.
The failure of Chairman Hitch
cocks campaign for Taft made it
necessary for the Republicans to form
closer relationship with the trusts
in order to procure funds with which
to carry on their propaganda No
man is better suited to do the cement
ing than is Senator Crane. He is a
Republican of high standing and is a
trust magnate His interests lie with
those who are monopolists and with
the trusts.

center of the working mems district
had been refused. The inference Is
plain that the Republican managers
feared to have their candidate appear
in a distinctively laboring district
where all who would might come and
hear, lest the great welcome planned
for might be turned into a demonstra-
ton for his political opponent, or that
Mr.. Taft might be asked embarrassing
questions.
Stamping Falls Flat.
The fact of the matter is that Mr.
Taft's stumping experiment has fallen
fiat; he has produced absolutely no
enthusiasm among the voters. and he
has said or done nothing which will
improve his chances. Republicans are
unable to conceal their feelings of dis
appointment over the poor showing
which their candidate has made. Mr..
Taft's progress thus far, and the man
ner in which he has been received is
complete vindieation of those Repub-
lican leaders who from the first op-
posed the plan of having him take to
the rear platform. They advocated a
front porch campaign wherein the can
didate should be kept in the back
ground, and others allowed to make
his canvass upon Roosevelts record.
The advocates Of a stumping cam
paign prevailed, however. and now
they are sorry 1t was ever begun.
Elegance VS.. Simplicity.
The contrast between the Demo
cratic simplicity with which Mr. Bryan
has travelled and the elegance of the
Taft accommodations on rail, is as
marked as the contrast between the
size and enthusiasm of the audiences
which have greeted the Democratic
candidate, and those which Mr.. Taft
has addressed. While one great New
York newspaper which is supporting
Mr.. Taft and which maintains a press
association service has refused to
have correspondent with Mr.. Bryan,
ample accommodations are afforded
aboard the Taft special for the special
correspondents of all the large papers.
In addition, for the first time in the
history of any campaign, Mr.. Taft is
carrying with him three press agents
paid by the national committee for the
purpose of influencing public opinion.
Hired Press Agents.
Notwithstanding all this, the reports
come from all along the line that Mr..
Taft's receptions have been remark
ably chilly, and that the audience have
been Indifferent to his speeches and
involved explanations of his attitude
upon public questions. At George
AIDES Indiana farm a large crowd was
gathered because harvest festival
had been advertised. The people ex.
pected a free feast from the "full

letter was offered to the New YORK
Herald and to the New York World,
but they refused to touch it. The
New York Times has good motto
"All the news that's fit to print. 1T
would do well to add-"no fake stor-
les printed that other journals refuse"
Those Republicans who have been
spending money derived from trusts
to circulate the fraudulent Cleveland
letter must, if honest, spend as much
money to circulate pamphlets saying
that the letter they circulated was a
clumsy fraud"
Post Card System.
When Mr.. Taft learned that the
mountain would not come to Mahomet,
he decided that Mahomet must go to
the mountain. When he found that
the people would not come to him and
listen to his speeches from the golf
links at Hot Springs and from the
front porch of Brother Charles pala-
tial residence in Cincinnati, he deter
mined to go out among the people.
Apparently, however, there is grave
fear among the Republican leaders
that their candidate will not be gladly
received by the people. In order to
overcome this difficulty and in an eff
fort to bring out crowd to greet Mr..
Taft, the Chicago managers have
found it necessary to send out postal
card notices to the faithful, begging

ceived the following notice from Fred

can party's candidate for president

1t was pleasing to gaze upon the ladies

Let us remind the Sentinel that at

Why do some people try to belittle

1t is proposed that purchasers of
Japanese yarn i'll the Chinese port
shall be entitled to tickets, according
to the amount of their purchase, the
possession of which will enable them
to participate in lottery for money
prizes. A protest having been made
by the Shanghai Consular body against
