sherman will say, me. too
Hitchcock looks wise and smiles
George Rumsey Sheldon declares:
Il have always been In favor Of pub
lefty"
We know il must be all true. fol
after Mr.. Taft had ordered and the
committee had elected Hitchcock for
chairman, and Sheldon for treasurer,
Mr.. Taft and the committee seemed
rather doubtful how Mr. Sheldon. the
banker Of No. Wall Street, New
York, would be regarded by the vot-
ers, SO the following certificate Of
character and promise Of publicity
was given out officially:
"MY. Sheldon Is selected on the
recommendation Of Cornelius N.
Bliss. He is president Of the Union
League Club OF New York, was the
treasurer OF the Republican State
Committee during the campaign OF
Mr.. Hughes for Governor Of New
York, and rendered complete state
ment under the publicity law Of that
State Of the receipts and expendi-
lures OF the campaign.
This was one Of the reasons that
induced his selection, as the law OF
New York regarding publicity viii
apply to his action as treasurer Of the
National Committee"
What the other reasons" we're that
induced Candidate Taft and the com.
mittee TO select MIR. Sheldon as treas
urer OF the Republican National Com
mittee can be judged when we inspect
the list Of trusts and corporations Of
which, according to the Directory Of
Directors" he is actively connected
with.
Mr.. sheldon Is director in the fol-
lowing trusts and corporations:
American Locomotive Company,
American Locomotive Automobile
Company.
bethlehem Steel Corporation,
Cincinnati Northern Railroad Com
pany.
Detroit Edison Company,
Electrical Securities Corporation,
Laclede GaslIght Company,
Locomotive and Machine Company
OF Montreal Climited).
Locomotive Security Company,
Metropolitan Trust Company.
Milwaukee Electrical Railway and
Light Company.
Milwaukee Light. Heat and Trac-
ton Company.
National Copper Bank,
New Jersey Terminal. Dock and
Improvement Company,
North American Company,
Republican steel and Iron Company
OF New Jersey.
Rogers Locomotive Works.
81, Louis Transit Company.
Union Bag and Paper Company OF
New Jersey,
Union Electric Light and Power
Company.
Union Electric Light, Heat and
Power Company OF 81. Louis.
That Candidate Taft dotes on pub
licity as matter OF policy Is. OF
course, natural; that Hitchcock will
publish every evening what he has re.
eeived and expended Is doubtful. but
that sheldon viii not rest any night
during the campaign until he has
given 20 the newspapers Just how
much Rockefeller, Morgan. Hartman
and the other malefactors Of great
wealth. and the trusts and corpora,
ton magnates have paid and the
amount and 10 whom he has distriba.
