mas been conducted If the Republi-
can party were honest it would an
nounce that having made arrange
ments with the trust for the funds
70 finance the campaign and having
pledged the Republican party to pro-
tect the trusts from punishment. 1T
would release the rank and file of tho
Republican party from further sup
port of the Republican ticket.
The Republican party cannot
serve two masters. It's real master has
now stepned forth and asserted his
claim TO the party's services. No Re-
publican need be deceived any longer
the Republican organization to the
predatory interests of the country. 1t
will be noticed that this statement
comes out too late to be used by he
weekly newspapers circulated among
the masses but in time to be used
in the business centers to influence
those business men who look TO the
big financiers for advice"
Before taking UP another ques-
ton" he said, "r want TO say that
we have had another favor granted
us this morning. Mr.. Carnegie has
come out for Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Carnegie
holds the largest block of steel bonds
Of any man in the United States. He
comes out with Mr.. Rockefeller. And
1t was that steel trust that went to
the White House and got permission
from the president to absorb rival,
and the steel trust is to-day support
ing Mr.. Taft as II helped TO secure
his nomination,
CHAIRMAN MACk'S COMMENT
New York, oct. 20.-Charges Were
made today by Norman E. Mack. chair-
man of the Democratic National COM
mittee, that the declaration of john ID.
Rockefeller for TAFT for president was
the result of deal between the Re
publican national committee and the
Standard Oil interests whereby Ma
tional Chairman Hitchcock received
large campaign contributions, and Mr.
Rockefeller the promises. Nh, Mack
said that undoubtedly the $29,000,OoO
fine of the Standard Oil company
would be fixed up in the event of Mi.
Tafts election as part of the bar
gain. Mr.. Mack said:
The Standard Oil company has
landed where everybody knew it would
land. Mr.. Rockefeller held back for a
bargain and got what lie wanted. His
declaration for Taft is good for at least
100000 votes in the doubtful states I
cannot speculate on the exact amount
the Republican national committee re-
received from Mr.. Rockefeller but one
can rest assured that they both re-
ceived their price. Hitchcock getting
the money and Rockefeller the pro-
misses, which suggest the question
whether Taft is with Rockefeller or
with Roosevelt
I'VE now have an oil trust and the
steel trust lined up side by side work
ing for Mr.. Taft's candidacy. Mr..
Carnegie's statement yesterday OH his
arrival from Europe that the election
OF Mr.. Bryan would be a national
tragedy is not only shocking but
should arouse the Indignation of all
fair-minded citizens of the country re-
CARELESS Of party affliation Mr. Car
negle. I am reliably informed, is not
even voter in this country. Mr.. Car
negie has anlassed large fortune as
a result. in part at least. of Repubi :
can policies. special privileges and a
robber tariff, which Mr.. Bryan and
every true Democrat condemns as SO
odious and oppressive as TO demand
immediate reform. Hence the election
OF Mr.. Bryan is denounced by Mr..
Carnegie as q tragedy"
Chairman Mack declared that he had
learned that the Republican national
committee has campaign fund Of
5s3.00o.000 and that OF this sum. $4,000
600 was being used for the purpose OF
coercion and bribery The national
chairman said further that 100000 OF
the Republican campaign fund haG
been sent into Ohio.
