How the Republican Vice President tiaI
 Candidate Looked After Them.
 Chicago. Oct. 21-Although William Randolph Hearst, who Is acting in the interests of the Republican Party for the election of it's candidates, has not read any letters revealing tho connect ion which James S. Sherman is said to have with the Standard oil Conn pany, MT. Sherman's service for that gigantic trust is plainly chown by his attitude upo. the railroad rate bill passed by Congress two years ago. Mir
 sherman in the interests of Standard oil. was the man v-Ao led the fight for the exemption of pipe lines as com mon carriers By his efforts he sue ceeded in holding up both Houses of Congress and the conferees upon the bill until he had eXacted an amend ment which eliminated the Standard Oil from the operation of the measure.
 The Senate agreed to an amendment to the rate bill making it unlawful for any common carrier 10 transport any commodity produced by itself, lumber and its products being excepted. When the measure went into conference, Mir. Sherman was one of the conferees on the part of the House. and led the fight to change the words common carrier" which meant pipe Ines as we'll as rail- roads. to railroad company" He readily sa--. as a representative of thA Standard oil interests. that to make all common carriers amenable to the law would be a serious blow to the Stand ard oil Company which transports its products in its own pipe lines and re- fuses 10 accept the product of inde- pendent companies for transportation.

 To change the words "common car rIer" in the Senate amendment 10 "raiIroad company" would protect the Standard OH. T. Sherman, in charge of the bill cl behalf of the House made an uncompromising fight for this demand of the Standard oil. So insist ent was he that Senator Tillman, Who had charge of the bill in Senate. re- fused to sign the conference report, al- though in order that the bill might pass with :ts many favorable features MT. Tillman was obliged to accept ths hill after exposing in the Senate the Standard oil provision. MT. TfllmaD called attention to the fact that the change which . r. Sherman, so viz orousiy fought for. was in the interest of inc Standard oil Company, and that that concern, hiding behind many so- called Independent oil companies which if in fact controlled. was the source of the demand for the elimination ok nine lines as common carriers
 So skiIlful was Mir. Shermans manlp- ulation of the Standard oil provision that both House and Senate were forced to accept it in order that the. raiiro0o rate bill might pass. s...,.
 The entire matter is fully set iorth in The Congressional Record and plain iv shows the victory which MT; SheF- man gained for the Standard OlI Co"'- panY.
