",The republicans of the country not with Taft

not the choice of very many of the delegates They
feel that Roosevelt has been guilty of just as serious
a breach in forcing Taft's nomination as he would
have been had he forced his own. They will not
stand for the establishment of dynasty by Roose-

to drive them from the party, it is for his 1ordship

After Election Publicity.

One of the peculiarities of the New York laws
under which the republican national committee will
make public its campaign contributions it that it
provides for publicity after the election.
Under the democratic platform resolution that
governs the democratic committee all the contribu-
tons to be made public before the election the
last installment being published three days before
that event.
On the republican side the effect of publicity will
be postponed four years and will then do no good
for the transactions will be forgotten before that
time
The republican convention refused to have any,
thing to do with the publicity of campaign funds the
idea being cassed by the conscientious Chairman
Hopkins among the socia1istic things against which
his soul revolted
But the wisdom that came to Mr. Taft after the
democratic convention had declared itself was SUI
per1or to the wisdom of the convention that nomi-
mated him and he insisted upon the adoption of
another democratic principle and arranged for it by
locating the committee treasurer under the iurisdic
ton of the New York law
1t now appears that the New York law protects
the finances of the republican committee from ex-
posture until after the event that exposure was de-
signed to influence
Mr. Taft can still follow the full democratic plan
II he chooses, for the democratic committee will
adopt publicity unhampered by the provisions of any
statutory enactment
