You certainly pay more attention to
the mote than to the beam when you find
fault with our national campaign fund
in 1885, and ignore the significance of a
fund almost as large. which, at your
request. was collected from a few per-
sons In 1894. and was used in one state.
and was only small item in the fund
collected that year. But. Your letter
presents defense of your party's position
and an accusation against the voters
which emphasize an issue already prom
inent.
you are the first conspicuous member
OF your party to attempt an explanation
of the party's opposition to publicity be-
fore the election, and the admission
which you make will embarrass your
party associates. Your position is that
the publication before election of the con-
tributions made to your campaign fund
would furnish your political opponents an
opportunity to give a false impression
as to the fitness of the candidates. You
cite as illustrations the contributions
made to Gov. Hughes campaign fund
the contribution collected by Mr.. Harri-
man and the contributions which are now
being collected for Mr.. Tafts campaign
fund. You charge, in effect. that the peo-
pie are so lacking in intelligence thai
they might condemn as improper contribu-
lions which You declare to be proper.
How About the Votersp
'If the voters differ from you on this
question. are they necessarily ignorant
and wrong? Must the members of the
party organization act as self-appointeC
guardians of the people and conceal from
them what is going .on, lest the people be
misled as to the purpose and effect OF
large contributions?
rs this your explanation of the action
of the republican leaders in the national
convention In voting down publicity
plank? If you will pardon the sugges-
ton. 1 believe that better explanation
can be found in Holy Writ. for do we
not read of men loving darkness rather
than light, because their deeds are evil?
You attempt to make a personal ques-
ton of 1t and ask whether any one will
accuse such men as you. Gov. Hughes
and Mr.. Taft of being Influenced by con-
tributions. That is not the question. II
it is found that party to a suit has
given a sum of money to one of the
jurors. the court does not stop to inquire
whether or not the juror is an incor-
ruptible man or whether in accepting the
money he explicitly stated that it was
accepted with the understanding that he
was under no obligation to consider it in
making up his verdict. The court would
hold that the giving of money by an in.
terested party or the receiving of money
was a contempt of court and an inter
ference with the administration of justice

hand and the people on the other. and
there is a very general impression that
officials Of these favor-seeking corpora
tions do not put up large sums of money
from purely patriotic motives. Mr..
Havemeyer testified before a Senate COM
mittee some years ago that the sugar
trust made it business to contribute
to campaign funds, and that it was its
custom to give to the party in power in
the state.
Il do not mean to say that Mr.. Hughes
was Influenced by the contributions made
to him by the trust magnates whose
names were given in the after-election
report l do not mean to say that you
were Influenced by the contributions col
ected by Mr.. Hartman. neither do l
mean to say that Mr.. Taft will be influ-
enced by the contributions that are being
made to his fund by the trust magnateS
but / do mean to say that the American
people have right to know what con-
tributions are being made, that they may
Judge for themselves the motive of the
giverS and the obligation imposed upon
those who receive.
THE reflection upon the people in
yolved in your charge. that they would
misuse the knowledge which publicity
would give. IS unworthy of one who has
been elevated to SO high an Office by the
votes of the people. and l venture, for
assertion, that you cannot procure from
Mr.. Taft Endorsement of your defense.
Thinks Taft Is Afraid.
"He is now before the people: he is Of
fering himself as a candidate for the
presidency; he dare not tell the people to
whom he appeals that they have not
sense enough to form just and correct
opinion as to the purpose which leads par
ties interested in special legislation to
make big contributions. You fear that
we would misrepresent the motives of
those who are contributing to the repub-
lican campaign fund. and cast unjust
suspicion upon republican candidates. if
the names and amounts We're made known
before the election.
Your argument. if sound. would pre-
vent publication after election. for why
should an unjust suspicion be cast upon
before. Does rot the secrecy before the
election increase this suspicion?
Here's the Opportunity!
Eve are going to give you an opportu-
nifty to misrepresent the motives of those
who give to our campaign fund. and 10
going to prove to the people that we
are making a fight for the whole people,
and not for those who have been enjoying
government and we expect that the hon.
est sentiment of the country will rebuke
the party whose convention refused to in
dorse any kind of publicity, and whose
candidates are not willing that the people
should know until after the polls are
closed what predatory interests have been
active in support of the republican party.
With great respect, etc, yours truly.

TAFT AMONG COWBOYS
Under the personal direction OF Seth
Bullock, President Roosevelt's Deadwood
friend, Candidate Taft Travelled through
South Dakota yesterday, making speeches
to the cowboys and other citizens of the
state. He followed practically the same
route travelled by Candidate Bryan the
day before. Senators Gamble and Kit
tredge, representing rival state factions,
met Mr.. Taft and assured him of their
support
In his speeches Mr. Taft promised the
people of South Dakota a lower tariff.
BRYAN IN IOWA
An echo of the Haskell charges was
heard in Boone, Iowa, when Mr.. Bryan
addressed a big crowd at the station. He
had been hammering away at Mr.. Taft
and the republican platform. and when
he touched upon his charge that Pres
ident Roosevelt had not put trust mag
nate in the penitentiary, man shouted
to him:
where does Haskell come in?''
Taking notice of the remark, Mr.. Bryan
angrily replied:
well, sir, you have enough in your own
party. Why don't you attend to your own
linen?'
The crowd shouted and the man was
silenced.
Previous to this episode the democratic
candidate brought cheers when he stated
| that he had been getting good reports
from Iowa.
ARCHBOLD CRIES THIEF
A new phase of the discussion of the
so-called STANDARD OIL correspondence"
| made public recently by William r.
Hearst was entered upon when John D.
Archbold. vice president of the Standard
| Oil Company, made statement setting
| forth details of the alleged theft of cor
respondence from his files.
Mr. ArchbOld said:
More than three years ago report
| reached me that certain of my letters had
| been offered for sale to newspapers of
this city. Ostensibly stolen letters. Ex-
| animation showed that some letters were
missing and that they could only have
| been taken by some one not only familiar
| with the office details, but highly trusted
| Mr.. Archbold told of the discovery of
| the thief.
McLAURIN REPLIES
| Former Senator McLaurin of South
Carolina gave out a statement, in which

PREDIcAMENT OF p. A. PORTER,
NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN.
Republican Organization of House OF
Representatives Refuses to Recog-
nIze Man Who Defeated Wads-
worth for Reelection.

Washington.-Peter A. Porter, men,
Der Of congress representing the Thir-
ty-fourth district of New York, is in
distress. Peter, it may be remem-
bered, conquered Congressman Wads-
worth, with the help of the Democrats
and some stanch independent Repub-
lican voters. When he was elected,
however, he announced that he would
vote with the Republicans in the house
of representatives. As matter OF
fact, Peter has always been Republi-
can, and he ran as he did simply be-
cause he could not get the regular Re
publican nomination. His success
was one of the most. surprising incl
dents Of the elections Of last year, for
Wadsworth had always been consid-
cred invulnerable in his district
.Wadsworth senior, father of the
speaker Of the New York assembly, ex-
ercised great power, and when Porter
was nominated 1t was not believed that
he had any chance of election. He
made his fight on personal grounds
and the beef trust record Of Wads-
WORTH which was condemned in an
open letter by President Roosevelt.
Porter used COW as an emblem and
distributed thousands of the presi-
dents letters throughout his district.
The majority of the voters, prospect
i've of politics, favored. him. thereby
administering a great shock to the
pride CT the aristrocratic Wadsworths.
And then Peter announced that he
would go to congress and continue his
fight against TIM beef trust and work
for more rigid laws relating to the
sale Of oleomsrgarine.
Now, Peter Porter having ridden
into congress on COW, finds that he

to have it corrected. He approached
the clerk Of the house and was in
formed that while he would be permit
ted to submit whatever biography he
desired, he could not appear as a Re-
publican without the consent of the
chairman of the Republican caucus.
Then it was that Peter Porter ap-
preached pete" Hepburn.
The Iowa colonel was wrathy. He
lit into Porter and allowed that Wads-
worth was the straight Republican
candidate and that the gentleman sue
ceeding him was no more Republican
than a rabbit To. this Mr.. Porter re-
piled by showing how many Republi-
can votes ne received, recited his long
allegiance to the party and told Of the
fondness the president had for him.
There was much more argument, but
1t fell on deaf ears. Colonel "Pete's"
word goes and Mr.. Porter is the one
member who has no brand. but must
go all through the session as a NAV
erick." u.
When John Sharp Williams heard
of the trouble he came Hospitality for
ward and invited Peter Porter to join
the Democracy, an invitation which
was rejected, and now the member
from the Thirty-fourth New York is
floating in political a'rship. He will
have difficulties concerning committee
assignments, for he cannot expect t.
draw any Republican vacancies, and,
having declined to enter the Demo
cratic caucus, he has no claim upon
the seats doled out to the minority.
1t is certainly a predicament for
Peter A. Porter. 1t is interesting to
the observer, too. for 1t may be that a
lifelong Republican will be compelled
to sit through an entire session Of
congress without party and without
q committee. Pa

to his father, the late King Oscar,
who feared the lad would grow up q
mere dreamer instead Of the man Of
action who was wanted on the throne.
To counteract this tendency, he sent
Gustavus TO live the simple life In
the country, to hunt, to fish. to ride
and to sail a yacht The young prince
took to these sports with avidity and
when he returned to the capital
the king saw that there was some
good stun In him. His own disap-
pointment with Gustavus was that the
lad had no liking for military mat
tiers and delayed. as long as possible
his entry into the army.
GustaVus resembled his father in
many respects. He had the same
taste for poetry and literature. the
same linguistic ability, the sama love
for the simple life inherited from their
peasant ancestors. and the same mag
nificent voice. Oscar used to lead
the singing when the people met on
