BRYAN and Haskell.

The Haskell expose has thrown a
light upon Mr.. Bryan's character. AS
it has been pointed out in various
newspapers, IL Mr.. Bryan knew of Mr..
Haskell's sins and condoned them, he
was as guilty as the Oklahoma gov
ernor If he did not know Of them he
showed a lack of ability to judge men
that would promise i'll in his selection
of a cabinet and government officials.
For nearly three months, next to
Mr.. Bryan, Governor Haskell has epi-
tomized and typified in his person and
views the democratic party. He was
the father of the bank deposit guaran-
tys plan, the chief railor against ipreda-
tory wealth, the hacker of Gompers,
the joint standard bearer with Bryan
of the slogan Let the People Rule"
Mr. Bryan has not repudiated Has
l1ell publicly, but the governor has re-
signed as a matter of expediency. With
his resignation comes no assurance
that the democratic party has repud-
lated what he has accomplished for
it in material way during his three
months of treasurership and collector
ship. 1t has been a cause of inquiry
how and from what source the dem
ocratic campaign has been financed.
With the connection between the ex-
treasurer of the national committee
and the Standard Oil company estab-
lished positively, there no longer is
cause for wonderment, and the vigor
and activity of the democratic cam
paign, which has been run without heed
to expense, now is fully understood.
West for Taft and Sherman.
Governor Hughes of New York,
James IS. Sherman, vice presidential
candidate, and Senator Albert j. Bev-
eridge of Indiana, have started out on
the task of bringing in the west for
Taft. MIR. Taft himself has accom-
plshed great things. In Chicago, for
example, he addressed large audi
ence of railroad labor men on his own
record as Judge in injunction cases
and other labor disputes. He took the
position that what he decided was law
and justice, and that he had no apol-
ogy to make for 1t. The effect of his
attitude in this was to win over thorls-
ands Of laboring men who had been
listening to Gompers' call to vote for
Mr.. Bryan's promises.
Mr. Sherman addressed a large meet
ing of colored men while in Chicago,
and the effects of this have been seen
in the reports from the headquarters
of the negro voters. There is little
doubt. in the opinion of the leading
men of the race. that the negroes will
