Democracy In ASCendanCY
Says National Chairman Mack

rection the more effective we hereby
associate ourselves as The Bryan Re-
publican Club of Minnesota
longworth Criticised.
L notice from the morning papers "
observed Col. Moses c. Wetmore AT
Democratic National headquarters to-
DAY, that Congressman Nicholas
LongWorth, President RoOsevelts SON
1n-law, has arranged for succession in
the White House just as it is done by
royalty in the European monarchies.
Mr. LongWor:h in a speech at Roch Is
land the other day declared that Taft
would be elected president for eight
years and that Theodore Roosevelt
would return to the White House in
1915 as chief executive of the nation.
OF course, SON. n-law Nick was too
modest to say So but following the
line Of succession agreed upon he
would be the natural choice of the G.
o. P. for the presidency in 1920 Taft,
White House program for the better
part of the next generation"
YeIls Liar.
Judge Taft complains that this IS
the day of the campaign canard, and
shouts liar" because some alleged
person said that he thought that one
dollar a day sufficient compensation
for the laboring man. Mr. Bryant and
Chairman Mack both denied the state
ment in the Hearst's paper that the
democratic national committee had re-
ooiyaI IL.
committee at the beginning of this
weeks after its authoritative repudia-
lion by Chairman Mack in the various
press associations of the country. The
democratic national committee has
never circulated the hoax of which fine
republican candidate for the presiden-
cy complains. The republican cam
paign managers have not only circulat-
ed as a campaign document the false
words put in ex-President Cleveland5
mouth but the president has given
expression to the charges created by
Mr.. Hearst's paper and has never made
correction of his error.
J. p. Morgan Contributes.
J. Pierpont Morgan contributed $20,
900 to the republican campaign fund
and Immediately stocks were affected
favorably. OF course, Mr.. Morgan will
be one of the most substantial con-
tributOrs towards Judge Taft's cleo
ton. Why shouldn't he contribute lib
orally? He had his man, George r.
Sheldon. elected treasurer of the re-
publican national committee. and he
has reason to believe that all his i'm
mense corporate interests will be i'm
mune from government regulation
just as they have been in past repub
lican administrations. Mr.. Morgan
towards the election of
President Roosevelt and Governor
Hughes, of New York: so did John
D. Rockefeller, E. H. Hartman, and
other trust magnates. There is no
reason in the world to expect they
will not do the same thing this year
Further evidence of efforts to in
timidate Workingmen to vote for Taft
have come to the attention of the
democratic national committee. The
latest scheme of republicans is TO
threaten them with panic and hard
times in the event of the election OF

lis. The schemers in order to escape
the charge of coercion have hidden
themselves behind the high sounding
title of "Workingmen's Protective as

just what this organization is, but re-
Gently employees of the Nordyke q
Marmon Co., the Uden WoodWafe
Works, the Bemis Bag Co., and other
concerns of Indianapo-
