Chicago, Oct. 21.-Althoueh William
Randolph Hearst. who is acting in the
interests of the republican party for
the election of its candidates, has not
read any letters revealing the connec
tion which James S. Sherman is said
TO have with the Standard Oil COM
pany. Mr.. Sherman's service for that
gigantic trust is plainly shown by his
attitude upon the railroad rate bill
passed by congress two years ago. Mr..
Sherman. in the interest of Standard
Oil. was the man who 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

park. He also made short speeches
at two other. points, one of them being
addressed to a delegation of railroad
employees
In beginning each of his three
speeches Mr.. Bryan devoted consider
able attention to the welcome given
him. He declared amid frantic yells,
that the turnout had been of such a
size as to leave the democrats no op-
ton but to make MY Old Kentucky

assumed charge of the administration.
Repeats Bribery Charge.
Mr.. Bryan's main address emphasize
ed two points. He repeated his charge
that the republicans were expecting to
buy the election if purchase was pos
sible, and declared that a high tariff
was breeder of panics.
What use is to be made of these
large sums at this period of the cam
paign?" he asked. 1T is not to be
used for literature, for the circulation
of literature has almost passed. 1t is
not to be used for the perfectin of the
organization, for the organization has
already been perfected. What other
use can be purchased? The republi-
can leaders have not scrupled at pur-
chase in the past, and | call your at
tention to the fact that purchase is
now contemplated wherever a puf-
chasable voter can be found. How
long will the American people permit
the corruption of politics by the pred
atory interests? How long can the
republican party claim to be a moral
agency while its leaders resort to the
secret contributions, and to the enor-
nous corruption fund ?"

to the rate bill making it unlawful for
any common carrier to transport any
commodity produced by itself lumber
and its products being excepted When
the measure went into conference. Mr..
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 lines as
well as railroads, to railroad COM
|pany." He readily saw, as a represen-
tative of Standard Oil interests, that
to make all common carriers amena-
BILE to the law would be a serious blow
to the Standard Oil company which
transports its products in its own pipe
lines, and refused to accept the prod
uct of Independent companies for

plete monopoly in shipping oil.
Would Protect Oil Company.
To change the words common car
rier' in the senate amendment to
railroad company" would protect the
Standard Oil. Mr. Sherman. in charge
of the bill on behalf of the house, made
an uncompromising fight for this de-
mand of the Standard Oil. So insist
ent was he that Senator Tillman, who
had charge of the bill in the senate.
refused to sign the conference report
although in order that the bill might
pass with its many favorable features,
Mr. Tilman was obliged to accept the
bill after exposing in the senate the
Standard Oil provision Mr. Tillman
called attention to the fact that the
change which Mr. Sherman so yigor-
ously fought for. was in the interests
of the Standard Oil company, and that
that concern, hiding behind many So
called independent companies which it
in fact controlled, was the source of
the demand for the elimination of pipe
lines as common carriers.
Forced to Accept 1t.
So skillful was Mr.. Sherman S manip-
ulation of the Standard Oil provision
that both house and senate were forced
to accept it in order that the railroad
