NEW YORK, Ootober 50-John D.
Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, hay
ing come out with vigorous declarations
in favor Of the election OF Mr.. TAFT.
Chairman Mack, of the Democratic COM
mittee, seized the opportunity 10 d.
clare that the Republicans have COM
pleted all arrangements to buy the
election by buying votes in the doubtful
States. He declared the deal had been
made, the Republicans get the mon
oy. and the trusts get the promises or
protection in the tariff revision, OF re-
mission of the S2g,0J0,000 Standard OIL
fine, and of many other side conces-
siOus.
He said: THE Standard Oh has final
Iy landed where everybody knew IL
would. The TAFT managers have evil
IDENTIFY made the bargain Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter held back for a bargain, and has
got what he wanted"
What Bryan Gets.
What viii the result be so far as
Bryan is concerned"
This deal VIII be good for 10000
Bryan votes In the douotfuI States. and
a quarter Of a million votes in ths couu-
try at large"
Of the deaI?"
"They have got more than 5000, 900,
They got S1,OJ0,0O0 for the regular cam
paign and S2,Jt0,00o for bribery and other
specific purposes. You may be sure

be under obligation TO the Standard OIL
trust the Steel trust, and 10 other big
trusts. The two sides have completed
the deal on which they have been dick

Rockefeller's Deal
what promises were made to Rookie
feller?"
in the first place, that 100000 fine
was taken care OF. There were other
important side issues, such as prom
ises not TO injure the trust in the tariR
revision to which the Republican party
is pledged. The people viii naturally
"a ant TO know now whether TAFT is 60
ing 20 be with Roosevelt or with Rocke-
feller If he is elected I don't think
anybody viii doubt that the RoOse-
Welt administration has the Steel trust
with them, and now the fact that the
OIL trust has gone over TO Taft is con-
frmed. The oil trust seems 10 be with
Taft, but not with Roosevelt. 1 got
from the very best authority that the
Republicans have already sent 500 900
into Indiana"
ANY money been sent to Ohio?"
Eyes, more than the amount sent
to Indiana. If they have sent all this
money TO Indiana and Ohio you may
imagine what they are spending in New
York. i understand that they hav6
5000 OO0."
How much has the Democratic. com
mittee spent in Indiana?"
Not a dollar, and nobody will doubt
it. That is one Of the advantages of
our plan of publishing our campaign
collections. When we make a state
ment about the money we are spending
the truth. The Republicans have sew
eral sources of getting money. The ma
tiOnal committee, the various State COM
miUtees, and the Congressional commit
tee, and none of them are telling where
they get their funds
But all this will do no good, because
the people cannot be fooled and they
can't be bought, You cant buy the
election any more. The American peO-
Dle from one end OF the country to the
other are awake. They understand the
situation end they viii not permit this
election to be bought. For instance
here tomorrow night What does il
amount to? The men Will be forced to
parade, but they VIII vote as they
please The iabOTing men OF all classes
