CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
1t must be admitted that the repub-
lie cannot long survive II fraud and
corruption become material factors in
our elections. No man has said more
than the president about the corruption
of elections. You recall his message
to Congress in December. 1906, where
he said that:
1T has been only too clearly shown
that certain men at the head of these
large corpora tons take but small note
of the ethical distinction between hon
esty and dishonesty; they draw the line
only this side of what may be called
laW-honesty, the kind of honesty neccs-
sary in order to avoid falling into the
clutches of the law"
We have here the condemnation of
the practise: Has he proved his faith

sequent investigation of certain insur-
ance companies uncovered the fact that
large amounts were contributed by
these companies to the Republican,

INJUNCTION AND CONTEMPTS OF
COURT.
Let me go on. There has been and ia
now public demand for legislation
regulating, not aboishing, the process
OF injunction and the power to punish
FOR alleged indirect or constructive
contempts of courts Ever since 1896
the Democratic party have protested
against nasty and ill-considered use of
lnJunctious and has been insisting on
the right of fair trial in all cases of
constructive contempts. The Republi-
can party have been avoiding this ques-
uon. So the president, In taking II up
and Mr. Taft in his letter to the labor
unions advocated a measure that the
Democratic party. acting in behalf of
the correct administration of public
justice, has been demanding for II
years II the president was i'm earnest
when he sent his message to Congress
he was TO that extent Democratic
we are authorized to conclude that
IN framing. revising or debating the
Chicago platform he suffered from a
lapse of memory or abandoned the poll
cy he had so vigorously urged in his
official capacity, for he said in a mes
sage to Congress:
PRESIDENT QUOTED.
II also urge that action be taken
along the line of recommendations /
have already made concerning injunc-
tions in labor Disputes No temporary
restraining order should be issued by
any court without notice. and the petit
non for permanent Injunction upon
which such temporary restraining or
der has been issued should be heard by
the court issuing the same within a
reasonable time-say not Ia exceed a
week or thereabouts-from the date
when the order was issued. 1t is worth
considering whether II would not give
greater popular confidence in the i'm
Partially Of sentences for contempt If
IL WIS required that the issue should
be decided by another judge than the
one issuing the injunctions, except
where the contempt is committed in
the presence of the court or other
case of urgency"
surely he and his party eulogists for
got that he had but few months be-
fore advised Congress that 1T Is worth

II was required that the issues should
be decided by another judge than the

And in sim another message he said:
1T must be remembered that n pre-

granted without adequate proof
may often settle the dispute between
the parties and therefore If improper
