BRYAN AND HASKELL.
Haskell Case Entirely Different from
That of Senator Foraker.
(From the Kansas City Star. }

(From the Kansas City Starr
The most adverse development Of the
Democratic campaign is the charge of
Standard Oil connections against Gov
ernor Haskell, treasurer Of the Demo
cratic National Committee, because Mr.
Bryan is responsible for Mr.. Haskell's
prominence in the Presidential contest
weight of suspicion resting on Mr..
Haskell is such that his connection
with the campaign should at once be
severed and remain severed until he
can prove his innocence.
The Haskell case is entirely different
from the Foraker case. Foraker oppos-
ed Taft to the time of his nomination !;
Taft refused to make terms with him
to secure the nomination, and has re-
fused to vouch for him since. Foraker
is down, but Taft does not need to ta&A
any cognizance of his fall. He is not
responsible for Foraker.
Haskell, politically speaking, is a
Bryan product.
And the only way to explain Mr.
Bryan's ENHANCEMENT with Haskell is
that he is about as bad a judge Of
men as he is of issues.
Bryan is an eXperimentalist He is
attracted by superficial qualities. He
likes new measures and new cham
pions. The hardest strain that has
been put on the popular belief in his
individual sincerity has been imposed
by the unsound policies he has espouscd
and the unsound counsel he has sought
Democratic "Publicity" Dup1fcity.
The Democratic party Of the country,
through its representatives in Congress,
is on record as voting down a bill pro-
viding for publicity of campaign con-
tributions in national elections and for
voting down a bill providing against
fraudulent registration and fraudulent
elections Such is Democratic duplic-
ity and Democratic insincerity in re-
gard to this subject which has been
dignified into a campaign issue.-James
s. Sherman.

Roosevelt as his imitator, counterpart

DEC. IA TO 10, 1908. OF
Facts About the
Great Majestic Range

1t is the only range IN the world
made of MalleabIe and Charcoal Iron.
1t has, beyond any question of doubt,
the largest and best reservoir.
Ituses about half the fuel used on
other ranges and does better work by far
The Majestic All Copper Nickeled
Reservoir heats the water quicker and
hotter than any other. It is the only
reservoir with removable frame.
The Charcoal Iron Body of the Great
Majestic Range lasts three times as
long as steel body.
Being made of non-breakable mater
ial, there is practically no expense for
repairing the Majestic
For baking it is perfection; not only for
few months, but for all time to come.
The Great Majestic Range lasts three
times as long as cheap range, but 1t
don't cost three times as much.
