At this time, too, Mr.. Roose-
velt shows great familiarity with
the UNANIMOUSLY famous contribu-
ton made by E. H. Hartman and
calls attention to the fact that it
did not affect any action taken
by me as against Mr.. Hartman.
There was a time when Mr..
Roosevelt knew nothing at all
about the contribution, but now
he knows much, and among other
things, says he has been in
formed that it was used not in
the national campaign but in
New York State. Mr.. Bryan
asked an embarrassing question
as to that Hartman contribution,
namely, Would it not have af-
fected the result of the election
if it had been known"
Mr.. Roosevelt admits that it
would and, by creating a false
impression, have impaired the
chance Of success. His argu-
ment is that men anxious for
partisan success would misin-
terpret the intentions of the
givers and receivers of campaign
contributions and infer a guilty
association, instead of accepting
as true and genuine and honest
the averments of the parties to
the deal. In fact, Mr.. Roose-
welt fears that the letter he
quoted from himself to the
chairman Of the Campaign Com
mittee in 1904 would be inelo-
quent ana fiat when aligned
against an impessiyely eloquent
S240,0O0 donation by E. H. Har-
riman. 1t certainly would be.
But because it would, are we
to insist less strongly that the
relations between these corpor-
ate givers and the most incor-
ruptible candidates be made
known? What have the candi.
dates to fear if they are incor.
ruptible and honest? And yet
Mr.. Roosevelt fears that his in
corruptible and honest heiI

1t is a fair argument that i
the publication of the informa
ton would defeat William How
ard Taft, the failure to publish
it should also defeat him. Tn,
confessed fear of Mr.. Roosevelt
that publication would be disas
trous should make the failure t,
publish the information still
more disastrous.

The President cites the nu-
merous suits he directed to be
started against combinations Of
capital, against railroads and
against the beneticiaries of re-
bates. 1t is not a particularly
imposing list when it is com
pared with the political advant-
age claimed from it, but it will
do. The most conspicuous thing
in the list of railroads that have
been prosecuted, successfully
and otherwise, is the absence Of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
and in the list of individuals the
absence of the name of Paul
Morton,
Has the President forgotten
how his friend Morton stood in
the way of sinners and sat in the
seat of the scornful; how he
sneered at the Interstate Com
merce Commission while his
company scattered rebates with
impious hand; how it helped the
Beef Trust hamstring the indie
pendent packer; whipsawed the
competitors of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company; how it de-
vised iniquitous ways Of piling
up tainted money for that por-
ton Of the Kansas salt industry
which belonged to the Morton
family? Yet Morton was finally
sent forth from the Cabinet into
the world with a clean bill of
health signed T. R. and officially
sealed and tapped! Mr.. Roose-
welt may have forgotten it, but
there are a lot of people who
haven't.
