lowing is taken:

Chicago formerly Comptroller Of the
Currency. had more influence than
anything else in arousinS Wall street

stand that the Republican majority in
the house is in danger.
wall street has steeled itself
against the opportunities OF political
canvassers for funds. but Mr.. Dawes
visit was unquestionably impressive.
The people who saw and heard him
were convinced that he really meant
what he said when he announced that
unless means were taken to arrest the
current and change the situation the
Democrats would swing into control
of the popular branch Of congress and
probably elect president. Mr.. Dawes
did not confine his visit alone to
/ bankers and financiers. He devoted a
good share of his attention to leading
representatives of the manufacturing
interests. He carried away some
money. but not nearly as much as he
had hoped for"

60 THE PEOPLE RUlEf
All the Recent Publications Convince
the Voters that Trusts Control
Legislation.

After all the excitement over the
public alton Of the Standard Oil letters.
showing that trusts control legisla-
ton, has reached the stage where the
voters sift the wheat from the chaff Of
sensational publications. what will be
the logical conclusion in the minds
Of the voters? II will be:
THAT the people do not rule be-
cause the national lawmakers Iegis-
late to suit the trusts. More trusts
exist today than ever, the people suf
fer more from them, and they prac-
tice more extortion.
2.-That the party in power ls the
party through which the trusts rule.
The Republican party Is now in power.
Il writes all the national laws. In
speech in the last Congress. Mr.. sher-
man Candidate for vice-President), =,
declared that the Republican party
assumed all responsibility for every
thing that has been done and for what
has not been done. That is right.
ne tTuStS write tne tdFtrr laws passed
by Republican votes. " the magnates
are not punished criminalIy, II Is be-
cause Republican officials fall In their
duties. For eleven years the Demo-
Gratis have had no power to frame
Federal laws or to execute a Federal
statute. II everything In America is all
right as to Federal laws for eleven
years. the Republican party deserves
the credit. II "cviIs have crept in"
the Republicans are responsible. The
only hope for a change lies in the cleo
ton Of Bryan.
| Suppose son,e individual Democrat
has been employed by a trust. He
could not get a law passed. he could
not get ian immunity BATH" he could
do nothing effectively for the trusts
unless a majority Of the Republican
Congressmen favored the trust meas
ures. The Republican orators can not
escape responsibility by trying to pick
out some Democrat who has been en-.
ployed by a trust. Recent disclosures
prove that the people do not rule. but
that the truss owe their existence and
fatncss to Republican laws and Repub-
Iican officials.

Even Lt.-Gov. Woodruff. Trust
Character, Said the Present Trea-
surer of the National Commit
tee, Would Jeopardize the
State Ticket.

George r. Sheldon, treasurer OF tho
Republican National committee. whose
trust interests are well known. was
compelled. under fire. to withdraw
from the New York state ticket in the
fall OF 1902 when he was eager to
accept the office OF Lieutenant-GOver-
nor. His connections with the trusts
and especially those owned and domi-
mated by J. Pierpont Morgan and other
favored trusts. became such an issue
at that time that Governor b. B. Odell
fought against his name being placed
on the ticket. Odell even went so
far as to wire Timothy Woodruff that
he would not run on the same state
| ticket with Sheldon. United States
Senator Thomas c. Platt was deter
mined to have Sheldon on the ticket
and informed the Republican leaders
at the state convention at Saratoga
that Sheldon's name would remain on
the slate. The wires between the con-
vention city and Albany were kept
hot and. finally. Governor Odell was
compelled to take train for Saratoga
In order to prevent Sheldon's name
from appearing on the ticket. Cover

Platt's home in Saratoga and, after
conference which lasted until z
o'clock in the morning. Plat yielded
and Sheldon's name was withdrawn
and F. w. Higgins was nominated for

When 1t was announced that Shell
don would not be on the ticket three
hundred delegates In front OF Platt s
house cheered the glad tidings.
Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff when asked at
that time why he objected so strongly
to Sheldon, said:

ward Mr.. Sheldon. believe that the
objections that have been raised to
him are Of the gravest sort and that
they jeopardize the state ticket"

PROTECTING DEPOSITS IN BANKS
An Ohio Example Of Taft's Position
and OkIahoma's Proof Of eryan's
Position.

One of the planks OF the Denver
platform favors guaranteed bank de-
posits. Mr.. Bryan addressed the Ohio
legislature in February favoring guar.
anteed deposits. Former Governor
Herrick subsequently addressed the
legislature in reply to Mr.. Bryan. op.
posing any such protection for banks
and bank depositors.
Mr.. Taft. in his speech Of accep'
tance. denounced the plank of the
Denver platform, which declares fol-
a national law for banks similar to
the Oklahoma law for state banks.
thereby coinciding In the views Of Mr.
Herrick and opposing the views OF Mr..
Bryan.
Below are two dispatches showing
what Mr.. Bryan stands for and what
Mr.. Taft stands for:

the fact may he cited that Mr.. Crom-

The appearance of Senator w. Muir
ray Crane. Of Massachusetts. upon
the Republican scene as chief I'D
visor" OF Chairman Hitchcock in the
management Of Mr.. Taft's campaign.
Is regarded as further unmistakable
evidence Of the alliance Of the Re-
publican party with the trust interests
for the election OF Taft. Senator
Crane may not be very well known by
the farmers and laboring men Of the
west. but he has very extensive and
intimate acquaintance in Wall street
and with the trust protected interests
Of the east lie belongs to that little
coterie of men who rule the United
States senate. He Is the principal ad-
visor of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich. OF
Rhode Island. who stands at the head
OF the Standard Oil list Of senators.
Senator Crane Is second In command.
! The failure of Chairman Hitch
cocks campaign for Taft made 1t
necessary for the Republicans to form
a closer relationship with tho trusts
in order to procure funds with which
to carry on their propaganda. No
man Is better suited to do the cement
ing than is Senator Crane. He Is a
Republican of high standing and is a
trust magnatc. His interests lie with
those who are monopolistS and with
the trusts.
