Roosevelt Calls 1t Scheme TO Hurt
Taft-Hitchcock Makes
Denial.

new YORK, Oct. 31.-Charges were
made by Norman Mack, chairman OF
the Democratic national committee,
that the declaration of John d. Rock
efeller for Taft for president was the
result of the deal between the Re-
publican national committee and the
Standard Oil interests whereby Ma
tional Chairman Hitchcock received
large contributors and Mr. Rookie
feller the promises. Mr.. Mack said
that undoubtedly the $29,000,G0 fine
OF the Standard would be fixed up in
event of Taft's election as a part OF
the bargain. Chairman Mack declared
that he lad learned that the Republi.
can national committee had a cam
paign fund of 100000 ard that of
this sum 100000 was being used
for purposes of coercion and bribery.

Probably the cleverest piece of de-
tective work that has ever been done
by an officer in this city was that
done by officer John Ballard in ar
resting Henry Wiseman, Friday
morning. The experience Mr.. Bal
lard had in performing the arrest
and the circumstances leading up to
it are very interesting.
David Wiseman, father of Henry
Wiseman, was in this city last We'd
nesday and from his presence here Of
fcer Ballard took his clue to locate
the son. 1t occurred TO Mr.. Ballard
that the father would likely 90 to
wherever his son was hiding; and a
close watch was kept on him while
he was here. In the afternoon he
went to the L. & E. depot and pur-
chased a ticket to Lexington an,
boarded the afternoon train. Mr..
Ballard also went to Lexington on
the same train but unknown 10 the
father as he rode in the baggage car
ahead.
When the train reached Lexington
Wiseman GOT off and started to the
home of Jim Giller about four miles
from LEXINGTON on the Russell Cave
pike Mr.. Ballard accompanied by
detectives Johnson and Veal of Lex
ington walked out the pike close be-
hind him and watched him go to the
home of Giller and retire for the
night.
After he had retired, the officers
returned to Lexington where they
spent the night. At four o'clock the
next morning the watch dogs were on
duty again. Mr.. Wiseman left the
house and came to Lexington and
purchased ticket to Clay City. Mr..
Ballar1 took his place in the bag
gage car and went to Clay City also !;
but instead of Wiseman getting off
at Clay City, he purchased ticket
on the train for Filson, which is
about fiftv miles farther up the road
He got off at Filson and started

Mack Supplements Statement.

New York, Oct 31.-Democratic
National Chairman Mack, after read
ing the statement issued at the
White House, where it was said some
amusement was caused by the an
nouncemef of Mr.. Rockefeller in
view of VI at the administration had
done to t + Standard Oil company,
said: "The White House statement is
its own answer. The bargain was
made between Taft's managers and
Rockefeller and concerns the posi-
BILE future administration of Mr.. Taft
and not what the present administra-
ton has or has not done to the Stand
ard Oil company" Replying to an
other printed article in which it was
charged that Mr.. Rockefeller had
been persuaded to indorse Taft at the
instance of the Democratic national
committee, Mr.. Mack sad: THE
statement is ridiculous and absurd
on the face of it, and has already
been sufficiently answered by me-"

New York, Oct. 31.-After reading
the statement of Norman e. Mack, in
which the Democratic national chair
man charged that the Republican or
ganization had received a contribu-
ton from the Standard Oil company,
Chairman Hitchcock of the Republi-
can national committee dictated the
following: "The statement that the
Republican national committee re-
ceived financial assistance from the
Standard Oil company is absolutely
false. The committee has not re-
ceived, directly or indirectly, from
that organization or any Of its OFF,

BRYAN APPEALS
TO LABOR VOTE
Addresses Immense Crowd at Cleve
land-Den0unCes Rcck-
efeller.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 80. = Hearing
denunciation upon the heads of John
d. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie,
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft be-
cause, he charged. of their connection
or sympathies with the trusts, VIII
liam j. Bryan in this city brought to
a close another strenuous day of cam
paigning.
The principal meeting was held in
the big Central armory, while a sec
ond audience was ADDRESSED at Grays
armory. Later the candidate spoke to
the street crowds from the balcony
of the Hollenden hotel. The arrival
of the candidate at the armory was
heralded by great thrcng outside,
and their cheers were taken up by
those on the inside, who broke out
into frenzy Of applause when he
made his appearance on the platform.
Mr.. Bryan apparently was at his best,
his voice carrying to every corner of
the building, and he spoke with a
vigor and earnestness that betrayed
not TIE trying ordeal of the campaign
which he has conducted.
Launching at once into the issues
Of the campaign the Democratic can
didate discussed the Democratic plat
FORM laying great stress on the
planks relating to the guaranteeing
of deposits, publicity Of campaign
contributions and the trusts. The
two latter topics furnished him the
theme for his attacks on the finan-
cicrs. the president and Mr.. Taft.
The Standard Oil company and the
steel trust, through Messrs, Rookie eel
Ter and Carnegie, were credited with
furnishing the funds for the Republi-
can campaign
Earlier in the day Mr. Bryan gave
out statement of his views regard
ing the declarations of the two fnan-
ciers that they were supporting the
Republican candidate, and this state
ment was practically embodied in
Mr.. Bryan's speeches here. He also
emphasized the labor planks Of the
Denver platform and made an appeal
for the lahnring men to stand togeth-
er and support the national Demo-
cratic ticket if they expected the
remedial LEGISLATION they desired.
Not content with his structures
upon those named. Mr. Bryan had
something to say about Secretary
Root. who is credited with having
stated that Mr.. Bryan's election
would be a menace to the country.
81 see Mr. Root has made an argyll
ment against the election of senators
by the people," he remarked. 81 am
not surprised. No man in public life
has more reason to fear an election
at which the people vote.
HE also thinks my election would
be a menace to the country That is
not surprising. He began his legal
career in a defense of Boss Tweed
and he has been so intimately asso-
ciated with the big lawbreakers ever
since that he would naturally resent
the Democratic idea Of enforcing the
law impartially against offenders"
During the day Mr.. Bryan spoke at
Napoleon, Toledo, Bowling Green,
Findlay, Fremont, Sandusky and Lo-
rain. At Toledo it is estimated that
10000 people attended the meeting,
many being unable to get within
sOund Of his voice
