1t is generally understood that Mr..
Taft cannot be elected without the help
of the trusts. If that be true where is
he matter to stop? Each recurring
election the trusts will be stronger and
the people more helpless. To atmit
that the friends of the trust only can
be elected is to admit that theipeople
have already lost their freedom.

men OF this county have had to not
only meet the heavy increase in est
of living but have had then wages cut

Thirty years ago one Of the
old fashioned steel wire spring
wagons was a luxury, says the
Humansville Star-Leader. In a
funeral procession a mile long,
you would see perhaps two or
three Of them. Everybody rode
in farm wagons. Twenty years
ago a top buggy was a rich mans
good fortune and but few of
then were seen. Today q top
buggy with a rubber tire is as
common as a Democrat in Texas
Anybody and everybody has
them. A farm wagon in a funeral
procession would be a novelty
The upper tens ride in auto
mobiles and they are fast be
coming common. A newspaper
printed yesterday is stale. II a
letter is twenty four hours travel
ing a thousand miles there is a
kick coming. Ten dollars don't
last as long as 10 cents did with
our grandfathers. We spend
more for Socks and suspenders
than grandfather did for his
Sunday clothes.

 The general situation all over the country favors the Democrats. speak from observations made myself in many States and from conservative re- ports from sections have not visited. During my trip through Iowa, Me- braska and Michigan. was impressed with the Democratic sentiment heard on all sides. I tell you the Republi- cans had better not go to sleep in Michigan. There has been an awak- ening in that State. The Republicans are not certain about anything except Pennsylvania and four New England States All the other strongholds are doubtful to them because of internal strife and factional fights. In New York they are badly split. while every one is familiar with the division in New Jersey. In Michigan the State I have just visited, a fight is on at the present time, and the Spreckles-South-- ern Pacific fight is on in California. In addition to all these influences, working against the Republicans. I could mention many others"

To AnsaiI Cromwell.

New York. Oct. 2.-Followlng the attack of National Chairman Mack to- day on the corporation affiliations of George R, Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican national committee. 1t was learned to-day that the Democratic national committee is preparing to as- sail the corporation connections of William Nelson Cromwell, member of the advisory committee Of the Repub- lican national committee.
 Other members of the Republican advisory committee. 1t Is understood are also being investigated and rep resentatives of the Democratic com rntttee are carefully inqulring into the financial records of the Republican committeeman. For several days the corporation records of Mfr. Cromwell have been under quiet investigation. but whether the representatives of the Democratic committee have learn ed anything of MT. Cromwell's finan- clal operations other than the conn panies with which he is identified, has not been made known. Chairman Mack will leave for tho West to-mor- row night and 1t Is not unlikely that there may be some developments with regard to the planned attack on MT. Cromwell tomorrow.
