/ Ohio referring to legislation pending

closures of al ecks, one for 900 and
another for $14,5OO. Mr.. Hearst said:
We claim that the Republican party
has been fer a long time the benefic-
iary of trust corruption and that the
Democratic party has only waited an
opportunity TO share it's sisters profit
able infamy.
We claim that the Democrats are to-
day eagerly competing with the Re
publicanS for trust faVOr.
We claim that when Theodore
Roosevelt whipped the Standard Oil
ous of the Republican party the Demo-
cratic party welcomed that convicted
criminal with open arms. We claim
that the Democratic party killed for
Mr.. Rockefeller the fatted calf and
that there is more rejoicing over this
une sinner who has joined the Demo-
cratic cause TRAN there is over the
hundreds Of thousands of honest,
faithful citizens who constitute the
Democratic masses.
| am not here with empty as
sertions, but with legal evidence and
documentary proof.

favor If last night with Enclosure,
which latter with letter from Mr. Eli
lott commenting on same, | beg to
