BRYAN MAKES
PROMPT REPLY
Answers ROOSevelt'S Letter
Endorsing Taft.
EULOGY NOT SUFFICIENT

Democratic Candidate Says Presidents
Approval of Republican Nominee Is
of No Value Unless Present Chief
Executive Will Agree to Stay in
Washington and See That Mr.. Taft
Makes Good.
Baltimore, Sept. 15.-"A few plain,
simple sentences from Mr.. Taft will
be worth more than the eulogy that
the president pronounces. The presi-
dents endorsement is of no value un-
less the president will agree to stay
IN Washington and see that Mr.. Taft
makes good"
summed up his opinion of the letter of
President Roosevelt commendatory OF
Mr.. Taft. 1T was expected, of course, :"
said Mr.. Bryan, that President Roose-
welt would. support Mr.. Taft. He could
hardly do less in view of the fact that
he selected him as the administration
candidate and supported him with all
the influence that the administration
could bring to bear. The presidents
letter, however, may be objected to
as irrelevant, immaterial and not the
best evidence Ii Mr.. Taft were dead
1t would be interesting to know from
Mr. Roosevelt what he knew OF Mr..
Taft's opinions and work, but as Mr..
Taft is alive and able to speak for
himself it is hardly necessary for Mr..
Roosevelt to tell US what Mr.. Taft
will do.

also has made some speeches and
promises to make some more. The
ones he has already made have not
thrown any light upon the political
situation, but it is to be hoped that he
with sufli cient clearness to enable the
public to know what he stands for.
1t is not sufficient for the president to
say that Mr.. Taft is a friend of labor.
That is a subject upon which the la
boring man is entitled to an opinion
and Mr.. Taft's friendship is to be de-
termined not by the presidents en-
dorsement but by the measures which
Mr.. Taft advocates. Mr.. Taft believes
that the labor organizations should
come under the operation of the anti
trust law, thus dealing with the men
who belong to the labor organizations
as if they were merchandise, for the
of the products of labor.
Labor Denied Trial by Jury.
"Mr. Taft is opposed to trial by jury
in cases of indirect contempt, thus
denying to the laboring man a safe
guard which is guaranteed to every
man tried in criminal court. Mr.
Taft does not agree with the laboring
man in regard TO the use of the in
junction in labor disputes. No words
of praise from the president can
change Mr. Taft's attitude on this
question or make that attitude more
acceptable TO the wage earners.
Mr. Taft's position on trusts is not
changed by the presidents endorse
ment. The president himself has not
succeeded in putting any trust mag
mates in the penitentiary and only
few of the trusts have been disturbed.
III Mr. Taft is not more successful
than the president in his attack on the
trusts he will not satisfy the expecta-
tions of the public. There are more
trusts in the country today than there
were when Mr. Roosevelt was inau-
gurated and MIR. Taft favors weak
ening rather than a strengthening OF
the antitrust law, for he has advo-
Gated an amendment that will limit
the operation of the law to unreason-
able restraint of trade.
Not Clear on Tariff Question.
"On the tariff question Mr.. Taft has
failed to express himself with clear
ness. The Republican platform does
not use the word reduction 1t only
promises revision and Mr.. Taft had
construed that to mean that some
schedules will be lowered and some
raised, but there is no intimation that
the average will be lower or higher
than 1t is now.

Asbestus. popularity known as 'min-

lime, magnesia and oxide of iron and
is probably the most curious natural
product in existence. Being composed

Deneen Blacklist Causes Trouble.

Faced with defeat because OF the
horrors exposed in the state charitable
institutions, it is Charged that the cam
paign managers OF Gov. Deneen have
started blacklist against all employ
es who dared to tell the truth about
the tortures inflicted on inmates OF
asylums and prisons.
The democratic state campaign cen
-mittee backs its charges by sworI
affidavits.
This exposure follows on the heels
of the attack on Gov. Deneen by Ia
Dor organizations for reviving the ole
contract labor system in Joliet peni
Tertiary, and demand by employees
of the Deneen south park board FOL
union wages.
The latest victim of the alleged
blacklist which includes senators and
state Representatives who denounced
Deneen, is Ernest Moos of Peoria.
Moos is a machinist employed by
contractors engaged in setting boiler:
at the Lincoln Asylum for Feeble
Minded Children. He incurred the EN-
nifty of the Deneen regime by appear

CouIdn't Stand sheldon.

George r. Sheldon, treasurer of the
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 governor. His
connections with the trusts, and especi-
ally those owned and dominated by ].
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 ticket with Shell
don United States Senator Thomas
C. Plat was determined to have Shell
don on the ticket and informed the re
publican leaders at the state conven
ton at Saratoga that Sbeldon's name
would remain en- the slate. The wire!

bany were kept hot, and, finally, Gov

Sheldon's name from appearing on the
ticket. Governor Odell went direct to
Senator Platt's home in Saratoga, ar Z
latter a conference which lasted until
Il o'clock in the morning. Piatt yielded
and Sheldon's name was withdrawn
and F. w. Higgins was nominated for
the Office sought by George r. Sheldon.
When it was announced that Shell
don would not be on the ticket 300 del
legates in front of Platt's house cheer
ed the glad tidings.
Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, when
asked at that time why he objected SC
strongly to Sheldon, said:
81 have no personal animosity to
ward Mr. Sheldon 1 believe that the
lobjections that have been raised te
him are of the gravest sort and thai
they jeopardize the state ticket
Governor Odell had this to say da!
