OH Magnate for Taft, He Says,
Because the Candidate
Is for Him.
RINGS IN ROOSEVELT.
Presidents PretenSe Fails and
Republicans Unnasked
by Their Master.

TOLEDO, O.. Oct 3o.-william j.
Bryan, on the concluding day Of his
campaigning in Ohio. devoted his etten-
ton to John D. Rockefeller and Andrew
Carnegie. both Of whom are quoted IN
the morning papers az supporting Mr..
Taft MIR Rockefeller bases his attitude
on the ground that the balance OF f't-
ness and temperament Is on MIR. Taft
side and that his election would make
for law and order and stability OF bust
ness, while Mr.. Carnegie sides with the
Republican candidate because he re-
CARDS MIR Bryan as a menace and says
his elertion would he national tragedy,
Tho Democratic candidate on the oc-
caslon of his first speech In the State
at NAPOLEON to-day bitterly denounced
both Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr.. Carnegie.
The former, he said was favoring Mr..
Taft because Mr.. Taft was in sympathy
with the trusts, and as to Mr.. Carnegie,
he declared that 1t was the Steel Trust
that went to the White House and got
permission from the President to alb
sorb a riva', and the Steel Trust Is
to-day supporting Mr.. Taft II helped
to secure him nomination
Because Taft Is for Him.
The, statements We're repeated in this
city to-day, where in the baseball park
MI Bryan spoke to a great gathering
He said
1.-THE morning papers publish state
ment from Mr. Rockefeller giving rea-
sons for supporting Mr.. Taft. He says:
Taft becsuse on comparing him person
ally with Mr.. Bryan, his chief opponent,
find the balance of fitness and tenn
permanent entirely on his side There
are several things about this statement
that deserve attention. The first clause
says II for no other reason But there
is already a reason.
He is for Mr.. Taft because Mr.. Taft
is for him. He is for Mr.. Taft because
Mr.. Taft is in sympathy with the trusts.
Mr.. Taft has been making speeches for
many, weeks and he has not yet dwelt
upon the iniGuities of the trusts or point
ed out the injustice done to the Gamer
lean people by them. No wonder Mr..
Rockefeller is for Mr.. Taft.
Again, MIR. Rockefeller says Mr..
Taft's election will make for law and
order This is false. Mr.. Reckefellers
corporation is the most notorious law
breaker in the United States. and he is
for Mr.. Taft because he does not want
the law enforced. II he thought that
Mr.. Taft would enforce the iaw against
the Standard Oil Company and favored
the enactmnt OF more stringent laws
against the Standard Oil Company as
l do he would not be for Mr.. Taft.
Stability in Trusts.
Mr.. Rockefeller also says that Mr.
Taft's election will make for stability
Of business. What kind OF business?
Stability in the trust business is what
he means. He thinks that Mr.. Tsfts
election viii, enable the trusts to get Il
tighter strange grasp upon the Ameri-
can people and put their extortion upon
more permanent foundation.
He says that MIR. Taft Is not a man
inclined TO rash experiments, He might
have omitted the word rash for Mr..
Taft IS not In favor Of any kind of ex-
pertinent in the way Of remedial legisla-
ton. He does not propose remedies.
He simply glories in the past and wants
10 leave conditions as they are.
1.-THE Democrats have reason to be
grateful to M Rockefeller for tearing
The mask of the Republican campaign
and revealing the duplicity that char
Hcterized II. Instead OF openly attack
ing the side OF monopoly the Republican
organization has kept NJ pretense OF
reform, and Mr.. Roosevelt rushed into
the arena and allowed . charge that
the trusts We're opposed to Mr.. Taft TO
stand. challenged him to name one
trust officer that was supporting me.
and not being able to find an official he
case represented the president OF a
branch OF the Standard Oil Company.
Real Master Steps Forth.
