MACK MAKES CHANGES.
Declares Republicans Are Financing
Taff. .chanIar Conhination

Declares hepupilcah5 Are Financing
Taft chanler Combination.
New York, Oct. 29.-National Chair
man Mack declared his belief today,
after, investigation, that the "Taft and
Chanler Business Mems League" !"
which is seeking to secure the election
of Taft for president and Chanler for
governor, was being financed by the
republican national committee. The
league, said Mack, is circulating sam
ple ballots showing how to split the
ticket, and is extensively advertising
in the local press, advising the elec-
sion of Taft and Chanler. None of the
regular democratic organizations, as
serted Mack, was behind this move
ment. whose promoters have carefully
avoided their identity in the campaign.

LESSONS IN HIGH FINANCE.

Thomas f. Ryan, dealer in stocks and
bonds, promoter of railroads and all
around tipancier, startled the members
of a New York grand jury by declaring
that 95 per cent of the stocks of the
railways of the United States are water.
Mr.. Ryan said also that some of the
railroads cost the owners not one cent
to build.
The public was aware that the cap
ital stock of many large corporations
contained liberal percentage of water,
but that it is practically all water is
news to most of us. Ryan without
doubt must know what he is talking
about, and his declaration makes plain
several matters not heretofore general
ly understood. 1t explains why rail
road promoters, who haven't sufficient
capital in their own right to build a
thousand feet of railroad, are so num-
erous and anxious in many parts of
the country. The tax aids and borrow
ed money are expected to build the
roads, and the common stock is the
basket provided to catch the profits.
Ryan's statement explains another
matter. 1t is the Harrimans. the Goulds
and the Standard Oil crowd who have
shown their ability to make large cor
porations pay big dividends on this
est on the bonds at the same time. II
is these fellows who are the successful
promoters, because their bond issues
are taken by the big banks and trust
companies.
I Ryan's information reveals another
secret. 1t is that the income of fortune:
credited to many of the rail magnates
are largely fictitious, because of this
watered stock. When panic comes ant
liquidation is forced, or earnings on the
stocks of doubtful value fall off or dis

BRYAN,s STRENGTH.

The Chicago Tribune's test ballot on
the democratic presidential candidates,
SO far as it concerns the states of Con-
necticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New

shows Bryan to be first choice of 81 of
the democrats polled, Johnson the first
choice Of 1872, and Judge Gray the first
choice of 70. Bryans majority over all
the other seven candidates is 95 in a
total of SAT ballots cast. Consider
ing that this ballot is reflective of the
sentiment in the section supposedly
hostile to Mr.. Bryan's nomination, his
strength is greater than even his warm

BRYAN CONDENsES SOLOMON.

William Jennings Bryan has tried his
hand at condensing one of the pro-
verbs Of Solomon. In speech before
the legislature of Oklahoma he said:
zone proverb have often quoted is:
1.-THE wise men forseeth the evil and
hideth himself, but the foolish pass on
and are punished 1t is a great truth,
and beautifully expressed, but |
found it did not stick in peoples mind,
and so condensed it, and it is the only
effort have ever made to improve up
on proverb, and this is not an improv-
5ment, it is merely condensation. 1t
4 is not as beautiful as Solomon's proverb
but it is more easily remembered. 1t
means the same thing in a condensed
form: ''The wise man gets the idea in
to his head; the foolish man gets it in
the neck"

AN ELECTION PRIMER.
Pertinent Points About Our Elec
ton Machinery For New Voters
and Old.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.


When did the democratic party first
appear in national politics?
Under its present name the party ap-
peared in 1928, when Andrew Jackson
was elected as the party candidate.
The democratic party, however, so far
as it's chief principles go, dates from
the beginning of the republic.
Who is regarded as the party's foun-
der?
Thomas Jefferson. When the con-
stitution of the United States was I'M
der discussion in convention the OPP
posing theories Of Thomas Jefferson and
Alexander Hamilton constituted the
difference Of opinion. Jefferson and his
adherents leaned far toward local self
government, while Hamilton and his
faction stood for strong centralized
government. In after years the JEFF
fersonian theories became crystallized
into what was called at first the repub-
lican party, later the republican-demo-
cratic party and finally the democratic
party.
The present republican party, then, is
entirely distinct from the one of JEFF
ferson's time?
Entirely so. 1t is descended, through
the Wing party, from the Hamilton or
Federalist party, which took the oppo-
site view to that of Jefferson.
What presidents has the democracy
elected?
Thomas Jefferson twice, James Mon
roe twice, John Quincy Adams, Andrew
Jackson twice, Martin Van Buren,,
James K. Polk, Franklin Pierce, James
Buchanan, Grover Cleveland twice.
What is the democratic party's posi-
tion as to tariff?
1t stands for low tariff or tariff for
revenue only.
