NEW YORK. October 30-Has the OPP
perfume ''Burchard' arrived? Does John
D. Rockefellers advocacy of Taft's cleo
ton tie a bunch of battered Standard
Oil cans to the republican campaign?
These are questions which are eagerly
asked and discussed among politicians
today.
Republicans readily recognized the ami
mus of the Rockefeller statement. The
Standard Oil Company has not.been Ia
vorable to republican success. and has no
reason to desire it, 1t is declared. SO that
Mr. Rockefeller's cuddlng up to the re-
publican candidate can have. In their
view only the animus of revenge upon
President Roosevelt and his administra-
ton if the people at large take the view
of the democratic national management
Political significance was added TO
Rockefellers statement by two facls'
First that he broke the habit of life
time in talking before any election. Sec

Chairman Mack had already prepared a
statement on the announcement OF An
drew Carnegie yesterday. reprehendinS
Bryan's election. The formal statement
| as handed out by chairman Mack follows:
Indignant at Carnegie.
| Mr.. Carnegie's statement yesterday on
his arrival from Europe that the election
| of William ]. Bryan would be tragedy
| is not only shocking, but should arouse
the indigna ion of all fair-minded people
| in the United States regardless of party
| affiliation.
| Mr. Carnegie / am reliably inform
| Ell, is not even i voter in TINS coun-
| try and we all know that he spends
| a large portion of his time abroad.
and yet he would denounce the election
of Bryan to the presidency as trag-
| edy when that greatest friend or the
plain people and sponsor of Justice,
| William j. Bryan, has been three
| times nominated, twice almost by ac-
| clamation for that high office, and re-
| ceived the Endorsement OF over o.
100000 voters, and is beloved by the
law abiding people throughout ms nA-
tive land and the civilized world
| Mr. Carnegie has amassed "A fortune
| as the result. in part, at least, OF re-
| publican policies, special privileges anu
| robbar tariff which Bryan and every
| true democrat condemns as SO odlons
and oppressive as to demand lmmedi-
ate reform Hence the election OF MT.
Bryan is denounced by Mr. Carnegie as
| tragedy. . .

Charges Corruption Fund.
Continuing his talk to the newspaper

The Next House.
Representative Loudenslager, secretary
of the republican congressional commit
tee who has been in charge OF the New
York Headquarters OF the committee dur
ing the campaign, last night gave out his
estimate that the next House would have
aoI republicans and 1G4 democrats.
This rose-tinted forecast OF Mr.. Louden-
slayer does not conform to the depressing
and almost despairing utterances OF the
campaigners four weeks ago. especially
the republican candidates as they clam
ored for assistance. 1t is said that Won
derful change has come over the coun-
try within the past month or so, and
that there has been steady Improvement
in the congressional outlook as tn repub-
lican campaign looked up all over the
country y. o. NJ.
