Surrendered to the Interests.

Readers of the public press just inter
ested in the conclusive evidence that the Taft man
ayers have surrendered to the predominating Re-
publican influence in New York. the Morgans the
Rockefellers and the other dollar-mark magnates
who represent the protected interests logically
the President of the United States surrendered along
with the other managers, of whom he is the director
Thus they have wrested the Empire State from
Governor Hughes and rendered themselves tolerably
sure of its delegation in the National convention.
Since financial distress fell upon the Nation and,
through calamity the accredited agents of the money
trust gained access to the White House, there has
been no demand by the strenuous for legislation
that would bring the bad men of the combine to JUS
tce and Congress has been left to drift along with
out any admontions from the big stick.
Mr. Taft is now acceptable to the Wall street
coterie and when faeful settlement of differences
is made it may be known that the candidate has
succumbed to the insistence of the enemy and that
reform is not to be part of the creed of the man
of Ohio
The organization in New York constructed by the
President in the interest of Mr. Taft is now en-
deavorng to name the running mate" on the Re-
publican ticket that it may strengthen itself beyond
peradventure along the lines of the oldtime policies

of the Republican party 1t is proposing Timothy
l. Woodruff for the Vice Presidential place, and
it is announced that Mr. Taft has agreed to accept
Mr. Woodruff as his companion of the campaign.
Mr. Woodruff is Numerically opposed to Governor
Hughes in the life insurance prosecutions that opened
to the Governor the doorway of fame and placed
him before the voting public good presidential tim
ber Woodruff represented the opposition to reform
in the insurance business defending and advancing
the interests of the great campaign contributing trust
He is conspicuous member of the financial and
commercial monopoly that has long controlled in the
governing operations of the Nation. He represents
everything that the Roosevelt administration has not
represented and when a party faction contemplates
his nomination to the second place, it be truth
fully said that the TaftRoosevelt alliance has fallen
into the hands of the enemies of the common well
fare.
Through the manpulatons of its managers the
Republican party is making easy the way of Mr..
Bryan If the deal now in active contemplation is
carried out he will carry the State of New York
on election day. The politicians may conspire but
they cannot deliver when "the goods represented
by Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Woodruff for the independent
Republicanism of the State will not submit to such
a surrender of principle.

Selected at Salt Lake.

Representative Killpack, of Fremont County, was
in Boise this week and the Capital News quotes him
as saying that Fremont County and the southeast
are all in earnest in pushing the candidacy of Colonel
Hamer for Congress-" That statement may be true
SO far as Fremont County is concerned, but Mr. Kill
pack had authority to speak for Bear Lake. Colo
mel Hamer doubt has some admirers among the
Republicans of this county, but hardly think the
county will send Hamer delegation to the State
convention In fact the Republicans of Bear Lake
not thinking much about politics yet, much less
talking about them. However, we will give the
Colonel tip to the effect that he had better list
Bear Lake in the uncertain column when figuring
up the number of votes he will have in the
acknowledgements Examiner.
Colonel, we fear you have not consulted the proper
authorities. You should know better than to pay
any attention to few bishops in your county
Nominations the Republican ticket not Sc
cured in that way. The polygamist Walter Hoge,
of the Paris Post has already warned you that the
church has not yet spoken, and now comes the
Jack Mormon Examiner to reinforce the polygamist
Hoge of the Post 1t should not be necessary to
advise Colonel Hamer that he need pay atten-
ton to the bishops and other local Mormons. He
knows as we'll as The Scimitar does that the Con-
gresham will be selected at Salt Lake. Our i'm
preston remains unchanged that French has re-

The Mother of the Chick.

New Orleans Pcayune: Mr.. w. ]. Bryan was in
Alexandria, La. and made speech, in the course
of which he said:
81 never found it so easy to defend Democratic
principles now, yet never so embarrassing for
the chances sixteen to one that President Roose-
welt will come back with speech much like it that
you can hardly tell them apart | never had so hard
time keeping track of our Democratic platform.
Some resent it. but do not When see the Presi-
dent nbbling at platform, [ feel like excaimng,
bite bigger, bite bigger No Republican has so thor
oughly enjoyed some of the things President RooSe-
welt has said as I have He has helped me. 1t is
gratifying to see ones ideas adopted. Some of the
things said years ago, that were pronounced anar-
chstic, have become quite the thing in polite society
since President Roosevelt has said them. The
ICONS are much easier me. One of the illustrated
weekes cartooned the President and myself as two
birds in tree. He on the nest and l was sit
ting on the limb He had feathered his nest with
all my feathers, and had only one feather left I
was dreadfully BARE and wondered if he would take
that one and sure enough his last message served
notice that he would take it. But have other eath-
ers left and whole lot growing. That brings us up
to a serious problem. If one hen lays an egg, and
another sits on it and matches, which hen is the
mother of the chick? If the Democratic party lays
an egg and Republican administration matches 1t
out, whose offspring is it ?"
With Roosevelt out of the way Mr.. Bryan may be
considered as to be his successor. Roosevelt is
the only prominent Republican who stands like Bryan
with the masses of the people, and great body Of
the population that would have voted for him will
vote for Bryan.
Mr. Bryan is strongly opposed by the conservative
Democrats as is Roosevelt by the conservative Re-
pubicans but conservatism will have but little to
do with electing the next President of the United
States Radicalism will have the "say-so" in the
next election and in any the victor would have
been either Roosevelt Bryan With the former
out of the way William ]. Bryan will be the man.
Everybody comedies that he will be the Democratic
nominee at Denver.

banks exclusively

Goodwins Weekly finds pleasure in the announce
ment that 'the Gentle women are moving upon
Senator Hopkins, of Illinois," 1t does not kno"
"'ttat the ladies can down him. but they can make
things mighty uncomfortable for him" Mr.. Hopkins
has the so1ace of partisan triumph to tighten his
burden, for he has demonstrated that Satan hlmseH
can inherit heaven under the auspices of the Re-
publican party if he will deliver the solid vote OF
the Internal regions on the next election day.
Goodwin's Weekly says that Mr.. Hopkins was
supposed to be judge in that Senatorial court that
was to pass mpartiay upon Senator Shoots claims
