THE DIFFERENCE

/ Senator Foraker has been the VIC
lent opponent OF the progressive poll
cies with which Judge Taft is so con
spicuously and SO honorably identi
fled.
| He not only set himself against
those policies, but deliberately cal
culated on his opposition to force
Judge Taft to compromise in Ohio
His friends approaching Taft, put ths
case in effect this way: "You are
striving for the highest prize within
the gift Of the American people, and
Foraker's assistance is necessary to
secure for you the solid backing of
you own state, which you must have
II you would go before the national
convention without serious hnndi.
cap"
We know that few men would have
resisted such a temptation, but Taft
rejected the compromise. Therefore
Foraker fought him bitterly at the
primaries. He was hostile both to
the candidate and his principles, and
the harmony plan of which so much
was said. involved no concessions on
Taft's part. At most It merely per
mitted Foraker to align himself with
the new Republicanism, If he was so
disposed. and, of course, at that time,
nothing had been heard of the Stand.
ard Oil scandal After the scandal
Foraker was shelved.
Governor Haskell was chairman of
the resolutions committee at the Dem.
iocratic national convention, was made
treasurer of the Democratic national
comittee and was the choice of Mr.
Bryan for both positions. Such seri.
Gus consideration as he has received
from the country at large has been
due to his close association with Mr..
Bryan. He has been tolerated by Bry.
an since the Standard Oil scandal and
several other scandals that have raised
stencil about him.
The sins of Foraker can only empha-
size the virtues OF Taft.
The sins of Haskell must become
the sins of Bryan unless there is n
radical change in the situation.
Something, to be sure. has been
said about proof, but Haskell has dis
proved nothing. The more he talks

he appears.

TAKE POLITICS STRAIGHT
OR "MIx THEM'


The way of the politician, as every
boy knows, is soft, easy pleasant
way, and perhaps, that is the reason
why 1t leads right to the Albany Hotel
in Denver, where whole floor is de-
coted to politics. There is little of
every kind on the political floor, no
favorite brand, and the visitor can
have his choicee of being straight
Republican or straight Democrat, or
he can even mix them.
II often happens that house is too
small, even large house, to hold two
men of different political faith. But
at hotel it seems, the rule does not
hold good, for when an antagonist feels
the argument too heated, he can with
draw to his own committee room and
there find friend who Will sooth him,
then with renewed strength he will
sally forth into the corridor to van
quish the enemy.
The corridor on the political floor is
the common battle ground. Here occur
the fights between Democrats and Re-
publicans. All about the corridor are
the forts and strongholds of the two
parties. These are the headquarters
where the valiant political soldiers
gather their ammunition, decide grave
issues and make ready the plans for
their campaigns. In these political
camps the midnight oil is often seen
to burma silent witness to the fact
that some matter of weighty import.
ance to the state or perhaps to the ma.
| tion is being discussed.
