In message sent to congress in
January, President Roosevelt said:
"The attacks by these great cor
porations on the administrations
actions have been given a wide cir
culation throughout the country,
in the newspapers and otherwise,
by those writers and speakers who,
consciously or unconsciously, act
as the representatives of predatory
wea Ith-of the wealth accumulat-
ed on a giant scale by all forms of
iniquity, ranging from the oppres-
sion of wage earners to unfair and
unwholesome methods of crushing
out competition, and to defrauding
the public by stock jobbing and
the manipulation of securities.
Certain wealthy men of this stamp,
whose conduct should be abhorrent
to every man of ordinarily decent
conscience, and who commit the
hideous wrong of teaching our
young men that phenomenal bust
ness success must ordinarily be
based on dishonesty, have, during
the last few months, made it ap-
parent that they have banded to.
gether to work for a reaction.
Their endeavor is to overthrow
and discredit all who honestly ad-
minister the law, to prevent any
additional legislation which would
check and restrain them, and tc
secure, if possible, freedom from
all restraint which will permit ev-
cry INSCRIPTIONS wrongs oer to do
what he wishes unchecked, provid-
ed he has enough money. And
yet the republican national con-
vention turned down every plank
offered to cure this growing evil.
The democratic party and VIM. ].
Bryan are plainly against the
things of which the president COM
plains.

The Botkin notification meeting
at Wichita last week was the best
attended and most enthusiastic
political meetingfof the year &C.
cording to the published reports.
Mr.. Botkin's speech on this occa.
sion struck close to the hearts of
the people of Kansas. He stands
out boldly for the things the peo-
pie demand and he impresses one
with his sincerity, his honesty and
his capability. Candidly, there is
not very wide chasm between Mr..
Botkin and Mr.. Stubs, the republi.
can candidate for governor, so far
as their expressed views go, but Mr..
Botkin has the advantage in that
he and his party are in harmony
while Mr.. Stubs and his party are
not. Mr.. Stubs does not Stand
with his party, or he is insincere in
what he advocates. The better
way out of it is to elect Mr.. Bot.

Bird S. Coler, who is thoroughly
familiar with New York politics,
predicts that Bryan and Kern will
win the electoral vote of New
York state. In a newspaper in
terview Mr.. Coler said: "The
election of Mr.. Mack to the chair.
manship of the national committee
is an honor to the democracy of
the east, and there was a general
feeling among the national com.
mitteemen that no better man
could have been named for the
place. | told Mr.. Mack in Chicago
on Saturday that we democrats at
the eastern end of the state would
pitch in and aid him in every DOS
sible way to make victory certain in
the Empire state this year. There
is great enthusiasm everywhere for
the ticket and it looks as though
we were going to win big victory
this year. Personally / propose to
get out in this state and do every
thing can to bring success to the
democratic candidates.

CRAWFORD FIRM FILES BRIEF
Paving Company Thinks Contracts
Are All Legal.
Says District Would Be Liable for
Damages Under Different
Ruling.

Another brief on the legal points in
volved in the investigation OF the charges
OF favoritism preferred by the Brennan
Construction Company against the engi-
neer department Of the District has been
submitted to the Commissioners.
This one is from J. S. Flannery, attor-
ney for the Crawford Paving Company.
In the brief are discussed the questions
Of the power OF the Commissioners TO
divide the work under the proposals OF
March 80. 1907: 10 make the contract OF
May 3. 1907, with the Crawford Paving
Company. and TO cancel orders for pro-
ceeding with the work. which. with grade
sheets were delivered to the Crawford
company under its contract. The brief
says. in part:
The organic act Of June II, 1878, seems
TO US TO make it perfectly clear that the
Commissioners had ample power 10 divide
the contract street paving for the current
fiscal year between the Brennan Con-
struction Company and the Crawford Paw
ing Company the particular kind Of work
upon which they were the lowest bidders,
respectively.
The Brennan Construction Company not
only has entered into a contract for the
portion Of the work awarded to Il, but
has been performing said contract for
nearly a year. and receiving the large
pecuniary benefits accruing therefrom.
The Brennan Construction Company can
not claim that the contract made with
the Crawford Paving Company is invalid
without casting doubt upon the validity
of its own contract. which was based
upon the identical division and award
which is claimed to be illegal.
IF the Brennan Company had consid-
cred at the time that this division and
award was made. that it was illegal. il
undoubtedly would have sought the aid
of court OF equity to enjoin the Com
missioners from making said division and
award.
ITO attempt to cancel the orders given
to the Crawford Paving Company. as sug-
gested by the Brennan Construction Com
pany. after the rights OF the Crawford
Company have become vested, after Il
has expended money to prepare for the
doing of the work so ordered, and also
in almost every instance. actually begun
the work, would not only subject the
Crawford Paving Company 10 great loss
but would render the District liable for
any damages caused by such unwarrant-
able action"
This brief. as was the one presented by
the attorneys for Brennan. has been sub
mitted by the Commissioners 10 the cor
poration counsel for an opinion.

Gets support OF Mayor Reyburn,

Charge OF Criminal Libel.

Philadelphia, June 4-State Senator
James P. McNichol. the political boss of
Philadelphia, was held for trial to-day on
charge Of criminal libel preferred by
Max Kaufman. secretary to Mayor John
E. Reyburn.
Sensational testimony was given at The
hearing by d. Clarence Gibboney. secre-
tary Of the Law and order Society. in
which he said that McNichol had con-
fessed 10 him that the other leaders OF
the Republican organization had bribed
the late mayor. Samuel H. Ashbridge:
that when ex-Mayor John Weaver was
district attorney. with his knowledge the
jury which tried Samuel Salter for ballot
box stuflng was fixed" and that
Weaver had been elected by A1cNichol
and the other leaders organizing the
crooks TO turn in and help elect him.
In retaliation. McNichol late tonight
issued a warrant for the arrest Of Mr..
Gibboney on the charge OF criminal libel
and another warrant for Kaufman for
perjury.
Taking McNichors side. Mayor Reyburn
to-day dismissed Kaufman.
McNichOI Makes Charges.
McNichol had his hearing before Magis-
trate German on charges growing out OF
a speech In which he declared that he had
paid $4,000 10 Kaufman in October. 1906
believing him TO be an agent OF Gibboney
He alleged that the money was paid TO
defray the expenses Of an investigation
OF protected vice. The purpose was TO dis
credit the Weaver administration on the
eve OF the November election in which
the Republican organization was defeated
by the refOrmeTs.
McNichol charges that the work was
not done by Gibboney and he never got
his $4,000 back. Gibboney denied that he
had authorized any one to negotiate with
McNichol. and Kaufman denied that he
had ever received the money from Nc
Nichol. McNichol said he paid the money
in three installments. OF $1,000 5000, and
$4,000.
