bullets to kill George NJ. Roberts and
family, John Hurst. a miner and bust

The latest attempt on Roberts life was
made Monday morning, and only the
presence of two detectives of the city
agency prevented the Roberts family
from being blown up. That was the
fourteenth attempt on the life OF
Roberts.
A year ago Hurst was arrested for
trying to blow UP the Roberts residence
but was released. Previous to that
shots had been fired through the wins
dows of the Roberts home. About six
months ago an internal machine was
placed near his gate and on Chris tmas
an attempt was made to blow up the
house but it failed. Since Christmas
the house has been constantly watched
by private detectives. Last Monday
night Hurst was caught with four
sticks of dynamite on the front porch
of the Roberts home. Hurst denies

the close surveillance which they have
adopted in his case. He arrived from
Havana recently under -uard Of three
United States marines. The day be-
fore landing they noticed him walking
in a peculiar manner. Removing his
shoes. they found in one of them a
six-chambered revolver, which he had
managed to Secrete in some manner.
Additional precautions were then
taken to prevent his accommodating any
further stock of dangerous weapons.

tranfer office and power to ais favor
lite cabinet minister, and his spear is
to have d fellow. The pretense Is
that the fight must go on under the
leader designated by him until the
last foe shall have surrendered or
lies inglorious in the dust The nomi-
nation of mis- would-be successor was
largely accomplished by the use of
official patronage and coarse machine
methods and has delighted the chief
apostle of strenuosity, and. at the
same time. has not perturbed the con-
science OF the one-time civil service
reformer, now the boss, an adept in
the bestowal of public plumber and
forgetful of all his resounding moral
commonplaces. No fair-minded Amer
ican could read the daily accounts
of the recent political doings at Chi
cago without feeling modification
and regret: modification that the
president should have so abused ais
power in debating to a great party
his choice of a successor, and regret
that that party should have submit
ted so cowardly to humiliation that
was as manifest as it was degrading.
What are the policies which con
stitute the capital of the Republican
party in this campaign and that are
relied upon to support the candida
cy of Mr. Taft?
To recall Democratic platforms,
speeches, and measures is to convince
any man that many of the presidents
public utterances were derived from
an avowed familiarity with the teach
ings of our party His utterances
that are Democratic have given him
his only claim to be a reformer and
have contributed more than all else
to the popularity he has enjoyed.
The heir and the party are committed
to "unfaltering adherence to the
policies" of the president, What are
these policies and what are the
achievements of president and party?
Campaign Contributions.
II must be admitted that the Re
publican cannot long survive if fraud
and corruption become material fact
ors In our elections. No man has
said more than the president about
the corruption of elections. You He-
cali his message to congress in De
cember. 1905. where he said that:
ct has been only too clearly shown
that certain men at the head of these
large corporations take but small
note of the ethical distinction be-
