RELATIONS OF HITCHCOCK
 WITH PIPE LINE LEASES

Washington, Sept. 26-Secretary Of the Interior Garfield today made a statement concerning relations or TOT noar Secretary Hitchcock with the ls- sue of leases authorizing the Prairie On and Gas Company to lay pipe lines tbrougb Indian lands in Oklahoma
 The records of his department, ne decIared show very clearly that Secre- tarv Hitchcock simply compiled with an act of Congress authorizing the construction of pipe lines and that no where, he declared, is there any record or other evidence that the President al any time either over-ruled MT. dltch- cock or was at variance with him in the course he purSueu III Nh0 40'
 of these permits.
 Mr Garfield declared that the depart ment had never discriminated against nor in favor of any person or corpora tion in the granting of these leases. and that the Prairie oil and Gas Com many was dealt with exactly as were others who applied for the right 10 lay pipe lines. About twenty permits 10 iay pipe lines have been granted by the department in connection with the Indian lands in Oklahoma. In no case, he said. had there been any interfer- ence with the laws of Oklahoma.
 Secretary Garfield added:
 "The statement of Governor Has kell that he protested against any action of the interior department. im- plying that the department was at tempting to grant a franchise in op- position to rights of the state of | oklahoma, is untrue for no such pro- test was ever received nor was the in- terior department attempting to take any such action
 Secretary Loeb also stated that the l company had been granted no privi- | leges which any other company would not had have obtained. The President | had nothing to say regarding Senator ] Foraker's statement

RIDICULE FOR TAFT
BRYAN HOLDS OPPONENT UP TO
 SCORN.
Attacks Republicans for Their AIli- ance With Coporations--Greeted By Great Crowds in Illinois
 And Wisconsin.

Milwaukee. Wis. Sept 26-Paying his first visit to Wisconsin during the present campaign, W. J. Bryan, fol- lowing closely on the heels of his re- publican opponent. William H. Taft, tonight in speech here to a audience assembled in River View rink, cont lnued his attacks on the Republican platform and held Mir. Taft up to ridi- cule for not being In sympathy with the principals enunciated by the Chi caRo convention.
 He dwelt at some length on the labor blanks of the Denver platform and justified them on the ground that justice to the workingman demanded remedial legislation towards this class. He also discussed the targ. publicity of campaign contributions and the election of senators by vote of the peo- pie and made a strong plea for the cratic nominee for Governor as well as for the success of the Democratic congressional ticket on the ground that a democrat congress would be necessary in order to carry out the policies of a democratic platform.
 He also spoke for a short time to a big crowd at Kosciuske Park and also tO the HlSEShdubS anu hAoAuAoS UT SS Association.
 On his way here from Chicago, Mir. Bryan talked briefly at Woodstock. Harvard Junction and Caledonia, Iiui- nois and at Beloit. and Janesville Wis, at all of which places he was greeted by large and enthusiastic crowds. At several other points, he sh ook hands with numbers of people.
 The employees of the overal factory at Beloit presented the democratic candidate with a pair of specially made overhalls bearing his name worked in the cloth.
 The trip to this city from Madison was made in a special train, provided by Mayor S. Rose, of Milwaukee, who was Mir. Bryan's host while here.
 A feature of the visit to Madison was the presence in the hall where MT. Bryan spoke of United States Sena- tor Robert M. Lafollette, who occupied a prominent seat among the audience. and whom in reply to a direct ques. tion by one of his admires, if Mir. Bryans argument on publicity of cam paign contributions before elections was not alright" responded yes, 1t is"
 Mir. Bryan left by a late train for St. Paul. where he IS due early to- morrow morning. While in that city he will confer with Governor Johnson over the political situation in the Northwest.

Close presidential elections are gen

the last half of that month. But II
October this year makes good the
promise OF September, william
Jennings Bryan is going to the Whlte
House.
When the Denver convention ad-
iourned hundreds of good practical
politicians felt that Bryan bad been
nominated to LEAD forlorn hope.
This impression has grown weaker
with every day that has passed until
now, when news from many parts OF
the country strengthens the notion
that it is Taft who is leading the
forlorn hope.
Republican discussions In Iowa,
Wisconsin, Illinois and West Virginia
spell nothing good for Taft. The ex-
pIoitation OF Mr.. Speaker Cannon's
record by the democratic congress
sional campaign committee and the
remarkable exhibition he has made
OF himself IN his attack on Bryan
have accomplished wonders in teach
ing the people what kind Of con-
gress they have when the republicans
control the house OF representatives.
The remarkable demonstrations
which attended Bryan's trip across
Ohio do not look we'll for Taft In his
own state The cry OF distress which
comes from republican leaders In
Chicago and the deliberate business
opinion of Mr.. James J. Hill have
their origin In the knowledge that
the tide of sentiment Is turning
strong toward Bryan in all the agri-
cultural states OF the middle west
and the northwest.
The republicans may raise big
slush fund and rush hurrah CAM
paign all through October, but there
is hard common sense In the Amer
lean people which sees the difference
between the false pretenses Of the
Chicago platform and the honest
purposes boldly and plainly proclaim
ed by the democratic party at Den
yer.

AT this distance from New York
a great many OF us are Inclined to
admire Mr.. Hughes, because, as far
as we have been abe to read bis REC

him as high and fearless type OF

Possibly this comes from the hui
man weakness that we are always
willing to see the other fellows regu-
lated and reformed, although. when
II comes home to us, we prefer to be
let alone.
In New York it Is admitted by the
great body of republicans that Gov

1t Is asserted that he is either too
far behlnu the times or too far In
advance of them, and there appears
to loo a question just which 1t Is.
