those who deal in baseball goods The
balls are all the same. the gloves they

cause after selecting one the player
uses it a long time. The clothes he
wears are of little importance. He

mittee are cry serious and cannot be
ignored. The bare denial of the Gov
ernor will not suffice. The democratic
party has for years been waging war
on predatory wealth and now jus.

the smell of Standard Oil upon its YES

accusations and all rules of evidence

not be satisfied to let the matter pass
with nothing more than a mere denial
on the part of the accused Mr.. Frank
Monnett. who is a republican that is
going to vote for Mr. Bryan, ought to

Mr.. Bryan has sealed the State of
New York during his speaking tour
through that state The democrats
have nominated a most excellent
ticket in that state and the party, for
the first time in many years is In a
state of perfect harmony. The class OF
democrats, who have for long while
been standing aloof, have taken of
their coats and are at work for Bryan.
Even that beloved disciple of Grover
Cleveland, Richard Olney, of Massa.
chusetts, has come out with enthu-
siasm for Bryan and the democratic
ticket.

Willie X. Hearst, the publis her OF
the New York York American has
been stirring the political pot to the
very bottom. In speech in Ohio last
Friday he read letters from Standard
Oil officials to Senator J. B. Foraker
showing that he had been in the pay
of that corporation since he has been
a member of the United States Senate
and that these relations still exist be-
tween him aud the Standard Oil which
are grossly improper and repulsive to
every man of self respecting character.
Candidate Taft and his leaders have
been beseeehing Foraker to make peace
with them and the Senator had agreed
to speak from the platform with Taft
at the great rally in Cincinnati this
week. When Willie Hearst let his
bomb 90 there was CONSERVATION
among the faithful. The question
that gave them the most concern was,
how to get Foraker of, who was to
"bell the cat,n and it was finally
agreed that Senator Murray Crane
should come from New York and do
the job which he did and very success
fully Foraker sent note to Taft de-
cling to speak much to the relief of the
whole party.
This state of affairs convinced Teddy
that it was up to him to rescue his
candidate from going down in the mall
strum with Foraker aad so on Mon
day he issued statement declaring
that Taft is cleaNof wrong doing and
was not tainted with the smell of coal
oil. This however is not the only man
who has received a clean bill of health.
Mr.. Paul Morton was given clear
snce ticket by Teddy while everybody
believes him guilty of breaking the
law.
But Willie Hearst did not stop with
Joseph Benson Foraker. He paid his
respects to Gov. g. N. Haskell, of Ok :
Iahoma, and Treasurer of the demo-
cratic National Committee. He charg-
ed that Haskell has been guilty CT Of
fering to Attorney General Monnett, of
Ohio, some years ago the small 81 M
of $4,000 of he would drop the prose
cution of the Standard Oil Company
in Ohio. Haskell vigorously denies
the charge but Hearst only reiteratt s
the charges and says he has positive
proof.
This Of course has caused no little
disturbance in the democratic organ :
cation. There is but one thing for the
party to do and that is require Haskell
to prove his innocense to once or TO
get down and out

[. Roosevelts writing to Mr. Bryan

M. Roosevelts writing to Mr. Bryan
says:

We made mistake last week in
stating the amount of money drawn
by our friend, Mr. e. G, Henshaw, as
deputy revenue collector at this p lace.
Mr.. Henshaw informs us that we were
toe high. That his salary has been but
$500 per year excepting during the
time that the revenue stamps were re-
quired on legal documents, as war
measure during and Immediately after
the Spanish American war, during
which time he drew $1,000 per year.
He states that be has been in that of
flee for II years. I his will bring the to-
tai amount he has drawn down TO
about two-thirds the amount we esti-

There has been very few republicans
who have drawn that much for party

Henshaw has been feeding from the
