MlTCHELLFOR SECOND PLACE
Indiana Delegate Favors Nomination
of Labor Leader.

VI .dUOI .CdOcfs
Lincoln, Neb., July w. H.
Hveroad of Columbus, Ind, who was
caller at the Fairview residence of
William J. Bryan, declared that he is
not for John w. Kern of his state for
vice president. John Mitchell should
be named, he thought, to prove to the
labor unions that the Democratic party
Is the true friend of labor.
"The Democratic party has always
been the friend of labor and with
strong anti-injunction plank In the
platform and John Mitchell for vice
president there could be no doubt
about this in the mind of any man."
said he. Il love Mr. Kern, as do all
the delegates from my state, but we
believe that Mr.. Bryan would have as
many votes from Indiana without him
as with him on the ticket"

Torreon, Mex, July 2.-Reports OF

have been greatly exaggerated. This

which have slight political significance
have been taken advantage of by
bands of poems to rob and pillage in
rural neighborhoods. The situation

Cabrera and
Contributions.

The charges that President Cabrera,
of Guatemala, contributed to the
Roosevelt campaign does not seem at
can states ere in a constant turmoil,
and that Cabrera could see that d
liberal donation 10 the party whose
success was assured after the nomina-
ton of Parker, would place the vic
torious administration under more or
less obligation, is more than likely.
Campaign contributions have long
been recognized as a means of insuF-
ing immunity from a political admins
tration, whether it has been in ward
politics or national diplomatic affairs.
The ward boss" contributes because
he expects something in return, the
placing of his 'heelers' in minor Of
fees, or greater rewards, according
to his position and power. The cor
porations give because they expect
privileges, and the right to operate
their business as they see fit, without
governmental interference.
This situation permits of no caviI-
ing. It is accepted by all as a condi-
ton that is the outcome of corruption
and graft.
If the ward "heeler" and the corpo-
ration can thus corrupt those to whom
the enforcement of the law is entrust
ed, then why should not foreign SOW
eminent seek to better its reIatiOn
with the administration in power?
1t matters not whether Cabrera has
received special privileges or not.
Other contributors have been thrown
down" before, and will be again. Ca
brera may deny, the Republican cam
paign managers may deny, yet so prob
able does the whole affair seem, that
the American people will make their
own dcision in the matter, and that
decision viii be based upon the pOlitI-I
cal situation as it is known 10 be in
the United States.
These charges coming on ton of
the Chicago conventions refusal to-
declare for publicity of campaign con-
tribJtions. and the action of CONGRESS.
controlled by the republicans, to pass
an act compelling the campaign COM
mittees to publish their contributions,
