Thss TAFT Letter.

The Richmond Dispatch says "the
Republican campaign appears to be
resolving itself into TheoeoEe Roose-
yelt. Mr.. Taft is silent or ineffec-
tive. Mr. Hitchcock is mysterious
and engrossed with card indexes.
Only,the Sycamore Of Opster Bay is
hysterically at work. It can not be
said that his work is eficacious OF
happy. The two-months-old letter
Of Mr.. Taft which he gave to the
press on Monday was made public,
Mr.. Roosevelt explains, in view OF
Mr.. Hearst's disclosures about Sen.
ator Foraker ~ This is a singular
reason for giving out such a docu'
ment. The Taft letter indicates
that an association with Foraker
was q surrender he would not make
even to secure the presidency. This
was noble but it was IN July. Later
on. Mr.. Taft appears to have
thought better of it. In, August he
and Foraker shook hands before
:, 900 people at a G. A. R. review.
The old en1nity was patched, Fora
ker's great ability as a speech ma
ker we're to be utilized in the cam
paign. What had become of the
matter of principle then? How
is it creditable to Mr.. Taft, holding
the opinions expressed in this letter
to have made peace with him and
accepted his aid?'.'

They Are Scared.

Bryan's popularity is proving too
severe a strain for the nerves of the
Republican leaders. AS the Augusta
Chronicle says "Mr. Taft is scared,
and Mr.. Roosevelt, whose candidate
Mr.. Taft is. is scared and the whole
Republican party. which MIR. Roose-
Aelt dragooned into nominating his
man Friday instead Of its own, is
scared. And the worst scared man
in the crowd seems Mr.. Roosevelt
himself. He is no longer the Bonn
bastic Furioso he once was but COOS
as gently as any dove.
"In his last campaign document
after painting Mr.. Taft in all the
colors of the rainbow. he plaintively
concludes thus: 81 appeal to all good
citizens, all high minded men who
love their country for the sake of
their country, to put such man at
it's head" The grammar and the
rhetoric Of this adjuration are so
very poor that a course Of reform
ed composition would do its author
no harm, but leaving form and
coming to substance the astounding
fact appears that somebody or
something has got Mr.. Roosevelt so
scared that he has gone to praying.
He is down on mis- knees, crying,
Save my boy.
''He is now emitting campaign
document in Mr.. Taft's favor every
day. He published one on Sept. 20
and on Sept. 21 sends forth another.
In the former he said: 1T is urgent
ly necessary from the standpoint Of
the public interest to elect Mr.. Taft
and in the latter he makes the heart
breaking appeal in his fav or men
toned above. In twenty-four hours
he has abandoned argument for
entreaty. Looks as if the Roosevelt
panic Of 1907 had struck in. and Mr..
r. has a panic Of his own just
now"

Among those who haverecently drop
ed out Of the independence party
is John T. Cronin. of New York.
secretary to Attorney General Jack
son, of that State. In quitting the
Hearst organization Cronin ad-
dresses a long letter to the founder
and proprietor, in which he declares
that fair play was not accorded to
him and asserts that "this movement
conceived in a large spirit of Dem
ocratic sympathy with the masses,
has degenerated under the selfish
manipulation of yourself andss your
so-called advisers, until it has finally
ended in this bowling farce Of q
Presidential ticket" Cronin then
charges Hearst with waging a subsl-
died campaign on money furnished
by the Republicans. and he describes
an alleged conference between a
representative of Hearst and an
agent of Charles P. Taft, in which a
proposition for the Republican can
didate's brother to furnish funds
for Hearst's national campaign was
considered. We agree with the
Charleston Evening Post that it is
not worth anybody's while to follow
up such charges against the Hearst
party, else, no doubt, as much
might be made out of this as has
been made out of Hearst's revela-
tions concerning Foraker and Has
kell. But what boots it all? Hearst
doesn't mind being muddied.

We have every reason to. believe
that McLaurin was properly and
generously supported" but that he
was unable to beat Tillmau is mat.
ter Of history. Senator Tillman SC
completely knocked McLaurin out
or the political box that he did not
even offer for. reelection when his
term in the Senate expired. The
editor of The Times and Democrat
was approached indirectly by a
friend of Senator McLaurin to sup.
port his new party, about the time
the last letter was written but of
course, he declined. 1t would have
been greatly to our financial interest
to have followed the fortunes of
Senator McLaurin as he was willing
to pay us we'll for helping along the
movement. Being a Democrat of
the old school, we SO informed the
Senator's friend and there the mat
ter dropped. Senator Tillman
placed South Carolina under fresh
obligations to him for unmasking
McLaurin.

No one but a man Of Hearst s
tastes would disturb the political
grave of the one time Senator Nc
Laurin. It is real ghoulish, as the
gentleman was long ago made q po.

tor Tillman. So why not let him rest
in peace?

A Daniel Come to Judgment.

The true inwardness of the So
called commercial democracy move
ment launched some years ago in
this State by John L. McLaurin,
then a Senator in the United States
Senate from South Carolina, has
come to light by the publication OF
some letters that passed between
McLaurin and John D. Archbold,
vice-president and chief corruption
list of the Standard Oil Company. 1t
will be remembered that McLaurin
made a fierce attack on Senator
Tillman who soon put a quietas on
him. While carrying on that cam
paign McLaurin seems to have been
on most intimate terms with the
Standard Oil Company as the fol-
lowing letter from Archbold will
show:
26 Broadway. Dec. IL. 1901.
My dear Senator: have your
kind favor of yesterday. We
have, of course, noted your
disagreeable experience with T.
with the utmost interest. Think
you have done just right in not
being goaded by him into doing
foolish thing. / am greatly
interested in the suggestion of
the law practice, and will see
to it that it is kept in mind,
with the hope that something
may develop in which can be
of service to you in connection
Herewith.
With kind regards, l am, very
truly yours,
John D. Archbold.
Hon. John L. McLaurin,
Senate Chamber, Washington,
D. c.
Senator Tillman was the person
referred to as T., and the reference
was to the time Senator TillmaI
attacked Senator McLaurin in the
Senate Chamber, 1t will be seen
that Sedator McLanrin had the
sympathy of Standard Oil in the
encounter. as Archbold said I'VE
have, of course noted your recent
disagreeable experience with 7,
with the utmost interest. Arch
bold's letter was written in answer
to one from NcLsurin in which he
no doubt told all about his disagree'
able experience with Senator Till

The letter of Ex-senator &c
Laurin TO John D. Archbold, the
Standard Oil magnate, throws some
light on the so-called commercial
democracy campaign led by Nc
Laurin in this State some years
ago. The campaign was really in
the interest of Standard Oil and
other trusts.
ACCORDING to Mr.. Foraker, who
may be considered good authority,
Mr.. Taft, the Republican candidate
for President, likes the company Of
trust magr ates himself. Foraker
says only a month ago TAFT was &C.
cepting the hospitality Of several OF
the "malefactors of great wealth, "
~ Teddy would say.'But TAFT won't
do 50 any more. until aftsc election.

some that there is not a Republican
or Democrat who is trying to make
capital for his party out Of the dis
closures brougt to light by Hearst
who would trust the yellow rene

FORAKER is not the only oil poll

candidate by long odds. but he has
committed the objectionable sin OF
being found out" and, he has to
be sacrificed for the good Of the
party. So walk the plank aud look
