REAL PUBLICITY

The Republican party refuses any
publicity OF campaign contributions
and expenditures. BY the Republican
congress IL has been refused; the Re-
publican national convention has re-
fused II.
The party which placed William II.
Taft in nomination has declared its
purpose TO keep in concealment as
heretofore the process OF frying the
fat" out OF corporations and monopo-
listic interests favored by the Repub
lican tariff and Republican legisla-
ton.
Now comes Candidate Taft and now
comes Treasurer Sheldon TO say that.
while recognizing the mandate OF their
party as TO the campaign, they will
yet make public the results OF the
customary fat-frying-after election!
This Is paltering with very seri.
Gus matter II is an evasion utterly
unworthy OF William II. Taft and to
which he cannot consent without sac
rificing the esteem in which his per.
sonal character is held by the Amer
lean people.

were Lord Bellingham the silent

chaffed with them about the scenes
In Cannon street
In due time Miss Hunt arrived, aud
as she was now an accepted member
OF the inner council they all drew up
their chairs to the table and proceed
ed 10 discuss Strong's plans.
These were definite and simple.
Langley was left TO hurry forward the
building OF the new airship as fast
as possible. and In this he was In
structed by Strong TO follow the meth
DDS OF secrecy which had been so sue
cessful in the case OF the building OF
the "Di."
That is to say, sections OF the ship
were TO be constructed In different
cities ready To be placed together a
few hours before the actual start
should be made.
The hull OF the airship. which
Strong decided should be called the
Victor, was 10 be built at Belfast. and
brought by sea to London. Discussing
the place from which the ascent
should be made, Strong at once DC
