CONTRIBUTED TO BOTH PARTIES.

~ CCORDlNG to the testimony at the New
York graft inquiry the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company played no favorites when max
ing contributions to the campaign funds of the
political parties. The contributions were not al
ways as large for one committee as for the other
but no matter which side won, it would be under
obligations TO the Metropolitan Railway Company
Mr. H. H. Vreeland, formerly president of the
Street Railway Company, and once the right hand
man of William Q. Whitney and Thomas F. RYAN
as witness before the graft inquiry committee
testified that during campaign the company
contributed TO the Republican State Committee
$4,000 and TO the Democratic Committee Sl7, 500
Probably the larger contribution TO the Repub-
licans was owing TO the belief that they would
win. Not only that but according TO Mr. Vree-
land the corporation contributed 10 the fund of
every candidate for Office. the Prohibitionists not
excepted, although the witness admitted that the
contributions to the third party candidates we're
made personally by him as he was a Prohibition
list. On many points connected with the contr-
buttons Mr.. Vreelsnds mind blank.
The disclosures at the present inquiry are really
nothing new, for II has long been known that
the big corporations in New York as a matter
OF custom have contributed to the campaign
funds OF both parties. Out of these contributions
are made up the jack pots which are divided among
the members of the Legislature or those with po-
litical influence
How long is this sort of thing to continue? No
wonder the machine leaders of both parties of
New York are opposed TO the direct primary law,
which would lessen their control and perhaps put
an end to Jack Pots and the Black Horse cav
airy besides breaking up the bipartisan scheme of
legislation
1t is the hope OF putting end TO such condi-
ions as those disclosed by the testimony before
he graft hunting committee, that has inspired
Colonel Roosevelt TO plunge into the political fight
'f New York, and in so doing he should have the
support Of the patriotic people of that common
wealth
