TIMES CORN CONTEST
Don't Forget the Committee
Meets Tomorrow Morning
in The Court House
James S. Sherman Where He Is
Known.

"It need hardy be remarked that |
James Schoolcraft Sherman will not |
be candidate for reelection in 1912. |
He has played himself out of the po-
litical game'-so said a prominent !
man this morning. To continue-''We |
are informed that President Taft has
decided to repudiate Sherman because
of his trickery at the New York State
Republican committee meeting" Eve
wonder, however, if this is to be in
turn as speedily recanted as the
elimination of Aldrich, Ballinger and
Cannon two weeks ago.
"Why should any one be surprised
that Sherman should continue to do
what he has been known to do all
his life?' During his twenty years
in Congress his record fails to ex-
hibit a single act or effort against the
interests of the predatory corpora
weight Jim because he killed that
clause of the intended Pure Food Law
which provided for the labelling of
packages Of food products with their
true weight: it would have hurt his
vested interests in a cannery COM
pany, forsooth." I'm debate upon that
clause, Sherman said-1 take it that
| it is not the desire of this commit
tee to change trade conditions; to i'm
pose upon those who have been inter-
ested in particular line of industry
for decades, provision which is
onerous. Certainly it is not the de-
sire of this committee to. so legis-
flate!'"
'rIn his home district he was known
as Ice Trust jim because he guided, a
icombination that put the price of ice
beyond the reach of the poor" "Once
he was called Land loving Jim be-
cause he was one of a group who
tried to obtain certain lands in New
Mexico at less than their value and
was charged with introducing a bill
in Congress to legalize the graft
"Why should any one be surprised
trick a Taft? What else has he been
doing for months, down in Washing.
ton, but tricking Taft and playing
handy man. as ever to the Special
Interests along with Cannon, Aldrich
and their pals?" Taft, for the mo-
ment, was properly indignant, but
there was no special reason for Sher
man to suppose he would be really
angered" after the action of the
New York State Committee, Sherman
! spent day with Taft at Beverly. He
came forth gai1y, declaring boastfully
that his selection over Roosevelt re
buked him privately, Sherman would
not have seemed so gay" mo Taft's
ear has caught the rumblings of pub
lie disapprova1 and he hastens to re
, Ipudiate Friend Sherman, forsooth!'
tTaft is surrounded by people who
side track utterly, the hoarse babe
the nation who are proclaiming in nc
uncertain tone, their battle-cry-'DowI
with Special Privilege!'''
Some days back Wickersnam was
lrepudiated, after he had been sent te

both Taft and Ballinger as ever.

speak are saying such things as abov,
quoted, we on the street may vel
take eart and work with redoublet
determination to effect the actual over

of Special Privilege.
