MAGAZINE DEF|ES
WALL-sT. CROWD
Big Interests Are Making Every
Effort To Ruin Hampton's, Bat
1t Sticks To Principle.

NEW YORK, Feb. THAT there
are only three magazines In the Unit.
ed States that are not Susceptible to
Wall-st. control" as a result OF the
efforts of the interests to stop muck
raking, was the statement made to
day by BENJAMIN b. Hampton, maya
zine publisher. One OF these. he said
was his own publication, Hamptons
Magazine, and OF the others one Is q
weekly Hampton also asserted that
because he has refused to refrain
from publishing articles attacking the
big corporations every effort is being
made to ruin him.
Constantly increasing pressure
has been brought to bear on US to
compel us to change our policy since
wallst. started its attempt to corner
the magazine market and organize
the biggest OF all trusts" said Hamp
ton today First this took the form
of withdrawal OF advertising. That
failing to be effective, we have been
threatened in various ways. A few
months ago we were notified that II
we printed an article relative to a
certain great corporation the presi
dent OF that corporation would Make
trouble for US with our stockholders,
We printed the article. Within a
month various magazines and news
papers and News Bureaus began to
attack our stock.
About this time we were advised
that No bank with Wallst. connec'
tons, would have anything TO do with
this corporation so long as IL remain
ed under its present management
Also stockholders advised us that
they had been approached, apparent
ly by agents OF Wall-st. brokerage
houses, who endeavored to secure
their proxies TO vote at the meeting
LAS an illustration of what can be
done the current issue OF Hampton's
Magazine Is being held up on the
news stands The Union News Co,
because the magazine contains an
article that offended Standard OIL, has
ordered its agents not to sell II. The
magazine lies on the stands. but the
agents have their orders not 10 dis
pose OF II and when Feb. 20 comes
the copies will be returned unsold."
Official denials from Morgan a Co
that that firm was trying to get q
"strangle hold" on the undertaking
magazines were received with amuse
ment by Wall-st. today. The reason
was that, the denial admitted the chief
allegation In the matter. namely that
Thomas w. Lamont, the newest part
ner In the big International banking
concern, was financially interested In
the Crowell Company which has just
bought the American Magazine. The
denial therefore was regarded merely
as the usual diplomatic one.

than with a progressive candidate
said the New England senator, with
frankness.
COR win with a progressive candi-
date?" pursued the man from the
west
"You will never get the chance"
replied the representative OF Special
Privilege.
But that is not the universal an
swer Defeat is not a pleasant pros
pect for any politician. To fight for
the nomination OF man predestined
to defeat does not enthuse even
Tawney or a Hitchcock. There are
scores of lame ducks serving In this
congress who blame their defeat on
their party regularity. and hold the
party's tftuIar leader responsible.
These men want success; they want
to get back into power and do not
want to wait four or eight years for
a Democratic administration TO show
what IL can do before getting back.
They look at the victory OF the pro-
gressives I'm Wisconsin and In all pro-
gressiye states and learn the simple
lesson that standpatism means defeat
and progressivism means success.
They begin to wonder IL II Is not time
to trim their sails to the prevailing
winds instead OF waiting for the
winds to change, and they are won
dering IL Il might not be well to name
some popular man like LaFollette,
Roosevelt or Pinchot, on the chance
that such a nomination might avert
the sure- calamity and show the way
into green fields again.
And this progressive league has set
tied II. II II were not previously GER
tain that TAFT would be defeated II
renominated, the organization OF the
progressive league has made II so.
Here is organized detection In the
party---a league of irreconcilables war
ring on the popular side and every
man ready to go to the last ditch to
defeat the nomination and election OF
Taft.
The political weatherwise shake
their heads.
: You notice that the men who con-
troll the delegates. are not running to
their newspaper friends to tell them
about resolutions indorsing Taft for
another term.
To tell the truth, even the political
weatherbeaten agent or Special Prfvi-
lege is a bit shy OF this Taft renomina-
ton business. He Is disposed to hold
OF and see what can be done. Many
Of his kind will be found announcing
that IL Is too early yet to talk about
the presidency and that IL will be
time enough next year. But the thing
which really makes him pause Is that
question:
Shall II be Taft and sure defeat. or
a progressive candidate with chance
TO win?
