TAEr BuREAu REpuDIATED.

TAFT BUREAU REPUDlATED.
Once more the White House press
bureau has been forced to back track.
II was like this: Franklin A. Shotwell
of Omaha, secretary OF the Progress
i've Republican league of Nebraska,
came to Washington, had talk with
the President, and was quoted by the
White House press bureau as saying
that Nebraska was strong for Taft
for denomination and reelection" Now
II happens that the league which Mr.,
Shotwell was made to appear as
speaking for, is "strong" against
Taft instead of being for him. When
the officials of the Nebraska organi-
cation heard of Shotwell's statement
they promptly passed resolutions re-
pudating IL, and wired them to Wash
ington. The fact Is the real progress
i've republicans stand as unit against
Tafts denomination, and every indi-
cation ia that If he secures the nomi.
nation again they will permit him to
so down in defeat. Then they will
make an attempt to reorganize the
republican party.

(By Tavenner)

Washington, July t2.-President
Taft will be opposed by progressive re-
publicans for a denomination on the
ground that he is still the mouth
piece of Aldrich and the great law
defying Industrial corporations OF
the country.
If proof was necessary to snow
that the old alliance between Tart
and Aldrich still exists, the President
himself furnished it on two notable
occasions within the last couple OF
weeks when he went out of his way to
indorse the Aldrich near-centralbank
scheme which is designed to give
Wall Street absolute control of the
money and credit of the United
States. and thus make 1t the absolute
master of business and industry
Progressive republicans contend
that If the President should be re-
nominated and reelected he would
continue to be the complaisant help
mate of schemers like Aldrich, who
are striving constantly to make the
great masses of the public little more
than the serfs of the few men
who compose the great financ-
ial combination, of which j. Pierpont
Morgan and the. Standard Oil capital
lists are the most conspicuous fig
ures." And Mr.. Taft now publicly
confirms the fears of the progress
ives.
Therefore the only thing left for
the public to conclude is that Mr..
Tafts reelection would necessarily
place back in control of Congress
the same class of men who were
swept out by the indignation of the
public in the last election.
Mr.. Taft is but the mouthpiece
of Aldrich in all his speeches III
which he advocates the Aldrich
monetary scheme as being the
most important" legislation before
the public is evident on the face Of
things. For MIR Taft has himself
been frank enough to say that he
knows nothing about the Aldrich
plan that he has not studied the
financial question, and that he has
taken his convictionss from those
who have told him the Aldrich plan
should be adopted.
Taft's strong endorsement Of the
Aldrich scheme will make it more nee
essary than ever for the progressives
within his party to prevent his nomi-
nation. 1t also means that the Aid
rich scheme will be made one of the
big campaign issues of 1912. The
democrats desire no better issue. The
scheme Aldrich has cooked up gives
to Morgan the power of life and
death over business and industry
For the life of both is credit, and
the control of credit Taft would place
absolutely in Morgan's hands.

DEMOCRATS MAKING HONEST

chief clerk of the House, just made
public, shows that during the month
of June saving. of SS,56l.9O was
effected as result of the abolshing
of useless offices. This item, which
does not include the big reduction on
the police force which the senate has
not yet concurred in but will approve
shortly, means saving of $lO2,742,SO

This is not a stupendous sum, 1t is
true, but the spirit is in striking con
