POPULAR DEMAND"
OR MONEY WHICH?
Cost Of Roosevelt Boom Exceeds
That Of Last National Campaign.

The financial hackers of Theodore
Roosevelt have expended to date near
ly $1,O00,000 in an endeavor to renomi-
nate the former president for third
term. How this money is used and
where it comes from are of interest to
all citizens.
In Oklahoma the charge has been
made that the Roosevelt managers
paid $40 vote to delegates to conven-
tions This is the state where Mr.,
Roosevelt said there was a genuine
primary"
The same crew has since worked
Kansas and Nebraska and is now in
Arkansas, as witness the following
telegram:
Roosevelt managers are using money
under the guise of paying wages to work
ers, another name for bribery.
In Pennsylvania, instead of standing
at the polls and handing each Roose
Welt voter Eve dollar bill, due bills
were issued calling for this amount
which we're collected at headquarters
when countersigned by the district
leaders. 1t is estimated that 100000
was expended in this manner. This
would reach" 10000 voters.
! In New York county the Roosevelt
managers expended a quarter of mil
lion dollars. One district leader paid
/ $4,000 out of his own pocket in his
own district on promise Of reimburse
ment besides what headquarters sent
! him.
In Chicago two men contributed ST.
| 600 for use in one district on primary
day. and 5000 was offered eight pre-
cnct captains TO desert Taft
| Where is the money coming from?
! George w. Perkins, director of the
| International Harvester company and
of the United States Steel corporation,

ever harmed. but. on the contrary. de-
Tended as president and defends now.

duty of Republicans toward such
nlatform and toward a candidate for
the nomination on such q platform IS
therefore plain.
"The president is in this fight to
stay. He will be the nominee OF the
Republican convention at Chicago. In
this connection it must not be forgot
ten that he was nominated four years
ago without the votes of the states OF
Illinois. Pennsylvania, Indiana, New
York or Wisconsin. In this contest ne
is already assured of an overwhelming
majority of the delegates from Indiana
and New York and of large number
of delegates in Pennsylvania, none OF
whom voted for him in zoos.

Roosevelt Attacks Penrose, but axes

In Pennsylvania, in IN attempt to di-
vert attention from his socialistic Co
lumbus tO9 speech and from William
Finn of Pittsburgh, his Pennsylvania
manager. Theodore Roosevelt attacked
President Taft and Senator Boies Pen
rose. The fact is that there Is not a
character in public life today who has
the notorious record of "Old BIZ
Finn. and Roosevelt did not dare men
ton his name In Pittsburgh.
Until 1901 Finn was the boss" or
Pittsburgh. He was run out of power
by the decent people of that commu-
nity. In the few years he "bossed
Pittsburgh Finn received from men he
put in public Office contracts aggregat-
ing more than sol 100000, as is shown
by the public records.
In 1895 Finn attempted to make
contract with Matthew Stanley quay,
United States senator, which he wrote
out in his own hand, a copy of which
is stul in existence. In this document
Finn bound himself to deliver to Quay
the votes of all Pittsburgh and Ale
gheny county legislators ana congress-
men and all delegates to state and ma
tional conventions. in return for which
Quay was to protect Finn in his prl-
vate and political business In the leg
islature of the state.
The proposition was so rotten that
even Quay turned It down.
This is the man Theodore Roosevelt

has resurrected into political life under
the plea of Let the people rule
