neIius N. Bliss, treasurer of the re- publican national committee. This scandal began to be precipi tated some years ago and at that time it was openly charged that Standard Oil money had been used in the campaign of 1904. Some reply emanated from the White House re- flecting upon MT. Bliss, who there upon made a hurried trip to Wash l ington and called upon Mir. Roosevelt. | He reminded him that he himself was a practical man and stated that be- | fore he accepted the treasurership of l the committee he had eXacted a letter 1 from Mir Roosevelt containing in | structions to the duties he was eX | pected to perform. 'I have that let l ter yet" said Mir Bliss, and in case l there are further reflections upon my conduct of that office l shall give the | letter to the public MT Roosevelt said Judge Ainsworth, assured him
 that there would be no further reflec- | tions from the White House
 MT. Harlan was then introduced.
 He begged the permission of the ladies
 to remove his coat. adding that he all ways felt like fighting when he dis cussed the issue that was taking him about the country He said that he
 might say some things that would provoke battle on the part of the ad- herents of MT. Roosevelt and he
 wished to be ready.
 Mr Harlan paid a tribute to the
 beauty of Phoenix which he was now
 visiting for the first time As he
 came from the depot admiring the paved streets and the beautiful build
 ings an enthusiastic native directed
 his attention to another matter in
 proof of the supremacy of Phoenix
 which he said was the only town in the United States that would have
 two shows the same week. the first
 being the presence of Mir Roosevelt and the latter Barnum and Baileys attraction. MT Harlan said that he corrected the native. telling him that after all Phoenix would not be so blessed. That while Barnum and
 Bailey had the greatest show on earth, MT. Roosevelt had no show on earth.
 Mir. Roosevelt. said MT Harlan had
 made himself the chief issue of the campaign and had asserted that he
 was the only man in the United , States fit for the job. Four years } hence he might entertain the same notion and still four years hence. so that his reign should be made per petual if there should be enough peo- pie to believe that he was really the } only man fit for the job. Who would succeed him." asked MT Harlan in case of his death?"
 , He can have no expectation of } election declared the speaker; he can have no other purpose than to \ See how many votes he can take
 from the republican party to which
 he owes everything he is He has ? been constantly in office for the last l thirty years except within the last t four years Every honor has been l heaped upon him. On his return from Africa he was welcomed as one of a new species, the first citizen of the r world He was the first of our Elder Statesmen, rank which had hither- l to been recognized only in Japan" l Further on, MT. Harlan declared
 that MT Roosevelt had been grub l staked' by Perkins and Munsey and { that Perkins was expecting his share = of any profits that might be derived e from the enterprise. He recalled that 2 in 1904 Mir. Perkins as custodian of e the funds of the New York Life In- 0 sOrance company had turned into the e campaign fund $748,0OO of the money q of widows and orphans and that after s the election, he had applied for his n share of the profits which came tc
 him in the shape of the abandonment t of the proposed suit against the liar e vester trust
 f MT. Harlan charged MT. Roosevelt
 1 xI-it ok I<,,,, 2 of Mckinley, and in conclusion Inc e denounced him as "a pretender and g ,t play actor, the boom of whose thir. g teen-inch gun is only stage thunder s He appealed to the democrats tc Y cast their votes for Taft. for said he IT Roosevelt is q menace to the coun d try. There is no possibility of hi

 ,r The appearance of MT. Bede was tn n signal of vOciferous and continued ap L. plause. His remarks were, in the ma in ture of things, disconnected a serie le of humorous sallies. He had ascertain 1r ed from an experiment made by MI
 Harlan that there were a good mar l es upon he proceeded to pacify them i T. advance. He declared that no demo r, crats in the audience would be abused

 al Mir. Bede declared that he was con nt additionally opposed to the Bull Noes m or another third party This country ld said he, needs only two great partie: of one in and the other almost in, an w trying to get in. We need one part 7d to transact the business of the countr es and the other to watch it.
