York. He is going to treat all the State machines
alike, letting them all alone.
This is a curious defense. Governor Wilson mad
the determined opposition Of the worst Democratic
machines in the country, just as Colonel Roosevelt
had Of the worst Republican machines.
Wilson was fought by the machines in New York.
Ohio Indiana illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland,
Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee-aImost everywhere.
Roosevelt was fought by the Republican ma
chimes in New England, New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, lllinois-ter-
ally eve. ywhere save few Progressive States where
the organizations had been captured by the progress
sive side of the party. In all of these the DID, de-
posed organization opposed him with all vgor.
So, Roosevelt and Wilson stood on parity. Each
had been fought bitterly by the bosses and machines
What do they do about it, now, as candidates for
President?
Roosevelt is slashng away at the bosses every
where; Republican and Democratic alike.
Wilson has given out assurance that he will not
interfere in State affairs; that is, that the machines
will not be interfered with
Roosevelt is running for the destruction Of boss
ism and machine politics.
Wilson is running for the electoral votes neces-
sary to make him President.
That is the exact difference.
Wilson is keeping hands off the BOSSES Roose.
welt is getting his fists them just as often and
hard as possible.
Most important of all developments in the CAM
paign is the fact that the people have discovered
this situation. They'll do the rest.

CLEAR, ISN'T 1T?

This is the way of it, as we understand the logic
of Archbolds testimony.
Standard Oil contributed toward the election Of
Roosevelt in 1904 with the understanding that the
contribution should be considered as guaranteeing
them immunity from any hostile acts upon the part
of Roosevelts Administration.
This promise was not given them by Roosevelt,
neither by Cortelyou, chairman Of the Republican
national committee. Neither had they any positive
knowledge that Roosevelt was ever told of tine con-
ditions under which they contributed the money. The
amount Standard Oil gave was $l25,000.
They say man now dead approached them and
asked for more money, but they declined to give it.
Roosevelt was elected by the greatest majority
given candidate. After he assumed power
it is maintained that he became very angry at the
Standard Oil corporation, not because it had not
given him anything, but because it had given him
only $l25,0OO; not because Standard Oil had de-
feated him. but because it had helped elect him.
Then to get even with Standard Oil for giving
him $l25,000, Roosevelt opens up persecution of
that company, while he does not molest other cor
porations which did not give him anything!
All this be proved by Cornelius N Bliss and
Henry H. Rogers-both dead!

BRIBERY AND PATRONAGE.

Senator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, associated
with Boies Penrose in the noble work of purifying
politics, wants to know if anybody has any nforma-
ton regarding the use of patronage money in be-
half of President Taft at the Chicago convention.
Where mas Senator Reed been in the past six
weeks?
Since June 25 the day of Taft's nomination, the
Senate has received more than 500 nominations
from President Taft. These have covered nearly
every branch of Government service assistant pay
masters in the navy receivers of public moneys
registers of land Offices collectors of customs COL
ectors of internal revenue, United States marshals
United States attorneys United States judges, ap-
praisers of merchandise, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Assistant Secretary Of the Interior, and
above all, some $50 postmasters.
An examination Of this list Of appointments will
disclose many things.
very great number of them were appointments
that had been long overdue and had been held up
until after the Chicago convention.
The majority of them were given to Southern
States, whence came the delegates who, Penrose
says persuaded to remain loyal to Taft by ap-
peals to their honesty and integrity-and to States
where the fight for delegates was very bitter.
In Ohio alone the President passed out Jobs
aggregatng 100000, and it was made very plain
that only those who helped steal the six Ohio dele
gateS-at-laT9e were III on the QlSUlDuton
Among the States especially favored with ap-
pontmentS since the theft Of Tafts nomination are
Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Texas Vr-
sna, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia. Arkansas,
Missouri New Mexico, and Washington.
In order to make room for some Of these, Federal
oficeholders who have been making splendid official
records and who had held Offices for long time were
removed for no other reason than their refusal to
indorse Taft and the methods used to obtain his
nomination. States where such removals were made
are Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, New Mex
ico and the island of Porto Rico.
Senator Bristow has upon various occasions
called attention of the Senate to this prostitution of
the Federal service to the personal ambitions of the
President, and has gone far to introduce res
olution asking that the matter be investigated which
the Democrats and Taft Republicans sidetracked
Senator Dixon and others have made public pro-
tests about the matter, but to no avail
Where was Senator Reed during all of this?
If Senator Reed and the Democrats are really
anxious to purify politics they will find the progres.
sives of the Senate ready TO unite with them in an
effort to ascertain whether bribery through patronage
is as immoral and as subversive of popular govern.
ment as bribery through money

THE KANSAS sQUABBLE AGAIN.

The Taft forces have again ventured into court
to stop the people of Kansas from casting any of
their votes for Roosevelt 1t is sought to enjon the
printing of the of electors pledged to support
Roosevelt upon the official ballot this fall
The previous suit, still pending final settlement
in the United States Supreme Court, sought pre-
vent the names of these men from appearing on the
primary ballots that tine voters might decide whether
they wanted their electors to vote for Roosevelt or
Taft.
In that primary the voters of Kansas expressed
their preference for Roosevelt by majority Of
34,OOO that being the third time the issue between
Taft and Roosevelt has been presented to Kansas
voters this year-and with the same results.
In their latest petition the Taft forces claim two
things First, the Roosevelt electors received sup
port from Republicans who were msled into be-
lievng that these Roosevelt men would support Taft
The absurdity of such claim in view Of the bitter
ness of the contest is such as to merit serious
consideration The man who voted for the Roose-
velt candidates in tine belief they would vote for Taft
after such contest as waged in Kansas between
the factions has otanding in any court, except
which should be called to pass upon his sanity.
Second, the petition alleges that in event the
names of the Roosevelt electors are placed on the
Republican ticket it will mean the disfranchsement
of thousands of Kansas voters who to vote for
Taft That may be true, but if the Roosevelt elec-
tors do not have their printed on the ballot
it will mean the disfranchisement Of just $4,000
more voters than The elimination of Taft electors
means.
The question has been fairly fought out in Kan
sas The people have three times passed on it, each
time deciding they wanted the electoral vote of Kan
sas to be cast for Theodore Roosevelt. If there is
any virtue in the majority rule and any meaning at
all to popular government and the right of people
to instruct their electors the question of Kansas
electors should be considered settled.
For the Federal courts to interfere and override
the people of that State would invite attack upon
the judiciary of this nation that might rock the very
foundations of the country.

MAYOR OF WHEELING
EXPIRES SUDDENLY

utes.
He was grand trustee OF the national
order Of Elks and a member of the

INVESTIGATING THE GAS COMPANY.

Congressman Lobeok has reported to the House.
recommending passage of a resolution for detailed
investigation of the Washington Gas Company 1t
proposes to determine present physical valuation Of
the property, and what is proper price to be paid
for gas.
There has been so much investigation" and So
little result that it would ordinarily needless TO
investigate any more. But the proposal to make a
physical valuation justifes this measure. Still more,
this suggestion of Mr. Lobeck warrants nope that .he
resolution will pass:
"The inquiry should be ordered, to the end that a
proper standard for the capitalization Of all pubc
service corporations may be declared and established
by Congress. Capitalization is the key to govsrn-
ment control and regulation"
Washington people will see the Potomac make a
new flood record if this suggestion of squeezing the
water out of local service corporations ever gets
adopted. People will need to wear rubber boots on
street.
But that is exactly the right way to establish
adequate control Let the resolution pass by all
means; investigate just possible, establish
righteous standard, and then apply it 10 ALL the
corporations which overcharge the people in order 10
earn returns on watered stocks.

HOW MANY, PLEASE?

Archbold testies that within three weeks of the
election when Pennsylvania went over 100000 for
Roosevelt Penrose asked the Standard Oil for a
contribution to help him in the hard fight he was
having to carry Pennsylvania and he given
$25,000 in cash.
All who believe that explanation of the $25,000
Penrose got from the Standard Oil please say yes.
My! what a silence!

WHAT ABOUT THE CHECK?

Archbod says the S25,OOo Standard Oil paid to
Penrose to carry Pennsylvania was paid in cash.
This, then, leaves the certificate Of deposit for
$25,000 sent to Penrose unexplained Are we to
infer that it cost much to carry Penrose it did
to carry the whole State Of Pennsylvania?
