Representative John Dalzel, the
high priest Of high protection, got
caught In the Pennsylvania landslide
along with Taft and Penrose. When
a state like Pennsylvania turns away
from man like Dalzell, who has
spent a score Of years in the service
Of the tariff beneficiaries, It means
that the end Of the present system
OF tariff extortion is not far q

That the steel trust is willing t.
spend money to elect men to public
office, who are willing to- serve them
after they get into office, is agair
being demonstrated.
When Theodore Roosevelt wa.
president OF the United States, hi
permitted the steel trust to Absorb
It's principle rival, the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company This tran
saction was worth millions OF dollar:
to the steel trust. because it practi
cally assured the trust a monopoly OF
American markets, it is in posi-
ton to extort from consumers mos
amy price it desires to- ask.
The absorption of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company by the stee
trust was in direct violation of both
the spirit and the letter Of the law
No one denies this. Not even the at
torneys for the steel trust deny that
this transaction was unlawful. Ye1
the deal was carried out with the
direct approval Of president Roose
welt, who had given in to the desire
Of George w. Perkins, partner Of J.
Pierpont Morgan and other million.
aire steel trust -magnates.
This is not the only favor Theo-
dore Roosevelt did for the steel trust
while he was president. The most
exhaustive search Of the records OF
Congress during the years that Roos-
eyelt was president fails to show the
passage of any measure that even in
the most remote manner affected the
monopoly and the huge dividends Of
the steel trust Hundreds OF such
measures were introduced in both the
House and the Senate while Mr..
Roosevelt was president, and every
one OF the least. consequence died in
committee. Mr.. Roosevelt never
raisd his voice in protest. 8
Mr.. Roosevelt is now a candidate
for office. Every politician in the
land DIS aware that he Is spending
more money to obtain delegates fav-
orable to his nomination than any
candidate for the presidency has
spent in this country in the last quar-
ter of a century. s$3
Where is this money coming from?
Let us see:
Elton Huntington Hooker, treasurer
Of the Roosevelt League, has just
filed with the Secretary Of
the State of New York a
list OF the contributors of the
Roosevelt fund. This sworn report
reveals that in the state OF New York
alone George w. Perkins, organizer
Of the harvester trust and director Of
the steel trust, spent $4,000. Frank
A. Munsey, the largest individual
holder of steel stock. (Common) in
the country, contributed s15, 900
more. Thirty thousand dollars Of
steel trust money. spent for Roose-
welt in the state of New " ork alone,
and there are AZ states in the union.
This sworn staten nt shows that in
New York s59.126.75 was spent to
get about $4,000 Roosevelt votes, OF
practically 81 vote.
This is twice as much for each
vote as Stephenson spent in Wiscon.
sin, and he was threatened with the
loss Of his seat. The point to this
article, however, is that the steel
trust sands by it's friends. .s
