THE INTERESTS CONTRIBUTED
TO RRYAN'S CAMPAIGN.

Thomas Taggart, eX-chairman OF the
National Democratic Executive Com
mitee, testified before the United
States Senate Campaign Expenditure
Committee Tuesday that he under
stood that August Belmont, Thos F.
Ryan and Card Meyer, New Workers,
contributed to the Democratic cam
paign fund in 1908.
1t will be remembered that Bel
mont and Ryan are the men whom
Bryan bitterly denounced in the last
Democratic Convention and wanted
them unseated as delegates because
they represented the trusts Possibly
Mr.. Bryan didn't know at the time
that ex-Chairman Taggart would be
put on oath and asked to tell about
the source of the contributions to
Bryan's campaign fund. Of course
the Belmonts, the Ryans, the Muir
phys, the Taggarts and other agents
of the trusts will be asked to contri-
butte again this fall.

WILSON AND THE BOSSES.

When the Democratic National
Convention met at Baltimore Col.W. J.
Bryan declared that it was more COM
pletely dominated by the bosses and
the special interests behind them
than was the Republican Convention
at Chicago. That this was true was
proven by the success of the bosses
in electing Judge Parker, the Wall
street candidate, for temporary chair
man over Mr.. Bryan.
The fight, however, was continued
by Mr.. Bryan, as he had nothing to
lose, and he finally succeeded in get
ting the Wall street agents frighten-
ed and ratified. They at last helped
to nominate Wilson for President to
try to disprove Mr.. Bryan's charge.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1912-07-11

They did this also because they begaE
10 believe that they had . better
chance TO elect Wilson than any one
else. and that this would mean the
triumph Of their Wall street slate
machines In their various States.
They said 10 themselves that even
II Wilson Is elected. we can get along
with him. as he vas such a strong
admlrer OF Grover Cleveland as long
az he lived. and even II Ne can't, ne
will serve but one term as President.
and We will capture every man ne
nuts In Office and have him with Is
in the next national convention, four
wears from nov. which will insure
our absolute control OF that conven-
ton.
Since Mr.. wilson's nomination all
of the trust agents, including August
Belmont and Thos F. Ryan, and all
the bosses. including Murphy and
Tammany Hall, have wired him their
CONGRATULATIONS and called upon him.
except ex-senator Smith and boss
nugent Of his own State, and he has
sent for them.
Thus we see that Wall street and
ALL the bosses will be united behind
Mr., Wilson in an effort TO elect him.
The New York World, comment
ing on the line up of the bosses be-
hind Wilson and also on the many
platitudes in the platform, says:
This is a wonderful array OF
promise. most Of them in har-
mony with clearly expressed
nonular desires often voiced by
both parties. They bind canol-
dates. of course, but unless they
also bind those who make and
elect candidates they never VIII
be redeemed"
Thus we see that even the World
does not expect Wilson, if elected, TO
be able to carry out the promises IN
the platform, because it knows that
the bosses who will be in charge OF
the effort to elect him are not in ia
vor of a single good promise in the.
platform.

WILSON NOT THE DEMOCRATIC
CHOICE.

Woodrow Wilson is not the choice
of the majority of the Democrats for
President.
Champ Clark was in the lead on
the first ballot taken at the Baltimore
Convention and remained in the lead
for more than two days. In fact, he
received a majority of all the votes
cast on six ballots, and while the
Democrats claim to adhere to the
two-thirds vote, still it has been the
custom Of that party to give the nom
ination to the candidate receiving the
majority of votes in the convention,
and Clark would have been nomi-
mated at Baltimore but for the Sc
we're denunciation of the Speaker by
Bryan, linked with his yelled threat
to bolt the convention if Clark was
nominated. The politicians finally
decided to allow Wilson's nomination
in order to save a bolt, but it must
be remembered that its will require
even more than a two-thirds Demo-
cratic vote to elect Wilson this fall.
1t would require the full Democratic
vote and several hundred thousand
Republican votes to elect Wilson.
It is certain that Wilson will not
get the full Democratic vote and he
will not draw many Republican votes.

HOW CAN THE PEOPLE RI1TE5
Simple Statement of the Case That
Now Confronts Us.

The Washington, ID. c. Times.
Senator Poindexter, of Washing
ton, is quoted as saying:
In our State the Republicans in
oorsed in the regular way Colonel
Roosevelt. They elected a Roosevelt
delegation to Chicago, but reaction
airy national committee refused to
seat the delegates. The Republicans
of Washington will nominate and
support Roosevelt delegates, regard
ing Mr.. Roosevelt as the real choice
of the party for President
Senator Cummins put it in this
way:
"A fraudulent conspiracy vitiates
everything it touches, and therefore
to the Republican who after intelli-
gent inquiry reaches the conclusion
tnat the outcome of the Chicago con-
ventlon was the result of deliberate
fraud, the nominee of the convention
IS not the nominee of the Republican
party"
The two Senators state the COM
plete case. 1t is a matter of fact. of
universal knowledge, of undenied
and undeniable testimony, that the
Chicago convention was fraud.
If there were any procedure bv
which judicial cognizance could he
demanded. all this would be judicial
ly established. But there is no more
remarkable anomaly about our insti-
tutlons than this: that in the ST.
premely important business of nomi-
mating President, no provision is
made for redress against fraud and
conspiracy. A stolen nomination can
be replevined only by the action of
the people at the polls.
Ordinarily, there is enough OLSEN
ration OF such fraud to make it i'm
possible to unite the people in max
ing effective protest. This year it is
different. The people know the facts.
understand the conspiracy, have seen
Its operation and results. Thew
know they have been robbed: and
therefore in their view the nominee
OF the convention is not the nominee
OF the Republican party"
In one after another of the States
which must provide the electoral
votes in support of any Republican.

That dove Of peace that was turn
ed loose in the Baltimore Convention
must have died Of fright As nothing
has been heard OF IL since that dav.
And il Is probably we'll that the poor
bird Is dead and out Of it's agony. for
Democratic harmony Is merely a
myth.
Bryan's denunciation OF Candidate
Clark in the Baltimore Convention
was bitter in the extreme and nov
Bryan's friends have a movement on
foot to beat Clark for reelection as
Speaker of the House Clark's friends
are bitterly opposed TO the movement
to humiliate him by deposing him as
Speaker of the House. and they claim
that no true friend of Wilson's would
participate in movement which
would be certain to react in the end
upon Candidate Wilson. But, alas,
the Democratic dove Of peace is dead.

y An exchange says it will mean
more to the Democrats to carry New
York and Ohio than to carry Nebras-
ka. But the Democrats haven't car
rled Nebraska yet. It is true that a
certain Nebraskan has carried the
Democrats, but there is not much
chance for the Democrats to carry
Ohio and New York.

HOW A TARIFF CAN HELP OR
HURT THE SOUTH.

The Charlotte Observer is the frs
Democratic paper in this State t,
agree with The Caucasian that tn,
tariff can be SO adjusted as to hell
make the price of cotton go up to /!
cents a pound or go down to cent
a pound. The editorial in the Oh
server of last Saturday, July the 5th
is as follows:
"A tariff for revenue only is
all right, but such a tariff can
be so laid that it will help the
South as we'll as New England.
and again so laid that it will
help to make cotton Is cents
and keep it at that price instead
of forcing it to 5 cents and keep
ing it there
I'VE should so distribute our
tariff burdens as to be fair to
the South as against the North.
and then fair to the United
States as against the rest of the
world.
Since we can't have free
trade, let's have our fair share
in the distribution of what tar
III is necessary for revenue, then
pull all together to put down the
standpat, trust-fostering high
tariff
The Observer admits that free
trade would be disastrous to our
whole country and especially to the
South, yet it's candidate, Prof. VIII
son, is free trader.
The Democratic platform ate,
an attack on the Republican
of protection for American
capital and labor as robbery, at
tempts to dodge and straddle the tar
if issue by saying that they favor a
gradual reduction of the tariff so as
not to cripple business .
Thus they admit that there is dan
ger of Gripping business when the
to American capital and
labor is removed. How can the

were excessive, it seems that some

cause it did not cost near so much to

the ST. Louis Convention. In this

sources Of individual localities 10 be
expended in the lesser roads. which
naturally act as feeders 10 the main
lines
The Pennsylvania Legislature OF
1911 enacted Law called the Sproul
Law. providing for q system OF State
roads reaching every country seat.
every large centre OF population and
State lines in a great number of
places where connections with the
roads OF other States may be made
re-organized on a new and greatly
enlarged basis
The limit OF time set by law for
the State Highway Department TO
survey and take over into the care
of the State the highways constitut-
ing the system was June /, 1912.
These roads also included such toll
roads as could be got on reasonable
terms and without litigation. Many
of these were taken over. Three
million dollars was appropriated TO
cover the expenses and provide for
Improvement until the Legislature !
should meet again and make further
appropriations.
The highways taken over the first
of June and previously cover practi-
cally the entire State highway sys-t
tenn, and the roads are now under
the care of the State. So much work
has to be done in repairs TO roads
and bridges to make and keep them
passable that it is considered cues
whether there will be left
any of the 100000 for new con-
pending the next meetingl
of the Legislature.
At the same time the system oil
State highways was established a
resolution was passed by the Legis-
lature so amending the Pennsylvania
constitution as TO permit the issue
or bonds to the extent of S5O,OOO,OOOI
for road purposes. Under the Penn
sylvania basic law such a resolution
must be passed by two successive
legislatures, then be voted on by the
people, and then the next Legisua-
-ure must enact laws arranging thei
details. The Legislature of 1913 is
to pass the resolution andI
The voters at the 1913 election are
to vote in it's favor. Then.
instead OF waiting two years morel
