The wounding of Col Roosevelt
at Milwaukee will have distinct CT
feet upon the Pennsylvania election.
Many Of the Bull Moose" support
ers were on the verge of returning
to the Republican ranks. but the
shot fired by crank caused them
to return to the Colonel. The Dem
ocrats believe that Roosevelt and
Taft now will split the normal Re
publican majority so that the Dem

While w. ]. Bryan was speaking
al Delphi, o., recently some smart
alec who probably didn't know him
very well asked him some questions
about panics. Bryan read chapter
from his panic primer" Answering
the threats of panic under a Dem
ocratic administration. Bryan asked,
How many panics have we had
since the Republican party got into
power in 1860? Three. When was
the first panic? In 1878. Who was
President? U. S. Grant, Republi-
can. When was the second panic?
In 1893. Who was President? Grov-
er Cleveland. When did we have the
third panic? In 1907. Who was Pre-
ident? Theodore Roosevelt, and he
had Republican House and Senate
under him. What are the chances
Of panic under Democratic ad-
ministration? Less than one half as
great as under Republican ad-
ministration.
What are the chances OF a panic
under Republican administration? !?
More than twice as great as under a
Democratic administration, for two
thirds Of the panics came under the
Republican administrations and one
third under a Democratic admins
tration that was at the time operat-
ing under Republican law. Are Mr.
Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt afraid of a
panic in case of Democratic success
Not much. If they were they would
not have separated, but would have
stood together to prevent 1t.

Less than two weeks remain be-
fore the election At present there
is every indication of Democratic
success, but things can happen in
that short time to turn the tide. We
do not believe it possible that any
thing can turn the tide from Wilson,
but we should take nothing for
granted. Every Democrat who loves
his country and his party should get
on the firing line and remain on
duty until the close of the polls

STEEL TRUST AN ENEMY
TO ORGANIZED LABOR

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. g.
The report of the majority of the
committee of the house of represen-
tatives, directed more than a year ago
to investigate the United States steel
corporation, was submitted to the
house today by Representative Stan
ley of Kentucky, chairman Of the COM
mittee.
The report of the majority deals
with the steel trust from its ineep-
tion. j. p. Morgan and his associates
are held up as being beneficiaries Of
enormous profits realized from over
capitalization of subsidiary companies
of the steel corporation and later of
the corporation itself. Judge Gary
and his dinners to steel manufactur-
ers are credited with scheme by which
prices and territory were concerned
by the steel trust after the pooling
agreements We're discarded.
Former President Roosevelt was in
dicted for making control of the steel
trust absolute and is charged with
being reponsible for the gigantic stat
ure which the trust has attained.
The United States steel corporation
was flayed as an enemy Of organized
labor, is accused of lowering socio-
logical conditions of its employe and
of contributing to the American in
dustry workmen and work methods
un-American and foreign to the best
interests of labor.

COURT CALLED IN TO DECIDE
AS TO LEGALITY OF ROOS-
EVELT ELECTORS

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Kansas
primary election case, which involves
the unique point of great importance
In the machinery of the national elec-
ton, was said here today. Justice
Pitney is spending his vacation here
Directly or indirectly the decision OF
these justices will settle whether the
eight candidates for the presidential
electors who have declared they will
vote in the electoral college for Theo-
dore Roosevelt may have their names
on the ballots. 1t will be submitted
to the people of Kansas at the Repub-
lican primary election there on Aug. G.
The question at issue is broad
one. The Taft leaders declare that
the eight electors they are trying to
keep off the ticket, were designated
with the understanding that they
would abide by the decision of the Re
publican national convention.
The Roosevelt people contend the
voters of Kansas should have a right
Of referendum on the decision of the
national convention.
The Kansas law is the only one
which would permit such referendum
The supreme court of Kansas, to
which the question was first submit
ted, held that regardless of the truth
of their charges OF fraud and misrep-
resentation made against the eight
Roosevelt electors, it had no power To
grant the relief the Taft people asked
for.

SPEERR CROWD BOSS; SLIPPED
ONE OVER ON PROGRESSIVES.

DENVER, Aug. John f. Shat
roth and Charles S. Thomas, in spite
of their experience as lawyers, poll
ticians and business men, ignoring
the lessons they have been taught in
the past listened to Harmony" and
square deal" talks from stokers of
the old machine.
Believing the crowd would not talk
of harmonizing anything unless it re-
allied it was defeated, the Shafroth-
Thomas combination, eager FOR sena-
torial honors, began trading at and
trimming in the Democratic county
assembly in the hope of winning the
solid delegation from Denver to the
state assembly at Pueblo.
The result is that the Speer crowd
gradually annexed a majority of dele
gates to the county assembly through
the square deal" conversations start
ed by the candidates and when test
vote was taken there remained moth
ing for Shafroth and Thomas to do
except announce that they would ap-
peal the case through a bolt.
The Speer crowd was defeated al
the primaries. II was in the minority
when the county assembly was called
to order and could have been demoral-
lied, some say, if the leaders Of the
opposition had continued to fight for
principle, but the senatorial ambi-
tions of Shafroth and Thomas were
made paramount and few hours ex-
ercise of time-tried tactics Of the men
who have managed elections and con
ventions in Denver for years, turned
an Independent majority in the as
sembly into a boiling minority.
