Wall street is reported to have
formed an alliance with Champ
Clark, Underwood and Harmon to
resist the nomination by the demo-
Gratis of Wilson, agreeing to accept
and support either OF the trinity who
may be named as the party's stand
ard bearer at Baltimore.
Tho report does not sound unrea-
sonable. Much stranger things have
happened in politics. There is no
reason at all to suppose that Clark,
Underwood or Harmon would not
make a perfectly acceptable candl-
date TO Wall street and the money
interests II stands for. Underwood,
Of course. has been declared by Mr..
Bryan to be the Steel trusts agent
and It is vaguely rumored that Steel
trust money and influence have
something OF standing in and about
Wall street. Harmon. from the first,
has been viewed as q very close
friend OF the Bourbons and bour-
bonism is synonymous with wall
street In politics. Speaker Clark,
though a little STACEY at times, Is
yet an old hand at the game of prac-
teal politics and realizes that the
eve OF campaign is no time to push
q probe into Money trust.
But the direct beneficiary Of all
this talk. OF course. is Governor
Woodrow Wilson. He is playing
"lonc hand" In the fight for the
nomination, we are told. Yes. but
a mighty cunning lone hand. 1t may
hurt to miss out on some OF the
Wall street support" hut Il does
no harm with the common people"
to have 1t understood beforehand
that the other fellow is tied up with
the bad boys in politics and that you
are hoeing your own row alone. eS-
cept for the elean-handed help of
the people. or course, In the mean
time. one may go on quietly organiz-

clubs and things and levyIng per-
fectly proper assessments to pay the

Self Crimination.

Harking back to the last fulmIna
ton of Mike" Harrington against
Governor Harmon and his followers
in Nebraska, unusual penetration Il
shown into a species of fraud which
our democratic friends have been
perpetrating. and which they are at
tempting to continue. Read again
what Mr.. Harrington says with
reference to the efforts made in 1896
by the gold democrats. who are now
accused Of being Harmonites, to
divert votes from Bryan:
In Nebraska these People were partic-
ularly obnoxious. They put up an elec-
torai ticket and labeled it democrat"
They were appealed 10 to name Il
Cleveland democrat" or gold demo-
crat." so that voters might not be de-
eeived; for We all realized that there was
danger that some Of the men who de-
sired to vote for the eight Bryan elect
ors. that were labeled democrat and
peoples independent" might be misled
and vote for this fake ticket that was
also labeled democrat" And they did
fool some. The returns show that about
5.0ee men voted the bogus ticket.
But what Harrington accuses the
Harmonites of doing Is exactly what
Harrington and the Bryanites, with
the personal connivanee OF Mr..
Bryan. have, themselves, been doing.
Four years ago Mr.. Harrington, him
self, was running on two tickets for
presidential elector. masquerading at
least on one under false label.
Why did Bryan's democratic electors
insist on going on the ballot mis-
branded as populists. except to de-
ceive populist voters? The populIst
nominee for president was TON"
Watson. and every populIst, who,
thinking he was voting for Watson,
voted for the electors labeled demo-
crat and peoples independent" was
trapped into voting directly for
Bryan. a theft even more palpable
Than that of the gold democrats in
1896. who merely sidetracked the
diverted votes into a column OF
nnocuous desuetude.
The charge that Harrington brings
70 vigorously is determination of
he Bryanites for their embezzlement
II populist votes by the same fraudu.

Senator Kenyon's Unmineed Words.

II has been long time since the
senate listened TO words as plain and
pungent as those Senator Kenyon
spoke in behalf OF the minority re-
port on the Stephenson matter.
Why mince words?" he de-
manded. Everybody knows that the
election OF Senator Stephenson was
brought about by the reckless. ex-
travagant and wrongful use OF
money. You may gloss 1t over,
smile about it, condone II. but the
fact still remains-the seat was pur-
chased"
Pretty plain talking, that. But
none too plain. Why, indeed, minee
words in a foolish attempt to explain
away facts as palpable as those that
stand out in the case of Senator
Stephenson? Let the senator retain
his seat. II need be. for he only fol-
lowed a system that other men be-
fore him had for years followed.
