THE FACTS IN THE CASE.


Manchester Press: When Governor
Hadley OF Missouri, spoke in Manches-
ter at the recent Chautauqua, it was
our privilege to entertain him ct our
home Governor Hadley told us that
Roosevelt was solely responsible for
the defeat of the movement to nomi-
nate a third man. Hadley himself
was seriously considered, and no less
man than Murray Crane told him
that he (Hadley) would be nominal
ed. The Taft people took up the mat
ter with Hadley and he took 1t up
with Roosevelt. The colonel refused
to consider the proposition, and said
he would not support Hadley or Cum
Minis or Borah. That being final, the
Taft people went ahead with their
original program. They could not
have nominated Hadley or Cummins
without Roosevelt's acquiescence, for
the moment a switch was attempted
enough of the Taft delegates would
have broken away to nominate Roose.
velt
The Press believes the truth to be
this: Roosevelt had accepted the
financial backing Of certain huge in
terests, notably the steel and har-
vester trusts, which had contributed
immense sums of money, certainly not
less than million dollars to his cam
paign. These interests do not con-
tribute to any mans campaign fund
unless they know where they are att
and what may be expected Of the
candidate. They undoubtedly had an
understanding with Roosevelt, but
they did not have any understanding
with Hadley or Cummins or Borah.
They were unknown quantities. The
steel and harvester people couldn't az
ford to take any chances with can
didate who wasn't sure to stand hitch
ed They had spent too much money
on Roosevelt's organization to give an
unpledged and independent candidate
the benefit of it. Roosevelt couldn't
withdraw except with the consent of
the men who furnished the sinews of
war and these men were not satisfied
with either Cummins or Hadley or Bor-
ah. We say it to their credit-to their
lasting credit.
The Press believes, further, that if
Governor Hadley or Senators Cum
Minis or Borah had been willing to ac-
cent the nomination on such terms as
the steel and harvester trust imposed,
one of them would have been the
nominee.

Penrose Not the Man.

Kansas City Journal: What Mr..
Roosevelt says about the corruption Of
Senator Penrose may all be true, but
that is not the point. The American
people just now are not particularly In
terested in the record Of Penrose-he
is not asking their suffrage. The cues.
ton is, are Penrose's statements about
Rooseyelt's record true?

welt followers to be the only ones who
are sensitive to criticism Of their can

weakness of his position and the
vulnerability of his record that makes
them so?
Without harshness, without abuse,
without personalities, without reflec-

ism.
The steel Investigating committee Of
congress has declared him guilty of
cinniving at and protecting fragrant
Ilawlessness by the chief Of American
trusts. He was offlcially the friend
OF Morgan In the matter Of steel's alb
sorption Of Tennessee Coal and Iron.
His platform offers to license and
validate the trusts. It proposes to
regulate" them by commission
which shall have power furthermore
to fix maximum and minimum rates,
such regulation to take the place Of
prosecution It substantially offers
the trusts closer working partner
ship with government, and the COM
Portable enjoyment. of far greater Sc
curity and more abundant privileges
than they have ever known.
Roosevelt has selected George w.
Perkins of the harvester trust, and
former partner Of Morgan, to be the
collector and working treasurer OF his
campaign fund.
We respectfully commend Roose-
velt men to sober contemplation of
the facts about Roosevelt.
