Rooseyelt'S Campaign Fund.

It is now we'll known that Roose-
velt's hacker in this fight for the
republican nomination, is nothing
less than the great "Steel Trust
which is more powerful organi-
zation than the Standard Oil.
They are paying Roosevelts bills,
paying postage on his literature,
hiring special cars and autom biles
and doing everything that money
can do to insure his nomination.
Roosevelt himself is endeavoring
to create the impression that his
fight against Taft is the result OF
popular demand on the part of the
republican voters, for his nomina.
ton, but that popular demand is
created entirely by the enormous
corruption fund of millions which
the Steel Trust and Harvester
Trusts are furnishing. Roosevelt
not only left these two great trusts
unframed when he prosecuted
the other trusts but he actually
helped the Steel Trust to swallow
its only rival and competitor, the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Co., and
Roosevelt actually promised the
Trust that he would not interior
with the consolidation which
made the Steel Trust the most
powerful corporation this country
has ever produced.
