money have been filed, aud Mr.. Carmody

II will first determine whether all the
members OF the commission can be held
responsible for the shortage in-the funds

tonight. "or whether the responsibility
only rests with certain members OF the
commission. l understand some OF the
commissioners contend that the shortage
occurred before they became associated
with General Sickles. ! shall look into
that question. and also decide just wfat
proceedings shall be instituted"
There were no statements made yester-

and some OF them said yesterday that
they had not heard that General Sickles

definitely and permanently separates
himself from the great party organ
izations, and get SO far away that
he will never be able to get back.
Such man is safer when isolated
and unattached. Without the re-
straints which an established and
powerful organization like the re-
republican party throws around its
candidates and leaders, Mr.. Roose-
yelt is more likely to reveal him
self 20 the country as he really Is.
As an aspirant for the chief mag
istracy, he is far, less to be feared
than when he has the backing Of sue
party as the one which made him
president before. Just as his ten
dency is to make personal party
out Of the political organization to
which he Is attached, and the party
of which he becomes leader must
necessarily be Roosevelt force In

personal party may most fittingly be

WEDNESDAY, JULY "a, 1912.
WILSON TACT.

h Those who were personally acquaint-
ed with Governor Wilson have all
along contended that in addition to
his many forceful qualifications, he
was an exceedingly tactful man. His
tact answered a good purpose in the
selection of the chairman and mem
bers Of the campaign committee Of
the democratic national committee.
without jar or friction OF any
kind, Governor Wilson has induced
the national committee to fill these
important positions with men who
were his active supporters in the
pre-conyention campaign.
Reed Of Missouri is the only mem
her Of the campaign committee who
has favored the nomination of any
one other than Wilson this year.
4 In the Bryan campaigns the presa-
dental nominee was weighted by the the
make-u Of the controlling forces OF
the national committee. The Tom
Taggarts O. the committee seriously
interfered with Mr.. Bryan's cam
paign and there seemed to be no way
open for escape from their influence.
But Wilson will not have TO carry carry
any OF that kind of weights. And
Wilson unloaded the weights 50 dex,
te,r,oously that they all consented to
be unloaded. ss3

WILSON As LEAF Err. {

Springfield, Mass, Republican.
II is worth while to vote what Mi.
BRYAN has said regarding the demo
cratic nomination for vice president.
He explains that he favored in the
convention Governor Burke Of North
Dakota Senator Chamberlain OF
Oregon for second place on the tick
Ct: because they lived IN regions
where progressive republicans are the
strongest, because he thought thai
either one could carry several north
western states for the democrats and
because their states has Joined with
Governor Wilson in opposition 10
making Judge Parker temporary chat
man. This was entirely logical ground
at the time, but Mr.. Bryan admits
that while he thought that either
Burke or Chamberlain would have
brought the democrats more votes
than Marshall, "the Indiana COVER
nor is a powerful man on the stump
and has an excellent record. Thus
il is to be seen that the Baltimore
convention left no lasting wound and
that Governor Marshall is In no sense
obnoxious to the Commoner. It will
be remembered that Mr.. Bryan's last
words in the national convention were
q remuneration of the leadership OF
his party and its formal transfer, so
far as he was conserved. to the hand
OF Woodrow Wilson.
In a remarkable way, therefore the
opportunity OF leading his party has
come to Governor Wilson. This will
be welcomed because for long years
Woodrow Wilson has recognized that
honest leadership has come to be the
greatest need in American politics.
When leadership degenerates into the
bossismi of the selfish kind, the result
is power misdirected and made to OPP
press and not to serve the people
At the bottom Of all the political I'M
rest of the time lies the serious pur'
pose of the people to rescue power
from the bosses and to place it in the
hands OF the leaders who will first of
all seek to serve the public interest.
To do this has been the purpose
of Governor Wilson's participation in
politics since he resigned the presi-
dency of Princeton university. HIS
ability to lead along the right lines
has been powerfully demonstrated
through his work as governor Of the
state Of New Jersey. The people OF
that state. long dominated by the
bosses Of the two parties, who were

WHY THE BIG MALEFAcToRs
WILL OPPOSE WILSON,.

The malefactors Of great wealth
win do all in their power to defeat
Wilson. They commit most OF
their crimes behind corporation
masks, and they know full well that
Wilson has no use for statutes
which impose fines upon corporations
FOR violations OF the law. They know
that Wilson believes that penalties
are for those who are guilty OF will;
full wrongdoing, and that a corpora q
ton. which is an inanimate, artfl"
ctal person, can not commit crime
any more than an ak or a gun WI
son will insist upon the punishment
Of criminals, who commit crimes
by using corporations to aid Them
the same as those who commit
crimes with guns or other deadly
weapons.

! Doesn't Look Formidable

st. Joseph, NeWS-FreS6.
Generally speaking, there is q mark
ed absence Of enthusiasm for the
third party. It is languishedS in spite
OF the vigorous tumpet for re-
cruits. There are several reasons
why not much is to be excepted OF
the movement. It is based upon re-
yenge. and this, does not appeal to
the steady going republicans. The
nomination of Wilson has satisfied
many republicans who hold TAN is
not sufficiently progressive. Then
there is the local Interest. State
and county managers do not want to
take chances OF splitting their home
strength, and this has always been
a most important factor against third
parties. The Roosevelt party will no
doubt be formed and the colonel Will
he its candidate, but the movement
loes not promise to become formid-
able.

NEW RECALL ARGUMENT FOR M
ROOSEVELT.

The Roosevelt plan OF steanng
presidential electors chosen by Re-
publican voters has run against q
snag in the Kansas courts. An 1n]uct-
ion has been issued to every county
clerk in the state forbidding him to
print in the republican column of the
official ballot the name or
any person who has declared that II
elected he will vote for Mr.. Roose-
welt. =. -,-
It seems that eight of Kansas san
didates for presidential elector have
declared that If elected in Novem-
Der they will vote for Mr.. Roosevelt,
regardless of the decision OF the
Republican national convention that
Mr.. Taft is the Republican candidate
for President.
Several Republican voters who had
signed the nominating petitions OF
these candidates, under promise that
they would support the Republican
NOMINEE for President thereupon
went into court to GUST them from
the trust which they were openly
plotting to betray. The INDUCTION
issued is the result. The boiling elect
ors are required to show cause next
Monday why the INDUCTION should not
be made permanent.
That such tricks should even be at
tempted in behalf Of Mr.. Roosevelt is
a caustic commentary on the sincerity
the ou-shalt-not-stear party and
its hero and proprietor. 1t also illus
trates to what degeneracy of political
morals some of us have come under
the uplifting influences Of Reform by
Riot.

Some said that Wilson was not
tactful when he repudiated the pub
fishers of Harper's Weekly and the
Louisville Courier Journal, because
they were planning to place him un-
der obligations to a trust king. But
both of these influential publications
are now supporting Wilson, and by
so doing admit that he did just right
when he summarily turned down
their publishers. There are times
when it is tactful to strike down
wrong with a giant blow and without
apology or notice to the wrong doors.
