Speaking of the creed. Senator Williams
added.
1T is sacred to any man who respects

pronounced Themselves to be Latter Day
Saints and pronounced me to be a great
sinner. an rreverential sort OF man, and
all this occurred under the superintend-

IF there is any madness of demaRo

not remember it, said Senator Williams.
Pcstiferous in Interference.
Il do not believe said Mr.. Reed. that
Theodore Roosevelt was ignorant OF that
which took place in the Republican Ma
tional Committee. | do not believe that

thing and who has sought to thrust him

every attribute and aspiration Of mind

The birth of children and the spelling of

pestiferous in his interference. did not
know where the money was coming from
TO conduct his campaign do not believe
that when ha took hls own private secre-
tIry and confidential man and placed
him in control of that committee that that
man failed to report. | do not believe
that he afterward promoted that man
because the man had deceived him but
rather that he gave him promotion be-
cause he had carried out his orders and
obeyed his instructions.
Il say it ia impossible for candid,
thinking man to believe that Theodore
Roosevelt did not know what was going
on. and that the only difference between
him and some Of those whom he denounCes
to-day is this that the latter frankly
admit where they got the money. how
hey got the money and what they did with
lnt money, Nnlle neOuOTe ftOpSeNelt IL
declaring that he took the benefit of the
money innoceHtly. Between the man who
makes a frank avowal OF tina, which he
did and accepts the responsibility and the
power, who takes the benefit and then
turns craven and denounces the men who
pu, him into high position. the American
people will know how to Judge.
Reed scores Roosevelt.
They may condemn both and from my
standpoint they ought to condemn both
because | can find no justification for
collecting money from these great corpora
ations and using IL to corrupt the public
But for Roosevelt to stand and plead
ignorance in the face of the evidence hat
has been accumulated is to write against
his own name the word he has SO oft en
branded upon the brow of honest men and
good women"
Senator Reed now turned again to
Senator Penrose:
Il should like to ask the Senator from
Pennsylvania, said he, whether the
refusal of the Standard Oil people to give
up the additional $4,000 of which he
told us was any part Of the occasion of
Mr. Roosevelt going from the citades
of the Standard Oil to the Morgan in
terests and planting his banners on its
brestw orks.
As the Senator from Missouri was
proceeding to describe the odious char
acter of the Standard Oil Company,
said Penrose. Il rose to remind him that
perhaps il the reQuisition for $3.50 900
had been honored it might have re-
manned in the list OF good trusts.
Penrose added after moments re-
hection. however, that he did not say
! it would so have remained.
Senator Reed attacked George W.
Perkins $ record. Again Senator PEN
rose bobbed up.
Il should like to recall 10 the recollec-
tion Of the Senator, said Penrose that
Mr. Perkins had been wounded in the
service of his master. That he was indict ed
for the application Of the funds Of widows
and orphans interested in life insurance
murrer the funds being applied to cam
paign purposes and. according to my
recollection, being applied in the campaign

George ". Perkins Attacked.
Reed turned to Roosevelt's recent ex-
planation OF how George W. Perkins had
come to support him He quoted Roose-
velt's statement about Perkins turning
to the Colonel as an example for his per
kins) children.
"What does any honest man think. asked
Reed, "of candidate for President who

Joined by Mr. Perkins for the first time
and that Mr.. Perkins came in sackcloth
and ashes repentng for his sins and seek
