THE ROOSEVELT SHOOTING As A V0TE.MIEER

Editorial comment in this paper on the day
after Col Roosevelt was shot, to the effect that
his courageous bearing and the dramatic incl
dents surrounding that narrow escape from trag-
edy would be a powerful factor in his favor po-
litically, is abundantly borne out by the com
ment Of the mainland press. Two conspicuous
examples are the San Francisco Examiner and
: the San Francisco Call, both of which have Bit

Roosevelt speaking an hour for his cause,

The Call comments: "Nation-wide horror
and distress over the news that mailman had
shot Mr.. Roosevelt at Milwaukee was followed
quickly by rejoicing that the crazy, c6wardly at

sustained was not likely to cause him great suf-
fering nor seriously to interfere with the prog

"And as the details of the news trickled into
the newspaper offices and to the bulletin boards,

Political MAR CHESTS

Few indeed will be the people who are not
staggered and shocked BY the revelations before
the senate committee Investigating campaign
funds. Not staggered SO much by the fact that
"big business" has helped finance the cam
paigns because the busy pen of the muck-raker
has prepared the American citizen for almost
anything in the way of exposure. 1t is the size

secured the nomination of Honest Abe Lincoln
in 1860 and Lincoin's campaign all told is said
to have cost in 1864 only 100000. =.
These primitive conditions rapidly gave way
to more elaborate campaigns. Sansuel j. Til
den, one Of the old school. of campaign organic
ers, ran up the figures in 1876 to $SOO,000 for
both parties, the Democratic war chest standing
most of the tap. About million dollars was
spent in 1880, Blaine personally putting in be-
tween 100000 and 100000 and even then
Cleveland's exchequer is said to, have been the
larger The campaign funds have been swelling
steadily ever since. Mark Hanna, the Smaker
OF Presidents, is credited with collecting sin

but good authority says that only $6,O0O,O00

BARRON DEMANDS

Republicans to replace the soapbox.
He graciously allowed two Republi-

In replying to Archer the Democra-

court can set aside a law made by

Answering a statement said to have
been made by a Republican, that the
Democratic party here had been built
up by accretions of Republican sore
heads, Barron triumphanfly asked
someone to come forward and tell
why the Republican party produced
soreheads. For the rest OF an unus-
