VIGOROUS STATEMENT!
BY JOHN A. PETERS.
CharaCterizeS the Letter and Cir.
cuIar Recently Issued by Roy c.
Haines as ''Misleading" Estates
Facts Plainly and Explicitly.

aud was not going back on his
promise to support me. and that on
that assumption | would telephone To
Col. Parkhurst and see if he could be
employed in any clerical or literary
work during the campaign. Col. Park
hurst authorized me To say To him
that he could give him such a job,
paylnS him, however. what his ser
vices were worth after they were
rendered
Mr. Haihes had no further propo-
sitions to offer and neither had /, and
Or. West, who WIS acting as Mr..
Haines' messenger left my office, both
he and | having the belief that Mr..
Haines would come out as a Progress
sive in the morning. Very much to
my surprise instead of doing that he
telcphoned the secretary of State, re-
tracing his withdrawal: and | can
not help noticing, in this connection.
that in the papers Mr.. Haines adver
tises his sentiments that good name
is To be chosen rather than great
riches
Mr.. Eaines statements giving the
story Of his preliminary campaign
are about as misleading as his state
ment of being approached to with
draw. but as he largely deals in gilt
tering generalities, | will only say
that il IS cheap and handy weapon
Of a demagogue To howl about
ring. or machine when he finds
that the voters are not much in favor
of propositions for self advancement
supported by himself alone.
JOHN \. PETERS.
The above letter has been read by
me. and | desire to say that it is an
exact and complete statement of the
facts as | remember them. and ,f:y
recollection is vivid On this particular
subject.

Senator Bristow, discussing an al
legged discrepancy in duty on po-
tato starch with none on potatoes
asked Senator Williams why the
Democrats put a duty on rice and
not on potatoes. Senator Williams
declared that one reason was that the
Republicans had begun to house
rec and the Democrats could not take
all the duty off at once and further
that rice was not such an Every day
food as potatoes
Why do you put duty on "a :
nanas?' Senator Bristow asked.
First said Senator Williams, be
cause ii is not a basic article of food.
and second because the banana trade
of this country is about entirely con-
tfollcd by the United Fruit Co, which
also is buying up the banana lands
abroad Again the tax is made so
small that it cannot possibly affect
the retail price and the fruit trust
will have to pay it"
Senator Bristow finally declared
that in tile pending bill the Demo-
Gratis had deliberately and outrage
