| no one to take him seriously, when in
| face of his public record, everyone knows
that throughout the years of his public
| life, he has been one in bondage to the

what pledges were made before the oil
| garchy decided to give you the nomina-
| ton? Did you promise George Harvey
place in the cabinet, as is generally
| stated?
| Does your platform authorize you to
| make pledge to George Viereck and to
! declare for separate peace with Ger
| many TO secure, as he says, 6,0o0,oOW
votes of the pro-German party in Amer
lea?
Promises to Bankers.
| ibid your platform give you the right
to promise to George Reynolds. Chicago

money interests of America to a small
group of bankers?

| letter soliciting funds from directors of
corporations that they should measure
| their contributions on the basis of what
| Republican success is worth to you and
| your corporate interests and send m
| your pledges accordingly.
To Mexican Spectators.

| What is your understanding with
| Elihu Root which caused him to rush
| to your defense at time when Mr.
Taft has pointed out the probability OF
vacancies in the supreme court! Is II
| because you have given personal
pledge or because of his knowledge OF
your attitude against Judge Brandefs,
