One of the curious featric ofne athingl h Wash ingtoila I the rapi ity with vhli a story, at irst in.r.; intriled at, [Ipa4ses quickly from th4 realm of rumaor to the polut of publi cation. A few days ago it was rui imored that the facts voncernc:ing thi enoi'!lIMs explelditutres3 of, mtIey beini: miade to sicure tihe noiniaion for thu presideciy of Secretary Taft were Eke ly to e imade the subject of invesiga tion by a -widely cireulated wevekcly pa per. Within forty-elght hours the Stor; of the Taft money camilpaigl wNas toh iII full inl at New York iewspaper. Secretary Taft Is fortluate In havin a trotlher who Is eatormously rich, wht attained his fortunte partly throug marrlage and partly because ! of i Vhrevd combialation of- polities aiw business and the successful autpipuhi tion of public service franchises in Ci clInlati. Two weeks ago people 11 WashingtollN who professed to knox told ine that the Taft (camflpaign foi th nomination was costing in the negi1 borhood of $so,000. The investigator for tile New York paper, proceedin! along, as I havs, reason to know, enthr; ly distinct lines. fix it at $750,000. Thh be It known, is the expenditure up t dlate, yet the real wor-k of control lln, a convention has only just begur While there have been men travelin all over the United States In the it terest of Taft, while lie has had lea( quarters in WashliUgtol and i Colun bus, yet what las been done up to th present time does not represent hail the expenditure that will nlecessaril have to be made if his brother Is I buy the nomination for him. The col vention is nearly three mouths off, an these three lmonthls will be the tilti that, if it does not try imen's souls, wl try their pocketbooks. Many people on the Republican sid of the house and senate think that Se retary Taft woild have done bett< to have miade his canipaign withoi this lavish expenditure of money. .
