Mr. Bryan can now add. the Fora ker scare to his list of Taft scares. Hearst's "uepenaence" party is composed almost entirely of him self und his money bags. During the past week Bryan st ok; in several places in New Y r& to immense crowds, He karris to be more popular than e/er this campaign. It is the duty of every Democrat in Georgia to vote for Little Joe Brown for Governor. He won the nomination in a fair, square fight and is entitled to tne support of the party. Little John Temple Graves, who adorns the tail end uf Hearst's "de pendent" league presidential tielcet, linds it very hard to get the public to take him seriously. They look upon his candidacy as a huge joke. The State says the exposure of Foraker and his Standara Oil affilia tions is just, but it is glad the dirty work ot Dribing confidential secre taries or buying stolen documents was done outside the Democratic party. The State expresses our sentiments exactly. All the Democrats are getting to-gether which means the the elec tion uf Bryan and Kern. Richard Olney, Mr. Cleveland's secretary of state, comes out strongly for Bry an. In a four-column letter to The World he arraigns the Republ.can party and commends suppoit of Bryan. The Gictnville Ne.vs says Maj. JSarle pledged Jus word voluntarily, before the recent primary election that should Cansler, of Tirzah, be elected lailroad commissioner, he. I Earle would resjgn. lu the face ol this threat Greenville, Earle V home ?county, gave Cansler three thousand majority out of a vote of a little ov er six thousand.. We make the prediction that Hearst will : spring the biggest, blackest lie of the campaign on Bryan a day or two before the'elec tion. He will back it up by forged docurnents that he win. have some rascal like Alfred Henry Lewis to get up, but it will not hurt Bryan, i?s Hearst is too well known as a liar and slanderer*.. It took a dirty fellow, like Hearst to'invade the office of a man and bribe his trusted employees to steal documents therefrom. Hearst and the thief who stole the documents from Archbold's office are of the same type. We are glad that a Re publican tool of Standard Oil has been exposed but we wish it could have been done without so much dirty work. The editor of the Columbia State says he does not like ra Iroad travel, but he would go four hundred miles to see Haskell meet the yellow ren egade Hearst upon stump or plat form. Our friend need not worry himself. He will never be called upon to take the trip, as no dirty blackguard like Hearst will ever face the men his foul tongue slan ders and lies on. Hearst made a bitter attack on Governor Haskell of Oklahoma in a speech in Memphis on Saturday. Hearst attacks Haskell because Haskell is the treasurer of the Na tional Democratic Committee and he wants to injure Bryan and nelp .Taft. Hearst charges that Haskell is mixed up with Standard Oil. ?Haskell denounces Hearst as a liar and challenges him to prove his charges before five disinterested independent newspaper editors. Of course, Hearst will decline Haskell's challenge as he knows he was lieing when he made the charge, and he does not want to be brand ed as a liar by a disinterested jury. ] Closed Up by the Trusts. The Nebraska City starch factory was incorporated in Nebraska City in June, 1891, with paid up capital of $53,000.. The factory operated a few years and was reported pros 1 perous when, to the surprise of the stockholders who were not nonnect ed with <he management of the company, an indebtedness accumu lated until it amounted to about the sum of the paid up capital. The stockholders were given a choice of an assessment amounting to the sum of their stock or take ten cents on the dollar. About one third of the stockholders sold their interest and in June 1894, it was transferred to the Argo Starch con - pany. August, 1899, it was trans ferred to the United Starch compa ny and August 1900 trom the United Starch company to the National Starch/company. . Hon. C. J. Smyth, a democratic attorney general of Nebraska brought suit to keep it from being j transferred to the trust. Republi cans called a meeting for a public protest, and a republican district judge presided. Resolutions were passed condemning the action of the attorney general. Soon afterwards a date was ar ranged when Mr. Bryan and Mr, Smyth would speak in Nebraska City. When they arrived, a copy of the resolutions were presented to them and threats were made to do them bodily harm. Mr. Bryan, in [ his opening sentence, said that he had "come to discuss the trust ques tion in the shadow of the starch factory." He told them it would be managed in an office in New York -City and by people who had no int erest in their community. He urg ed the citizens to aid the attorney general in keeping the factoiy from being swallowed up by the trust under whose management it would be closed as soon as one of their oth er factories paid better dividends. The Commoner, from which pa per we take the above, says: "after Mr. Bryan's defeat for president in 1900, Mr. Hayward, now secretary of the republican national commit tee, sent Mr. Bryan a postal card referring to the fact that Nebraska went republican and suggesting that the shadow of the starch fae tory seemed to cover the whole state. The trust operated the fac tory but a few years. It was soon closed. In the spring of 1908 it was sold to the S. Krug Wrecking com pany of Chicago. It has been dis mantled, one section of the building has been wrecked and a crew of men are now at work wrecking the entire building." The Bursting of a Bomb. "More and more serious trouble in the national camp of the Repuo licans," says the Columbia State. ! Senat jr Foraker, a shining light in the party and considered one of its cleanest, as will as one of its mosL able men, is suddenly dropped by Taft and his managers. "For weeks the Taft engineers have schemed to effect a reconcilia tion between the Ohio senator anu the Republican candidate, and e few days ago these two men we re sud denly brought together before ten thousand people and Foraker forced by circumstances to reply to Taf t's fneidlv salutation. Republican pa pers featured the arrival of peace and harmony in Ohio and the wiping out of a serious feud. And Taft and Foraker were advertised to ap pear together at a great rally of Re publican clubs in Cincinnati next Tuesday. "But last week W. R. Hearst said in a speech that Mr. Foraker and JohnD. Archbold of Standard Oil had correspondence, and that Fora ker represented Standard Oil. The Ohio senator, probably secure in the belief that Hearst had not been able to acquire Archbo|d,8 private let ters, freely admitted having been the legal agent of Stnndard Oil be fore going to Washington, but de clared he had not been employed while senator and that the corre spondence had nothing to do with legislation. The next day Hearst published the letters. "One showed that fifty thousand dollars had been deposited to Fora ker's order by Archibold; the other asked him to fight a bill against trusts then pending. Both were addressed to "Dear Senator," at ? Washington, D. C." The methods of Hearst do not lessen the weight j of this blow to Foraker and the Re- j publican party. It is terrific. It is I absolutely crushing-; and when it is reali/.ed that Foraker's policy is common among Republican sena tors, it gives the people a real in si^hc into methods of the leaders in that party. It gives them an under standing of why the trusts contri bute so heavily to Repuolican cam paign funds. "The blow to Foraker and the party is keenly felt by Taft, and as evidence of his understanding of to* seriousness of the situation, after a conference with leaders who rep resented Taft, Foraker wrote a lec t t sayirg he would not emborass ihe candmate by appearing at the rally of Republican duo* ioni -n < night. He will probably dr-.. vui of the national campaign. They Were For Bryan. The most notable and important feature of the openirg of I he Re publican national campaign at Youngstown, Ohio, on the Saturday before Labor Day was the part ihe steel trust took in helping to give Mr. Taft a good start in his own State. The great mills of the Car negie works of the United Stales Steel corporation, the Republic Iron and Steel company, and the Young? towj Sheet and Tube company were quiet, for ? three-day holtdajrhad been declared, including Sunday and Labor Day. Young, town is a steel town, and the brawn and muscle of her chief industry formed the body of the parade which preceeded the discharge of the heavy political ord nance. ? The Cincinati Enquirer says the commanding feature of the day was the parade which preceeded the speaking in Wick park. There were a few over 12,000 men in line. Of these more than 10,000 came from Lue steel mills. Supplied with uni forms at the expense of the com panies, the toilers presented a strik ing appearance as they marched past the reviewing stand. Because of the opening a shut down of the mills was ordered till next Monday and the occasion made a holiday. But few of the workers attended the meeting in Wick park. This was easily seen by the lack of uniforms in the crowd. Probably not over one-tenth of the turnout came to hear the speeches. They found other attractions that the holiday furnished and were content tu let others listen. a5 "There were thousands of Hun garians, Roumanians and other Slav people in this division. Each man wove a khaki suit and carried a cane or flag furnished by his employers. They were divided into brigades and were organized on military lines, having regimental and brigade of ficers. One of che uiusual incidents occurred when the parade halted at the Eiks club. Some one called for a cheer for Taft. Out of the uni formed ranks in response came a roaring shout for Bryan and tne column moved on." This is the story. It carries its own argument, and requires very little comment by way of elucidation. Democratic Landslide. The mathematician of the Jack sonville Times-Union has been em ploying himsolf figuring out what >vould be the result of the presiden iial election if the Democratic gains in all the other states should equal t e gains made by the democrats in the recent state election in Maine. The result he presents amouni to a uerfect landslide. It leaves only fourteen states with 137 electoral votes, and give the democrats thir ty-two states with 346 electoral votes. This would give Bryan an electoral majority of 209 votes, or 13 more than Roosevelt's unprece dented majority fou.- years ago. So astounding is the result of this cal culation that the Times Union feels compelled to say: "Of course we do not make any such ridiculous claims as would be indicated by this talk." The Augusta Herald says * certainly not, for such a claim if made woulddbe received with incred ulous jeers and nobody likes to be laughed at. But one may speculate on results; one may reason from cause to effect and draw the con clusions they indicate. And looking at it in this light, the conclusion arrived at by the Times-Union does not seem 'ridioulous.' Roosevelt was elected by the largest majority' ever given a president. It has often happened that the largest majorities are most decidely reversed at the succeeding election. And so there seems nothing ridiculous in antici pating such a landslide as has surprised the Times-Union .as the result of its calculations." Ashamed of His Company. In commenting on the Foraker ex posure and Mr. 'faffs desire to part political company with that disting uished Republican politician. The State fires this broadside into the Republican presidential candidate: "But wny should Mr. Taft be so squeamish? Is not Nr. Taft's treas urer daily soliciting and accepting contributions from those persons that the Republican party rewards for financial supporc with 'protect ing* laws, the 'protection' being against low prices tor the Ameri can consumer? And if the presi dent of the United States, so ad mired by Mr. Taft, can commission Railroad Magnate E. H, Harriman to levy $260,000 tribute upon spec ial corporate interests in New York to pull Mr. Roosevelt out of a hole! in that State, why can not a mere United States senator sell his ser vices in Congress to the Oil Trusts?") Mr. Taft does not object to Fora ker's methods but he does not want to be seen in his company, because he has been caught red handed. Taft is being supported by worst I in km) to. y a matr "ILlfc. r.
