Teddy woke up the wrong passen ger when he tackled Bryan. "Me Too" Taft says he is sure ol . his election. We do not believe it. The general impression seems tc be that Billie B. knocked Teddy R oat in the third round. If Mr. Taft keeps on endorsing everything Teddy says and does he is In danger of being dubbed "Mi Too" Taft. Since it has been "found out" thai Tom Watson was greased in 1904 bj the Republicans he is lying worst than ever on Bryan. If all the rascals and liars wert kicked out of the Republican partj we are sure Roosevelt would have tc hunt new political affiliations. The Times and Democrat has. s few more of those Bryan badges sdli on hand. Come up, pay your dollai and get yours. The money goes tc The Democratic National Campaign fund. If the tax, levied on the people for the benefit of the trusts and collected indirectly through the operation oj the tariff laws, was collected direct from the people it would cause n revolution in a week. We do not believe that there is a paper in- the State that now looks upon Roosevelt as a trust buster. Ht had one or two fooled once, but tht scales have fallen from their eyes and they now know better. Every Democrat who can should make a contribution to the National Democratic Campaign fund.. The Democratic party has to depend on the people for the money to defray tho legitimate expenses, of the cam paign. After heaping abuse on Mr. Bryan in several lengthy effusions . Mr. Roosevelt declines to continue th>i debate on the ground that Mr. Bryan's last letter is merely a per sonal attack on him. Teddy knows when to quit. Who are the law defying trusts and corporations supporting in this campaign? Who do they want elect ed? Taft or Bryan? Has any one any doubt as to who they prefer7 Verily the ox k'noweth his owner and the ass his master's crib. If the real facts in both cases could be gotten at we believe an in vestigation would prove that Foraker is a better man that Roosevelt In every particular. We all know that Foraker will tell, the truth, which is more than Teddy will do in a pinch. There are a few people in South Carolina who would be delighted if a letter to or from "rare old Ben Tillman" would come to light in the Hearst collection. Such a thing is an Impossibility, howevor, as ras cals are not made out of men like Tillman. Some people are surprised that Mr. D. A. Tomkius of Charlotte is supporting Taft. Who else would he support? Is he not the Southern agent for a lot ct trust made machin ery, and are not all the trusts sup porting Taft; It may be a case of "have to" with Tomkins. The trust magnates of New York City contributed over three hundred thousand dollars to the campaign fund of Hughes when he was elected Governor of New York over Hears:. Considering the character of the fei low that the fund was used to do feat we can hardly blame the trust magnates. Whatever may be said about Sena tor Foraker tho South must ever feel kindly to him. It was through h-s influence while Governor of Ohio that tho Legislature of that Sta'e made an appropriation to purchase the grounds at Columbus, where thousands of Confederate soldiers are buried. He also had each patriot'> grnv<> marked with a small head stone. The Washington Herald feels a? surr?' that the resignation of M.\ Haskell and Mr. Dupont, an 1 the talk of the resignation of Mr. Sheldon *vi not indicate that Mr. Platt is goinc to get out. Nor Mr. Aldrich; nor M?*. Cannen; nor Mr. Sibley ; nor Mr. Penrose; nor Mr. Dalzell; nor Mr. Kean: ncr any of the trust repre sentatives who control th*> Republican Sin of Being "Found Out." f The frantic efforts of Mr. Roose velt to make it appear that his man Friday and Senator Foraker never were on very friendly terms, and iur. Taft's own frantic efforts to Jear his Immaculate skirts from the defiling touch of the Senator, be cause he has been caught in the Standard Oil dragnet, are ludricous indeed in view of the public protes tation of friendship of Taft and Fcraker just before the latter gentleman was "found out" to bo in the pay of the octopus. At To ledo on the occasion of the Grand Army of the Republic parade they buried all past differences and slob bered all over one another in the presence of admiring thousands of their Republican friends. A dozen or more doves of peace were turned loose, and the Republican press from Maine to Callforina published the glad news the next day in big type on the front page. Of course this was before Foraker was "found out" by the public. t The above love feast was held on September 2, and on September 10 Taft and Foraker held a forty min utes conference' at Mr. Taft's head quarters in Cincinnati. Senator Fcraker's presence on that occasion was the result of a special* invita tion from Mr. Taft's campaign man ager in Ohio, A. I. Vorys, who has a somewhat shady reputation himself as a pension attorney, but let that pass. After the conference Mr. Taft said: "Senator Foraker and I are both very much vexed at the re , ports of friction between us. There is no occasion for such reports.'' None at all, Taft and Foraker were then as thick as two thieves, but that was before the latter gentleman [had been "found out" by the public. Mr. Taft felt good over the as surance given him by his old time friend Foraker that he would do all he could for the success of the Republican National ticket and in speaking of the interview said: ("There has been a great deal of mis representation about the situation be tween Senator Foraker and myself. We discussed the general aspect of the campaign. Senator Foraker said he wanted to do all he could to bring about Republican success, and to call upon him when I needed him." Senator Foraker admitted "we had a very pleasing personal talk." This also occurred before the last named gentleman had been "found out" by the public. After Senator Foraker was "found out" Mr. Roosevelt said: "Mr Taft declines all overtures from the Foraker party in 1907?the pro posed agreement being that Foraker would support Taft's candidacy for the presidency, if Mr. Taft and the other Ohio leaders would throw their strength to the senatorial aspiration of Foraker. Mr. Taft then said 'that he would not consider for one moment any possible advantage tj himself when what he regarded as a great principle was at stake.' " Those are Mr. Rooseelt's words. But they do not tally with what hap pened at Toledo or at Cincinnati, or with'Mr. Taft's words concerning the love feast held by himself and Mr. Foraker at the latter place. The meetings between Taft and Foraker were so lovely that "Boss" Cox, of Cincinnati, who is the big gest rascal of chem all, with his new halo of virtue, affixed by Mr. Taft and appointed by the latter head of the local committee, ordered thous ands of the hand shaking "he is good enough for me" lithographs for dis tribution. But what a change a week brought in the situation, after Sen ator Foraker was revealed to the public as he had been known to the j Republican leaders for years. The peace doves were slain; the olive branches thrown into the ash barrel land Senator Foraker pitched'head long from Peach Mountain into [Despair, Gulch. Mr Foraker has been read out' of the party, repudi ated and reviled by Mr. Roosevelt, all because he committed the unpard onable sin of being "found out." Rare Old Ben Tillman. "One of the . curious consequences which have followed the exposures made by the letters given to the public by Mr. Hearst and the hot fight between the Republican and Democratic leaders which grew out of them. Is the admiration of Sena tor Tillman expressed by northern papers." The Augusta Herald thinks this is something entirely new, and says "formerly they all delighted In taking a knock at him." As the Herald goes on to say- even some of the papers In Senator Tlllman's own State were among those who abused him most. They found fault with everything. he did and represented him as a wild uncouth fellow in whom there could possibly be no good, a sort of senatorial bull in the China shop who could bellow, paw the earth, charge around and tear down, but who was unfit for any gool cause or work. This has change! now, and "northern papers have sud denly discovered that Senator Till man "was a fine asset of Uncle Sam" in his rugged honesty, a faithful and most valuable servant of the people "In the revelations made by the letters read by Mr. Hearst was the exposure of the fact that among those senators who were lubricated by Standard Oil was senator Mc Laurin, of South Carolina, who for one term was Senator Tillman's col league. Between these two no love was lost, for they were men totally unlike each other, and McLaurin sought to break Tillman's influencvl in South Carolina. He was aided j in his fight by President Roosevelt, I who manifested a striking, partiality* I for McLaurin and a corresponditv; I antagnoism to Tillman which went to the length of publicity antl deeply insulting him over a so :ial function. "How plain it all is now: McLau rin, serving the greatest offender' among the predatory trusts, expect-1 ing with its aid to make himself the ! political master of Sott'h Carolina: Tillman. in rugged honesty, standing up for thtj people, opposing the trus's and McLaurin, their ready friend. And Rocsevelt, with a cleir under standing of the situation which the people had not ?'then, forming a close friendship with McLaurin and aiding him in his designs, even to the ex tent of grossly insulting South Carolina's senior senator and fore : most citizen. ? "There was a bunch of those sena tors who were zealous friends of the trusts. < What caused this friendship has been revealed by the exposures that have been made in regard ? > [Senators Foraker, Bailey and others. The very idea of Senator Tillman falling under such a temptation it preposterous. There isn't a man liv ing who believes that Senator Till man would accept a fee to work for the trusts while holding a commis sion from the people, and when it is shown that other senators did this no wonder that papers like the Wash ington Herald are led to exclaim ad miringly: "Rare old Ben Tillman," and wish him mighty well these days." Same Terrible Teddy. That spasm of virtue which has come from the White House over the use of corporation money, and par ticularly Standard Oil money, in pol itics, is all-'very good and whole some; but it, also, causes us to re flect on the past. The New York World brings out the point?several of them, in fact?in a way that ia not easy to get around; and "lest we forget" offers a character study of the "vociferating jurist" which is well worth while. Says Che World "The Theodor e Roosevelt who burst forth in virtuous denunciation I of Senator Foraker and the Stand lard Oil Company Is the same Theo dore Roosevelt who summoned ! Edward H. Harriman to the White [House shortly before the 1004 elec tion and encouraged Harriman lo raise a $260,000 campaign fund [which could be used only to corrupt I votet s. "He is the. same Theodore Roose Ivelt who made George R. Cortelyou [chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1904, thus setting his chief corporation inquisitor to the task of collecting campaign tribute [from the corporations subject to Fed [eral investigation. ? - "He is the same Theodore Roose velt whose 1904 campaign was financed in part by life insurance contributions filched from the policy holders. "He is th? r*?-iN"? Theodore Roo.-c Ivelt who made Elihu Root, Thomas F. Ryan's attorney, secertary of the state in his cabinet. "Ho is the same Theodore Rojvj velt who made J. Plerpont Morgan's partner, Robert Bacon, assistant sec retary of State. "Ho is the same Theodore Roose velt who personally licensed the Steal Trust to acquire the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company regardless of the Sherman law. "He is the same Theodore Roose velt who commended the re-actiouary corporation platform adopted by the Chicago Convention and gladly ac cepted James S. Sherman as the Re publican candidate for vice president. "Mr. Roosevelt is greatly scandal ized by Senator Foraker's unseemly 'relations with the Standard I Oil Company; but what If Foraker haJ been a supporter of My Policies? Would the President have promptly repudiated him, or would the same [ mantle of executive charity have been thrown over Joseph Benson [ Foraker that was once thrown over I Paul Morton after that gentleman had been accused of granting re bates?" Senator Tillman. "One cannot help wishing Senator I Tillman well these days," says the Washington Herald. "He is over in Europe, recuper ating from his dangerous Illness of last spring. He is reported to be doing well In every way, and rapid [ly regaining a large measure of his old-time form, with excellent chances or regaining it all. "Few people, we take it, read those letters from Ex-Senator McLaurin to [the New York representative of the (Standard Oil Company, with the other documentary evidence of the fornu.r [Senator's unfitness and unworthi ness to wear a toga, without think ing at once of rare old Ben Tillman, his erstwhile colleague. They are such different types of public men. No danger of any letters being found In Standard Oil hands with the South Carolina fire-eater's name at tho bot tom to 'My Dear Mr. A.' that Tillman was a likely 'Investment.' Not much! "We hardly imagine the McLaurin I disclosure brought forth any snorts from the old war hero. We suspect Tillman had him pretty well siz id up. They never were friends in the Senate. The stinging rebuke admin istered to Tillman from the White House a few years ago, hecause of a difficulty he had with this same Mc Laurin, apparently wounded him for the time as few things ever wounded a man of his rugged nature. It may be that he has recovered almost. II not entirely, from that by this time, and if he has not, McLaurin's predic ament now must give him grim sat isfaction even though he may not gloat over It. 'We have been reading a good deal of late about the' bad mon in the Senate. It's in order to givn fervent thanks that there are mer af Tin man's moral persuasion t'cere yet; many of them. They are in the nn jority. It is easy for some men to give their consciences the benefit of the doubt when propriety Is being weighed in the balance. It is nut the way of. the Ti'.lnians. however. I Mis kind drive rough-slrjd to thy I honest goal: they do not quibble: [they do not temporize. It is the saf esi way. It insures the triumph Oi) cool iroverniuent in the end. "Yes, indeed, we wish Senate Tillman mighty well these days! H ' is a line rsset rf Trifle Ram.' May he live long ani'prosper!" Looking for a Landslide. There seems to be stronc, Indi cations in New York city that No vember will bring a Bryan landslide Since the Hearst exposures and thai alarming behavior of the President,! sentiment, seems, to ..have undergone a sudden revulsion.. The Birmingham Age-Herald quotes from one of the prominent banking and business men of that city, who upon his return from New York gave the following statements as to indications of a decided turn of the current iu Bryan's direction: "I had an interview with a party of five bankers and one broker, and when politics was discussed I was greatly surprised when they told me that the recent developments in con nection with the Hearst expose had aroused the political spirit to a re markable degree, and that the mon eyed interests of New York were talking Bryan .and predicting a lanl slide. Three of the bankers stated that they, for personal, and political reasons, would vote for Mr. Taft, but that they did not regard him now as even a possibility. They stated that the moBt powerful financial interests were leaning toward Bryat., having become satisfied that although it might be a graft scheme either way, by the election of Mr. Bryaa the country would be for four year3 relieved of agitation and that there could be no radical legislation, be cause the senate is Republican. "One of the bankers stated that he was some years a resident r*f Cincinnati and knew Judge Taft in timately; that while Taft himself was personally a man of the highest character ,he is handicapped on the one side by his brother Charley, who made his miiuons as a boodltr, and also by Boss Cox, the notorious grafter and ward politician of Cin cinnati, and on the other hand by the autocratic and domineering per sonality of Roosevelt. I met other business men, and gathered that the next result of Hearst's attack was an uprising among the business people of New York which had in view the elimination of Hearst from politics as an individual, and it seemed to shape itself toward Bryan as a proposition of conservatism." Refnsed to Be Fired. An interesting story is being told in Washington of how it happened that Postmaster Sherman C. Den ham, at Clarksburg, Va., success fully resisted being displaced for "pernicious political activity" and I will retain his office, at least until I after the election. Members of the Scherr faction in West Virginia called the attention of !the President to Postmaster Denham and Representative Hubbard, of the Clarksburg district, and demanded that the President remove the post master. Denham replied by saying he had a letter from Mr. Hitchcock, in which he commanded him to ph I tain passage of a resolution in tho West Virginia State committee en dorsing Taft, and to do other pro convention political work In the Interest of Taft. Word was conveyed to the Presi dent from the postmaster that if Denham was disciplined he would publish the letter from Mr. Hitch cock, in justification of what he hvl done. The case waB considered at a cabinet meeting, and, aside from ex pressions of curiosity aB to what Mr. Hitchcock had written and some re gret that he had written it ,the case [was laid aside. Of course everybody will admire I Postmaster Denham's nerve and he (will receive many congratulations on his refusal to be fired, but it Is a [pity that the Hitchcock letter cannot be made public at this time. It would throw some interesting and much needed light on the subject of "pernicious political activity." Teddy' Spasm of Virtue. The Augusta Chronicle, in speak |ing of Roosevelt's change of heart in reference to campaign contribu | tion?, Bays "time was when even Standard Oil money wasn't consid ered so 'tainted' as it is now. It. doubtless, touched the palm of many a Republican statesman besides For aker. Indeed, it would be interest ing to know just how much of it the Hon. Mark Hanna managed t\? squeeze out for that many-million [ dollar campaign fund, with whicn Bryan was first defeated. But we [may yet know something as to that; provided, of course, Hearst and his sneak-thleves can filch a few more private letters. Which latter, while thoroughly contemptible and beyond the methods of decent-minded men, is, at least, not so bold a fraud [on the public as Mr. Roosevelt's sudden spasm of virtue." . If President Roosevelt would give the real reason for his refusal to answer Bryan's last letter it would be the same as that given by an [old hunter for suddenly calling his dogs off of a bear hunt, which was that "the trail was getting too deni hot." If you will read Bryan's let ter, which we publish in this issue, you will find that he was protty hot on Teddy's trail as it lead from the White House to Harriman's office and other trust dens. In the campaign of 1S96 the Sib ley that figures so in the Archbold letters was a warm supporter of Mr. Bryan, but soon after that campaign he seems to have gotten in touch with the Standard Oil Company and went into the Republican party, where his new trust association nat urally lead him. He has been a Republican and trust promoter ever since. When we think of Bryan taking the place of the collosal humbug that now occupies iho Presidential chair we get on tne smile that refuses to enmo off. For Rent.
