The Martinsville Reporter still Insist* that the Democrats will repe-] the county local option law. To Mr. Watson and the editors of many Republican paper* a promise p- .-ms to mean nothing. Perhaps it is memory of the many broken pledges of this particular Republican candidate tc- governor that makes them thus The Democratic candidate for tue executive chair says he will take no action to repeal the law. The same thing has been definitely stated by all the temperance Democrats. The law will be given a chance. If it fails it must go. The Reporter sees political advantage jn repealing the law. and knowing that is what Mr. Watson would do. perhaps may do, and judging others honesty by Mr. Watson's, and perhaps its own, declares that what the Democrats say Is deliberately untrue. In the light of his record, any man's word is. at least, as good as Mr. Watson’s, and entitled to as much credence, till proof other than possibilities based on nothing is brought forward.

THE GREAT TAFT ADE

CUE.”

'BARBE-

George Ade of Newton county, Indiana, is a professional Joke-maker, but It was not suspected that he would work off such a funny trick as his great Taft ''barbecue” turned out to be. Instead of a free feast of roasted beeves and trimmings, there were ' full

Those flashy orator contradicted himself no who were thoughtful enough to bring less than a half dozen times on is- the price got something to eat. The sues of importance. Either he was rest were compelled to fill up on Mr. quite incapable of seeing the incon- Taft - S speech And this was far from

sistency himself, or he believed , satisfactory

his audience could not see it. One

position is a reflection on his own j intelligence, the other an insult to j the intelligence of his hearers.

DO THE PEOPLE RULE?

Mr. Taft talked about a larger navy, a stronger army and coast defenses, something in which they had little interest. while he ignored the live i*s:iej< of tariff revision, injunctions, guaran

1 tee of hank deposits, publicity of camA.I toe Recant Publications Convince paign funds, and other questions about the Voters that Trusts Control which they desired to hear his views Legislation. Surely Mr. Ade maintained his reputa-

tion as one of the greatest humorists

HOW THEY

After all the excitement over the

publication of the Standard Oil letters, ot the da >-

showing that trusts control legislation, has reached the stage where the voters sift the wheat from the chaff of ' sensational publications, what will be j the logical conclusion in the minds '

of the voters? It will be:

1—That the people do not rule because the national lawmakers legis I late to suit the trusts. More trusts ; exist today than ever, the people suffer more from them, and they prac-

tice more extortion.

2.—That the party in power is the i party through which the trusts rule. The Republican party is now in power. It writes all the national laws. In a speech In the last Congress, Mr. Sherman (candidate for Vice President), declared that the Republican party assumed all responsibility for everything that has been done and for what

has not been done.

FRY”

THE CORPORATIONS.

As soon as George R. Sheldon, the notorious trustlte of New York, was chosen by Mr. Taft as treasurer of hia campaign fund at the request of Cromwell, the r<-presentalive of Harriman and Standard Oil, he declared in an Interview mat the trust question was a mere "bugaboo.” Later it was given out that checks received by him from corporations had been returned with the suggestion that sucii checks were I prohibited by law and that the conj tributlona should he sent In by “indi- | vlduals" Interested in the corporations. It is said that this was done, the law

That is right, i h av lbK , > f ‘' i> "Bot around” in this way.

The trusts write the tariff laws passed And now the fact has been disclosed by Republican votes. If the magnates that the Republican national commit-

are not punished criminally, it is be

cause Republican officials fail in their duties. For eleven years the Democrats have had no power to frame Federal laws or to execute a Federal statute. If everything in America is all right as to Federal laws for eleven years, the Republican party deserves the credit. If “evils have crept in” the Republicans are responsible. The only hope for a change lies in the election of Bryan. Suppose some individual Democr„t has been employed by a trust. He could not get a law passed, he could not get "an immunity bath,” he could do nothing effectively for the trusts unless a majority of the Republican Congressmen favored the trust me? a

INCONSISTENCY. The Republican press and Republican speakers, in their campaign against Bryan are re-sorting to the most inconsistent statements. As an illustration, take the two statements that are now the stock in trade of the Republican wind-jammer: first, that Bryan ought not to he elected because of the effect on business, and that it is useless to elect him because he can not carry out the reform promised. The latter statement they claim is true because there will he a majority of the United States Senate Republican in spite of what may happen in the November elections, and tiiis majority will not allow the Democratic reforms to become laws. If it is true that none of these proposed reforms can become laws through the opposition of the Republican members of the senate, how,then, can Bryan he dangerous to the country? He is admitted lo be perfectly honest, on the side of the people, of high Ideals, wherefore, then dangerous, when there is a Republican senate to guard against the proposed reforms. On the other hand, why not place In the chair a man who will watch from the executive point of view the actions of the ‘‘interests” that have heretofore contributed to Republican success, who will watch the millionaire sen-

e'-rape responsibility by trying to pick ome Democrat who has been emr j d by a trust. Recent disclosures prove that the people do not rule, but that the trusts owe their existence and fatne&t to Republican laws and Repub-

lican officials.

TAFT AFRAID TO TRUST THE PEOPLE. President Roosevelt declared In a public letter to Mr. Bryan that he opposes the publication of campaign contributions before the election because the people might give the sources ot the contribution.- an undue Importance in casting ihtlr votes—In other words, that they might h< influenced acainst a man who was being financially sup ported by the trusts an 1 other mercenary and suspicious interests. This was an „ virion for Mr. Roos< velt but when Roosevelt had g . 3 cue, Taft took the same groun-i and und- rtook to fortify hfms< :f by the statement that there is no law in either Europe or America cotni - tie publication of contributions and exix-ndittires before the election. Mr Taft ought to know that when a thing Is right it should be done, whether there is a law comp< liing it or not. The trouble with Mr. Taft and his enntpaicn managers is that they do not dare publish the names of the men who are fu’-nishing them with money. Th<are d- t< rniin.-d that the people shall not know who an* maxing the fight against them. STANDARD CIL AND TAFT. Chari- - Nag- who Is in charge of the Chicago headquarters of the Republican national committee, is an attorney of record for the Standaid Oil company. In addition to having charge of the Western headquarters and being only second in command to Mr. Hitchcock. Mr Nagel is the Missouri member of the Republican national committee. Several years ago Mr. Nagel was appointed by the Roosevelt administration a special attorney In certain indian land cases involving oil and other natural resources, and drew a hig fee from the government for hts services. He was thus in a position to look after and protect the interests of his client, tlii- Standard (til company. Nagel has openly and privately defended all of th worst practices of the Standard Oil company and opposed every step taken by the Missouri authorities to make that insolent monopoly obey the law. Senator Foraker was read out of the Republican party because ho was once an attorney for the Standard Oil company. The question naturally arises, what will the president do to Mr. Nagel, who Is still an attorney for the Standard Oil company and who is the Western manager of the Republican

campaign.

AMAZING BLUNDER OF TAFT. In a speech at Lincoln, Neb., on Sept. 30th. Mr. Taft, the candidate of the officeholders’ trust (and other trusts) for president, said this: “The chief objection to the publication of contributions before the election is that It makes certain that In the heat of the controversy the motives of those who contribute to pay the legitimate expenses of the campaign will be misconstrued, perverted and misrepresented. The candidates in whose behalf the contributions are made will !►« charged in a most unfair way as being completely under the control of those who make the contribu-

tions.”

They will not be "charged in a most unfair way” If the contributions come from proper souro s. The Democrats are not afraid of such a charge. They •re going to make their contributions

The Indianapolis Star Is being oper- 'public before the election, but as all of ated by a receiver appointed by the j their contributions will come from the United States court. Under these cir people It will not hurt Mr. Bryan to be cnmstances it might he expected to tell 1 .-harg.d with being “under the control the truth about the public utterance* of th- -' who make the eontrlbutiott.* of so honorable and high minded z Mr Taft a(lmijs that ho dare not #how man as Thomas R. Marshall. But a t0 the peop | e who „ ,, that ,, pay|no small mater like the truth doesn't (the expenses of hi. campaign.

tee is ignoring the federal statute tnak in" unlaw ful for corporations to give money for campaign purposes. A letter addrt-.ssi d to a Chicago corporation urgently appealing for funds was issued Aug. 21 from Republican national headquarters on stationery of the Republican national committee. This letter was signed by Fred W. T'pham, assistant treasurer of the Republican committee. At the top of this stationer> was tl.<- name of Frank H. Hitchcock, the Republican national chairman, and the names of all of the officers of the committee, of which he is the directing head. For fear the ap-

ures. The Republican orators can not peal for corporation aid might be over-

looked t’pham enclosed in his letter a self addressed envelope in large print, which directed that the return of the sinews of war be made to him at the headquarters of the Republican national committee, 234 Michigan avenue, Harvester Building, Chicago, III. Mr, Upham’s fat-frying letter contained the following significant lines: All the funds, therefore, for the campaign must be supplied by individuals. You are requested to bring this matter to the attention of your business associates and ask each to send a check. Mr. Upham’s motto seems to be: “Get It legally if you can—but get It.” Roosevelt and Taft approve the Republican plan not to make contributions public until after the election. The least that can be said about the whole thing is that it is a dirty piece of busi-

ness.

BILLY AND UNTRUTHFUL ORGAN. The Indianapolis Star (Republican

state organ) says:

In an address at Terre Haute Marshall criticised the ministers of Indiana for trying to bring about the enactment of a county local option law. He accused them of “beating a bass drum” for the Republicans. At Washington, Bedford and other places Marshall repeated the charges against the

ministers.

Ohio For Bryan. The result of the first day’s registration in Ohio insures a Democratic victory in the Buckeye state on November 3. In Cincinnati, the home of William H. Taft. 5,000 le.-s voters registered than on the fame day four years ago. while in Cleveland there was a falling off of 10,000. What does this condition mean? Stop and look at the situation for a moment. There is no split or factional discord among Ohio Democrats. Under the leadership of Judson Harmon the Democracy of Ohio is united as never before in the history of the state. It will present a solid front to the enemy on election day, and the Democrats who do not go to the polls will be only those whom Imperative necessity calls elsewhere. Therefore, this falling off in registration cannot be laid at the doors of the Democrats. But how about the other fellows. Foraker is outside the breastworks and Taft is neither asking nor expecting any help from him. Cox, who permitted Taft to have the vote of his own state at the Chicago convention in return for a promise of federal patronage. sMll remembers that it was not very long ago when Taft said that he was not fit for the companionship of decent men. and doubtless Is not bursting any buttons in getting out the Republican

vote.

Ohio for Bryan! It can mean nothing else. New York, New Jersey. Delaware, Corpoctirut. Maryland, perhaps without a single exception, are surer than Ohio. The election of William J. Bryan to the presidency of the United States is as much a certainty as if the votes were in and the result announced. C,,ine hack, O, smooth-worn, thread-bare phrase, we need thee in this hour. ‘‘R's going to he a landslide.”—Laporte Argus-Bulletin.

Taft and the Innocent Farmer. Beet sugar, he said, was a trustmade article. The Democrats proposed to put all such articles on the free list, just to punish the trusts. This would, he maintained, not only punish the trusts, hut would also punish many innocent farmers and producers as well.—(From a report of Mr. Taft's speech at Denver.) In the first place the Democratic party advocates a tariff for revenue as a sound economic policy, and not as a spite measure to even scores with the Beet Sugar Trust or any other trust. Mr. Taft and the writers of his platform favor a high protective tariff as a policy profitable politically. That they regard it as not entirely defensible upon other ground is plainly evident from the fact that for many years they have “trimmed” during campaigns and stood pat after elections. But since Mr. Taft has mentioned the innocent farmer In a fatherly way. let us see just what his attitude toward the agriculturist really is. In the Philippines there are innocent farmers whose chief product is sugar and tobacco. Yet Mr. Taft, who has thrilled audiences in many lands by his eloquent protestations of regard for the little brown brother, accepted without question a platform in which the Republican machine had Inserted a clause favoring the policy of collecting an import lax upon all sugar and tobacco shipped from the Philippines to the 1 nlted States—a tax sufficiently large to guarantee a reasonable profit to the Sugar Trust and the Tobacco Trust. This indicates the depth and sincerity of President Roosevelt's candidate’s regard for the Innocent farmer as compared to his tender affections for the trusts that are contributing such sums to the Republican campaign fund that the President and the President’s candidate are forced to admit that the publication of a list of contributions would embarrass and possibly defeat the Republican party In November. —Courier-Journal.
