Who fiivtai the Money? “'ll I» said that Mr. Sheldon's rommittee is non: getting lots of money. There are all sorts of -tori'-s. which, in the absence of authoritative in* formation, the people ..ave a perfect right to believe. We are told that the W'.'.! Street brokers have been ass* ?. I00 each, and that they are paying the ass»:-ssment. It is

•

ed in Wall Street within the last two weeks. As a result those statesmen who think that elections are merely financial affairs seem to be somewhat encouraged. Now. as we have said, there is no way of knowing whether these reports are true Of course, they will be denied when it is felt that they are doing harm to the cause. But denials will count for little, since it would be* an easy matter to put the people rieht. All that Mr. Sheldon, treasurer of th< national committee, ha- to do i- to publish a full list of hi- contributions with the names of the men making them. But this is tvt at Sheldon refugee to do. In one of his spee he-. Friday. Mr. Bryan said: What evils are marshaled bebin 1 the Republican ticket? What debts

1> in -impathy with him and his platform, several of the chief planks of w hi h have been and are still advocated by the progressive Wisconsin -•ar -tnian. Said Mr. Lafollette: "Bob is simply supporting Mr Taft for the sake of party regularity in much the same way as Mr. Bryan s yported Mr Parker four years ago His heart, however, is for Bryan and the principles for which he stands. Bob ought to be a Democrat: he stands for things which are Democratic. I know the feeling of the men who are the supporters of my brother in Wisconsin and I know that they are going to vote for the great Commoner."

tional committee has taken the nation into it.- confidence and given forth a list of its contributors This is in the interest of honest politics ami honest government. It opens a new era. Will the Republicans dare to defy a universal sentiment and inainlain the secrecy that has given predatory wealth its hold upon the oOevrnment? The Republican national convention deliberately voted down a plankpledeing publicity and the Republican candidate insists that the contributions should not be made known until after the election, when the information can be of but li!t!«

service

We do not believe that Mr. Shel-

don and Mr. Taft realize what a painful impression is being create 1 hy this eon ■ ast between the action

wo committees. Every imissue in the campaign is inFor Instance, the Uepubliy promises a revision of the But what sort of revision? That may depend, as it has dep on the past, on what interests t:ibut< t .l> the campaign fund, altitude of the party toward trusts may be powerfully affecti mcney paid by the trusts into Sheldon's fund. So with the reads—so with the "interests"

orally. The only definite :ggestions concerning tariff revision that we have had are from Mr. Taft and Senator Hemenway. The former thinkthat the present very high duties on pottery ought to be raised, while Mr. Hemenway thinks that possibly it may be found advisable to increase the tinplate tariff, in spite of the fact that vast fortunes have been made under the present duties. Have the potttry and the tinplate people contributed to the Republican fund? No one knows. No one will know—

till after the elec*ion.

The Republican party can not claim to be above suspicion in this regard. For years It has been levying on the great protected industies; for years it has allowed them practically to write our tariff laws. Th • only way to dispel the suspicion is for the Republican party to take the people fully into its confidence. In our opinion, this is one of the most important issues in this campaign. It is important in itself, and Important in its bearing on other Issues. In these closing days of th* 1 struggle we have the old stories of big contributions from men selfishly interested in the result of the elec tion. stories which in the past hav been found to be largely true. Yet the only possible method of denying them is not resorted to. What ought the people to think? What can the--think? Is it true that within the last two weeks Sheldon has received more morey from Wall Street than has been received by the Democratic committee during the whole campaign? We nan not tell.

Republljeant heads its story with: THOUSANDS OF PUPILS SUFFER FROM HUNGER The Inter Ocean begins the horrible story telling of the starving of the little ones in the midst of Republican prosperity." with the following: Five thousand children often go to school breakfastless. Fully fifteen thousand school children of Chicago are underfed and habitually hungry. Mothers go supperless to bed In order that their children may have food in the morning. Half-clad and crying children have lieen found on the streets begging dead fowls and rotten fruit to eat. These are some of the statements in the report on indigent children filed with the school management committee of the board of education. Summarizing the causes which produce the conditions of hunger the Tribune (Republican) cites, "lack of 1 employment.” and the "constant increase in the cost of living without a corresponding increase in wages" as the chief reasons for the horrors. During the present Republican panic hungry children have not even been provided with free soup-houses.

TRUSTS OFFERING BRIBES IN THE INTEREST OF TAFT The Standard Roller Ball Bearing Company, of Philadelphia, is a trust In Itself and It is also allied with the steel trust. S. S. Eveland president I of the concern, called upon Mr. Taft and after a ’’satisfactory' conversation.’’ went back home and posted this bribing and intimidating notice in the

trust s shops:

The reduction of 10 per cent in wages last winter was to have been restored when business conditions would warrant It. While we are busy at present, we feel that Its continua tion will depend upon the result of the presidential election and that if Mr. Taft is elected a general improvement in sll lines of business will result. "On November 28th, we will, therefore. restore the old rating to all employes whose wages were reduced 10 per cent last winter, provided Mr. Taft is elected president. “S 8. EVELAND, President.’' Eveland says in his notice that we 1 are busy at present," which means that the old wages could be restored now, hut the trust offers a provisional restoration as a bribe. Eveland likes Taft. After he had talked with him he felt so sure of the offleehoiding candidate that he gave out this opinion in a public interview: • Taft Is a very different man f. om Roosevelt. It is all right for the people out West to think that Taft is just like Roosevelt. Just keep them thinking that way, but we Jn the East know different. Why. there is no comparl- | son between the two.” Now. the question is. what kind of a game is Taft trying to play? And are there any conscientious people who ] will help him play t ?

dispute the claim of the Governor and Democrats and Republicans alike regret to see Mr. Moore despoiled of the honor he has in the past been claiming as author and promoter of the Moore Law. Mr. Moore made his characteristic campaign spewh. and pointed with pride, backward, to his legislative record. He said, however, that he was opposed to the special session of the legislature recently called by the governor, and admitted that the governor had the Republicans in a box and the only thing that they could do was to pass the County Option Law, for if they did not they would be called cowards by the Democrats and this Mr Moore could not riand. an j hence to avoid the accusation of cowardice the Republicans were forced to pass the bill. Mr. Moore told us that it would be no easy thing to put the Local Option Law into operation as it would require at least 1040 legal voters to put the law to test, and that it would be well to have many more than 1040 legal voters as many named might be taken from the petition. He did not tell us that It would cost the taxpayers of the county about *3500 to hold a special election, and that this expense would have to be met every two years, or In other words that It w-ould cost the taxpayers of the county about $150 per month as long as the law lived to vote saloons out of a Republican Township, by the way, the strongest and most enthusiastic hot-bed of Republicanism in Putnam County, Greenoastle Township and City. Mr. Moore never mentioned the fact that every Democratic Township in Putnam County had already settled the saloon question, but as a parting shot at us told us to vote for morality and the Republican party and not vote with the saloon party, (!. e .) the Democrats. Mr. Moore has evidently but little faith In the morality of the voters of Greencastle, and Greencastle Township, since he virtually admits that the City of Greencastle , and the Township is unable to handle the saloon question alone. He fears that God and morality and the Republican majority located almost In the shadow of DePauw University cannot, or could not, vote saloons out of Greencastle without calling for help of the other thirteen townships of the county, o. shame, shame. Now Mr Moore, when next you make a speech, will you please explain why Greencastle Township and City could not, if we had a township option law. vote out the saloons at its own expense. Why would It oall on the Democratic townships for help? You boast of Greencastle as being th/> seat of intelligence, the home of morality, the strong-hold of Republicanism. (the only township in the county that ever elected a negro to a public office), the place that gave birth to Asbury University, and now the home of the greatest Methodist College west of the Alleghany Mountains, with all Its boasted faculty, who are now playing politics, and urging the unsophisticated students under their charge to vote the Republican ticket, with all these elements combined you confess yourself unable to do what Cloverfiale Township and Town did almost twenty vars ago. Me settled the saloon question at our own expense and did rot get a single penny from Greencastle. We made no loud howl either, nor did we try to make a political question out of the saloon or drug store. We did this work, not as a political party, but citizens, friends end neighbors, and at that time we had about 200 Democratic majority In our township, and still Mr. Moore
