BRYAII AGAIN PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO THEO. ROOSEVELT (Continued F,m Page One.)

mauds that corporations beyond- a certain sice be compelled to sell at

the game price In all parts of the coun

try, due allowance being made for the

cpst of transportation. Will you deny

that this is in the Interest of the con-

unmer and In the interest of the

smaller competitors? We present a

plan under which no corporation will be permitted to control more than one

half the total production. It has been stated that the steel company with your express consent, purchased one

of its largest rivals and thus obtained control of more than fifty per cent of

the total output. Will you insist that In permitting this you showed less favor to monopolistic corporations than I do In opposing it?

You quote at length from a speech made by Governor-Hughes in which he ridicules one of our Anti-Taft remedies. In this same Governor Hughes who was counted as one of the "al

lies", who endeavored to defeat Mr,

Taft when as you insisted, Mr. Taft represented the "reformers" of your

party and his opponents the reaction

arr element? Did not Governor

Hughes have the support of the New York delegation in the . convention and is not New York city the home of many republicans most conclous in their connection with law defying corporations? J You certainly are aware of the fact that in the statement filed by George R. Sheldon, then treasurer of the republican state committee, two years ago after Mr. Hughes' election, it appears that the following contributions were made to the campaign fund: J. Pierpont Morgan 120,000; John D. Rockefeller $5,000; Andrew Carnegie $50,000; Charles M. Schwab $2,000; John W. Gates $2,000; W. E. Corey $2,000; ; W. Nelson Cromwell $1,000; V. P. Havemeyer $800; B. M. Duke $500. Several of these men were known to be officially connected with the trusts Would the fact these gentlemen con-

iiiuulcu iw hid wamymfeu. iuuu oitcusthen or weaken his testimony against the reasonableness of our anti-trust remedy? You cannot have failed to notice Governor Hughes In his Bpeech assumed the role of critic and not that

ui a conservative s iai.ee man, any one possessing, vivid imagination and pen, can find objections to remedial measures. Lord McCauley Is quoted as saying that eloquent and learned men could be found to dispute law of gravitation if there were any advantage to be gained by It, but when "known abuses" are to be cured an ounce of remedy Is worth a pound of fault findtag. . . As you quote Governor Hughes. I take it for granted that Mr. Taft has not yet expressed himself in as satisfactory manner on the subject, for you would naturally:: pYefer to quote from the presidential candidate wherever passible. Tou say, "Let us repeat that no law defying corporation has any other reason to fear from you save what, it will . suffer in general paralysis business," etc. Speaks of Panic. Referring to the last part of the tentence first. I might question your ( bility to act as an expert as to panic

Preventatives,,, since you now have one;

on your hands, but as to your charge 'that no law defying corporation has reason to fear direct effort of anti-! trust remedies whichvI favor, permit, me to suggest your testimony on this 1

witness, to be sure, but your interest in the result of the election must be taken into consideration In weighing your testimony t There is better evidence that trust magnates know ' their own interests and they are supporting Judge Taft. Not one of the trust magnates helped to secure my nomination, while it is a matter of "common notoriety" they are supporting your party in this campaign. If you will name a single official connected with "law defying corporation," monopoly" or trust, who has declared or will declare that he is supporting me, I will publicly warn him that I will enforce against him also laws demanded in the democratic platform as soon as those lavs can be enacted. , ' - i. But there is another fact which raises the presumption in favor of our party and against your party. I referred to it in my former letter, but you Inadvertently overlooked it in your reply. And members of your cabinet called In for consultation, evidently did not notice it. I stated that we had not knowingly received a dol-

Truth and Quality appea to; the Well-Informed ,in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. 'Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acta without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. , It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co only, andfonsale by all leading drug-ftstoT

lar from any official connected with a ' corporation known as a trust, and that any money so received was to be returned as soon as we received knowledge of the fact. I now remind you that your convention deliberately rejected by vote, nine to one, a plank favoring the publicity as to campaign contributions. Mr. Taft has repudiated the action of the convention and rebuked the members of the convention by declaring himself in favor of the publicity law, but he favors publicity! after election, while we favor publicity before election. Which do you regard as the better plan, to let the people know before election what influences ,

are at work, or let them know after election?. Publicity Before Elections. Are you willing to say any public interest was served In 1904, by concealing until after election contributions made to republican campaign committees by Mr. Harriman, and those collected by him from others? Are you willing to say that publication before election, at contributions then made, would have had no effect on election? As I have said we shall publish the names of contributors above ' $100. Will you ask your national committee to publish before elections contributions of over $100, or if you regard this as too small a sum, contributions over $1,000, or if" this also too small, contributions above $10,000. If not, what reason will you give to the public forjaot-dolng so? I Insist" that our willingness to let the public know of the source from which we receive , our contributions raises the presumption in our favor that must be overcome before you can ask the people to accept your statement that law defying ''corporations have more to fear from republican success than from democratic victory. In conclusion you say that you ask support for Mr. . Taft, "because he stands for the moral uplift of the Nation; because his deeds have made good his words, and because the policies to which he is committed are of Immeasurable consequence, alike to the honor and Interests of the whole

American people."

Compares Efforts. v I dare to compare my efforts for the

moral uplift of .the. Nation with his efforts. My deeds with his deeds and"

policies to which I am committed, with policies to which he Is commit

ted. And more than that, If I may as

sume that he wl follow In your foot

steps, -1 dare to compare my ideal of

the presidency with his. I do not re

gard it as proper for a president to use his prestige, his influence or his patronage, to aid one member of his party as against another who aspires to office, and I regard as as, violation

of obligation that the president owes

to the whole people to use an office

that belongs to the whole people as

a party asset for the advancement of a personal friend and political protege.

Believing that the president should not be tempted to use that power for his own advantage,' and it is equally re

pugnant to the spirit of our United States thta he should use it for any one else's advantage. I tried to secure an amendment to the constitution limiting the president to a sin

gle term, and I have announced in

three campaigns, that if elected, I

would not be a candidate for renomi-

nation. I believe that the occupant of j so high an office, with such enormous power at his command, should be ab-; solutely free to devote himself unself-1 lshly to his country's welfare, and I j am sanguine enough to believe that if entrusted with power I would be able to make my administration so sue-! cessful that members of my party could without interference from me 'f select one most. worthy to carry on; that the administration would speak 1 for itself and that it would not be ' necessary for me to defend in bulletins j or pronuciamentos. I think I could j

in this way give to members of opposite parties, as well as members of ray own party, a "square deal." e Vry truly yours. W. J. Bryan. , Has a Busy Day. Mr. Bryan arrived in Milwaukee

early this evening and made several speeches. Tonight's program includ--ed an address at Kosciusko park, at Riverview Roller Rink and at dinner' at the Planklnton house. During the day Bryan spoke at Janesville and .

Madison.' He is traversing the same ground recently covered by Taft, his republican opponent. 1 : , Bryan Peevish. Gossip on the Bryan train Is to the effect that Bryan is exceedingly peevish as the result of the treatment he received in Chicago from the national committee where he was told in effect by Norman Mack, it is said, that he might run along and do the speechifying for which he was nominated, while the national committee would attend to the Haskell matter. The Haskell matter was attended to, it is said, without consultation with Mr. Bryan, or even an adherence to his wishes.
