MIMMIB* SHERMAN'S TURN.
The Mew Tork World Monday pub-
iwt^i aa astounding revelation of a
con-. inury oa the part of Jamas
Bel.. »!craft Sherman. Republican can-
ntde.'o for Vlco-Proaldent of tha United
ax*-**, and big associates fn tha New
Mexico Lumber and Development
Company to obtain vast traots of pub
lic land* Illegally from tha Territorial
Government of New Mexico at a frac
tion of thetr value, an undertaking In
which they were flrat Interrupted by
the active prosecution that was begun
of persons Implicated (n land frauds
and were subsequently foiled by tha
failure In the United Rtatea Senate of
a blU they bad gotten through the
House at Washington, of whldh Mr.
Sherman was a member.
Th* revelations are mad# by Ed
mund Burke, a lawyer, and one of
Sfwwman’a partners fn tha enterprise,
and It la given with such detail and
rrcord data as leaves little room to
doubt the aocuracy of tbe story.
Burke says 11.000 was paid to tha
Territorial board to arrange the *4eal”
Dummy entry men were to be uaed to
ti ke up the land. Senator Spooner
advised them that this was dangerous.
An attempt to secure legislation by
Congress to facilitate the grab was
Mocked in the Senate by tha objection
of Senator Patterson. of Colorado.
The record of the legislation Is given
In substantiation of the story, llurke
wrote to Sherman In August last that
an attempt was being made to get htm
to "give away* the details of tha
scheme and he wrote to apprise Sher
man of what was oo foot and to as-
cure him that be (Burke) would never
betray him. Sherman answered
ftnrke'a letter thanking (Burke for Ihe
warning. Tha World publishes both
letters.

that Mr. 8herman. with a Los An-

to obtain 160,000 acres of New

This MU was produced to take tha
place of a simple Democratic bill pro
vldlng for publicity of campaign con-
trlbutlona. It reached a vote In tha
House of Representatives on May 32,
HOI, and passed the House by a
strictly party vote of yeas, 111, and
naye, 121.
Mr. Crumpacker, In his epsech ad
vocating tha blU and In referring to
tha fourteenth section of It, said:
T believe that to be perhkpa the
most Important of the amend
ments.
H lt Is the belief of a great
many people, Mr. Speaker,
that there are probably twen-
ty-Ave representatives In this

kiitlon. who, If the conatltutlonal

B reater evil than either, and that
i that gentlemen should come to
this llouae of Representatives, not
by virtue of votes of their fellow-
cfllsans, but by virtue of the aup-
f rreealon of the votes of their fel-
uw-cttlsene. . , . Tt 1s a no
torious fact that In certain States
representation and population have
no relation to each other. . . .
Tha representative of the Jlrst
district of Mississippi, for example,
la sitting hare by virtue of 2,BIS
volet, The representative® of the
First district of Pennsylvania Is
sitting here by virtue of TB.B7B
votes. (Applause on *he Repub
lican side ) . • . Thera Is not
a representative, an alleged repre
sentative. from tha State of Mis
sissippi on tha floor of this House
who had any oppoettfon to hla
election.

sends eight men here from the
Btato of Mlastaatppl la laaa than

Of course he did not care to explain
that the light vote In Mississippi was
due to the white primary, where the
heavy voting it done.

because there were Democrats In the

EFFECT OF GRAVES' SPEECH.
Mr. John Temple Graves Is ao
truthful and high-minded a gen
tleman that none who know him
would question tho Hlncerlty of
any statement ho would make or
attribute to him any other motive
than he avowed, but the whole ef
fect of his speech last night. If It
had any effect, was to the Injury
of Mr. Bryan, whom he exhibited
In exceedingly unfriendly light,
while not once mentioning the
name of Mr. Taft. Certainly the
party at the instanoo of which
Col. Or&ven Is on the stump could
have no other motive In scn41ftf
him out. Mr. Hearat ha® a griev
ance, real or Imaginary, against
Mr. Bryan and a purpose to dis
credit the Nebraskan even In
State* which he knows he will
carry.—Charlotte Observer.
In Atlanta *Col. Graves said: "For
eight years my faith was pinned to
William J. Bryan aa tho hope of Dem
ocratic reform. I am sorry with all
my heart that*my Idol hgs nhown Ite
foot of clay."
In what way ha* hla “Idol shown Its
feet of cloy" since Col. Graves' Chat
tanooga speech In which Col. Graves
lauded Mr. Bryan as a great nnd g»*0d
man and asked him to nominate
Roosevelt for a third term? Was it In
the failure of Mr. Bryan to rise to
the transcendent heights Col, Graves
had mapped out for him that ho ax
posed the mud In h|» pedal extretnl
ties? It Is curious, to say the least
of It, that CoJ. Graves' discovery of
the Aaw In hla Idol ahould have boon
coincident with the organisation of
Mr. Hearat'a Independence party (in
corporated), hla alleged employment by
Mr. Hearat to edit one of hla papers
(Mi real employment being to assist
In the organisation of Mr. Hearat'a
party) and hi* aubaequent nomination
by Mr. Hearat'a party for Vlce-Prrol-
dent on Mr. He&rsl's Independence
ticket. Now come* a competent and
conservative commentator on the evi
dent motive of Col. Grave*' campaign
apaeoh and declares that "the party
at the Instance of which Col. Graves
la on the stump could have no other
motive In sanding him out* than *the
Injury of Mr. Bryan.” *Mr. Hearat
has a grievance against Mr. Bryan*
and the Observer ran come to no other
oonolualon than that Col. G raves !•
engaged In knlAng Mr. Bryan, hla for
mer "Idol," to gratify Hearat'a grudge.
Can It be possible that such la really
and truly Col. Graves' Ignoble mis-
alonf

Republicanism and Southern Solidity.
To the Editor of Tho Telegraph;
Since tha commencement of tho
present campaign for presidential elec,
tore, there haa appeared many would-
be allurements to the democrats of the
south to champion the cause of the
Republican party. In a desperate ef
fort to capture the vote of tho hith
erto solid south, for the candidate of
that party which bv virtue of Its re
cord. of the past and Its promises for
the future, must forever look elsewhere
than to the section which haa been Its
sworn purpose to oppose. In their
desperation the officeholders of the
Republican party have bsan obtaining
advertising apace (n our southern
democratic papdra In an endeavor to
lather In southern votes, aa they feel,
as trophies of a crumbling southern
manhood. v
In an article from the pen of our
local postmaster, couched In the most
ertnlnlng language of a genuinely
>ne and table writer; the young
men of the south have pictured before
them a mirroring of themaalves, aa a
race In whom tne Area of manhood
have burned themselves out, until tho
bright gloom of thetr fathers whoag
fast have left countless print* of Mood
on the glistening Aelda of let and snow
in defenaa of a cauae they knew was
right. Aa one of that number sgaibat
whom the accusation is mads, that un-1
der the Influence of the Democratic
party we ar# driven aa moral cowards.
I wish to be heard.
, By what procols ef reasoning can
tha Republican party point with scorn
to the tarty of Thomas Jefferson wl'h
• spirit of “I am holler than thou."
To claim that th# party to which 1 vow
allegiance te an organisation fr.v from
all objectionable uaturea. woult be
to take a position that Is certainly not
tenable, but for an adherent of the
Republican party to make tbe charge
that democrats are a lot of Unoiar.t,
cowering sheep. Is certainly Impu Jme*
