Against the Oil Trust Might be Ad

Trust is Another Factor, Says Mr.

NEW YORK, Oct. SO.—“I expect to
vote for William H. Taft.” saya John
D. Rockefeller in a statement j»Ven
out from the Standard Oil Company's
offices here lest night.
“If for no other reason. I support
Mr. Taft because on comparing him
personally with Mr. Bryan, (his chief
opponent. I find the balance of fitness
nnd temperament entirely on his aide.
The election of Mr. Taft will, I believe,
make for law and order and stability
of business. He is not a man, I judge,
to adventure with raab experiments to
Impede a return to prosperity by ad
vocating measures subversive of Indus
trial progress.
“The question of candidates seems
to me peculiarly a personal one in this
campaign, as the lending orators
both sides have not succeeded
drawing party lines, as based on plat,
forms, with any great clearness. I do.
however, support the general Repub
Ilean position on the tariff and the
currency. I have always been a Re
publican.
“I feel the more Impelled to answer
this question, because It cannot be
said that the present admtnlstralfo
has in any way whatever favored the
special interest to which my life has
been devoted. That, however, does not
excuse me from publishing my opin

duty as a citizen.”
/Trick Saya the White House State

WASHINGTON. Oct- 30.—The fol
lowing- official statement was issued
from the white house tonight: ”At the
white house the announcement of Mr.
Rockefeller, through the press agent
of the Standard Oil company, wa* re
garded with some amusement, in view
of what the administration hap done to
the Standard Oil company and of the
bitter hatred borne by the Standard
OH company to the administration. It
Is a perfectly palpable and obvious
trick on the part of the Standard OH
C>eople to try to damage Taft—a trick
so papnble that It can deceive
one."
Mack Charges Deal.
NEW YORK. Oct. 30.—Charges
iwere made today by Norman E. Mack,
chairman of the democratic national
committee, that the declaration of John
I). Rockefeller for Taft for president
was the result of the deal between the
republican national committee and the
Standard Oil Interests, whereby Na
tional Chairman Hitchcock received
large contributions and Mr. Rocke
feller received certain promises.
Mr. Mack said that undoubtedly the
$29,000,000 fine of the Standard Oil
Company would be fixed up in the
event of Mr. Taft’s election as a part
of the bargain. Mr. Mnck aald:
“The .Standard Oil Company has
landed where everybody knew It would
land. Mr. Rockefeller held back for
n bargain and got what he wnnt>1.
His declaration for Taft Is good for
nt least 100.000 votes In the doubtful
Btstes. I pan not speculate on the
exact amount the republican national
committee received from Mr. Rocke
feller, but one can rest assured that
they both received their price.

steel trust lined un side bv side work

Carneglo's statement yesterday on hla
arrival from Europe that the -lection
of Mr. Bryan would be a national
tragedy Is not only shocking, but
should arouse the Indignation of all
fair-minded citizens of the country
regardless of party affiliation. Mr.
Crtnegle, I am reliably Informed Is
not even a voter In this country. Mr.
Carnegie has amassed a large fortune
as the result In part at least of re
publican policies, special privileges
and a robber tariff, which Mr. Bryan
' and every democrat condemns as so
odious and oppressive as to demand
Immediate reform. Hence the elec
tion of Mr. Bryan I* denounced by
Mr. Carnegie as a tragedy”
Chairman Mack declared that he
had learned that the republican na
tional committee had a campaign fund
of 13,000,000 'and that of this sum
$3,000,000 was being used for purposes
of coercion and bribery. The national
chairman said further that $200,000 of

Bryan's Statement
NAPOLEON, Ohio. Oct. 30.—Wil
liam J. Bryan, the democratic candi
date for president, gave out a state-?
ment here today commenting upon de
claration* of John D. Rockefeller made
In New Yorlr yesterday that he would
vote far William H. Taft. Mr. Bryan
said he was not surprised at the de
claration of Mr. Rockefeller, as the
Standard Oil Company and the Re
publican rarty .hare been closely re
lated and m*ny of their interests are
Identical.
Mr. Bryan's statement follows:
•The morning paper* publish a
statement from Rockefeller giving his
reasons for supporting Mr. Taft. He
gays: 'If for »o othyr reason I *up-
poit Mr. Taft because on comparing
him personally with Mr. Bryan, his
chief opponent. I find the bslsnee of
fitness and temperament entirety on
b* side. The election of Mr. Taft
will. I believe, make for law and-or
der and stability of ‘ ”* L ~
not a man inclined to rash experiments
or to impede a return of prosperity
bv advocating measures afe subversive
of Industrial progress.'
“There are several things about this
statement that deserve attention. The
last clause says 'if for no other rea
son,’ but there Is already a reason.
’Cause Taft’a for Hlnv
”He la for Mr. Taft because Mr. Taft
la for him. He la for Mr. Taft becauae
Mr. Taft.‘is.In sympathy with the truate.
Mr. Taft has been making apeeche* for
many week* and he haa not yet dwelt
upon the iniquities of the trusts or
pointed out the injustice done to the
American people by them. No wonder
Mr. Rockefeller is for Mr. Tnft
“Again, Mr. Rockefeller aaya Mr. Taft’L
election will make for law and order.
This la faJae. Mr. Rockefeller'* corpora
tion la the moat notorloua law-breaker In
the United States and he t* for Mr. Taft
because he doea not want the law enforc
ed. If he thought that Mr. Taft would
enforce the law against the Standard Oil
Company and favored more stringent
laws against the Standard Oil Company,
as I do. he would not be for Mr. Taft
Mr. Rftckefejr \lio says that Mr. Taft’a
election wili\ , xe for stability of buai-
neaa. What k»nd of bualneea? Stability
in the trust business is what he means.
“He thinks that Mr. Taft’a election w._
enable the truate to get a tighter strata
Rio grasp upon tha American people and
put their extortion upon a more .perma
nent foundation. He aaya that Mr. Taft
Is not a man inclined to rash experi
ments. He might have omitted the word
‘raah.’ for Mr. Taft Is not in favor Of
any kind of experiment in the way of
remedial legislation. He doea not pro-
poae remedies. He simply glories in the
past and wants to leave conditions as
they are.
What Kind of Progress?
“Mr. Rockefeller aaya that Mr. Taft
would not advocate measures subversive
of Industrial progress. But what is in
dustrial progress? Is It industrial prog
reaa to allow one corporation to swallow
up or bankrupt all of the other corpora
tions and then hold the country at Its
mercy? la It industrial progress to de
stroy competition nnd close the door of
opportunity to the- young man of the
country? Is It Industrial progress to de
stroy industrial independence and estab*
despotism of monopoly?
-me democrats have reasn
gt ateful to Mr. Rockefeller for tearing
characterised It Instead of openly at
tacking the tide of monopoly the repub
lican organization has kept up a pre
tense of reform and Mr. Roosevelt rush
ed into the arena and allowed the charge
that the trusts were opposed to Mr. Taft
to stand. I challenged him to name one
trust officer that was supporting me. and
not being able to find an official, he
named a St Louis attorney, who in oi
sense represented the president or
branch of the Standard Oil Company.
Question of Honesty.
“Mr. Roosevelt in his eagerness to r
lievo the republican candidate of the
odium of trusts’ support accepted tbls as
proof <tnat the Standard * Oil Company
was supporting me. Now Mr. Rocke
feller, head or the Standard Oil Com-
w
false prH
out openly In support of Mr.
« K..SS reason that lay. bare the
etences upon which the republi-
npalgn has been conducted. If
the Republican party were honest It
would announce that, having made ar
rangements with the trusts for the funds
to finance the campaign and having
pledged the Republican party to protect
the trusts from punishment, it would re
lease the rank and file of the Republican
party from further support of the repub
lican ticket
“The Republican party cannot serve
two masters. Its real master has now
stepped forth and asserted his claim to
the party’s services. No republican need
be deceived any longer as to the Indis
soluble bond that binds the republican
organization to the predatory Interests
of the country. It will be noticed that
this statement comes out too late to be
used by the weekly newspapers or circu
lated among the masses, but In time to
be used in the business centers to influ
ence those business men who look to the
big financiers for advice.”
Hitchcock Denies Charges.
NEW YORK. Oct. 30.—After read
ing tonight the statement of Norman
E. Mack, In which the democratic
national chairman charged that the
republican organization had received a
contribution from the Standard Oil
Company, Chairman Hitchcock, of tho
republican national committee, dic
tated the following:
“The statement that the republican
national committee has received finan
cial assistance from tht Standard Oil
Company Is absolutely false. Tho
committee has not received, directly
or indirectly, from that organization
or any of its officers a single dollar.”

His Day’s Labors With Cleveland
, Speeches, Where He Wee Heard By
Wildly Cheering Throngs.
• CLEVELAND. Ohio. Oct. 30.—Heap,
ing denunciation upon the heads of
John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie,
President Roosevelt and Mr. Taft, his
republican » opponent, because, as he
charged, of their connection or sym
pathies with the trusts, W. J. Bryan
in this city tonight brought to a close
another strenuous day of campaigning.
Th« principal meeting was held in the
big Central armory.
Launching at once Into the issues
of the campaign, the democratic can
didate discussed the democratic plat
form. laying stress on the planks re
lating to the guaranteeing of deposits,
publicity of campaign contributions and
the trusts. The two latter topics fur
nished him the themes for hls attacks
on the flr~*6iers, the president and
Mr. Taft. The Standard Oil Company
and the steel trust, through Messrs.
Rockefeller and Carnegie, were credit
ed with furnishing the funds for the
republican campaign. He emphasized
the labor planks of the Denver plat
form and made an appeal for the la
boring men to stand together and sup
port the national democratic ticket if
they expected tho remedial legislation
they desired.
Mr. Bryan hod something to say
about Secretary Root, who Is credited
with having stated that Mr. Bryan’s
election would be a menace to tho
country.
“I see Mr. Root has made an argu
ment against the election of senators
by the people,” he remarked. “I am
not surprised. No man In public lire
has more reason to fear an election
at which the people vote. -
•'He .-also ■ thinks my election would
he a menace to the country. That Is
not surprising. He began hls iegnl
career with a defense of Boss Tweed
and has been so intimately associated
with the big law-breakers ever since
that he would naturally rssent the
democratic Idea of* enforcing the law
Impartially against offenders.”
Cleveland's Demonstration.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, Oct. 80.—After
traveling up and down and across the
state of Ohio today. W. J. Bryan ar
rived here at 8:30 o’clock tonight, and
was tho recipient of a monster demon
stration. A dozen or more marching
clubs bearing torches and headed by
bande parade, through tho principal
streets and escorted tho candidate to
the Central armory, where ho spoke
to a vast concourse, who wldly cheer
ed him. » .
Later he went over to the Grays’
armory and spoke again to another
great crowd i Beginning at Napojeon
early today, another tour of tho
Buckeye State. Mr. Bryan hurled
avalanche of condemnation upon tho
heads of John D. Rockefeller and An
drew Carnegie wherever hls train
stopped. The democratic candldato
had observed authorized statements by
the two financiers that they were sup
porting Mr. Taft. Of Mr.. Rockefeller
he said that the oil magnate waa sup
porting Mr. Taft because Mr. Taft
was supporting him, and concerning
Mr. Carnegie he accused him of ab
sorbing a competitor of the ateel trust
after getting the approval of Presi
dent Roosevelt and said that the attel
trust today “Is supporting Mr. Taft
as It helped to secure hls nomlvi
t,0T1 ’ Want* No HanqW Aroun*.
He mentioned the fact that mow
than fifty thousand democrats had
contributed voluntary to the demo
cratic campalrn fund and said: ,
"I would rather he elected president
by the aid of fifty thousand demo
crats, each giving* a little, than to be
sleeted president by CORtrlhutl’ms of
a few great trust magnet**, ini then
have them come to the back d»w of
the white house and tail me what I
must do In order to oav them back.’
Today’s Journey through th* stai**
was but a rep*‘!t!on jf the visit ft
week ago. Great demonstrative
crowds turned out everywhere to gr»et
the candidate.
Mr. Bryan made ten speeches In
