MR. ROCKE- rfisMucr' ! Rockefeller gave out the statement from th« Standard Oil of- New York Thursday night that he expected to vote- for W. H. Taft and also gave a statement of reasons for this course. National Democratic Chairman Nor an E. Mack says that Rockefeller's declaration for Teft is the result of e deal between the Republican National Committee and the Standard Oil In teresta. official statement from tbi White House represents the President 'amused" at the Rockefeller de claratlon "in view of what the admin fstration has done to the Standard Oil Company," and as denouncing it at "a trick on the part of tha Stand ard Oil pdople to damage Taft." Ml Taft Is also reported aa saying that the declaration la not calculated to do him any good In the election and la therefore not a friendly act. No doubt President Roosevelt was surprised but scarcely "amused" at Mr. Rockefeller's announcement, and no doubt Mr. Taft would greatly have preferred a silent vote from that quar ter, but the common eense of every one will rsedtly suggest that Mr. Rockefeller's statement la a frank one, or aa frank at least aa any that can be expected from that Quarter. Mr. Rockefeller Is, first of all. a bus Iness man, * with well-nigh unerring Judgment concerning the direction In which hie material interests lie. a business man he ceres very little about whet Theodore Roosevelt In the White House says or thinks. It cer tainly la not going to make Rocks frllpr lose hla head and blunder In hla tactics. Ha does not ask Theodore Roosevelt's permission to support the Republican ticket He Is more likely to be -amused" at the Idea than Roosevelt could possibly have been at Rockefeller's announcement. Rocke feller was part owner and a dlreotor of tha fortunes of the Republican par. ty before, Roosevelt was ever heard of politically. In the vary xantth of the boasted "trust bust#***" power Rocks feller outplayed him. foiled and made a fool of him by the Influence he wielded in the Republican councils In the railroad rate legislation, which was largely precipitated by the rebate evil as practiced by Standard Oil, when the President's boasted measure w*a passed, It was found that 8tand ard Oil had been conspicuously ex cepted of all people by the elimination of the elauie which bore specifically on It.
