Oilier siam s!mw Kffevt of I'mh Campaigning. WASHINGTON. April J J. (Special.) WlllUm t McKlnley. director of the National Taft Burrau. raid today: "The lavish expenditure of money in this nmpalrn by the barkers of for mer President Roosevelt has led to the question hlng raised: Were the vic tories of Kooaevelt In Pennsylvania and Oklahoma due to a '(treat popular demand' for Ilia renomlnatlon or to the use of moaey? "Sufficient Illustrations will be cited in this statement to show exactly how much money was used In specific In stances and how it was used to war rant the assertion taat In no pre-con-ventlon campaign In the history of the ruunlry has money been used In such larce sums, amounting. In view of the general vt-rdirt of the country with respect to certain expenditures by Sen ators of the I'nlted states, to plain bribery and corruption, as has been expanded by the backers of Theodore J:oosevelf. OklabeaaaM Vml4 by (berks. "Information came to the Taft Na tional Bureau Rome weeks ago that checks had passed In Oklahoma to I:oosevelt men. and the charge was made that these checks were In amounts of ITS each and were paid for votes in conventions. It was In this state that Theodore Koosevelt said there was a .'lrenulne primary." The Vrew' which carried Oklahoma for Koosevelt has been working; In Kan sas and Nebraska since and has now shown up in Arkansas. What the wreck iris crew Is doing In Arkansas Is shown by this extract from a tele gram received today from a reputable ritixen of that state: 'Roosevelt managers are using money under the guise of paying wages to workers, another name for bribery." "The way state law Is sttempted to l-e evaded by the managers of Mr. ltoosevelt was illustrated In the pri maries In Allegheny County, including Pittsburg, where 'Roosevelt scrip' or 'due bills' were Issued In an amount. estimated by conservative men to have been $100,000. "Instead of having their managers stand at the polls and pay IS each to voters as they voted the Roosevelt ticket in Pittsburg, a certificate was Issued Indicating an appointment as a Roosevelt worker In the primaries, and when countersigned by the chair man of the district committee it was good for IS at headquarters. These certificates were liberally distributed in Pittsburg and In other sections of the state, and It is said no less than lo.ooo were given out. In that case llno.ono was the cost of this sort of work. vWraarasera" arc Well Paid. "After the certificates had been printed the word 'Messenger' was dis played across the fare, no such person as a "worker being recognised In the corrupt practices law. It has also come to the attention of the Taft man agers that large sums were paid for editorial Indorsement of former Presi dent Roosevelt, and a still further larger sum was paid for organising the state. Roosevelt managers admit they spent 150. ono sending out one postal card to S.SOO.00O voters. That the to tal expenditure of the Roosevelt forces in Pennsylvania alone amount to a sum between 1250.000 and 1500.000 Is the conservative estimate of some of Mr. Roosevelt's own managers in Penn s.i lvunia. "In New Tork County alone on pri mary day a sum approximating 1200. O'jO was expended by the Roosevelt men in a vain endeavor to carry the cltv for former President Roosevelt. "In one district In Chicago 17000 was subscribed by two men alone and used on primary day. As indicating the use to which this money was put, one lit tle precinct captain alone was offered 1200 to support Roosevelt snd declined to do so for any price. In this con nection yne district captain In New York did sell out to the Roosevelt managers, plainly showing that Mr. Kooaevelt was not the candidate ' In answer to a great popular demand." but the beneficiary of a bag of good hard dollars. " Paralrd Prtaearra Delegates. In Missouri the Roosevelt forces, as In Oklahoma, have run special trains of negroes, most frequently, and some times whites to all Congressional dis trict conventions. In the Fourteenth !isirlrt In Missouri It Is a matter of court record that the Judge, a Roose velt man. paroled three prisoners out of Jail and made them T. K. delegates in county convention. In Kentucky. In trie Klrst Uietrlct. where they raised a charge of 'fraud' and specifically charged that a Federal official had lone certain acts, whereas as a mat ter of fart the man named was neither a Federal official nor had he performed the acts charged, the Roosevelt man aKers ran special trains and a steam boat full of negroes to the primaries to Intimidate the voters. "The next question Is. therefore, mhere Is all this money coming from? -It must not be forgotten that among the understrappers In the Roosevelt mp are several millionaires who constitute the 'Roosevelt guerillas' and who roam about from state to state most of It new territory to them and tell the voters what to do. Among this number are Glfford Plnrhot. the owner of Inherited millions, the former head f the forest service: John F. Bass, orother of the Governor of New Hamp shire, who explained the defeat of ooeevelt In North Dakota on she .-round that Temocrats had voted for l. Follette.' when, as a matter of fact. Mr. Roosevelt got the votea In the lieniocratlc end of theState himself; Kverett Colby, of New Jersey: George W Perkins, of the United "states Steel Corporation and the International Har- ester Company, who is generally credited with raising mora money for Mr Roosevelt than any other three men: Frank A. Munsey. of New York, an owner of steel common stock: Gov ernor Chase R. Osborne and Trumen H. Newberry. of Michigan: Chauneey Lewey and Alexander RevelU of Chi cago: Thomas Nledrtnghaus. of PC Louis, and Walter Pickey. of Kansas i-.tv Mo, and a host of others. Every man In this list Is a millionaire, some f them several times over, and all are M.endlng their money like water for Me Roosevelt." i t ii 1 1 ill i i i iii ii if Tj i .-"-"a. xjLMz-c?2z-r i r c,v.. t i tiai n : .

Votes With I)fmo CTats Against Motion Right of Federal Itevicw Will He In-isled Ipon. WASHINGTON. April fcl. The Sen ate decided. 43 to 36. today to insist on its Federal control amendment to the House resolution looking to the elec tion of ITnlted States Senators by di rect vote of the people. The efTect will be to send the measure to conference again. Senator Borah of Idaho was the only Republican Senator voting with the Democrats against the motion. The conference report announcing the failure to agree declared that the House proposed to take away from Congress all supervisory power over Senatorial elections. "To deprive Congress of the right to say whether a member of either body bad been corruptly elected." Senator Clark, of Wyoming, rhalrman of the Judiciary committee, said. "Is striking at the very root of our legislative depart, ment. It is my opinion that the House amendment would preclude Congress from making any Investigation Into the selection of a Senator. It would leave it entirely in the hands of the states." Senator Clark Is one of the Senate conferees. The report of the failure of agreement, after 1 conferences be tween the Representatives of the two Houses, waa in accord with a notice Senator Clark recently gave that he would report disagreement.

Mr. Bryan said he was going to Florida on business, but would make two political speeches. He said that. as Woodrow Wilson happened to be the only "progressive"' candidate for Presi dent on the ticket In that state, he would speak for him. but he would have spoken for any other 'progres sive" Democratic candidate, had there been any other on the ticket. Mr. Bryan said he would be the happiest msn In the world If the two houses of Congress would get together on the popular election of Senators, which, he said, was the greatest ques tion before the American people today.

(iulld's laflueace Potential. Governor Guild lent his great Influ ence to many of the movements whith President Taft has been able to carry to completion. Guild was a pioneer In the campaign for the prohibition of child labor, for example; and within a week President Taft has been able to appoint Miss Julia G. Lathrop chief of the bureau of child labor (the first wo man In the United States to be appoint ed a bureau chief) under a law which lie always had advocated and had the pleasure of signing only a few days before. Guild. like Tsft. was a leading advo cate of sane tariff revision. He was the author of the tariff . epigram: "The question Is not whether a duty Is de manded but whether It is needed." He waa elected Governor on a tariff re vision platform, and shortly after voiced the sentiment of Massachusetts In a telegraphic demand on President Roosevelt snd the Massachusetts dele gation In Congress for a reduction of the tariff and the establishment of a permanent tariff board.

There Is nothing new about the Idea of using Sage for restoring the color of th hair. Our grandmothea-s kept their hair dark, glossy and abundant by the use of a simple "Sage Tea. ' Whenever their hair fell out or took on a, dull, faded or streaked appearance, they made a brew of Sago leaves, and ap plied It to their hair with wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays we don't have to resort to the old-time tiresome method of gath ering th herbs and making the tea. This Is done by skillful chemists better than we could do It ourselves: and all we have to do Is to call for the ready made product, Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the proper strength, with the addition of Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy., 1 This preparation gives youthful color and beauty "to the hair, and is one of the best remedies you can use for dan druff, dry, feverish, Itching scalp, and falling hair.
