Rockefeller Meant It. CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 31. Relat ives and close associates of John D. Rockefeller declared today that his announcement of his support of Taft Is the logical outcome of his state ment last fall. "It is foolish to sup pose that Mr. Rockefeller made the announcement for the purpose of In juring Mr. Taft," said W. C. Rudd, today. "Mr. Rockefeller announced early in the campaign that he favor ed Taft. His support Is that of a par ty man and a citizen, and the state ment that it is given In return for Immunity for the Standard Oil Co., is absurd." Rnirvhndy la Lying. WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. Presi dent Roosevelt today authorized the following: "The president has received num erous letters and telegrams showing that John D.

"Trick," Says Taft. ELMIRA, N. Y., Oct. 31. Before a large crowd here today, Wm. H. Taft opened the last day's tour of the state. He- appealed for the re election of Governor .Hughes, and then referred to the announcement of Rockefeller, saying It was an anti election trick and a sure sign that the Standard Oil company is against the republicans.

ITRUSTS FOR TAFT Rockefeller and CLnegie are Outspoken For linn BRYAN AND MACK. SCORING Republican Leaders Unmercifully, Say ing Standard Oil Trias Bny- - ing Immnnlty NAPOLEON, O., Oct. 30. William J. Bryan gave out a statement here today commenting upon the declara tion John D. Rockefeller, made in New York yesterday that he would vote for William H. Taft. Mr: Dry- an said he was not surprised at the declaration of Mr. Rockefeller, as the Standard Oil Company and the republican party have been so close' ly reluted that many of their Inter ests are identical. Mr. Bryan's statement follows: "The morning papers publish s statement from Mr. Rockefeller giv ing his reasonB for supporting Mr. Taft. He says: 'If for no other rea son, I support Mr. Taft because, on comparing him personally with Mr, Bryan, his chief opponent, I find the balance of fitness and temperament entirely on his side. The election of Mr. Taft will, I believe, make for law and order and stability of busi ness. He is not a man Inclined to rash experiments- by advocating measures subversive of Industrial progress.' "There are several things about this statement that deserve atten tion. The first clause sayB if for no other reason, but there already . is a reason. He Is for Mr. Taft because Taft Is for him. He is for Mr. Taft because Mr. Taft Is In sympathy with the trusts. Mr. Talt has been mak ing speeches for many weeks and he has not yet dwelt upon the Iniquities of the trusts or pointed out the injus tice done to the American people by them. No wonder Mr. Rockefeller Is for Taft "Again Mr. Rockefeller Bays Mr. Taft's election will make for law and order. This Is falte. Mr. Rocke feller's corporation Is the most no torious law-breaker In the United States and he Is for Mr. Taft because he does not want the law enforced. If he thought Mr. Taft would enforce the law against the Standard Ql! Company and favored the enactment of more stringent laws against the Standard Oil Company, as I do, he would not he for Mr. Taft. Mr. Rockefeller also Bays that Mr. Taft's election will make for stability 'of business. Wluit kind of business? Stability In the trust business Is whnt ho means. He thinks that Mr. Taft's election will enable the trusts to get a tighter strangle grasp upon tho American people and put their ex tortion upon a more permanent foun dation. He says that Mr. Taft is nut a man inclined to rash experiments. He might have omitted the word 'raHh' for Mr. Taft Is hot In favor of any kind of experiments In the way of remedial legislation. He does not propose remedies. He simply glories In the past and wants to leave condi tions as they are. "Mr. Rockefeller says that Mr. Taft would not advocate measures subversive of industrial progress. But what is Industrial progress? Is It right to allow one corporation to swallow up or bankrupt all tho other corporations and then hold the coun try at its mercy? Is it Industrial progress to destroy comiietltlon and close the door of opportunity to the young men of tho country? Is It Industrial progress to destroy Indus trial Independence and establish a despotism of monopoly? ' "The democrats hae reasons to be grateful to Mr. Rockefeller for tearing the mask off the republican campaign and revealing the duplicity that has characterized It. Instead or openly attacking the monopoly the republican organization has kept,up a pretense of reform and Mr. Rnose-' velt rushed into the arena and allow ed the charge that the trusts were opiiosed to Mr. Taft to stand. I chal lenged him to name one trust officer that was supporting me and not be ing able to find an official he named a St. louis attorney who. In one case, represented the president of a branch of the Standard Oil Company. False Pretense Ijild Rare. "Mr. Roosevelt. In his eagerness to relieve the republican candidate of the odium of trust supiiort, ac cepts this as proof that the Standard Oil Company was supiHirting me. Now Mr. Rockefeller, head of the Standard Oil Company, comes out op enly In support of Mr. Taft and gives reasons that lay bare the false pre tenses upon which the republican campaign has been conducted. If the republican party were honest It would announce that, having made arrangements with the trusts for the funds to finance the campaign and having pledged the republican party tO Protect the trtiata firm, imitluh- ment, it would release the rank and me or the republioan party from fur thor support of the reuubllcnn 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 re- i puuncan need be deceived any long . er as to the nredntorv wealth nf th.. country.- it will be noticed that this statement comes out too late to be used by the weekly newspapers cir culated anions' tlia nmunu. K.. In time to be used in the business cen ters to influence those business nieu who look to the big financiers for advice. "Before takiug up another ques tion," he said, "I want to say that we have had another favor granted us this morning. Mr. Carnegie tins come out for Mr. Taft. Mr. Carne gie holds the largest block of steel bonds of auy man In the United States. He comes out wllh Mr. Rockefeller. And it wan Mm Rinoi trust that went to the White House ana got permission from the presi dent to absorb a rival, and the Bteel trust Is todnv Riimtni'tliiir Mr T,.rt as that trust helped to secure his nomination. MACK GIVES HIS OPINION. Says Rockefeller Drove Shrewd Bar gain With Republicans. NEW YORK, Oct. 30. Charges were made today by Norman E. Mack, chnlnnan of tho democratic national committee, that the declar ation of John D. Rockefeller for Taft ror president was the result of a deal between the republican national com mittee and the Standard Oil Com pany Interests, whereby National Chairman Hitchcock received large campaign contributions mid Mr. Rockefeller the promises. Mr. Mack said that undoubtedly the $29,000, 000 line of the Standard Oil Com pany would be fixed up In the event of Mr. Taft's election as a part of the bargain. Mr. Mack said: "The Standard Oil Company has landed where everybody knew It would land. Mr. Rockefeller held hack for a bargain and got whnt he wanted. His declaration for Taft Is good for at least 100,000 votes In the doubtful states. I cannot sueculate on tho exact amount the national committee received from Mr. Rocke feller, but one can rest assured that they both received their price, Hitch cock getting the money and Rocke feller the promises, which suggests the question whether Tnft Is with Rocketeller or with Roosevelt. "We now have an oil trust and the steel trust lined up side by side working for. Mr. Taft's candidacy. Mr. Carnegie's statement yesterday on his arrival from Europe that the selection or Mr. Bryan would be a national tragedy Ib not only shock ing, but should arouse tho Indigna tion of all fair-minded citizens of the country regardless of party affil iation. Mr. Carnegie, I am reliably lufurmed, Is not even u voter in this country. Mr. Carnegie hus amassed a large rortune'as the. result, In purt as ItmBt, of republican policies, spec ial privileges and a robber turift, which Mr. Bryan and every true democrnt condemns as so odious and oppressive as to demnnd immediate reform. Hence tho election of Mr. Bryan Is denounced by Mr. Car negie as a tragedy." Chairman Mnck declared that he had learned that the republican na tional committee had a cnmpnlgn fund of $3,000,000 and that or this sum $2,000,000 was being used ror the purpose of coercion and bribery. The national chairman said further that $200,000 of the republican cam paign fund had been sent Into In diana and that more than that sum Irad been sent Into Ohio. CA.N'NFRY CO. INCORPORATES.

Democrats Claim 2HI Electoral Votes Republicans Claim .1-5. , CHICAGO, Oct. 30. While the democratic lendorB confidently expect that Bryan will carry New York, they bellevo that he can be elected even without the 39 votes of the empire state. A number or tho smaller states which until recently weru claimed as certainly republican are now regarded as likely to cast their electoral votes tor Bryan. Thesu gains, it Is asserted, are so consider able that New York may not be es sential to the N'ehraskan's success, provided he carries Ohio and In diana. It Is claimed that Bryan Ib now likely to have 222 votes, without counting cither Ohio or Now York. ir Ohio's 23 votes are added to this total the result Is 245, or 3 more than the number required to elect. Following Is the list or stntes. In cluding Indlnna and Ohio, which are credited by this estimate to Bryan: Alabama , 11 Arkansas 9 Colorado 6 Delaware - .3 Florida 6 Georgia 13 Indlnna , 15 Kentucky 13 Louisiana 9 Mississippi 10 Maryland g Missouri 18 Montana . -. 3 New Jersey 12 Nebrnskn 8 Nevada 3 North Carolina 12 Oklahoma 7 Ohio 2.1 Smith Carolina 9 Tennesseo 12 Texns 18 Virginia 12 West Virginia '7 Total .... 245 It will bo observed that this list includes New Jorsoy and West Vlr ninln, both of which seemed a few weeks ago llkoly to go to Tnft. Bryan hus made heavy gains In both thcBe states and tho claim thnt he will car ry them may prove justified. More over the list does not Include Idaho, II votes; Wyoming, 3; South Dakota. 4, nnd Knnsas, 10, any of which niny bo found in the democratic column in the event of a Bryan landslide. Or course, ir Bryan carries New York bis victory Is assured by an overwhelming mnjorlty. The argu ment or tliose who ndvanco the fore going estimnto is thnt even without New York ho can win. Chiilrinnii llltchock's f'liilin. NEW YORK, Oct. 30. In his fore cast of tho composition of the elector al college which will choose the next president and vIce-proBidcnt of the United States, made public at re publican headquarters tonight, Na tional Chairman Hitchcock claims 325 republicans, or 82 more than will be required to elect. For the republican ticket, Mr. Hitchcock is sure tlf New York, Ohio and lndlann. He also Includes In the republican column, Nebraska, Mon tana, Maryland nnd Nevada. In ex- plntlllng his list Mr. Hitchcock suld thnt he believed tho chances were even In Kentucky and Missouri, witli their 13. and 18 voles respectively. If by chance any of the slates claimed should go democrnllc, he said, they would be Maryland, Moll lana and Nevada, with a tola) of 14 votes. This would leave a republican margin of 6!), and of this advantage he expressed himself as perfectly con lid en t.
