tour of northern Indiana today, W.
3. Bryan created great enthusiasm
among an immense crowd at this
city when he flayed Carnegie, Taft,
Rockefeller, Roosevelt and Root. He
Bald, In part:
"Carnegie is supporting Taft; he
says my election would he a tragedy,
and Mr. Carnegie is familiar with
"" tragedies. Root says Taft is tem
peramentally better qualified to en
force than I. This is true from Root's
standpoint, as he began his legal car

Lands the election of the man he

In conclusion, Mr. Bryan said that
the democratic party is attempting to

tics by compelling the publication of
campaign contributions and to bring
the government nearer the people by

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. Rockefeller's trick Is
doubtless the result of an agreement
made with the democrats, but that It
will fail of Its purpose Is1 self-evident
from the statement of Mr. Taft, who
says that If Mr. Rockefeller really
wanted him elected president be
would keep quiet."
"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.
Great Parade' In New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31. Nearly
100,000 men, representing every
branch of business, began marching
today In a great parade as a final I

this afternoon 250,000 men had
passed in review before Sherman and

"Bryan's election means hard times;

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.

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:

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,

NEW YORK, Oct. 30. In his fore

president and vIce-proBidcnt of the
United States, made public at re

325 republicans, or 82 more than will

For the republican ticket, Mr.
Hitchcock is sure tlf New York, Ohio

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

1MIM1RTANT DEAL.
Fulfil III Roaelnirg's Future Shown In

A deal which has caused consider
able comment on the street today was
tho granting of a long term lease by
Mr. II. Wollenhcrg to the Douglas
County Abstract Company. The pe
culiar real ii re or it Is that the Ab
stract company took the lnlatlve in
the mnlter and mnde Mr. Wollrnborg
a proposition to Increase their rent
2 0 per cent nnd he In turn to give
litem n 10-year lease.
Probably no one Is better ablo to
make a forecast of the future of
Itoseburg than the Abstract company,
being, ns thoy are, the first to know
of any probable transfer and their
assistance often being required In
snlcs of ronl estate In Douglas county.
Mr. E. W. Kuykendnll, a member
or the company. In speaking to a
representative of The Review, said to
day that the members of his firm con
sidered this to be an exceedingly ad-,
vantngeous contract, as there Is no
question but that next year will see
values In Itoseburg doubled. He
snyB business, Instead of fulling off
at tho advent of the rainy season, is
Increasing, nnd witiiout question
DouglaB county is to be prominently
recognized next year.
There Is no stronger advertise

County Abstract Co. has Bhown the
spirit which will make our city
known as the "Ureater Itoseburg."
