There is nothing surprising In the statement that the Standard Oil com pany is favoring the election of Mr. Bryan and is contributing its influence and money to bring this about. The facts are, the republican administra tion indicted the Standard Oil com- . pany and secured a conviction and a fine of 129,000,000, by appealing to a higher court the case was thrown out, but the Standard .Oil company well know that the fact they did not have to. pay this fine was through no fault of the present adminlKtration, and the end is not yet. The Standard Oil com pany is well aware that Mr. Bryan, were he elected, -could not. prosecute it any harder than Mr. Roosevelt ha, or Mr. Taft will, and it further knows that a republican senate will not as? elst Mr. Bryan to any great extent, and herein lies the greatest factor as to why the Standard OH Is supporting Mr. Bryan. This great corporation knows no politics from a standpoint of principle it I a well known fact that In republican states It has been liberal with Its money and the same -Is true In the democratic states. It in JuMt a selfish qut-stlon with It and for this reason It Is not strange if this and other corporate Intercuts that have been brought to time by the present administration would be active In se curing change, especially when there was a chance to pit an administration again! an opposition senate. Th-ie soul-less corporations play .politics for what there I In it, snd thin campaign Is no exception. , Improvements ara the order of the d.y n La Grande this fall On where you may. in any portion of the city, and there Is scarcely a block which does not show activity.
