Mr. Voter, on which side are you ? For the people or
for the trusts?
states enough to determine the result.
Since the nominations closed, the popular trend has
been towards Bryan. lie has steadily grown stronger
throughout the campaign and there are so many various
causes contributing to his success that victory seems easily
within his grasp.
The Commoner has made a magnificent campaign
an aggressive battle for a restoration of the rule of the
people a fight for tariff revision, for trust extermination,
for guaranteeing bank deposits and for the curbing of
government by injunction. Opposed to him is every trust
in America, every beneficiary of special legislation and
the Roosevelt bureaucracy of officeholders.
Mr. Taft has been aggressive only in assailing Bryan,
his personality and his platform. lie has allowed Roose
velt to map his policy and meekly follow his lead. In no
speech has he attacked a single trust, monopoly or corpo
rate abuse. He has even ignored government control and
regulation of trusts and railroads, and every railroad and
every trust is supporting him and has contributed to his
corruption fund.
WRESTLING GO Ut
FOR MEDFORD ftffiM
Governor Chamberlain has been criticized because he
has not taken the stump for Mr. Bryan. He could not do
this and lie consistent with the teachings of the great party
to which he belongs, the principles taught by Lincoln and
the truths preached by Mr. Bryan. Had Governor Cham
berlain taken the stump for Mr. Bryan he would have pros
tituted the office of governor, descending to the level of
ward politics, to which Mr. Roosevelt and his cabinet have
sunk the great offices with which they have been honored.

John I). Rockefeller has caused dismay in republican
ranks by declaring for Taft as the fittest man for presi
dent, from a Standard Oil viewpoint. Mr. Rockefeller can
not see that the public regards his support as tainted, any
more than he can understand whv his monev gifts are also
considered tainted. Hence he announces his support of
Taft.
Mr. Roosevelt, who understands the people far better
than the oil king, is making frantic efforts, seconded by
the republican press, to convey the impression that Mr.
Rockefeller is really for Bryan and announced his support
of Taft in order to help the Nebraskan, which is ridiculous
and absurd. Bryan represents all that; L'( Broadway does
not want.
Not only Rockefeller, but Carnegie, Morgan, Harrinuni
and all the rest of Wall st reet arc shout ing for Taft. Every
trust and every beneficiary of special legislation, everyone
who expects to purchase future favors by campaign con"
tributious, every railroad that dreads regulation in the
public's interest, every monopoly hiding behind the tariff,
every insurance and trust company that shuns the light, is
for Taft, and why shouldn't they be i 1 Io represents thcnil
as does Ins reactionary platform.
History repeats itself. Lawson in " Frenzied Finance
tells how the Standard Oil put up $.", M 10,000 corruption
"iKl and hy it elected McKinley in KSiHi. Roosevelt's let
ters and Harriinan's testimony told of Standard Oil's con
tributing 100,000 to elect Roosevelt in 1!MM and of Harri
man's raising at Roosevelt's solicitation if'iO.OOO for the
republican campaign of IDOii. Is there anything strange

Oil to be used for Taft this election, coincident with Rock

n good bogey for Roosevelt to attack, hut has it been hurt a
Int. by Ins warfare? Has it paid a fine, or its officcrsscrv
ed a day in jail, and isn't its stock worth more todav than
ever? Hasu t it; reached out under his administration un
Ul today it controls the railroads, steel works and niiueTo
America as well as the oil fields ?
Doesn t the present tariff, which Taft supports, enable
oc on irust to charge m the Hniteu States at least two
"ems a gallon more lor kerosene ban it could otherwise

1870 the kniptro stale has been an unfailing barometer
ami the conditions Unit change New York change other
1 nave had considerable to do. Ten
years ago, I made diligent inquiry con-
erning tlie success which had attended
its use in various places ,tlio results
of such inquiry being favorable to the
pipe. I myself thereupon made use of
it in several instances nnd havo had
opportunity also to observo lines built
by others. The experience with these
lines has not been satisfactory, the
staves having so far decayed after ten
years of use as to make necessarv very
xtensivc reconstuctiou. The lines cov
ered a wide range of soil conditions and
were most carefully designed nnd built
of th best materials, including both fir
and redwood. Steel riveted pipe was
also used on two of these works, giving
very much better results in both cases,
than the wood pipe.
Kensonable durability is the prime
prerequisite in making a choice. Un
less, therefore, the difference between
the first cost of the stave and the steel
pipe in fuvor of the former, is sufficient
with compound interest added annually
to reduplicate the stave pipe at the
expiration of ten years, it is likelv to
prove morn expeiiftivo in the long run
tanu the steel; and even if the differ
enee in the cost is sufficient to nccom
plish this, the trouble attendant upon
reconstruction by a mumcipniitv at
such short intervals should condemn its
use for permanently conducting n wate
supply. "
Wooden water mains were oriffimi.lv
installed at Lind, Wn. and wo have a
letter signed by the l.iud Water Co.,
dated dune 2ti, l!Ui nnd reading ns
tullows:
"In reply to your letter of June 2.Y
1!0B will say that we piped the town of
I.ind. the year 1001 with wood pipo and
ure replacing all of the wood pipe
with iron pipe this v ar, as the wood
pipe has been leaking very badly for tin
last year. We think the wood pipe is
a very poor investment for any town to
use. That has been our experience.
In response to a communication which
wo addressed to the Harrison Water
Works Co., of Harrison, Idaho; we have
:i letter from them dated .June 100(1
and signed by their Mipcriutendf-nt
I. K, Wood, reading as follows:
'Monr esteemed favor of the 2"th nt
hand and contents noted. In reply will
ay that we have wire wound wood
pipe in our system since we first in
stalled it. five years ago, and outsidt
the first eight months, it has been a
source of continuous annoyance nnd has
not given any deyre of satisfaction. We
would not advise our worst enemy to use
it if they wanted n serviceable svstem.
It would not hold all the water int
