REVISE DOWNWARD
IS TflFT'S POLICY
Tariff on Pottery Chief Mark
at Which He Would
Wield Ax.
TALKS TO FOUR STATES
Hope Crowd From Iowa, Nebraska,
Sonth Dakota and Minnesota
Hear Candidate at Sioux City.
Backed bj All Factions.
SIOUX CITY. In.. Sept. 29. Tariff re
vision, mostly downward, but in some
Instances upward, notably on pottery,
wa the keynote of W. H. Taft'a ten
speeches today. In none of them- did
he forget to "go after" his Nebraska
opponent.
The Ohloan's campaign through
South Dakota terminated today here,
where he addressed a tremendous audi
enee from the four states of Iowa. Ne
braska. South Dakota and Minnesota.
The meeting was held in the immense
train shed of the Union passenger sta
tlon and was rivaled in the day's trip
from Aberdeen only by two meetings
held at Mitchell.
All Factions Support Him.
Senator Klttredge met the Taft train at
Mitchell and made public assurance of his
continued support of the ticket. Senator
Gamble, his factional opponent, and Con
gressmen Burke and Martin joined the
train at Aberdeen, as did other state poll
tlclans, leaving no Republican faction in
South Dakota unrepresented in the dem
onstratlon of approval of the National
ticket. This incident and the assurances
to the candidate from those in touch with
the South Dakota situation, Mr. Taft said
today, were satisfactory evidences of the
value of his trip.
Beside Mitchell and Sioux City, the
largest crowds of the day were at
Aberdeen and Yankton, the latter the
home of Mr. Gamble. ' Other stops of
the special where cheering audiences
were waiting were at Mellette, wolsey,
Redfteld. Tripp, Parkston, Lestervllle,
Scotland and Vermillion.
Voice Has Improved.
Mr. Taffs voice permitted him to be
heard fairly well. His speaking assist
ant during the day was Representative
J. Adam Bede. of Minnesota.
Mr. Taft slept in his private car on
a quiet siding at South Sioux City.
With nine or ten speeches in Nebraska,
he will reach Lincoln, the home of Mr.
Bryan, at S o'clock tomorrow after
noon, where he spends the night.
BRYAN RETURNS TO DEBATE
(Continued Prom First Fvx-
1904 the Republicans used In one state
alone a fund almost as large as th
entire sum the Democratic party had
In Its control. The letter concludes
with nntic to the President that an
opportunity will be afforded Ms "Ho
misrepresent the motives of those who
Klve to our campaign fund and to
arouse all the suspicion you can.'
Still De Tends Haskell.
The letter is as follows:
rtck Island. IH.. 8pt- 2fl. 1009. Hon
Arable Theodora Rooaevett, President of the
1'ntted States. Washington. I. C. Dear
Fir: A brief reply to the last letter Is all
that Is necessary to call attention to your
attempt tn shift the Issue raised. In your
letter attacking Mr. ForaKer you insenea
an attack upon Governor Haskell and at'
tempted to use the. charges against him
to connect the Democratic party, and me
as Its candidate, with the trusts. I asked
you to name a tribunal before which the
charges could be Investigated, or as you
would not do that, offered to leave you
to say whether In your Judgment the
charges Justified Mr. Haskell's withdrawal
from the organisation. You did not delpn
to suggest a tribunal, but proceeded to pass
Judgment upon him. He has resigned bis
position that he might be more free to
prnsrute thesj who brought accusations
against him. Thus his connection with the
organisation ended. 1 had no authority
to submit, and did not submit, to you the
question of his guilt r Innocence for final
decision. Even the President cannot deny
to the humblest cttlsen of the land tha
right to protect his reputation and vindi
cate his name in courts established for the
purpose, where wltn-sses oan be examined
and evidence submitted according to the
rules of lav.
Ne Connection With Trusts.
Tn my first letter" to you I resented the
Imputation that any charges made against
Governor Haskell could be Justly construed
as connect Ins: the Democratic party, and
me as Its candidate, with any trust or law
defying corporation. You replied that the
chsj-ges were a matter of general noto
riety and I asked you why Mr. Taft did
not mention them when he made speeches
against Mr. Haskell Jn Oklahoma. You at
once endeavored to connect me with new
matters which arose after the Denver con
vention, and conscious that those charges
were insufficient, you have since given
wings to accusations that no disinterested
party would make against another with
out Investigation. I am willing all your
charges against me - shall be submitted
to the voters of the country and with your
charges I submit my dontal of any knowl
edge that could In the remotest way con
nect me with any trust, monopoly or "law- '
defying" corporation." My record Is suf
ficient answer to your Insinuation. I have
lived tn vain If your accusations lose me
a single friend.
Hill Vtxoroaalr Knforce Law.
I challenged you to name a trust official
who Is supporting me and. after search
ing the country, you produce the name of
one man, not a trust official but the loraJ
attorney of a trust. Without Inquiring
whether he votes for mo because of his
connection with a trust or in spite of it
or because of his "fear of business ad
versity under Mr. Taft, you accept hie
statement that he will vote for me as
conclusive proof that I am In league with
the trusts, although you admit trust of
ficials are supporting the Republican
ticket. You compliment me when you
measure me by a higher standard than you
do your political associates, for you insist
that Mr. Rockefeller's contribution to Gov
ernor Hughes' campaign fund was no re
fection upon him, and I take it for granted
that you do not criticise Judge Taft's rec
ommendation of a Standard Oil attorney to
the Federal bench, a place where the Judge
might have to pass upon charges against
the very trust for which he had been at
torney. While the trust attorney to whrm
you refer is not an official of any trust.
I will warn him, and through him his
clients, that if I am elected I will not only
vigorously enforce against all offenders
the law which w hope to have enacted in
compliance with the Democratic platform,
but that I will also v'gorousiy enTorce ex
isting laws against any and all who violate
them; and that I will enforce them, not
spasmodically and Intermittently, but per
sistently and consistently; they will not be
suspended, even for the protection of Cab
inet officers.
Trusts Pop port Republicans.
You say: "Tha attitude of many men
of 'large financial interests' warrants you
In "expressing the beiief that those trust
magnates whose fear of being prosecuted
undr the law by Mr. Taft Is greater than
tbelr fear of general business adversity
'under me will support me rather thsn Mr.
Taft- You have attempted to word that
statement in such a way as to claim the
support of all the trust magrates and yet :
put It on the ground that they are support- j
lng your party for patriotic reasons rather
thsn for the promotion of a selfish interest.
That Is ingenious, but It is not sound. The
trust magnates are supporting the Repub
lican party, and the Bible offers an ex
planation: "The ox knoweth his owner and
the ass his master's crib."
You admit that you gave permission to
the steel trust to. absorb a rival and thus
increase Its control of the output of the
steel and Iron products. I will leave the
American people to pass Judgment upon
that act and I compare your position on
the trust question with mine.
Willing- to Compare Funds.
You refer to our campaign fund In J 96
and accuse us of allowing two men to con
tribute largely to the small fund with
which the committee conducted -the cam
paign. I am not sure -about tne figures you
ue. because I have not seen an authentic
statement of the contributions, but I -was
Informed that the largest of the two sums
which you mention was not all contributed
by the man to whom it was credited, but
Included contributions from others as well
as that which be gave himself. But If
you want to be fair, why do you not give
the amount of the Republican- campaign
fund that year and the sources of it ? I
am willing to have both funds published.
Are you? If some of those who contributed
to our .fund less than $100 had a pecuniary
Interest In the result of the election, how
will you explain the enormous contributions
made to the Republican fund?
If you. will remember, the Democratic
platform candidly declared the party's pur
pose. If the carrying out of that policy
would have been of advantage to anyone,
the whole public had knowledge and tlie
publication of the contributions would not
have affected the result. Publicity as to
campaign funds is cot needed to make
known that which is disclosed by the plat
form, but to direct attention to secret
agreements, expressed or implied, which
would otherwise be concealed from the pub
lic You certainly pay more attention to
the mete than to the beam when you find
fault with our National carffnalgn fund
In 1806 and ignore the significance of a
fund almost as large, which at your re
quest was collected from a few persons
In 1004 and was used In one state and was
only a small item In the fund collected
that year.
Publicity of Funds.
But your letter presents a defense of
your party's position and an accusation
against the voters which emphasises an
Issue already prominent. You are the first
conspicuous member of your party to at
tempt an explanation of the party's oppo
sition to publicity before the election, and
the admission which you make will em
barrass your party associates. Your posi
tion Is that the publication before election
of the contributions made to your campaign
fund would furnish your political opponents
opportunity to "give a false Impression" as
to the fitness of the candidate. You cite
as Illustrations the contribution made to
Governor Hughes' campaign fund, collected
by Mr. Harrlman, and the contributions
which are now being; collected for Mr.
Taft's campaign fund. You charge in ef
fect that the people are so lacking In in
telligence that they might condemn as
improper conrtibutions which you declare
to be proper. If the voters differ with you
on this question, are they necessarily ig
norant and wrong? Must the members of
the party organization act as self-appointed
guardians of the people and conceal from
them what la going- on, lest the poople be
misled as to the purpose and effect of large
contributions? Is this your explanation
of the action of the Republican leaders in
the National convention in voting; down a
puoucuy plan k 7
Quotes Bible to Koosevelt,
If you will pardon the suggestion, I be
lieve a better explanation can be found in
Holy Writ for do we not read of men lov-
in- darkness rather than lla-ht. hfrmu th
deeds are evil? You attempt to make a
personal question of it and ask whether any
one will accuse such, men as you, Governor
nugnw una air. i art or Deing in nue need by
contributions. This is not the question. If
it Is found that a party to a suit has given
a sum of money to one of the Jurors, the
court does not stop to Inquire whether or not
the Juror is an incorruptible man or
whether or not in accepting the money he
explicitly stated that it was accepted with
the understanding that he was under no
obligation to consider It in making up his
verdict. The court would hold that the
giving of money by an Interested party or
the receiving of money was a contempt of
coun ana an interference witn tne idmln
Istratlon of Justice. T
Public officials occupy much the same po
sition as Jurors. They are constantly called
upon to decide questions between the favor-seeklng-
corporations on the one hand and
the people on the other, and there is a very
general impress Ion that officials of these
favor-seeking corporations do not put up
large sums of money from purely patriotic
motives. Mr. Havemeyer testified before a
Senate committee some years airo that the
Sugar Trust made It a business to con
tribute to campaign funda and that It was
Its custom to give to the party in power in
the state.
People Must Judge Motives,
I do not mean to say that Mr. Hughes
was Influenced by the contributions made
to him by trust magnates whose names were
given In the after-election report. I do not
i to say mat you were influenced by
the contributions collected by Mr. Harrlman.
neither no I mean to say that Mr. Taft will
be influenced by taking contributions that
are bein made to his fund by the trust
magnates; but I do mean to say that the
American people have a right to know what
contributions are beins made .that thev mav
Judge of themselves the motive of the givers
ana tne ooiigation imposed upon tnose wno
receive. The reflection upon the people In
volved In your charge that they would mis
use the knowledge which publicity would
give Is unworthy of one who has been ele
vated to so high an office by the votes of
the people, and I venture the assertion that
you cannot procure from Mr. Taft an in
dorsement of your defense. He is now be
fore the people; he Is offerins: himself as a
candidate for the Presidency; he dare not
tell the people to whom he aooeals that
they have not sense enough to form a lust
and. correct opinion as to the purpose which
leads parties interested in special legislation
to maae Dig contriDutions.
you rear that we would misrepresent the
motives of those who are contributing to the
Republican campaign fund and cast an un
just suspicion upon Republican candidates, if
ine names ana amounts were made known
before the election. Your argument. if
sound, would prevent nubllcatlun after the
election, for why should an unjust suspicion
be cast upon officials after the election any
more than before Dopi not the irrarv
before the election increase this suspicion? ,
we are sjoins; io give you an opportunity
to misrepresent the motives of those who
give to our campaign fund and to arouse '
ii me suspicion you can; we are going to I

The Spiers family is said to be the

he regretted exceedingly to announce
that the works would be closed, par

their determination of closing: down the
plant, going into voluntary liquidation,
because of lack of business in their par
ticular line. It was stated that the di
rectors believed It more prudent to
cease operations than to attempt to con
tinue business at a loss. The assets.
It Is said, are more than enough to pay
the obligations. A committee of credi
tors, headed by Frank P. Anderson, of
the Bank of California, was appointed
to convert the property of the corpora
tion into cash.
Has Bnilt 500 Vessels.
The Fulton Iron Works, during the
50 years It has been in existence, has
built fully 00 vessels. Including many
now afloat on the bay and coast. ' By
its present owners it is valued at about
$1,000,000. The company was controlled
by a close corporation, composed large
ly of the members of the family of
James Spiers, general manager, and by
far the largest stockholder.
The plant was established In 1858 by
D. D. Hinckley & Co., as a small foun
dry, which gradually expanded into a
modern shipbuilding concern. In its
more prosperous days and up to but a
ehort time ago it carried hundreds of
men on its dally payroll. It is under
stood that the plant will remain open
particularly Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Ireland who objected to
the secretary's severe measures against
modernism. According to the Avanti,
Cardinal Vannutelll received these com
plaints In London at the time of the
Eucharistic Congress and transmitted
them to the Pope. In the event of
Merry del Val's retirement, he prob
ably will be succeeded by Cardinal
Kampolla, who formerly held this of
fice. Rampolla's return to power would
mean & policy of dignified conciliation
with regard to France and an attitude
of greater reserve toward Italy.

Mr. Kern, in a dark business suit
and the latest thing in green fedoras,
was standing in the lobby of the Aud

rushed up and asked to' shake hands
with the "next Vice-President."
"Certainly, with pleasure," said Mr.
Kern, "but to make sure-you would
better shake hands with that man over
there that one with the side whiskers.
That is Mr. Sherman."
The stranger did as suggested, and
then Mr. Sherman and Mr. Kern began
moving toward each other and pres
ently the long sinewy hand of the sec
ond man on the Democratic ticket -was
grasped in the plump one of his Re
publican opponent. They smiled gen
ially, exchanged felicitations on the
drop in temperature and other com
monplaces and then departed to catch
trains.
With reference to the Big Four Rail
road pass belonging to Mr. Kern and
which was reported found, it leaked
out that Mr. Kern had lost it along
with the other contents of his pocket
book at Connersville, Ind., upon his
recent visit to that city. Mr. Kern
believes that lh the press of the crowd
the wallet was deftly lifted from his
pocket The pocketbook, minus the
money it had contained, but with the
paper, including the Big Four pass
intact, was found under a Btone at
Connersville and reached the hands of
a newspaper editor, who informed Mr.
Kern at Baltimore that the purse had
been found.
Mr. Kern stated today that the pass
had been given him in the routine
manner as an attorney acting for the
Big Four road in a number of damage
cases.
