ROCKEFELLER'S MOVE SI TO
HAVE BEEN TO HURT TAFT
Declaration For Republican
Candidate Was Ruse Ar
ranged By Democrats.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
EXPOSES THEIR PLANS
White House Issues Red Hot
Statement On Standard
Oil's Trick.
fBy Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 31.
Following up a red hot statement is
sued last evening from the White
House regarding the announcement
made by John D. Rockefeller of his
preference for Taft in the presiden
tial struggle, a second statement was
issued today. President received
numerous letters and a telegram
showing that this trick of Rockefel
ler was doubtless made by agreement
with tho Democratic party, will fall
absolutely. It Is self evident as T.aft
has said that if Rockefeller had
really wanted him to be elected, he
would have kept quiet about It and
that he has come out for him as
being way In which he can damage
him most.
Tho Republicans claim that pre
vious developments have shown that
Standard Oil and Rockefeller are be
hind the Democratic party and
Bryan, and when their secret aid was
exposed by W. R. Hearst, Mr. Rocke
feller and the Standard Oil forces
thought the best way to throw dust
In the eyes of the voters of the coun
try would bo to have Rockefeller de
clare In favor of Taft. This, the Re
publican managers say, the Demo
crats and the Standard Oil Company
figured would turn many thousands
of votes from Taft to Bryan.
Republican leaders think that
President Roosevelt's statement of
the trick will be accepted generally
by voters and that it will react on
Bryan apd Democracy Instead of
helping them as planned.

BRYAN'S FINAL SAY.
Democratic Lender Outlines Ills
Principles.
(By Associated Press.)
WINCHESTER, Ind., Oct. 31. W.
J. Bryan, in winding up his tour of
tho east, made public "An appeal to
the public," in which he summarizes
the principles of the party now
standing. They Include the follow
ing: Reforms In politics by compelling
the publication of campaign contri
butions; election of senators by di
rect vote of the people; recognition
of labor and capital by legislation
and by the creation of a department
of labor with a representative in the
cabinet; amendment of the anti
trust law which will exclude labor
organizations from operating under
that law; limitation of the writ of
Injunction; guarantee of bank de
posits; reduction of the tariff by
gradual steps.
Ho further says, "With a Demo
cratic victory for the national tlc
lret, with a Democratic congress and
with the mcVral force of the popular
verdict, I believe we can compel the
senate to yield to tho expressed win
of tho people and permit tho passage
of the more urgent of tho reforms."
BRYAN TALKS
OFJL DEAL
Democratic Leader Makes
Capital Out of Rockefeller
Statement.
(By Associated Press.)
NAPOLEON, Ohio, Oct. 30. Col.
Bryan gave out a statement here to
day commenting on John D. Rocke
feller's declaration that he would
vote for Taft. Bryan says ho is not
surprised. He adds that there are
several things In the statement de
serving attention. Bryan declares
that "Rockefeller Is for Taft because
Taft is for Rockefeller; he is for Taft
because Taft is in sympathy with the
trusts." The Democrat candidate
says Taft has been making speeches
for several weeks, but he has not
dwelt on the trust question. "No
wonder Rockefeller is for Taft," says
Bryan. Bryan asserts that Rocke
feller's statement that Taft's elec
tion will make for law and order is
false. "Rockefeller's corporation,"
Bryan declares, "is the most noto
rious law-breaker In the United Sta
tes and Rockefeller is for Taft because
he does not want the law enforced.
If he thought Taft would enforce the
law against the Standard Oil Com
pany and that he favored the enact
ment of more stringent laws against
the Standard Oil Company, as I do,
he would not be for Taft." Bryan
said "Rockefeller thinks Taft's 'elec
tion would enable the trusts to get
a greater hold on the American peo
ple." Bryan declares that Taft Is
not In favor of any remedial legisla
tion and does not propose remedies.
He simply glories in the past and
wants to leave conditions as they are.
Bryan thinks the Democrats have
reason to be grateful to (Rockefeller
for tearing the mask off the Rppub
llcan campaign and reTeallng the du
plicity that has characterized It.
After issuing his formal appeal
to the people for the support of the
democracy, Bryan at this place today
renewed his attacks on Rockefeller
and Carnegie because of the strict
ures made upon him in connection
with their announcement that thev
favored the election of Taft. He said
that every trust magnate is support
ing Taft because he stands for the
trusts. He said the trusts would not
be very grateful if they would not
support Taft. He said, "I have
children and I have grandchildren,
and I would be ashamed to look
them In the face If I was willing to
barter away the liberties of the peo
ple and sell this nation to industrial
bondage to a few great trust mag
nates, and that is what is being done
In this country today."
