the New York World says' the cost
of the Taft campaign up to date has
been $750,000, paid by Brother
Charles, who is reptited to be worth
$20,000,000. VrhJs exceeds ' Mark
Hanna's great boodle campaign of
.1896. This correspondent' says
money has been pourea out like
water in Missouri, Kansas, -Oklahoma,
and other states, and credits
many Taft delegates to this influ
ence. This Is restated for what It
may be worth, and while it probably
exaggerates, it is also probable that
there is some truth in it. It is to
be noticed, in this connection, : that
among the measures the president
