IT THIS. cOuntrv hat ever seen
Anything really grotesque, it
sees, it ' now m,., the scramble to
V'get from under: the Rockefeller
Interview. .The Taft managers are
fleeing from It as from the. plague.
All thfj Bryans on earth c?thd not,
in a thousand years, bring about
such a panic as now exists at the
White House. ' There, the little Pa-
mer is m eruption and issuing a
stream of , manifestos declaring in
effect that no matter what the king
of Standard Oil says. Rockefeller is
not for Taft
It seems' strangely5 odd that the
president should thus InslBt that
Rockefeller doesn't know his own
busilress. In the excitement of the
moment, the usual presidential pre
rogative of calling Mr. Rockefeller
"a liar,"' has been overlooked. If
In the next news from the" national
capital the king' of the oil can
doesn't find himself In the presi
derit'a Ananias club, we shall know
that the, wires have gone down un

Roosevelt at that time sent bis man
Cortelyou to get money from Stand
ard Oil, and got it to the tune ot
$100,000. " When more money was
needed, Cortelyou was sent again to
26 Broadway, and the door was shot

pealed to Harrlman, who , raised
$260,000, of which Standard Oil
contributed $30,000. This is the sit

prived by a state law of exercising
their personal choice In voting for a
