This is a campaign creation, and does not fool any sensible person. It is hardly necessary to say that such a condition dot's not exist in the busi ness world today, and the story which is nothing more than bum in be is being utilized to serve the purpose of politicians. If there is one thing of more inter* es- than politics to the majority of citizens in this country it is the cost of living.

His North Ameri can company controls the traction in terests of St. Paul and Minneapolis. He is president of the Union League club, of which Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie and other powers in Wall street are also members He Is also said to be a member < 2 0 other clubs whose membership includes practi cally all of the operators in Wall street. In 1906 Mr. Sheldon was treasurer of the New York State Republican committee, and succeeded so well In frying the fat from the interests that Mr. Cromwell recommended him for a similar job with the National com mittee. According to the sworn state ment of Mr. Sheldon, published after the campaign, he raised $333,923.60 chiefly from these interests. The Following is a partial list of the contributors as shown in Mr. Shel don’s statement- J. Pierpont Morgan. Wall street banker and promoter .............$20,000 Levi P.

Henry Clews, Wall street 250 banker ...................................... This is only a partial list of the trust magnates and financiers who con tributed to Mr. Sheldon's fund. An index as to how much more Mr. Shel don may be able to raise from these interests for the national campaign, the fact may be cited that Mr. Crom well gave $1,000 to the state fund, and increased the amount to $50,000 for the national campaign. Fred W. Upham of Chicago is as sistant treasurer of the Republican National committee. He is a million aire several times bver, and a memiier of the County Board of Review of Il linois, which passes upon the amount of taxes which corporations and large estates shall pay in that state. He is a director in several corporations and is in charge of the collection of cam paign funds in the west. On August 21, 1908, after his ap pointment as Assistant Treasurer of the Republican committee, Mr. Up ham sent out thousands of letters to corporation officials whose taxes he passes upon as a member of the Board of Review, urging them to contribute to the Republican fund as “ individu als,” and requesting them “ to bring this matter to the attention of your business associates.” The suggestion implied is regarded as significant. Five of the nine members of the Republican committee are: Charles F. Brooker, Connecticut millionaire, members o f N. Y. Cham ber of Commerce, and vice-president New York. New Haven Railroad Co., against which a government suit is now pending, and one of the leading spirits in the brass trust. Frank O. Lowden, multi-millionaire, vice-president Pullman Palace Car Co., which is a monopoly. E. C. Duncan, director Atlantic & North Carolina railway, and other cor porations. receiver Seaboard Air Line, and official dispenser o f patronage in North Carolina. T. Coleman DuPont, controlling fac tor in Powder Trust, against which the government has a suit now pend ing for dissolution. Boise Penrose, political boss of Pennsylvania, head of the corrupt Re publican organization in Philadelphia, and conspicuous in many corporations. Roy O. West, chairman of the Re publican State Committee of 111., is also chairman of the County Board of Equalization, which pusses upon cor-1 poratlon taxes. Fred A Sims, acting chairman of the Republican State committee of In- j diana, is also chairman of the State Tax hoard, which passes upon the ( taxes levied against corporations. Mr. DuPont has been forced to re sign from the executive committee be cause of his trust connections, but Mr. j Brooker. against whose company the government has a suit, is still a mem ber of the committee.

With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn, when not needed, to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bill amounts to only about $2 per month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electric light, but does it save you anything when it limits opportunities for work and recreation, ruins your eyesight, smokes your walls, mars decorations and increases household work. You can probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals, but it wouldn’ t be economy. It is not wo much what you save, but how you save, that counts. We are always ready to ex plain the “ ins and on is” of the lighting proposition to you. Call on us or phone to us. We are never too busy to Talk business. I § Branch O ffice, 836 F 8 L .
