The republican preen in endeavoring 1
to show that contracts for the delivery
of lar e orders of merchandise o y ,
manufactured articles are being made
contingent upon the election of Taft.
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. The people are hearing ^
constantly of the wonderful benefits j
that will come to ¡hem th ough the
continuance of republican rule in
nation and state, yet concerning the i

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.

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.

Is another evidence that the people do
not rule at Washington, hut that the

Republican party. As to legislation,
Mr Sherman, candidate for vice-presi

It is economical becausejit can be quickly turned off when not
needed. 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
