A dispatch from 'o the Record-Herald 6ays: Rockefeller, president of the il company, gave out an in-ay in-ay telling rrhy ho intended Tafr. for president.

Taft because on comparing him personally per-sonally with Mr. Bryan, his chief opponent, oppo-nent, I find tho baianco of fitness and temperament cntirelv on his side. . "Tho election of Mr. Taft will, I believe, be-lieve, mako for law and order and stability sta-bility of busiucss. lie is not a man, I judge, to adventuro with rash experiments experi-ments or to impede a return to prosperity pros-perity b' advocating measures subversive subver-sive of industrial progress. "The question of candidates seems to me peculiarly a personal ono in this campaign, as tho leading orators on both sides havo not succeeded in drawing draw-ing party lines, as based on platforms, with any great cleverness. I do, however, how-ever, support tho general Ropublican position po-sition on the tariff and thr currency. "I havo always been a Republican. "I fool tho more impelled to answor this question because it cannot bo said that the present administration has in nny way whatever favored tho special interest to which my life has been devoted. de-voted. That, however, docs not excuse me from publishing my opinion and doing do-ing what I consider my duty as a citizen.. citi-zen.. ' ' Mack Makes Charges. Charges were made today by Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee, that, the declaration declara-tion of John D. Rockefeller for Taft for president was the result of a deal between be-tween the Republican national committee commit-tee and the Standard Oil interests wherebv Nationul Chairman Hitchcock received large campaign contributions, and Mr. Rockefeller tho promises. Mr. Mack said that undoubtedlv the $29,-000,000 $29,-000,000 fine of tho Standard Oil com- Sanj would bo fixed up in the event of r. Taft's election as a part of tho bargain. bar-gain. Mr. Mack said: "The Standard Oil company has landed land-ed where everybody knew it would land. Mr. Rockefeller held back for a bargain and got what he wanted. His declaration for Taft is good for at least 1.00,000 votes in the doubtful stateH. I cannot speculate on the exact amount the Republican national committee received re-ceived from Mr. Rockefeller, but one can rest assured that they both received their price, Hitchcock getting the money and Rockefeller the promises, which suggest the question whether Taft is with Rockefeller or with Roosevelt. Roast for Carnogio. "We now have the oil trust and the steel trust lined up sido by sido working for Mr. Tafts candidacy. Mr. Car negio's statement yesterday on his arrival ar-rival from Europe that the election of Mr. Bryan would be a national tragedy is not "only shocking butt should arouse the indignation of all fair minded citizens citi-zens of the country regardless of party affiliation. Mr. Carnegie, I am reliably informed, is not even a voter in this country. M". Carnegie has amassed a large fortune as the result, .in part at least, of Republican policies, special privilogos and a robber tariff, which Mr. Bryan and every true Democrat condemn con-demn as so odious and appressive as to demand immediate reform. Hence the election of Mr. Bryan is denounced by Mr. Carnegie as a tragedy." Chairman Mack declared that ho had learned that tho Republican -national committee had a campaign fund of $3,-000,000 $3,-000,000 and that of this sum $2,000,000 was being used for tho purpose of coercion coer-cion and bribery. Tho national chairman chair-man said further that $200,000 of the Ropublican campaign fund had been sent into Indinna and that more than that sum had been sent into Ohio. |
