Why Brown Sugar Disappeared Washington, D. C.—A campaign fund contributed wholly by the peo- ple, and untainted by a single dollar of contribution from illegal trusts and monopolies! This is the watchword of Hon, James T. Lloyd, chairman of the Na- tional Democratic Congressional Com- mittee in starting in to raise a cam- paign fund to carry on necessary or ganization and educational work looking toward the election of Demo- crats to Congress this fall. The work of this committee in the 1910 campaign was something enorm- ous. Every Democratic candidate for Congress in the United States was given valuable assistance, and millions upon millions of speeches, campaign books, etc., were distributed, increas- ing the number of Democratic work- ers everywhere and creating a vast amount of Democratic sentiment. A House of Representatives Democratic by 65 majority followed. This committee is confronted with an even more important campaign, and is today ‘wholly without funds as a result of its refusal to accept ‘‘easy”’ mothers used to cook with, has prac- tically disappeared from the market. This isa reason. This reason con- drich tariff law, in the form of a color | test known as ‘Dutch Standard No. 16.” When this test was fixed it} meant the barring out of the old fash- ioned brown sugar, cheap and good, and that is why this brand of sugar has disappeared from the market. Whenever a tariff bill is in the making the agents of the sugar trust are on hand to see that the “‘Dutch Standard”’ | is maintained, and they had no diffi- culty in getting the makers of the} Payne-Aldrich law to accede to their wishes. Trusts Thrive Under Tariff John Moody, editor of Moody’s Magazine, and perhaps the greatest financial authority in this country, has prepared the following table which shows how the trusts have increased in number and capitalization under the present system of excessive pro- Full State Returns Not Yet in. be Close.

Jefferson City, August 2.—Confi- dential letters received here the last few days from prominent Bull Moos- ers in various parts of the state ex- ;pese Gov. Hadley’s ‘latest political |trick. Before leaving on his last trip jto the Chautauqua circuit he laid some wires that he did not think would be soon, if ever, discovered. In conference with certain appointees he has been scheming artfully to have former Rossevelt Republicans pretend they are yet Progressive, enter the Bull Moose caucuses and conventions in sufficient numbers to control and nominate a state ticket, as well as choose presidential electors. He plans then for the Bull Moosers to apply to the secretary of state to have the new state ticket put on the official ballot and knowing the provisions of the primary election law preclude the legal filing of a ticket at this date, he advises his co-conspirators in the scheme to bring a mandamus suit, and gives assurance that the supreme court will declare the primary law unconstitutional and order the new ticket put on the official ballot. This being accomplished, a more interest- ing chapter is to follow. The nomi- nee on the Bull Moose ticket for the more important officers are to resign and the committee are to substitute the regular Republican nominees; a few of the Republican nominees for the lesser offices on the Republican ticket are to resign and the corres- ponding nominee on the Bull Moose ticket are to be substituted. Thus the Hadleyesque scheme is to have the same names appear on both the Roosevelt and Taft state tickets. Having shot to pieces the party that elevated him into the executive office, Gov. Hadley hopes by the means described to restore the equi- librium and solidarity of his party in Missouri. The scheme is as bold as it is beautiful. There may be several reasons why the scheme will not work. One is sufficient. The su- preme court knows the law and will refuse to be handled by Hadley as pawns on his political cheese board. His secret movements are not in com- plete harmony with his authorized public interviews, but the difference only serves to illustrate the Jekyll- Hyde character of the Politician he has always proved himself to be. ee Clark is Renominated; Cole is His Opponent , ecuting Attorne: of Franklin This makes rk favor ator hls defeat fer eee Sit
