Rockefeller's Declaration for
l'ondcroug Candidate is
Thoroughly Understood.
(fcy Associated Press.)
NKW YORK. Oct . Chaws
were made today by Chairman Maok.
of llii democratic national committee,
Hun th declaration of John D. Rock
i. viler for Taft was the result of the
deal tfet.ween--thc. republican national,
comlttcc and the Standard Oil Inter-'
."ti", whereby National rhalrman '
Hitchcock received large campaign,
contributions and Mr. Rockefeller the
promises. ' ,
Fine to Be Fixed. '
Mr. Maok said that undoubtedly the:
$29, 000, 800 fine against the Htandnrd :
OH company would be fixed up In the 1
event of Mr. Taft's election as part
of the bargain.
"The Standard Oil company has
landed wbero everybody knew ltJ
would land. Mr. Rockefeller held
back for a bargain and sot what he
wanted. His declaration for Taft Is,
good for at least 100,000 votes In the !
doubtful states. I cannot speculate:
on the exact amount the republican!
national committee received from Air. j
llocckeff ller, but 1 can rest assured j
that they both received their prices, j
the republican committee, the money j
and Rockefeller the promises, which j
miggests the question whether j art is
with Rockefeller or with Roosevelt.
Oil and Sterl Mne l.
"We now have an oil trust and the
steel trust lined UP side by side
working for Mr. Taft's candidacy. Mr.
Carnegie' statement yesterday on his
arrival from Europe that the election
tragedy is not niy shocking. but Tuls Xatiiral Sympathy, for
should arouse the Indignation of all
fair-minded etUsens of the country,
regardless of party affiliations. Mr.
Carnegie, I am reliably informed. Is
not even a Voter In this count'. Mr.
Carnegie has amassed a large fortune
a. the result In part at leant or re- ;
publican policies, ppeclut privileges
publican policies, ppeclal privileg-
and a robber tariff, which Mr. Bryan
and every try 3 democrat condemns as
so odious and oppressive us to demand
imodlate reform. Hence the election
of Mr. Bryan is denounced by Mr.
Carnegie as a tragedy."
Fund or S3.000.000.
Chairman Mack declared that he
had learned that the republican na
tional eomlttec had a campaign Tund
of S3. 000, 000 and that of this fund
J:'. 000. 000 was being used for purposes
of coercion and bribery. The national
fhalrman paid further that IIOO.00O
of the republican campaign fund had
been sent into Ohio.

STANDARD OIL OUT
FOR TAFT.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30
"I expect to vote for W.
H. Taft," said John D.
Rockefeller, in a statement
given out in the Standard
Oil company's offices here
last night. "It is for no
selfish reason I support
Mr. Taft, but on compar
ing him with Mr. Bryan,
his chief opponent; I find
the balance of fitness and
temperament entirely on
his side. The election of
Mr. Taft will, I believe,
make for law and order
and stability of business.
"The question of candi
dates seems to me peculi
arly a personal one in this
campaign, as the leading
orators on both sides have
not succeeded in drawing
party lines, as , based on
platforms, with any great
clearness. I do, however,
support the general repub
lican positioii on the tariff
and the currency."
