Money Thay Was Sprat
Taft and Roosevelt
Before Nomination,
New York World.
Gov. Wilson's campaign for the
Democratic nomination for Presi
dent cost about 1214.000. Mr. Taft's
campaign for renoniinatlon cost
more. than twice aa much; Mr. Roos
evelt's battle for the lord at Arma
geddon cost more than three times
as much, the total Taft expenditures
!elng approximately H5.00o and
the total Roosevelt expenditures
$688,000, according to testimony
thus far taken by the Senate com
mittee. The Taft expenses and the Rooa-
sevelt expenses ought legitimately
to have been less than the Wilson
expenses. Mr. Tart controlled the
Republican uatlonal organization.
and the whole power of the Federal
maentne was employed to round up
delegates for him. Mr. Roosevelt
hud no Federal machine, but he had
a large number of State machines.
The Fllnn organization in Pennsyl
vania, the Itrown organization in
Ohio, the Stubs organization lu
Kansas, the Johnson organization In
California, the lladley organization
In Missouri, the Glasscock organis
ation in West Virginia and the Os-
born organization In Michigan were
all arrayed on Mr. Roosevelt's side.
lth their armies of State office
holders.
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft had
been touring the country for years.
making speeches In every impor
tant State. One of them had been
President for seven years and a half,
the other had been President more
than three years. In the course of
their public careers millions of their
addresses and speeches had been
sent to voters at the. public's ex
pense. Moreover, all the machin
ery of publicity was at their command.
Gov. Wilson, on the other hand,
was little known outside of his own
State when his cmapaign for Presi
dent began. The rank and file of
the Democratic party had never
seen him or heard him speak. Every
body knew something about Mr.
Taft and Mr. Roosevelt, but the
A-ork of presenting Gov. Wilson's
qualifications for the Presidency had
to begin at the beginning.
In addition, most of the regular
Democratic politicians were against
him. He had no machine support
anywhere. Every Democratic boBS
was opposed to htm; every Demo
cratic organization was aiding some
body else's candidacy. Yet in the
end he was nominated by the sheer
power of a public opinion that was
not accelerated with money. Not a
dollar of his campaign contributions
or of his campaign expenditures re
quires apology. Neither Plutocracy
nor Privilege filled his coffers. No
Perkins lugged Wall street contri
butions to Armageddon for his benefit.
Nothing better Illustrates one of
the fundamental differences between
the Republican and Democratic par
ties In this campaign than the P re
convention expenditures of their
candidates. In the Republican side
the admitted expense of Mr. Taft
and Mr. Roosevelt efceed ftl.163.-
000. In th. Democratic side the
combined expenditures of Wood row
Wilson and Champ Clark were only
1265,468. The Tart-Roosevelt cam
paign for the nomination cost four
times as much as the Wilson-Clark
campaign.
It is only Republican candidates
who can command these tremendous
sums of money. It is only the ben
eficiaries of Republican legislation
and policies who can afford to con
tribute such sums.
Cotton Stealing.
Waxhaw Enterprise.
Cotton stealing is becoming very
popular just at this season. Mr. C.
O. Stogner, according to the Lancas
ter News, rounded up three parties
at his cotton house one night last
week. They were Charlie Gregory
and Lee Helms, white and Sam Nel
son, colored. They had visited Mr.
Stogner's cotton house before and
were going to take a bale this time.
Before they got away with the
goods Mr. Stogner appeared on the
scene with a shotgun. The two white
men "lit a rag," but the colored
man, who wag on the inside of the
house, did not care to take any
foolish chances In facing a loaded
run and quietly surrendered. Next
morning the two white men surren
dered. They were all placed under
a $500 bond.
Some one lifted about ISO pounds
of cotton from the porch of Mr.
Spurgeon Walters' house, in the
College Hill community, one night
last week. Mr. Walters had weigh
ed the cotton the evening before so
he would know If any had been
taken during the night, but next
morning he didn't have to weigh It
to see If any was missing as it was
nearly all gone.
It's strange that people of

JACK JOHNSON AGAIN.
Whit Mother Charges That He Has
Her Daughter and Will Not He-
leaae Hrr.
Chicago. III.. Oct. IT. Jack John
son, the negro heavyweight champ
ion pugilist, appeared before Chief
or Police McWeenr today to eiDlain
his relations with UUs Lucile Cam
eron, the 19-year-old unite girl.
uaugnter or Airs, r . Cameron-Fal
conet. of Minneapolis, for whom the
police had been asked to search by
me mother.
In a dramatic appeal Mrs. Camer
on-Falconet told of her failure to
get ber daughter from the influ
enees of the negro. She described
tier anguish when khe learned last
Friday that ber dauchttr u a
frequenter of Johnson's cafe and
how he made a hurried trip here to
rescue the girl her Interviews with
the pugilist who she declan-d In
sulted her and flouted her plea
wiai ne give up tne girl.
Johnson, she said, told her' "he
could get any woman he wanted."
"When I found Lucile I pleads)
with her to come back and 1 would
go to any place with her and shield
ner rroni criticism back home. She
rerused to come, being apparently
under Johnson's Influence.
"Then I telephoned the pugilist.
He said be would send an automo
bile for me.
"When his automobile arrived he
vas In it himself, although he said
It would be empty. When I entered
the machine I drew down the shades
so as not to be seen. This mettled
him.
"Oh, some of the best white wo
men in Chicago ride in this car,"
is what he said to me.
"I begged Johnson to give my
daughter up. He said be would not
and leered In my face.
"We rode to a home on Sheridan
road where Lucile was staying. She
wept and told me she hud gone too
far to go back.
"I left her undecided. Finally she
came to my hotel. We talked of how
she could become disentangled. I
was convinced at that time that the
negro had a hypnotic Influence over
her.
"She went downstairs to use the
telephone, she said, and never re
turned. Johnson told me he would
give every dollar he had to hold
her."
Johnson made an absolute denial
of unduly friendly relations with
Miss Cameron and that Infatuation
for the Cameron girl was one of the
causes of the suicide recently of his
white wife. He declared the girl left
1 er position as cashier in his cafe
for another position and that his
wife had never seen Miss Cameron.
Miss Cameron was taken into cus
tody by the police, tonight after she
had refused to leave her compan
ions In Chicago and accompany her
mother to Minneapolis. She was
questioned by Police Captain N'oot
bear and later taken to the
South Clark street police station
for the night. She was arrested
on complaint of her mother, but
va not booked.
