The Game Exposed.
The campaign for the nomina-
tion lias now progressed far en-
ough to enable the democratic
voters to know the methods that
are being employed by the Wall
street crowd to capture the Bal-
timore convention. Mr. Harmon
and Mr. Underwood are the re-
actionary candidates. The pre-
datory interests are quite indif-
ferent as to which of these gen-
tlemen is nominated. Mr. Har-
mon was picked out first, but
"big business" began to smile
upon Mr. Underwood, as soon as
it became evident that Mr. Har-
mon was not making headway
as a candidate. They have now
divided up the territory in which
they think a reactionary has a
chance, and Mr. Harmon is run-
ning in a few states in tin- north,
and Mr. Underwood in six states
in the south. z
In the north, and in Ohio, the
democrats are appealed to vote
for Mr. Harmon as a matter of
state pride; but Mr. llamon's de-
legates. if they are reactionaries
at heart, will be at the disposal
ot Mr. Underwood when Mr. Har-
mon is out of the way: and Mr.
Underwood's delegates will be
equally at the disposal of Mr.
Harmon—except the delegates
from Alabama, who are so tied
up that they ean not be delivre-
ed to anyone leading the Under-
wood fight, and appealing to
southern pride on behalf of Mr.
Underwood as a southern man.
There could be no clearer case
of bad faith, and the fact that
such methods are resorted to,
ought to convince any fair-mind-
ed man that the reactionaries are
not expecting to win by an open,
honest fight, but by deliberate
deception. A reactionary would
find it impossible to win at a
time like this, when so large a
majority of the people are pro-
gressive; but the chances of a
reactionary candidate would be
still further weakened, if he were
nominated as a result of a com-
bination between a few men run-
ning in different sections on
local sentiment.
Governor Harmon and Mr. Un-
derwood are working both sid; s
of the street, but their tactics
are becoming so well known that
they can not hope to continue
much longer even the small suc-
cess that lias attended their ef-
forts.—The Commoner.
STATE LOSES MUCH

a decision of the United States
supreme court Monday, that the
state cannot tax land allotted to
about 8,000 less ban half blood

court was reversed in the eases.
The state claimed the right to
tax the lands under a law of May
27, 1908, which provided that the
land of less than half blood In-
dians in Oklahoma should be free
from restrictions as to sale and
subject to taxation.
The court held that the terms
of the patents to the Indians
were binding in the Indians claim
and so its terms, one of which
exempts tin' land from taxation
should be binding on the govern

"Too Late" Babies Win.
The right of about 5,000 Chero-*
kee babies born after September
1, 1902, and living on March 4,
18.6, to participate on an equal
footing with other Cherokees in
the government distribution of
several million dollars of the
Cherokee funds in the treasury
was upheld Monday by the fed-
eral supreme court.
The court refused to enjoin the
secretary of the interior and the
secretary of the treasury from
paying money to the babies.
