It cannot be successfully de-
nied that William H. Taft is the
selection of one man, Theodore
Roosevelt, for President, and
that William Jennings Bryan is
the selection of the great demo-
cratic hosts. Now the question
arises; Which is it better to take,
the selection of cne man or the
selection- of the masses?

Whether guilty of the charges
made against him or not, Gov.
C. N. Haskell of Oklahoma has
done the right thing in resign
ing as treasurer of the Nation-
al Democratic Committee. He
could not afford to embarrass
the whole party for his sake.
The welfare of the party is para-
mount to the fortunes of any
one man. . Since he has resigned
he is free to make a fight on
those who have made the charg-
es and we hope to see him vindi-
cated. He threatens to bring
suit for libeland to include in that
suit William Randolph Hearst
and President Theodore Roose-
velt. We think the President
has gene beyond the preroga-
tive of bis high office and needs
to be taught a lesson.
It will be obseryed from an ad
in this issue of the Echo that we
have decided to make an effort
to raise a small campaign fund
to further the election of Bryan
and Kern, the democratic nomi-
nees for President and Vice
President We want it under-
stood that whatever is contribu-
ted should be as a free will offer-
ing, and for that reason we don’t
intend to go around and ask-peo-
pip to contribute.' If you desire
to contribute anything it should
be done at once because it is cnly
about ore month until1 the na-
Foraker’s explanation failed
to explain and he stands con-
demned before the public. His
