SUPPLANT ROOSEVELT
Fairy Story From Washington
to the Effect That Trusts
Are Against Teddy.

A rather remarkable political story
was brought to washington yesterday
by a New Yorker who is said to be a
close friend of J. Pierpont Morgan, the
great financier and trust organizer,
says the Washington correspondent to
the Cleveland Leader.
According to this man Mr.. Morgan
has determined to do his utmost to
defeat the nomination of President
Roosevelt in 1904. and, failing in that
purpose, will endeavor to bring about
the nomination of ex-President Cleve-
land by the Democratic national con-
vention. This is the way Mr.. Nor
gan is said to have expressed him
self;% crS.r.. 2. -
Roosevelt must be defeated for
nomination and a safe man chosen in
his stead. If he cannoti be defeated
then we must see that the Democrats
nominate safe man like Cleveland,
whom the business interests can sup
port and who can beat Roosevelt at the
pdhs." - .N ''.'' 'r.''

mot an enthusiastic supporter of Mr..
Roosevelt's political ambition is no new
thing, but that he is willing to go to
the extent of endeavoring to bring
about the election of a Democratic
president two years hence in order to
eliminate the president as a power in
national affairs has the element OF
novelty in 1t. Mr.. Morgan has not
liked the president ever since Mr..
Roosevelt directed that suit be begun
to dissolve the Northern Securities
company, which the New York finan-
cier, with the help of James J. Hull.
the st. Paul railway magnate, and
other wealthy men, organized last
winter The presidents unpopularity
with Mr.. Morgan was intensified when,
despite a warning from Wall street. he
discussed in his public addresses in
New England and since remedies for
existing trust evils. '.t

Secretary Lehman, of the Stark coun-

this years exhibit is the best in point

The society is carrying large in

st. Marys, O., Sept. %. - The third
week of the great Democratic tent
campaign was inauguraied most aus
piciously with a crowd of 1900 people
at ST. Marys last night.
Mayor Johnson had interviews with
whose term expires this fall and with
william Myers, who was elected last
iall and will succeed Orphal in few
weeks at Wapakoneta. both are DEM
ocrats. .... ... .f.
With Myers he had an interesting
conversation, propounding to him the
same questions that he has fired at all
other auditors along the way Myers
said that he was in favor of taxing
railroads in accordance with Mr.. John
when he was asked to promise not TO
ride on pass.
Mayor Johnson was warmly received
by the crowd. He began by talking
about Auglaize county auditors. lie
said he did not care much about Or
phal one way or another, but that he
was very much interested In Myers,
who was soon TO become auditor. He
said that Myers answers to his ques-
tions had been satisfactory and that
he believed them worthy of credence,
because Myers is not a candidate for
, Office. Myers was spared the embar-
rassment of q public confession of
faith.
Mayor Johnson then spoke of Chas.
kloeb of Mercer county, "the one good
anditor of the whole eighty-eight who
had done what he could to assist in
the fight for equal taxation. | con-
gratulate the people of Mercer county
who are present tonight in having for
an auditor man who is brave enough
and honest enough to do his duty"
said the speaker.
"The railroads of Ohio are saved S5,-
100000 year by eight-eight auditors
/ or $4554555 per auditor. And they
say that all they get in return for this
great service is pass. if that's true
they're mighty cheap lot of guys,
aren't they?"
" speaking of the misdolngs OF the
Republican leaders, Mr.. Johnson said:
"They are false leaders who hold
positions and trusts but to hetray the
people who elevated them. | believe
that Republicans will unite with DEM
ocrats in condemning the nisdeeds OF
these men. | have no fault to find
with any one for attending 10 private
business interests, but high state Of
ficials and United States senator's have
no right to use their position Tor their
own selfish interest and for the OBJ
tanning for themselves of such things
az perpetual franchises" s '"
Mr.. johnson closed by declaring
that "Ohio is in the advance of all the
world in this movement for justice
and good government. 1t ise but a
question of time, however. when what
we are advocating now will be ac-
ce2ted as the only possible scheme OF
politics the world over, and we may
look back with honorable pride to onr
part in the Inauguration of the new
regime "

PUNITIVE MEASURES PROCEED.
Will be Suspended Only When Bowen Can Give
Some Satisfactory Assurance.
CBy the. Associated Prcss.)

Washington d. c., Dee. 1S.-As under
stood here the blockade to be declared
by the allies against Venezuela on Sat
urday is TO be a war blockade" as con-
trasted with the 'peace blockade which
has been in operation since the trouble
with Venezuela assumed an acute stage.
Ordinarily legal blockade is preceded
by a declaration of war, but at times
this formality is dispensed with and
blockade maintained just as though war
had teen formally declared. To all in
tents and purposes war has existed and
such condition has been recognized by
the governments Of the allies. a formal
declaration that blockade has been es-
tablished will be sent to all the powers
and it will be recognized by the United
States government. Following the prac-
tce in such case this government Will
maintain an attitude of neutrality to-
wards the balligerents, which they prac-
tically become by the establishment OF
the war blockade, although whether a
Presidential proclamation announcing
our neutrality to the world viii be is
sued has not vet been decided. The
matter will como up for definite deter
mination very soon. Our government is
fully informed of the intention of the
allies in the movements they are MAX
ing IN the operations against Venezuela.
The notice about TO issue OF the
formal blockade of Venezuela ports IS
not understood here to mean that Minis
ter BoWens efforts to adjust the Ncne-
zuelan difficulties have failed. 1t was
conceived that the naval commanders Of
the allies were acting under explicit in
structions, which included the cStab-
lishment of Il blockade, and IL was not
expected that these instructions would
be suspended until the negotiations
through diplomatic channels bad assumed
a phase Indicative of final and satisIac-
tory adjustment As Minister Bowen
has only today been appealed TO- TO en-
dcayor to effect such an adjustment he
has had as yet no opportunity OF moving
forward in his negotia tons TO q point
where he might reasonably expect the
allied powers to cancel completely the
remainder Of their punitive program.
Therefore, it is TO be expected that the
threatened blockade Will DC duly e5tab-
lished next Saturday unless IN the mean
time Minister Bowen is able 10 olfer SUI
dcicnt assurances that the Venezuelan
government is ready TO meet the terms
of their utimatums ]. 1t can he stated
positively that these assurances WI not
incl1do direct guarantee by the United
efates of Venczuclas liabilities.

London, Dec. 1S.-It is not apparent
that anything definite has resulted from
today's Cabinet meeting with regard to
the transmission by the government of
the United States of Venezuelas request
for arbitration.
Charge d'Afaires White was in touch
with the Foreign Office throughout the
day. He transmitted a long dispatch to
the state Department al Washington,
but this communication is not believed
to contain anything in the nature of q
Anal decision. All negotiations are be-
ing conducted with extraordinary
secrecy but it is thought probable that
MIR. Whites dispatches to Washington
have conveyed inquiries from the British
government with regard to Secretary
Hays views as TO the possibility OF
Venezuela carrying out the awards of
arbitrator. The Associated Press is in
a position to say that Great Britain is
making strenuous efforts to induce the
United States TO guarantee Venezuela s
compliance with the findings of arbitra-
ton.
