DESIRE TO GIVE ROOSE-
WELT ROPE ENOUGH
Opposition Hoping That the
President Will Throw
Himself

Washington, D. c., June 17.-Fol
lowing the total collapse OF the move
ment within the Republican party to
prevent the nomination of President
Roosevelt next year, some of the Sc
crets of the conspirators are coming
to light. II is said to be fact by
those who are in position to know
that tie scheme to defeat the presi-
dent was more widespread than sur
face indications at any time suggest
ed In fact the nucleus OF revolt
was organized in nearly all of the
northern Republican states, just as
II was in some OF the states of the
south. and the hast available men in
these states we're put III charge Of It.
In the south the truth came out pre-
maturely. through the inability of Re
publican leaders there. on account Of
factional differences. to keep their
own counsel; but in the north this
was not the case. Directed from
Wall street. this movement in the
north at one time promised to be
very formidable, and only the activity
Of the president. aided by the conf
dence reposed in him by the masses
of the people, prevented il from com
ing to a head.
Wall street is now saying, with con
descension. that It does not propose
TO put anything in his way either in
the convention OF at the polls. Give
him enough rope and he will hang
himself, say its leading spirits. Let
Roosevelt run the national conven-
ton, write the platform. name the
candidate for vice president, and be-
come personally responsible for the
conduct of the campaign Then, if a
mistake is made. the country will
know where to look for the guilty
one.
The complaisance Of the opposition
in concluding to let the president have
a nomination and election, and full
charge of party Leadership, without
further opposition. is one Of the
humors of the oncoming presidential
campaign
