Theory That He Is Trying to
Align Wall Street Against
Roosevelt Discussed
GERMAN AS HIS PRoTEeE
In Some Quarters 1t Is Believed the
Trust Masnate Is Back of the Effort
to Nominate German for the Presi
dency at the Next National Demo
cratic Convention.

Washington Oct. Ex-senator Cor
man has identified President Roosevelt
with the Maryland campaign and the
president is now watching that cam
paign with more than ordinary inter-
est. Yesterday he was given one ofMr
Gornan's campaign buttons, which
Booker r. Washington, dining to-
gether. Mr.. Roosevelt does not object
gized for treating Booker I. Washing
ION as man and a citizen.
The president and some members OF
the cabinet have also read Senator Cor
mans speech of last Saturday, in which
ne arraigned Mr.. Roosevelt on two
counts-one of dining with Booker 7
Washington. and the other of going be-
yond his constitutional power in the
settlement of the coal strike. 1t is
regarded as significant that Senator
German has taken UP the fight of the
Wall street promoters on exactly the
lines mapped out by them year ago
when they threatened the presiden'
with defeat, for his attack on the rail
way merger and his interference with
The coal barons. when they began te
revive Cleveland as a candidate.
1t looks to the presidents advisers
IS if Senator German were trying to
neck the boom of Cleveland and cap
5ure his following. and also the line OF
(, fnr n "a
Wall street promoters.
Mr. Cleveland gave the keynote to
ne Wall street campaign last winter
when he advised the north to keep its
lands off the negro question. and leave
this question entirely to the southern
states without regard to federal law
or amendments to the constitution.
Mr.. Cleveland had always been a fay-
.rste with the trust promoters, and he
suggested the way to make his homi-
nation possible by an appeal to the
olid south and a defense of southern
Methods OF DISTINGUISHING the negro.
AS Mr. Roosevelt looks at it, the fight
f German is against CLEVELAND, and
ne president is only assailed to show
hat German is more loyal to the trusts
md TO the South than is Mr.. Cleveland.
Morgan's Position.
Senator German has almost revealed
he hand of ]. Pierpont Morgan in his
.ttack on the president and Mr. Roose-
elt's friends are much interested as to
whether Mr.. Morgan is behind the Cor
nan presidential candidacy Senator
;orrnan was the democrat who planned

anced southern railroads that the re-
lection of Harrison, With his advocacy
IF the Lodge force bill. would bank
upt every railroad in the south. That
hreat had it's effect on the timid capt.
alists of New York, and Grover Cieve-
aud was elected president.
]. Pierpont Morgan and his associ-
ates in Wall street are now in absolute
.ontro! of every southern railroad of
my consequence. and Mr. German is
aagin bringing out the ghost of negro
domination. To the presidents friends
ii looks like an alliance between Sen
ator German and Mr.. Morgan. and as
if Mr.. Cleveland had only been used as
the angel to rally the two great wings
Of the old Cleveland democracy. the
trusts and the negro haters.
Cleveland as Dummy.
Mr. German is more acceptable to the
south than is Mr.. Cleveland. but 1T was
necessary to revive the hope of the old
Cleveland following in the east by us
ing his name in the beginning. 1t IS
doubted il Mr.. German would have re-
veaIed his hand at this time but for
the necessity for carrying the state
next Tuesday to retain his leadership
of the democratic party in the senate.
