TIE CABINET IN
1RE CAMPAIGN
Roosevelt's Advisers Will Sup
port Him Loyalty For Presi-
dency In 1904
WILL USE BEST INFLUENCE
effectiveness Not Likely to Be in the
Number of Speeches. But in the PIac-
ino Of Them at Critical Periods
RooseveEt Not Likely to Make Many
Campaign Speeches.

Washington, Oct members OF the
cabinet will support President Roose-
welt most Loyalty and diligently on the
stump in the 1904 campaign. They are
seeking, however, to learn how they
may best employ their influence in his
support.
One cabinet member has expressed
the belief that it Is somewhat undigni-
ned for members Of the presidents Of
ficirl family to make speeches indis-
crininRtely thruout the country on
various subjects. He believes the most
effective work can be done If the ut
teranoes of cabinet ministers are few,
but OF such careful preparation and
such opportune delivery that they will
be veritable bombshells IN the enemy S
camp. It Is suggested that every cabi :
net minister make three or -four
speeches during the campaign and that
he shall not depart far from those sub
jects In which he officially deals as
head Of government department.
Under such plan Secretary Hay
would deliver two or three speeches
dealing with foreign affairs, on which
he Is naturally more competent to
speak than any other member OF the
cabinet. One OF these speeches could
be delivered to advantage at repub-
lican mass meeting in New York. while
another could be delivered to the peo-
pie OF the west from Chicago or some
other city OF that region.
Secretary Shaw would deal with the
questions of finance which promise to
be SO important an issue and might
easily delve into the tariff problem.
There doubtless will be general cali
for Secretary Shaw's services In var
ious parts of the country. and inasmuch
as he has been more active as stump
speaker than his colleagues in the cab
inet, It is likely that he will deliver
more addresses next year.
Secretary Wilson, on account of his
popularity with the farmers. will be
much called upon, but his voice Is not
now as strong as it once was and on
this account he may be obliged to cur
tail his engagements.
At least two or three rousing and
comprehensive statements on the navy
may be expected from Secretary
Moody. Secretary Root will leave the
cabinet IN January, but doubtless will
be heard at important junctures of the
campaign. Judge Taft, who will sue
ceed him :ls secretary Of war; is an ora-
tor of no mean ability. Secretary Cor
teiycu has little experience as a speech
maker, but will probably make his de-
but on the stump next year.
Postmaster General Payne, as vice
chairman Of the national committee.
will be more active in party manage
ment than in the field. Attorney Cen
eral Knox will be to the fore as an ex-
ponent OF the administrations anti
trust policy.
When all the members of the cabinet
return to Washington President Roose-
welt will doubtless discuss with them all
and particularly with Mr.. Payne. as to
the disposition of their services in his
behalf. The president himself Is not
expected to take the field.

other lines. a member of the com
mittee asserted yesterday thai
he has positive proof that sey-
cral teachers in the public
schools have been forced TO pay from
Slo to $50 before being guaranteed ap-
pointmeHts. Other teachers upon max
ing application for recollection had, 1t Is
said. been solicited for money in con-
stderation of getting guarantee that
they would receive the votes of certain
members OF the board.
Charges also ahve been made that
there have been irregularities in the
granting of contracts for supplying the
schools with coal, and in the purchase
of school furniture. A committee has
been appointed to investigate the
charges. Clerk Jones denied yesterday
that he would resign, and says he is
ready for an investigation.
