PRESIDENT WILL HAVE
TAFT AND NONE ELSE
Lodge and Foraker to Run the Re-
publican Machine.

The mention OF the name OF Bristow OF
Kansas as a candidate for Vice Presi-
dent is laughed at by Ohio politicians
OF the anti Hanna stripe who say the
slate was long ago made up and will
not be changed unless there is q popu-
lar upheaval so unmanageable that Bris-
tow is absolutely inevitable and IN
avoidable. These ohio prophets claim
that the man for second place on the
Republican ticket Is Taft. and that the
President wants him and no one else.
The claim for Taft is his high char
acter, good service. freedom from un-
clean political alliances, and the fact
that he has been out Of the country
four or five years. But more than that
is the consideration that he is the
choice Of Senator Lodge, who Is In train
ing 20 act for President Roosevelt in
the next national convention as Senator
Hanna did for President Mckinley in the
two previous conventions.
In this task the Massachusetts Sena-
tor already has as lieutenant Senator
Foraker. He is to be held responsible
for tho Middle West. which is always
so powerful in conventions, whatever it
may happen TO do at the election fol-
lowing.
II this scheme should 90 through. t.
would mean the elimination OF Senator
Hanna and the Hanna element from ma
uonal and Ohio politics as a force TO be
reckoned with. 1t is understood that
this is one OF the things which Foraker
is aiming at. For that reason the pre-
sentation Of TAFT by an Ohio delegation
is not 10 be looked upon as a certainty.
The Lodge Foraker combination would
have a hard time cutting the ground
from under Senator Hanna feet.
There has been talk OF Taft for chief
justice OF the Supreme Court. That Is
a stream to cross when II is reached.
Chief Justice Fuller may not retire foc
year OF two.

INDICTMENT LIKELY
IN briggs CASE TODAY

NEW YORK, June 2O.-At today's
session Of the Federal grand jury,
in Brooklyn, It is expected that
the briggs case will be finished.
Indictments, followed by arrests. are
expected today or tomorrow. There are
several new witnesses who will testify
today, and who have already told their
stories TO the Washington officials. De-
spite Mr.. briggs emphatic statement
that he never split with anyone the
$12, 500 paid TO him by the Brandt-Dent
Company for selling two hundred and
fifty OF its automatic cashiers to the
Postofice Department, there are persist
ent reports that the testimony of these
new witnesses will show not only a
split" but where the money went
The prevailing opinion now seems 10
be that there has been an organization
for wholesale plumber in the postal sys-
TEN, branches OF which were the pro
motion syndicate" with its local rami
ications, and those who handled the
mailbox cases. The playing OF favor
ties in the giving out Of lucrative jobs,
sometimes without reference to civil
service requirements. has been thor
ouhgly shown up here and al Washing
ton.
Another charge that has been made IS
that there has been a connection be-
tween local politics and the local post
Office. Men could get places and hold
them only by belonging 10 the right
clubs" and supporting them, il is al
legged The collection OF district leaders
which haunted the postofhce when the
local investigation began was remark
able. Postmaster Van Colt is the power
in the Lincoln Republican Club, and il IA
asserted that in this club was collected
campaign fund from postal clerks.
Yesterday Mr.. Van Colt characterized
this statement as ridiculous Many
postodice clerks. he knew. were mem
/ bcrs OF this club. and as such. paid
dues. but 10 say that they were forced
/ 20 join the club because they were en-
pioyes Of the postoice. or to contrib

sense Nearly all the clerks and car
riers employed IN the postodice be-
long 20 some political or social asso-
| citation. he supposed. and that they
contributed TO keep it up was also
probable, but that the members of tho
Lincoln Club were compelled to con-

SUPPOSED DEAD MAN
PROVES MUCH ALIVE
Greenberg Objects to Scrutiny of
New York Coroner.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Simon Green
be-s, of 1414 Second Avenue, was brought
TO his home last evening by two
strangers. who said that had found him
on Second Avenue.
Greenberg was suffering with a num-
Der Of bruises. and before Iapsing into
Inconsistencies told his family that,
owing to his nearsightedness, he had
mistaken a restaurant for friend s
glazing shop. When he entered the res
taurant he was set upon by four men,
who threw him out. thinking he was a
Deggar. He gave the names OF the four
men who, he said, had assaulted him.
Later Greenberg ceased 10 breathe
end four doctors who had been called
pronounced him dead. The matter was
reported TO the police and the men
named by Greenberg were placed under
arrest. Tho coroner was also informed
Coroner Jackson visited the house this

autopsy. The body was laid out IN the
parlor and was covered by a sheet
When the coroner removed the sheet the

Postmaster General Payne's daily
announcements to tho press have been
stopped by order OF President Roose-
welt. who Will hereafter give out at the
White House such information as he
desires to have made public concerning
the postoflce investigation.
Since the Presidents return from his
Pacific Coast trip there have been
fewer regular conferences between the
Postmaster General and the newspaper
correspondents of Washington. These
meetings. before that date held daily.
have become in the past week note
worthy because OF their absence and
have now been discontinued altogether
by order Of the President.
This present state Of affairs fully cor
roborates the statements made in The
Sunday Times on June :. when it was an
nounced that the President had deter
mined to take into his own hands the
actual charge of the Postofice investi-
cation. As then said. Postmaster Cen
eral Payne's part in the plan was to
continue nominally in charge, but de-
spite all appearances there has been 10
doubt in the least that since the Cabinet
meeting OF June the President has
been the directing head of the investi-
cation. This is now oficially admitted
and eorroPorated by the decision TO give
ont news only at the White House.
It is known that the President has no
intention OF discrediting Mr.. Payne's
work and putting the seal of condemna-
ton on his administration of the Post
Office Department by intimating HIS Cab
met officers resignation would be &C
ceptable.

ShOOI FACES FIGHT
FOR SEAT IN SENATE
Report That Democrats May
SOlidly Oppose Him.
FEELING DEVELOPED RECENT
Suspicion That There Has Been a Deal
Between Republicans and
MoInors in Utah

The Senate Committee on Elections is
not permitted to forget the fact that q
fight is to be made on Senator Smoot
CT Utah next session. Numerous let
ters and circumstances are coming 20
the committee from all parts OF the
country. and there is every evidence Of {
tidal wave Of opposition from the re-
ligious people such as engulfed and
overwhelmed Brigham II. Roberts when
H. essayed to take his seat in the
House. All this opposition is carefully
guarded from publicity, and filed away
In the pigeonholes of the desk of Sen
ator Burrows. the chairman of the com
mittee. who will not say what view he or
any other member Of the committee will
take of the case.
Up to a few weeks ago there was little
political color in the views of the mem
bers OF the committee as TO Smoot. The
Democrats were as likely to be his
friends as the Republicans. II is said,
however. that suspicion of a deal le-
tween the Republicans of Utah and the
Mormon Church has been confirmed in
hlOit ways AAldA Outs anu tAANA z - 4if-A ,
to be political phase of the case that
will imperil Shoots chances Of staying
in the Senate. 1t is also known that
there has been most energetic work on
the part OF a few well-informed and
practical men in Utah TO get proof mat
Smoot is now and has been for years a
polygamist.
The Democrats on the committee be-
lieve Utah should be a Democratic
State. and say that through the skillful
manipulations Of Senator Kearns snd
Perry Heath the Mormon leaders were
persuaded to come over into the Repub-
lican fold, and when they got there dis
appointed their new-found friends by
demanding and taking a SenatorshiD
when they were not expected 10 get hat
far until after several years Of pro-
baton.
The Democrats point TO the fact that
in 1896 Utah cast ca 900 votes for Bryan
against 1900 for Mckinley. but in 1900
after the alleged deal. the State gave
Mckinley AZ 600 against $4,000 for Bryan
This comparison. together with infor-
nation that has come into their posses
sion since the adjournment of Congress
as to the details of the matter. salts
fes them that there actually was a deal
and that the State is essentially Demo
cratic under ordinary circumstances.
Irrigation sentiment and Rough
Rider admiration for Roosevelt, they
claim, would not account for the vlo-
lent reversal of politics in Utah in four
years.
1t is now limited that IL Kearns and
Heath can be disaffected by the results
OF the Postofice investigation and the
handling of the Smoot case by the
Democrats In the Senate is properly
managed under the direction of Mr.
German. Utah with her three electoral
votes can be taken out of the Republi-
can column and put back where she
had been additionally up to 1900.
