take shape and form on that occasion.

not materialize for the very good reas-

denied that the anti-Roosevelt cam

ance before the legislature.
The men who are responsible for en-

are pursuing a definite and consistent
policy. They do not attempt to focus
public attention on one particular man
as rival of the president. They conten-
themselves with efforts TO arouse in
the public mind the question OF MI

Men in Washington who are in touch

would not answer MIR. Roosevelt's de-
scription. Conservative republicans do
not believe Mr.. Hanna will go that far.
President Roosevelt's friends in con-
gress are somewhat disturbed at the
extent Of the anti-Roosevelt propagan-
da. A literary bureau has been estab-
lished in Indianapolis which Is sending
out literature inimical to the presi-
dents denomination. 1t Is limited TIA
another bureau is soon to be located
in Chicago TO pursue the same work.
Somebody Is supplying funds for post
age and printing for the dlssemina-
tion OF this literature on a large scale.
Eastern papers yesterday carried dis
patches from Kansas City stating that
Richard Kerens, leader of one faction
of Missouri republicans, is conducting
a bitter campaign against Roosevelts
denomination Mr.. Kerens is said to
predict that Senator Hanna will be
candidate.
Senator Hanna has warned In the
past other republicans of the danger 20
the party of attempting to defeat Mr..
Roosevelt's denomination with Wall
street influence.
Taft's Name Mentioned.
Many republicans who really would
prefer some other candidate to Roose-
Welt have taken this admonition TO
heart. 1t has led to their casting about
for u candidate who would not be SUE
ceptible to the charge of corporation
domination and who might be popular
with the masses.
If Governor Taft OF the Philippines |
We're not coming home to accept a |
place In Mr.. Roosevelts cabinet, there
is little doubt that his name would be
heard frequently on the lips of repub-
licans who would like to see a candi
date other than Roosevelt nominate l. |
Governor Tafts friends declare that |
he has no presidential aspiratio al
this time. They vehemently insist that
he would not countenance for mo-
ment the use of his name as a possible
rival of the president while he sat
around Mr.. Roosevelt's executive
board
For the present therefore, there will
be no mention of names by the anti
faction. They will continue
to increase their efforts to incite re-
publicans to question Mr. Roosevelt's
ability TO carry his own state of New

This Is construed to mean
that Senator Quay virtually would be
in charge of the next campaign. and
serves notice that Quay has not ceased
to be hostile to Hanna.
Domestic Troubles.
1t is exceptional to find a family
where there are no domestic ruptures
but these can be lessened
by having DR.. Kings New Life Pills
around. Much trouble they save by
their great work in stomach and liver
