SUPPORT FOR WHITE
PROSPECTS OF A POPULAR MOVE
MENT GROWING BRIGHTER.

ST. PETERSBURG. November 1s.-The
prospects of popular support being given
the government of Count White are daily
growing brighter. and many prominent and
Influential men among the zemstvoists who
are now assembling at Moscow are calling
themselves the law and order party.
A dispatch from Kieff reports the organi-
zation of strong groups of party in all the
cities of southwestern Russia to put into
execution the principles of the emperor's
manifesto of October 80. and of peace
society forming with similar aims in west
and central Russia. with headquarters at
Vitehsk.
This apparent awakening OF the promi-
nent and influential section of society to
the necessity of the abandonment of hos
tility TO participation in the constructive
work of the government II anarchy Is to
be averted, will not only strengthen Count
Whites hands immensely in the task be-
fore him, but also will disarm the criticisms
of men close to the emperor who are en-
deavoring to discredt the new premier,
arguing that he committed fatal mistake
and weakened the position of the govern
p1ent and the emperor by seeking to nego-
tiate with the zemstvoists and other leaders
among the liberals.

BOSTON, Mass. November 1s-Repre-
sentative Mccall, DR.. Samuel Everett and
Gamaliel Bradford caused a sensation to-
day at the meeting of the Massachusetts
Reform Club, when they jointed in declar-
ing that President Roosevelt's power must
be curbed and that his position Is Identical
with that of Louis Napoleon at the close
Of the French revolution Of 1848. Mr.. Nc
Call scored the present attitude OF legisla-
tive bodies toward the President.
II don't believe in the concentration OF
power that has been going on in this coun-
try for the last few years." he said.
"Despotism follows anahcy, and that Is
why the whole country simply falls down
and worships Roosevelt. The people are
simply tired OF anarchy and are ready to
worship a man who will do something.
The real danger IN Roosevelt is his dis
regard Of law and the constitutional limita-
lions. What he thinks is right Is right
with him. A member OF Congress can have
no better title for reelection than to have
1t said that he fought usurpation of power.

WAR ON IN NEW YORK
PLATT AND oDELL FACTIONS
TToHTINa FOR CONTROL.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 1s-There are
larger. more important and more decorative
objects than the scalp Of William Haipin
involved in the struggle now going on be-
tween the Piatt and Odell- factions for the
control Of the republican committee of the
county Of New York. no matter which side
lie correct as to the animating motives for
the political contest.
One of Piatt's lieutenants said today:
1.-THE issue involved is SO plain that any
one who runs ought to be able to read.
Whether or not President Roosevelt recon-
siders his intention not to run again for the
presidency he certainly wants to be in
position to name the republican nominee In
1905 If he is to do that it is essential that
he should be able to control the New YORK
state republican organization. He has never
got on we'll with Odell and does not trust
him politically.
UNLESS the President and his friends are
in a position to name the next republican
candidate for governor Odell will remain the
state leader and will control the delegation
to the next republican national convention
Republicans May Lose State.
"Platt convinced the President that the
scandal affecting Odeh, growing out of the
insurance investigation. threatens the loss
of the state to the republicans. and sug-
gested that the present was good time 10
destroy Odel's power and make sure or
state administrat ton that would be frienoly
to the President, and through the power OF
the state administration put Mr.. Roosevefts
friends in control of the delegation from
New York to the republican national con-
vention Of 1905"
Representative Olcott, who wants to sue
coed Halpin, OdelPs man for president OF
the county committee. was asked today II
the denial from Washington Of his can
didacy had been inspired from the White
House Mr.. Olcott said he had no state
ment to make on the subject, but ne $1,000
by the statement he gave out In announcing
his Candidacy. In that statement Mr.. Oh
colt said that the requests which had come
to him to become a candidate for the pTesi-
dency of the committee had come from
republicans so high in the esteem Of the
party and the people that he did not feel
it right to set up his personal preferences
against their Judgment. The statement,
taken in connection with Senator Platts
declaration that the President favored Mr..
Olcott's selection, created the impression IN
the minds of republican politicians gener-
ally that the President was the power be-
hind the movement for the Reorganization
of the county committee.
