President Roosevelt Does Not
Conceal Intense Desire To
See Hughes Elected
SCHEME SEEN in NEW LIGHT
Some Think Hearst Is Seeking to Gre
ate Impression That He and Roose-
welt Stand for the Same Policies -
Considerable Irritation Over the
Thought.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 19.--Thera
was talk here that President Roose-
welt might write letter to Charles
E. Hughes, the republican candidate
for governor OF New York, In which ne
would have some things to say about
William HSHearst and what he stands
forA
No information on the subject could
be obtained at the while house, where
by way of answer, tie suggestion Was
made with smile that II hardly was
necessary Tor the president TO speak
his mind about Hearst, as everybody
knew what he thought of Hughes OPP
ponent.
While President Roosevelt. from the
beginning of the campaign, never mas
given any thought to going on the
stump, his interest in the candidacy
of Hughes has been maLde known to all
those with whom he has talked about
the New York contest. lie is all the
more interested because he is q citi-
zen of New York and from the hrst
wanted Mr. Hughes selected as the re-
publican standard bearer. The presl-
dent has not hesitated to give his ad-
vice to those New York republicans
who have consulted him in regard 20
the conduct of the Hughes campaign
and in other ways he has shown no"
intense his desire is 10 see Hughes
elected.
SCI, Deep Scheme Of Hearst's.
The care with which Mr.. Hearst has
avoided any attack on the president
has not passed unnoticed at the white
house. Some OF those who are close
to Mr.. Roosevelt believe that by this
course Hearst Is seeking to create the
impression that Hearst and Roosevelt
stand for the same policies, and there
il considerable irrita ton over that
thought. The idea that President
Roosevelt indorses the preachings OF
Hearst or that their reform programs
are the same is extremely distasteful
to those who stand close to the presi-
dent and know his views on Hearst
and Hearstism.
Whether 1t will be regarded as adj
visable for the president to write q
letter to Hughes or anybody else re-
pudiating what Hearst stands for, de-
filming how widely apart their views
are on the subject OF reform, cannoE
at this time be stated, but 1t can be
said with marked emphasis the pres
sident would not for q moment tolerate
any open attempt to make the people
of New York believe that Hearst and
Roosevelt stand upon common ground
in the reform views which they hold
Roosevelt Considers Hearst Peril.
The president. it is understood
maintains certain policies which he
advocated were made necessary to
counterfeit the dangerous doctrines
preached by Hearst. Altho regarded as
radical, and not denying it, Mr.. Roose-
welt is represented as insisting that
the attempt on Hearst's part to engen-
der class hatred forced him (the pres
ident) to suggest that means Of put
ting a stop to the danger that Hes in
the propaganda of Hearst and his lieu
tenants.
The president regards his policies
Of governmental and corporate reform
as an antidote for the policies of
Hearst In some Of his recent speeches
Mr. Roosevelt has condemned those
who sought to incite the poor against
the rich. This, he believes, Hearst is
endeavoring to do fer the, purpose OF
furthering his own political ends.
