are hejng expended to discredit President
,-slt and more especially the policies for
si.b he stands. is the conviction of some Of
.,asat friends of the administration. In his
hometown speech, delivered last August, the
,-osisent very clearly hinted at disposition
a. mart OF certain men influential in business
.Ir,las TO utilize the stock market to discredit

'-,e of money were contributed il is said. with
,so T,,rpose Of defeating Republican candidates
.r-ns wholly out of proportion 10 the impor-
,a of the offices at stake--snd the friends OF
,ha administration believe that these campaign
,,,-ibutions were part OF Z concerted move

goosevelt stands.
The latest development in this concerted move
,rent. according TO the friends of the admins
,rarson consists OF the widely distributed quar-
Ger mage advertisement entitled Theodore
pooserelt-Destroyer.'' which has appeared in
she newspaper from one end of the country to

tended 10 promote the sale Of a more or less
ohscure magazine. but friends Of the admins

Roosevelt-Destroyer' advertisement is being
circulated. the suddenly swollen bank accounts

certain interests to prevent the continuance OF
the policies for which the President has stood
