I'm political corruption schemes in
Pennsylvania, and now a defendant in
suits brought by the government to
recover timber and mineral lands in
the southwest. Is figure i'm the latest
developments respecting the schemes
Of the anti-administration political
leaders.
Several United States senator's are
also involved. Together they are re-
spOnsible for the concerted effort to
obscure the political situation by rails
ing the third-term cry.
Plots Purpose Obvious.
From Information received by mem
bers of the administration, Il is now
the purpose of the reactionary lead
ers to beat the administration by pre-
tended zeal in behalf of the presi-
dents denomination.
The purpose is obvious
Knowing that the president will not
accept a nomination. these men in
tend to keep their respective states
from considering any candidate pledg-
ed to carry out the policies of the
present administration by pledging
them to the president himself. The
whole scheme Is to take advantage of
the peculiar conditions of public senti-
ment at the present time to promote
reactionary interests.
Paradoxical as this Is, the feasible
ity of the plan Is not to be doubted.
Many earnest Americans are not yet
convinced that President Roosevelt
may not be persuaded in the end to

nomination. When finally satisfied.
as they no doubt will be, that the
president was in earnest when he de-
clared that he would not even consider
the proposition. they would naturally
turn to Secretary Taft as the man best
equipped and most certain TO carry on
the great work the president has
started.
Seek TO Control Delegates.
To prevent thas 1t is now the pur-
pose of the reactionaries to urge along |
the thrd-term movement Announc-
ing their loyalty to the president they !
win endeavor behind this mask to
conceal their real purpose
That purpose is to procure Roose- |
velt-instructed delegates of their own |
selection. Delegates thus chosen, il is |
figured can be turned to any can |
didate the reactionaries may center |
upon. If they were chosen by the |
people themselves they would un-
doubtedly. after finding that the |
president is deaf to all overtures look |
ing to third term. turn only to the |
candidate who could be relied upon
to continue the Roosevelt work.
But such delegates would be beyond |
control Of the politicians. The real
aim of every reactionary. every dis-
credited politician, every trust meg
nate fearful of an enforcement ofstie
laws, is to obtain a majority In the
convention that will be susceptible to
such influences as they can bring TO
bear upon them. So, as the country /
is unquestiOnably overwhelming in its
support Of the president. IL is believed
that the only way In which this sentl-
ment may be beaten Is In the manner
described.
Bull" Andrews comes into the
matter because the scheme is first to
he tried in the territory of New Mexico.
Andrews will himself be i'm charge of
the work, and he is the most blatant
of all the third-term shouters.
Andrews Can DO His Share.
Ii is only necessary to consider the
record OF Andrews 10 determine how
little in common there is between him
and the president. and how little such
a man can really want TO see the
president elected again.
But as a pretended Roosevelt man.
Andrews can probably name the dele
gates from his territory. and the men
he names can in the very nature of
things be relied upon 10 vote as An
drews tells them TO.
In states where the Roosevelt senti-
ment Is strong, and the people are not
particular how the delegates are chos-
en, provided only they declare them-
selves for Roosevelt the scheme is ex-
pected TO work as smoothly as in New
Mexico.
To aid It. however. the five mil
lion dollar conspiracy fund" is TO be
used.
This Is but an outline Of the infor-
nation which the administration is re-
ceiving. and In few days there will
probably be made public the names OF
those most prominent in the pretend
ed effort to nominate Roosevelt
against his will
