President Has Doubts Con
corning Some People.
Thinks Plans Are Laid to
Defeat His Policies,
4 Combination Which Will Receive
Its Own Reward!

Washington. April At was aid on
authority at the White House today
that there is ample evidence at hand
for the claim the President holds that
there is n movement afoot to defeat his
policies in the next Congress and in
the next national convention. It is de-
clared that the Hearst Hartman
Rockefeller combination has already
fund of s5.000,00o with which to carry
on its campaign in opposition to the
President. 1t was further authority e.
ly said:
They are gathering up The loose
ends, but the movement will flatten
out. 1t is apparent in Ohio and Penn
sylvania. in fact it extends across the
entire continent. The scheme was
thoroughly divulged at a recent dinner
and reached the White House through
Il friend of the President The scheme.
of the people behind the movement Is
TO buy newspapers. public men ant
others who may assist the opponents
Of the President in their work"
1t was also stated authoritativcly at
the White House today that part of
the plan to encompass the defeat of
the Presidents policy is the election
of state delegations to the national
convention from those states known
to favor the President these delegates
to be instructed for President ROoSe-
Welt Notwithstanding their knowing
advance that the President would not
be a candidate for denomination.
Then, according to the statement
made these delegates, upon the Presi-
dent declining to be candidate for
denomination as he has said he would
decline. the delegates are to consider
themselves free and are to be switch
ed over to some opponents of the
President and the politics for which
he is standing.

Eagles Entertain.

Clifton Aerie No. 1890, Fraternal Order of Eagles celebrated Thanks giving by giving a grand ball and supper, to which more than one hun- dred guests were invited. Every ef- fort was made to entertain the guests to the fullest extent and if re- ports amount to anything they cer- tainly accomplished their purpose. Various attentive committees were appointed who filled their stations to the letter and gave the Backstein- Neubauer Casino hall, by the installa- tion of decorations, the appearance of a palace. The hall was taxed to it's full capacity when Brittingham's orchestra introduced one of the latest marches in the musical calen- dar. Dancing continued throughout the evening. and many of the guests remained until the small hours of the next day. Delicate refreshments were served during the latter part of the evening and continued until everyone present had feasted to their hearts desire. As entertainers the Eagles have set a new pace in the social circle of Clifton.
