Issued a statement declaring in Ian
guage in which there was nc equivcca-
ton, that he would not be a candidate
In 1908 Not a word has been uttered
by him since that time Incompatible
with that declaration. On the contrary
he has reaffirmed his statement
But there Is already an emphatic
demand on the part of Republicans in
all sections of the country that he ac-
cept next years nomination. And this
demand Is echoed by thousands of
Democrats. 1t is argued that he is In
reality now serving his first term, that
he merely filed a vacancy caused by
the death OF Mckinley, and that as he
has been elected but once he is entitled
10 another term
The argument Is also made that Mr.
Roosevelt has iraugurSted certain pol
icies which he alone can carry out, and
that in conjunction with these policies
are others which doveta.l in as a mat
ter OF course. and that he must be re
turned In order that these plans may
not be side-tracked.
There are also those who insist that
while Mr.. Roosevelt is in earnest in
his intention not to be a candidate, that
it is matter for the party and not the
President to decide, and that If the
convention again makes him the nom
inee, he cannot, and will not, decline
the call to duty. 1t is plain that tine
pressure for his denomination. already
strong, will become more so during the
winter and spring.

but although he had a lead of 2,4OO

1t is time to han il understood that
the creation of nNhopolistic combina-

existence of opportunities to engross

it is languishing. For a clear under

ScHMITz WANTS A NEW JUDGE
Makes Sensational Allegations
Against Judge Dunno and
Rudolph spreckels.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 19-District
Attorney Langdon was last night served
by Mayor Schmitz-s attorneys, Metson,
Campbell & Drew and John ]. Barrett and
C. II. Fairall with notices of a motion
for substitution of trial judge on the
ground that Judge Frank II. Dunno is
disqualified by bias and prejudice. Ac-
companying and supporting this motion Is
a lengthy affidavit by schmitz, in which
charges of an extremely sensational ma
ture are made against Rudolph spreckels,
his associates in the bribery graft persecu-
ton, and Judge Dunno himself.
Among Schmitz's allegations are the fol-
lowing
That Mr.. Snreckels and his associates
who are, with him. the financial guaran-
tors of the bribery-graft investigation and
prosecution, long since exhausted the
original fund OF 100000 pledged by
Spreckels and have expended nearly $1,000
900 In a municipal publication campaign;
that the expenditure Of this vast sum OF
money is by way of an investment, from
which actual moneyed returns are ex-
pected; that Spreckels and his prosecuting
associates desire and purpose to overthrow
the present municipal administration In or
der that they themselves may assume the
reins of government and secure for them
selves street railway and water franchises
which will net them millions of dollars
of the public money; that Judge Dunno
Is aware of this intent and purpose and Is
Herewith in accord; that the conviction OF
Schmitz is desired as means to these
ends. and that IL is the wish Of Judge
Dunno that a biased and prejudiced jury
be selected to secure such conviction; that
for many and various reasons the same
as set forth recently by Abraham Ruef'
in his application for a substitute for trial
fudge, Il is impossible for schmtz to have
a fair and Impartial trial at Judge Dunnes
hands.
The committee of seven business men TO
whom Mayor schmitz has given full power

about in municipal affairs by the develop
ments in the graft investigation will meet
tomorrow. An invitation has been ex-
tended to a number of labor leaders to be
present with suggestions. The committee
has issued a declaration OF principles In
which II says:
We intend TO bring about clean condi-

KANSAS CITY, May 1e-Govenor Jo-
seph w. Folk left for Jefferson City today
after a conference with the local police
lasted until / o'clock this morning and
early today he continued conferring with
persons from different walks Of life who
made him acquainted with various phases
OF police corruption. Among HIS callers
were policemen and police detectives, who
are said to have laid bare numerous is~
regularities, evidently in the hope OF gain
ing immunity for themselves.
Governor Folks Investigations have ap-
parently convinced him that there is a
very strong alliance existing between the
Metropolitan Street Railway company and
the police force. A high oficial OF the
police department is authority for the
statement that within two years this al
legged alliance has been encouraged by the
heads OF the department. Mayor Boards
ley has repeatedly charged that policemen
have been oveTzealous in serving the street
car company when passengers have been
injured in accidents. II was charged that
instead Of taking steps promptly TO relieve
the sunerings Of the injured, policemen have
frequently waited to notify the claim agents
OF the company and In other ways have
aided the company to fortlfy itself against
damage suits.
