SHOWS HIS HAND AT LAST.
That adroit politician, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has made an
other move in the great game
which he hopes will result in
his denomination and election
to the presidency again next
year, say N. D. Records. A
vast conspiracy has been dis
covered by his friends by
means of which an immense
corruption fund has been raised
and will be used to defeat his
denomination or the nomination
of a Roosevelt republican, and
this conspiracy includes, be-
sides practically all Of the very
rich men of the country, radi-
cal democrats like William r.
Hearst. The first political
move by the president after his
election in 1904 was to make
the announcement that he
would not be a candidate for
reelection. The announce
ment has been repeated at re-
gular intervals by certain of his
friends, while other powerful
adh=rents have steadily de-
manded his denomination. The
time is now arriving when the
mask must be thrown aside
and our strenuous chief execu-
tive will yield to the popular
outcry-made by federal Office
holders--and the great con-
spiracy is expected to fall-and
he will be triumphantly re.
nominated. The dragging of
Hearst's name into the scheme
was intended to result IN weak
ening this great democrats
strength with the people, /and
had tine risk not been too great
it is quite probable that Viii
liam J. Bryan would also have
been named as one of the con-
spirators.
There is surplus of SOL ,O0O,.
600 in the U. S. Treasury, but
this stupendous wad differs
from the republican campaign
fund of 1904 in that George b.
Cortelyou is not at a loss to
