 lA weighing inc probabilities, II i- GYst necessary ,p srht the motive. It certninly exists Five miIliop dollars wSUjd be comparatively q sGYii snh ts pay for thosc interested is electins a sea'Rooseveit president. Mr. Rocke. f0isr could we'll afford to contribute tbs whole amount hi,uself Nor would sucA a course on his part be .t all for. siys 10 his practice for years. Harri. rsap. who told Congrcsss,an aherman HAst ho could buy tho Hcarstites, buy legialaturcs. judges, and even Congress 1Seaf, aas many millions at stakc. lie cso)d raise The whole S5.00O08o in ten niaatcs. among his friends. for such . Parposc.
 But vherr does Hearst come iss The explanation is not diHleult 10 find. It always hns been che custom of tue ''intesests" to contribute 10 the can. RAgA funds of tho Dnmocra,ic. 0s we'll ~ of the Republican party, whenever Tt seemed worth while. And Demo. csstic committees, no less than Repub. Nsas eousmittecs, hAvo held out 2 will. 0G pAlsl. AS a matter of fact, iu all Shese disclosures as 70 campaign funds, ue Republican committee is the oniy ose actually shown to have refused 'Astaiu protYescd contributions. Tho 4arrimans and the Roekcfcilers care not about tho name of the party, or it's candidates, but thoy want to have e good stout string on the successful ono ,whiehcvcr 1t. or he, may be- Their ssring on Roosevelt proved to be xossamcr thread, that existed only in their own imaginations.
 Next time, thcy intend to have a different sort of president. They do not want Roosevelt, nor n Roosevelt man, to be named by the Republicans. 1 And, recognizing the possibility of Democratic success, they intend, if possible. to prevent tho nomination of l Bryan, or of any man like Bryan, who would continue Rooscvclt's policy. So they turn to Hearst, as their Demo. cratic ally, not to aid Hearst in obtain. ing the nomination himself, but to enlist Hearst support in defeating Bryan for tho nomination, and getting an "aceptablo" candidate, with whom hey will feel safe. Tho recently. started press bureau campaign, dccry. ng Bryan, and booming Judge Gray md Judge Harmon, evidently is n part if tho plot.
 That Hearst dislikes Bryan, and would be delighted with an opportunity O knife him, there is no manner of Ioubt, When Bryan returned from his rip around the world, Hearst and his icutenants refused to join in the vol. omc given him. Tho Hearst papers ractically ignored his existence. Iearrt would rather see the dcvr, him. eff, elected president, than Bryan.
