NO STUMP SPEECHES

Loeb Wildly Denies Stories
About President.

Oyster Bay. n. Y. July u.-"President
Roosevelt will not take the stump FOR
Mr.. Taft this fall! Under no circum-
stances. Under no conditions. This is
f-l-n-a-l!"
Secretary Loeb spoke this evening He
emphasized. Also he gestured indicating
poovishness. But, without nominating
Loeb Tor the Ananias Club. II can be said
that on previous occasions he has spoken,
emphasized and gestured-and stin been
wrong
The fact is that just now President
Roosevelt is the star attraction Of the
political vaudeville billed for the coming
fall season. Scarcely a day passes but
what the report crops up that the Pcesi-
dent will take the stump. Not a day
passes but what the question is shot at
Loeb.
Chief Of the reasons advanced to ex-
plain why the President viii not wade
into the scrap is that it is against all
precedent
Eight years Of Rooseveltisn administra-
tion prove that no flimsier reason could
be advanced. A boom in Bryan stock, a
misstep or a political tumble by Taft,
and the Roosevelt special train will be
flying TO the point OF danger within
twenty-four hours, is the prediction OF the
old heads
There is little doubt but that several
critical situations will develop in several
pivotal States. Should these situations
threaten to go against Taft. It is pre-
dicted that the President will demonstrate
the same veneration for precedent that
he would bestow on a last years birds
nest.
A college meeting, an unveiling, or any
thing in the line OF public meetings will
always be found sufficient 10 win an in
vitation for the Chief Executive 20 speak.
Acceptance will be easy. and theni Watch
the opposition fur ny.

TOM LAWSON PLEDGES MONEY
Thinks Bryan Can Be Elected, and
Will Work for Ticket.
Promises Campaign Funds - Says
Wall Street Gives S2.0OO,OOO
10 Republican Nominee.

Boston. July 1l.-Tom Lawson now be-
lieves that as a result Of Bryan's aban-
donment OF the free silver and municipal
ownership ideas. the election Of the COM
moner is row a possibility.
This belief of the Boston financier is
directly contrary TO that which he ex-
pressed prior to the Denver convention.
To-day, Lawson wired Bryan, pledging
MIN his support and any reasonable cam
paign contribution. declaring that Wall
street had already pledged s2,5OO,OOO to
the support of Tafts campaign.
Lawson's telegram says, in part:
With a system-owned Senate and a
Republican House. your grand personality
in the White House for four years. but
tressed with the Denver platform, will
absolutely guarantee the people:
''First-Four years of Rooseveltsm.
"Second-Four years Of splendid educa-
ton in ideal Americanism.
''Third-Four years limelighting OF the
system robbers. who strut the highways
and slink the byways Of our great coun-
try.
"Fourth-And after these four the re-
turn OF Roosevelt TO a broader and more
thoroughly plowed field Of endeavor."
Lawson also suggested that in the cam
paign Bryan give orders that II be mer-
cilessly fought along the lines of the
powers behind Taft. and not the man. He
said:
"Taft's saness. honesty, and courage
represent a type Of man held sacred by
Amaricsns, and. in my opinion 1t would
be suicide to attack his splendid person.

Miss Cammack Not to Fight
for Fathers Millions.
DESIRES TO AVOID PUBLICITY
Reasons Given by POst-Office Clerk
for Refusal to Act on the Advice
to Go on Working for six Hum
dred and sixty Dollars Year.

Miss Anna Cammack. daughter Of the
late John W. Cammack, a millionaire
florist, and who Is employed IN the Post
onhce Department as a clerk at $3.50
year. yesterday declined positively 10 act
on the advice Of friends and counsel and
contest the will of her father. who left
an estate OF 100000. This move. or
rather failure 10 move. on the part OF
Miss Cammsek is. perhaps, without
parallel in the history Of the local
courts
BY the terms Of the will. Cammack left
the estate TO his second wife step
mother OF Miss Cammack and 10 a step
brother, with the exception OF $4,000.
The income Of the $4,000 is left TO Miss
Cammack during her lifetime, and upon
her death it reverts 10 the estate.
Seated in her modest apartment at 2O7
r street northwest, Miss Cammack, for
merly Mrs. Anna Cammack Hardesty.
until marital troubles overlook her and
the courts granted her divorce and re-
stored her maiden name, discussed In a
most unassuming and unusual manner
the stand she has taken.
Miss Cammnck's Statement.
II shall not contest my fathers will"
she said. Il have never had any such
intention. He left me $4,000 in trust. the
income from which I may use during my
life. and which reverts to the estate when
I die
He left my stepmother and step
brother the residue Of the estate. esti-
mated at from 100000 TO 100000. 1 pre-
sumo he had reasons Of his own for d.
viding the estate, and have not inquired
into them. Father had a mind OF his
own. I shall not go into the court and
contest the will, although 1 have been
told by my friends that my attitude is, 10
say the least, very peculiar.
Instead I intend TO continue my work
at the Post-ofice Department, where l
receive $3.50 a year for distributing money
orders. l have worked as a government
clerk at this salary for nine years, but
few Of my associates knew that I was the
daughter of John Cammack. the million
aire. did not tell them.
During this time my father has never
offered me money. and 1 have been too
independent 10 ask for It. worked be-
cause l had to. I have become accus-
toned to it and will continue to work
Desires to Avoid Publicity.
Miss Cammack's reason for not contest
ing the will is that the desire for wealth
is not as great as the desire to avoid
publicity.
She has won considerable praise as
worker in her department Her work IS
to distribute nineteen and one-half pounds
OF orders day. She frequently counted
fifty pounds, and holds the record for
counting in the office.

that they could. provided they kept the
red flag under cover and displayed only
the stars and Stripes on the line OF
march. This they refused to do. and
there was no parade. But the United
States flag was conspicuously absent from
the fair ground decorations, and red ban

cheered by a frenzied crowd
Twelve speeches were made. but as all
were IN a foreign tongue and received
with nothing more dangerous than yeils
