Holdover Member of Roosevelt Ad-
ministratlon Suspected.

Observation-Disclosures advisers OF
President Taft are of the opinion that
there is a conspiracy to hold his cabinet
up to ridicule and contempt.
One man is said to be at the head of
this conspiracy, and it is understood te
be the inspiration of the plans to dis,
credit President Taft's lieutenants by
comparing them with the lieutenants OF
President Roosevelt.
The man who is suspected of being a
press agent for assaults on several Of
President Taft's cabinet officers is al
official of the government, who came
over as a legacy from the Roosevelt gov.
eminent.
There is very little question that there
will be a general demand by the cabinet
for the decapitation of this official. and
there is very little doubt that his name
was used at the special extraordinary
conclave of the cabinet officers held
Tuesday night at the department OF
