Friends Of the Former President Sec
Diabolical Plot to Discredit
His Administration and
Keep Him Submerged.
RUMoR OF HIS DEATH
A Reason is Now Given for the Report
Sent Out That the African
Hunter Has Lost His
Life.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Friends OF
former President Roosevelt are pre-.
pairing to fight actively what they call
a diabolical plot to discredit his ad-
ministration. They openly assert
that the giant monopolistic ill.,
terests of the country, alarmed as
never before by the sentiments for
Roosevelt today in evidence in every
section of the country, plan to check
it by proving that Roosevelt protect
ed the sugar, tobacco and powder
trust through Attorney General
Bonaparte. finance and politics are
well mixed according to Roosevelt's
friends. Every big monopoly assailed
by Roosevelt, they assert, is concern
ed in an attempt to check his popu-
larity, at once Money is no object.
say his friends. and friendships and
alliances Of long standing are to be
exerted if possible to accomplish the
desire.
The friends see the beginning of
the plot in the circulation by the
trusts that Roosevelt was dead in
Africa. This they declare was but a
feeler to ascertain just how strong
Roosevelt was in the country. The
response was spontaneous and unmis-
| takeable. Roosevelt seemed as much
| the popular idol as he was when ir
Washington Then, according to the
people who believe him to be made a
| victim of the hatred OF the interests
came the first food tide.
The one New York paper, supposed
to be closest to the money powers and

man Parsons, son OF John e. Parsons
chief consul of the sugar trust, was
freely commented on and the declara

the president to Bonaparte. 1t was
through Bonaparte and at the
! time there was fight in progress
against the Standard Oil CO and 9th
ers, the crime of the sugar trust was
pigeonholed and no action taken.

Governor Deneen Begins His Cam
palsn Toward Securing This
Blessing For the Voters
Of His State.
SPEECH IN CHICAGO
Tho Real Issue Goes Deeper Than
The Question Of Expenses And
Bad Government Can Easily
BE Purchased.

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 12.-Gov. De-
neen began his speaking campaign in
favor Of a sound primary law here
last night, addressing large ASSEM-
bly, which evidently expected the
state executive to also take up the
cudgels in behalf OF the deep water
way. The governor, however, devot-
himself to the primary. He will tour
the state. fighting for this reform,
which he declares is vital to the
political welfare OF Illinois.
In his initial speech the governor
came out fiat-footed against any pri-
mary law that would contain the old
delegate convention system and made
1t plain that he would work for the
re-enactment of the old Oglesby law,
revised to conform to the supreme
court decision
He reduced to an absurdity the
argument of the "antis'' that direct
primaries We're too expensive" by
calling attention to the following
points:
Delegate primaries cost more than
direct primaries.
| A delegate system law would give
the dominant party the power to
gerrymander.
| If the men who are shouting about
expenses carried their argument to
its logical conclusion they would land
against the proposition that all pub
lie officers should be elected for life
to save the cost of elections.
"The real issue" said the governor
goes deeper than the question OF ex-
pense The issue is whether the vot-
ers, the rank and file of the party.
shall control party nominations and
determine the personnel of the pub
lie service.
Good government is always paid
for in advance. Bad government can
be easily purchased on deferred pay
ments; lsst these are always secured
4 by mortgage upon future public
welfare"
