of Being Morgan's Candidate While
The Tribune Says He Helps Taft.
A New York dispatch says Roose-
velt barred himself from all visitors
at the Outlook Office Saturday, send
ing out word to the newspaper men
that business of Importance engaged
rim and that he had nothing to give
out either in interview or statement
in regard to his scoring Of the prose-
cutlon of the Steel trust nor would he
make any reply to press criticism.
Wall street Saturday had kind
words for Colonel Roosevelt for the
first time. These words had their in
ception in the former presidents at
tack. upon President Tafts antitrust
policy which he terms chaotic. y
Wall streets feelings were plainly a
reflection in the stock market, which
was strong and material gains were
maae in the list, generally in Unite !
States steel.
Banker Henry Clews, one Of the
powers of 1.-The streets" expressed
the general view Saturday when he
declared that Colonel Roosevelt s
views, as expressed in his editorial
in the Outlook, would be cheerfully
endorsed by all holders Of securities.
Mr.. Clews said:
"a good many people will probably
jump to the conclusion that the colo
nel's remarks will have some effect
on the next presidential candidate.
What this country would like Is a
leader who would make prosperity
his watchword and not allow politics
to interfere with 1t in any shape or
form. At tho present time business
Of secondary consideration, politics
occupying the first place.
THE financial interests have not
always been in accord with the col
onel's utterances, but his remarks
with respect to the United States
Steel corporation and other corpora.
tions seem to be very appropriate at
the present time and will be heartily
comm ended by all holders of. securi-
ties and by others who believe the
large industrial corporations when
properly conducted are not inimical
to the best interests of the country
That Theodore Roosevelt is again
a candidate for presidency and that
his editorial in the Outlook, declaring
that bushes conditions in this coun-
try are chaotic as result Of the
present admisitrahon's policy is his
formal declaration Of that fact Is de-
clared editorially by the World. 9th
er newspapers make strong comment
on the editorial.
The World, under the caption, "Is
Roosevelt Morgan's Candidate?" de-
clares that Mr.. Roosevelt presents
Wall streets sentiment against Mr
Taft more forcibly and coherently
than Wall street itself has been able
to do, and Ids:
LESS than week ago, when Mr.
Roosevelt gracefully accepted Viii.
liam Barnes, Jr., as boss Of the Re-
publican party in New York, The
World asked if he were not again q
candidate for president. The Outlook
article may be accepted as full and
complete answer. Mr.. Roosevelt Is
palpably a candidate and mis- extra
ordinary political genius has set fol
itself the task of bringing about q
coalition between the anti-Taft pro.
gressives in the west and the anti.
Taft plutocrats in Wall street Oh
this coalition he expects to bo the
beneficiary. E;r. Roosevelt is not Civ.
en- to disinteresled political effort
Branding the editorial IS FLAP
DOODLE" The Herald editorially re-
marks: "The difficulty in which Mr.
Roosevelt is nvolved-and believe Us
it is a difficulty, is that he has been
named as correspondent in the gov.
ernment's suit to divorce the stee
corporation and the Tennessee Goa
and Iron corporation. He cannot be
indicted and fined, he cannot be
enjoined and dissolved. But all the
same, he Is on the defensive and on
trial. and he Is smarting as he has
seldom smarted before"
The Tribune believes that Mr.
Roosevelt's discussion Of this com.
pick problem should prove helpful tt
President Taft"
"The Outlook editorial marks the
return of Roosevelt" is the opinion
OF The Press.
