Col. Roosevelt's Personal Friend
Says LaFollette Is Logical
Man For Nomination,
ALKS AT BAN u E 7.
Insurgents Pleased With Utter
ances Which Come From Man
Close To Former President.
TALKS AT BANQUET.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-An open,
free-for-all fight for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1912 with
no candidate having the backing or
opposition OF Col. Roosevelt, is pre-
dicted today.
That New York will be one of the
backgrounds In the fight for dele
gates to the convention is believed to
have been assured by a speech made
last night by Clifford Pinchot, one OF
Roosevelt's Tennis cabinet" and his
close personal friend. Speaking al
the banquet of the Insurgent club,
Pinchot said:
"Since Mr.. Roosevelt has eliminat-
ed himself, Senator LaFoflette Is his
logical successor"
The insurgent movement, Pinchot
averred, Is bigger than the individual,
but leader Is necessary.
"The capitalization about this lead
er will proceed even faster from now
On" said Pinchot, referring to the fact
that Roosevelt's authorized statement
that he would support no candidate
had been published,
Although Pfncaot took pains to en-
phasize that he spoke for himself
alone, progressive Republicans admit
they are greatly pleased with the
speech as coming from man so close
10 Col Roosevelt. Col. Roosevelt's at
titude they declared has freed his fol-
lowers to support LaFollette II they
wish.

PERJURY is RIFE, SAYS
PROSECUTOR SHEPHERD

Prosecutor Hugh Shepherd, In an
address before the members OF the
Brotherhood OF st. Paul of the Cen
trail Methodist church, Monday
night, on Law enforcement as
against law enactment" said that
the courts of Detroit were honey
combed with perjury from the wit
ness stand; that in tho course Of his
private practice, before becominR
prosecutor, he found few cases in
which witnesses had not perjured
themselves. He confessed that he
didn't know how to remedy the diff
ficulty, but thought that a prosecu-
ton OF some of them, with the 20
year prison penalty staring them in
the face, might bring about re-
form, whether convictions were
achieved or not.
In regard to the laws of the coun-
try, Mr.. Shepherd said that fewer
statutes and more enforcement
would work wonders in this COM
munity. The dance halls and saloons
are now pretty well controlled, and
the blind pigs" are practically out
of business, he said.
After his address, Mr.. Shepherd
said he planned to call the brewers
to his Office in the hope of getting
them to cooperate with him in elm
mating the blind pigs" entirely.

cox LIEUTENANTS
REFUSE TO STEP DOWN

CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 28.-Al-
though Boss" George B. Cox, of Gin
cinnati. has retired thoroughly beat
en-, the old Cox gang" is still alive
and fighting and has refused to
change leaders. The outward express
sion OF this was evident today as a
result Of the election of Councilman
Ray Hillenbrand as president OF the
Blaine club by vote Of nearly 2 to 1.
Hillenbrand was backed by Hermann
and Hynicka, Cox lieutenants, and
the Blaine club Is the stronghold Of
the county Republican organization.
The issues in Hamilton county are
considerably muddled as a result OF
the election. Charles p. Taft,
through his paper, demanded the cleo
tion OF Albert H. Morrill,, lawyer,
and demanded new leaders and a
New deal for the Republicans. The
Cox followers openly defied Taft, as
we'll as the president, in displaying a
banner, Remember the Akron
sreech," in from. of their headquar-
ters. In the Akron speech in 1905.
President Taft denounced the Cox
ring.

certain amount of sentiment for state.
wide prohibition, the resolution intro
duced in the annual meeting of the
league, about a month ago, providing
for legislative action to make the en-
tire state "dry," would likely be
tabled" for couple OF years when
1t is brought up for discussion in the
adjourned session of the board ol
trustees Of the league, in the Y. M
G. A., this afternoon.
The Legislature will not have
regular session for couple of years,

for statewide prohibition until the
way is clear for immediate action by
the legislature"
In regard to the agitation to trans
fer him to another state, Mr.. Morrow
said he didn't think he would be dis
turbed. He is anxious TO remain III
Michigan and continue the fight here

of my opponents. ] expect to stay
here, for | believe the men who are
trying to transfer me are greatly IN
the minority on the board
Mr.. Morrow said the finances OF the
league were now in a healthy condi
tion; that, as a matter of fact, there
was only about $500 of a deficit when
the annual meeting took place, and
that the treasury is in good shape
now.
"One hundred men have pledged
themselves TO give 500 each towards
the Anti-Saloon league work. said
Mr.. Morrow, "and we now have col
lected $4,000 of the $4,000, We ex.
pect to have it all shortly and we Will
go into the spring campaign with
about $4,000 at our back. The
churches, this year, have also done
well, having subscribed about $SOo
more than last year"
There are seven wet" counties and
Is dry" ones to figure in the coming
election, and Mr.. Morrow said he
looked for the Anti-Saloon league to
win in every one.
Oakland county, now wet is Ger,

CHARGES ARE A JOKE"
SAYS MAYOR SEIDEL

MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 2S--'1 look on
the charges as huge joke" said
Mayor Seidel when asked about the
demand by Alderman J. p. Carney
that he and City Clerk Carl d
Thompson and CITY Attorney Daniel
V. Hoan be impeached for alleged
malfeasance, misfeasance and non
feasance in offico in connection with
the 1911 assessment. This demand

1T is question in my mind wheth-
er | will take any notice of the
charges at ALL" continued the mayor.
We got after few Of the tax dodg-
ers and the so-called reformers are
jealous of the work being done by the
administration. Nothing has been
done in violation of the law"

GREY'S SPEECH is
SLAP AT LIBERALS

LONDON, Nov. 28.-The concensus
OF opinion here today is that the SEN
sational speech delivered yesterday
afternoon before the House of Parlia-
ment by Sir Edward Grey, secretary
for foreign affairs, indicates that
Grey and his anti-German associates
are determined to steer the ship of
state in the teeth of Liberal opinion.
There is a general feeling OF re-
sentiment against the policy outlined
by Sir Edward which simply marshals
the nations of Europe into hostile
camps. II was significant that during
Sir Edwards remarks on the Moroc-
can situation. the speaker was vigor-
ously applauded by the Tories but
the Liberals sat In frigid silence.
