ROOSEVELT TO STICK
DECLARES THAT INTERESTS"
SEEK TO ELIMINATE HIM.
Asserts Sinister "InHuences" Are
Fighting Him Because
They Fear Him.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 2S.-Colonel
Roosevelt indicated here Wednesday
the issue upon which he is to make
his campaign for the presidency. He
purposes to base his appeal upon the
assertion that what he has termed the
big sinister influences" have deter
mined to eliminate him from public
life because he Is the one man whom
they really fear. To accomplish this
purpose, he believes, they are willing
to take up any man who they think
can win the presidency over him.
Having defeated him at the Chicago
convention, he says they hope to con-
troll the Democratic convention to
this same end.
They know me, and know them" I"
he said. 1T IL anything to beat me.
I am fighting a lone hand, anG"I am
going to fight It out to the end"
The former president made this re-
mark after a long conference with
William A. Prendergast, comptroller
Of the city Of New York Mr.. Prem
dergast came to Oyster Bay to induce
Colonel Roosevelt to say definitely
that under no circumstances would he
withdraw from the fight.
HAS any suggestion been, made, :"
was asked Mr.. Prendergast, that any
man other than Colonel Roosevelt
should lead the fight for the new
party?"
Il will answer that question for
Mr.. Prendergast," said the colonel.
Tn the statement; which I made in
Chicago said that would stay In the
fight to the end. Since then l have
received hundreds of letters and tele-
grams urging me to go ON with it, and
not one Of them suggested that get
out of 1t. In every case my reply Is
just what l said in Chicago"
The comptroller said the reason he
was anxious to make it clear that
Colonel Roosevelt would make the
fight was that the Interests" which
defeated him at Chicago would do
anything, In their power to keep him
out Of the White House. -.
