The charge attributed TO Colonel
Roosevelt that the moncyed interests

laation mas failed 70 draw any reply
from the friends OF Tic administra-
tion. The administration has Hcrupu-
Lousy rcfrained all along from MAX
Ing amy fight on Colonel Roosevelt
and the appearances are that this
policy will not be changed now.
This charge In general way has
Congress. They have asserted that the
president is a rraciionary. and from
chat premise have dGduccd the further
statement that big business. being also
reactionary. Is for him. From this
reasoning 1t wns another step 10 the
assertion that the capitalists would
contribute TO his campaign expenses.
AZ matter OF fact, however, finan-
cial support for the coming light is
what has worried the Taft managers
as much As anything else. The prose.
cutions so effect vely conducted BY
Httorney-G General Wickcrsham a, the
Presidents direction have stirred up
great animosity against the President
among the Wall Street magnates The
result has been that tho feeling hcr.

some radical Democrat OF tic Bryan

than they do the Taft Wickersham
regime, they will not contribute to hts
