in January. 1906:

when it looked certain that the
State ticket would 60 Demo
cratic, and was doubted as to
Roosevelt, he the President,
sent me a request to go to
Washington to confer upon the
political conditions in New York
State. l complied and he told
me he understood the campaign
could not be successfully carried
on without sufficient money, and
asked if l could help them in
raising the necessary funds, as
the National Committee, under
control of Chairman Cortelyou
had utterly failed of obtaining
them, and there was a large
amount due from them to the
New York State committee.
"I explained to him that l
understood the difficulty here
was mainly caused by the up
State leaders being unwilling to
support Depew for reelection as
United States Senator; that if
he, Depew, could be taken care
of in some other way | thought
matters could be adjusted and
the different contending elements
in the party brought into close
alliance again. We talked over
what could be done for Depew,
and finally he agreed that if
found necessary he would ap-
point him as Ambassador to
Paris.
"With full belief that he, the
President, would keep his agree
ment, | came back to New York,
sent for Treasurer Bliss, who
told me that I was their last
hope and that they had ex-
hausted every other resource.
In his presence I called up an
intimate friend of Senator De
pew, told him that it was neces-
sary in order to carry New York
State that 100000 should be
raised at once, and if he would
subscribe $4,000. After a few
words over the telephone the
gentleman said he would let me
know which he did probably in
three or four hours, with the re-
suit that the whole amount, in
Guiding my subscription, had
been raised.
"The checks were given tc
Treasurer Bliss, who took them
to Chairman Cortelyou."
Mr.. Roosevelt was bowling for
money at the end of October.
The Standard obOl had been of
fered "early in September, Mr..
Archbold says. 1t never was
returned. 1t must have been
about the time when ''dear Mr..
Hartman of the Standard Oil
crowd was being invoked that
the curious two letters and tel
egram, establishing in advance
a moral abb for the inventor OF
morals, were written. The let
ters bear date October rs and
October q; the telegram is
dated October 80. We think
the Colonel doth protest toe
much. The Standard Oil Com
pany people had put up $685..
600; had been asked, they say
to put up $4,000 more. The
currency-the righteous never
take checks-had been giver
and presumably spent more thar
a month before the final anc
effective call Of the present Bul
Moose for sufficient money
The moral abb was almos'
contemporaneous with the con
ference by request in the White
House.
Nothing in the then unawak
ened and unpurified politica
morals of Theodore Roosevelt
would have prevented him from
taking all he could get. Mr.

sented a petition with $50 names
asking for certain improvements on
the park and submitted as a part of
that petition a blue print of the
plans of their own design.
Holmburg, in the course of the de-
bate, made this statement: Il will
engage in no work of permanent
character toward the improvement of
any park until the plan is first ap-
proved by professional landscape
architect. Moreover, those plans do
not call for an apparatus playground
and that's what the city is going to
erect. An appropriation was made
many moons ago for children's park
and playground. the sense of the
council being that the city should
have playground with scientific ap-
parati, rather than merely a lawn
with shade trees.
In following out that desire of
the council, which also coincided
with my own wishes, | selected Chill
dren's park at Gunnison and Fourth
as the site for. this playground. |
had my plans drawn by competent
architect and was about to carry
them out when prevented by the
people of that neighborhood. | have
now decided to put these plans in
force as far as possible this year on
the Emerson park in the Fourth
ward. | cannot promise any assist
ance to you people at Children's
park"
Chairman Cherrington of the park
commission made similar state
ment to the effect that the appropri-
alton was made for specific purpose
and referred to style of park rath-
er than specific location. The re-
suit was that the Children's park
people got no satisfaction from the
commission or commissioners and
their plan was not recognized in the
least.
So this situation constitutes the
deep sea-
Today the workers who circulated
The daily sentinel., 1912-01-06

the petition are quietly meeting the
people of that neighborhood and are
firmly but unostentatiously prepar-
ing the way for a recall and that re-
call will be tied on to Commissioner
c. X. Holmburg at a not far distant
date. Is the opinion of those closest
to the situation.
This, you understand, is the devil.
\ significant fact is that the ma
jor portion of those objectors are
ex-drys. Some of them are still
dry, but for the most part they are
people who voted the Holmburg-Vor
beck-Rankin ticket. The petitions
contain the names of scores of the
best people of the city and by far
the greatest number are those who
were former proponents of the char
ter regime.
Such is life and politics. The
friends of yesterday carry the decap-
itating AK today, and if Commissioner
Holmburg can't find some way to diI
vert the playground money to a park
fund, he is going to worthily emu
late the gobbler on Thanksgiving.
The daily sentinel., 1912-01-06

1t will be remembered that when
Commissioner Holmburg began his
Improvements he started with an ak
and felled a half dozen trees before
the irate citizens convinced him that
they wanted more shade and less
improvements" of that variety. The
matter was threshed out before the
park commission and the objectors
were sent back to prepare a plan of
improvements that suited them and
in the meantime Holmburg refrained
from his forestry Investigations on
the park.
