MUNSEY HEARS NEWS
ABOUT THE PRESS
Learns From Brooklyn He Is to
Hire Colonel Roosevelt as
an Editor. U

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-The Brooklyn
Eagle yesterday published rumor to
the effect that Theodore Roosevelt will
become an editor or the New York
Press after November 9 In the event
he does not become President Of the
United States. Another interesting
part of the rumor." the Eagle said, 'is
that the Press was bought by George
w. Perkins and Oscar Straus. and that
the name OF Mr.. Munsey was used as
the owner In order to avoid complica-
tons"
Following this publication In the
Eagle Mr.. Munsey, answering Inquiries
from other newspapers, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
what you say to me about the ru-
NOR that Mr.. Roosevelt is TO become
editor of the New York Press after
have had on the subject. have never
discussed this idea with Mr., Roose-
welt, neither has he discussed IL Win
me, neither has II ever been discusseu
or thought of by anybody, to my know'-
edge. 49,. -, a., rat
oneT Roosevelt is not elected President
nothing would please me 80 much as
TO secure a man OF his ability Tor any
one of my newspapers, but that could
do 80 has never occurred to me, and,
as a matter OF fact, l do not believe
II could be done.
II dc not mind saying In this con-
nection, that the salary that has al
ready been fixed upon in Park Row,
$4,000 a year. wouldn't stand In the
way. Indeed, / think could make
money in my publishing business on
Mr.. Roosevelt at a salary Of a hundred
thousand dollars a year
II am sorry to disappolnt Park Row
I'm being compelled to say that Mr.. George
w. Perkins and Mr.. Oscar Straus had
nothing to do with the purchase of the
New York Press, and that no other
man anywhere had anything to do with
the purchase Of the New York Press.
Neither has any other man anywhere
had anything to do with the purchase
Of any of my publishing properties, nor
has any man anywhere any hold on
my publishing properties, newspapers
or magaxines. They are quite inde.
pendent Of Wall Street. quite independ
ent OF politics, quite Independent oi

one else. They are my own prop

and to the best interests Of the com

ton which every socialist could readi-
ly forsee-and not therefore be reck-
oned as a defeat. The ote in the
country was doubled and this in face
Of the fact that the progressiyes with
their popular leader had taken enough
planks Of the socialists to draw of
those voters who were simply protest
ants against present conditions with
out taking into account the economic
laws that have produced them
1t is safe to say that the million
approximately, socialist votes cast in
the late lection were the Simon pure
class, conscious votes, j. e., cast b.
those who recognize that the conflict
between those who own the can Of
production and distribution and those
who produce and distribute is an ir
repressible one.
The thoroughly c~apitalistic papers
those owned by the interests for the
sake Of moulding public opinion in
their behalf, are admitting that the
menace of socialism looms large in
the future and will doubtless rigor-
ously renew their policy of utilization
and Misrepresentation of the social
democratic party. which has done
much to retacd the movement in the
past. It therefore stands those in
hand who desire accurate information
in regard to it to lose no time in sub
scribing for a socialist paper. There
are many Of them each with its own
peculiar style of appealing to the un-
derstanding-those that wear gloves
and those that handle capitalistic
abuses without gloves, but all dealing
carefully with facts, of necessity for
the interests menaced by socialism

Returns from the various county
seat elections indicate that in each

by &c plurality. This enables Timber
Lake to retain the county seat, but as
1t did not receive a majority of the
vote, the location is not permanent.
In Corson county, the movement to di-
vide the county failed. In Ziebach

PROPOSED CHANGES IN GAME
Avs

State Game Warden Bancroft has
fixed Wednesday, December 4, as the
date, and Huron as the place of meet
ing of the committee selected to draft
changes in the game laws to be sub
mitted to the Legislature at the coming
session, and to frame up the best
method of disposal of the surplus in
the state game fund, for the greatest
benefit to the hunters who have paid
the cash into the fund, says a Pierre
dispatch.
This committee, which was selected
at a meeting held last September, is
composed of Enoch Norbeck, Platte;
J. T. Mick, Sturgis; c. n. Herreid,
Aberdeen; T. H. Null, Huron; c. H.
Englesby, WATERFOWL; A. l.. Wyman,
Yankton; Charles M. Woodland, San
sarc.
Several different propositions have
been advanced as the proper disposal
of the surplus in the game fund, one
of these being the purchase and loca-
ton Of game in the state both birds
and animals; another proposition be-
ing the establishment of a fish hatch
cry at some point in the eastern part
of the state, probably on the Sioux
river, and these different propositions
will be worked over by the committee
at the meeting on the fourth of mex
month. While this is called as a COM
mittee meeting, any interested sports
men of the state are invited to be
present and take a part in the work
which is to be carried out at that time.
