FIGHTING /. WILSON
WITHOUT AVAIL

Washington, d. c., Feb. 26.-Dur-
ing the past few days the country has
been flooded with letters and litera-
ture favoring a certain one of the
democratic candidates for the presi-
dency and viciously assailing Governor
Woodrow Wilson. Most Of this litera-
ture is being distributed anonymous
ly from Washington. Democratic
members of congress who are on the
mailing list have been amazed at the
audacity of those behind this well
creased and systematized movement
to boost one of the presidential candi-
dates and assault another The agency
that is disseminating this literature
is the busiest and most active in Wash
Iington and its operation are plainly
costing thousands of dollars. Nothing
like it has ever before been attempted
in the history of presidential politics.
OF this anonymous literature fac
lsimle copy of the famous Joline let
ter is featured. OF course there is no
mention of the fact that Mr.. Joline
was an attorney for and associated
with Thomas F. Ryan, but attached
to the facsimile is a note" which
bitterly assails Governor Wilson and
urges the nomination of one of the
other democratic candidates for the
presidency. Another of these anony-
nous anti.Wilson documents is ad-
dressed to members of the house, and
purports to be an appeal of a north
ern democrat in behalf of a certain
one of the other presidential candi-
dates. This, like the other eontribu-
tons, assaults Governor Wilson and
positively asserts that William J..
Bryan will not support him if nominat-
ed. There is nothing on the enclous-
lures or the envelopes in which they
were mailed to indicate from what
source they came. Yet another of
these anti-Wilson pieces of literature
tat is being so widely circulated is in
the form Of an eight page printed let
ter from George Fred Williams. It
also espouses the cause of one of the
other candidates

NO THIRD PARTY.
SO Declares Director of National
Roosevelt Headquarters.

Washington, Feb. %. AT the ma
tional Roosevelt headquarters, where
Medin Mccormick is director, the fol
lowing statement was given out;
Col Roosevelt has no intention
Whatsoever Of forming third or peo-
PIES party in the event the Chicago
convention fails to name him as the
candidate of the republican party.
Statements recently made that the
former president would take such ac-
tion are declared to be without found
alton.
That such proposition has been
made to Col Roosevelt, is not denied,
1t is stated that the activity of the ad-
ministration nomination campaign
managers in making use of the steam
roller caused several admirers of Col.
Roosevelt to fear the Chicago conven-
ton would be packed and that the
popular will of the people would find
no expression there. In this event II
was asserted, it would be well to give
the people chance to express their
sentiments at the polls, an independ.
ent party being formed to place Col.
Roosevelt's name before them.
From an authoritative source it was
learned Sunday that Col Roosevelt
did not look upon the proposition with
favor and in effect stated that such a
proceeding was out of the question.
