| George w. Perkins and former Senator

Senator Borah and incidentally In
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin and
Senator Cummins Of Iowa. Perkins is
a wealthy man: Beveridge Is poor

according to reliable authority, backed
by Perkins for the bull moose nomin-

Holding Senator Borah largely re-
sponsible for the success Of the get
together movement. Perkins. SO he
told one of his friends, has set aside
considerable fund to be used to de-
stroy confidence in Senator Borah
Senator Beveridge is one Of Perkins
principal paid agents. Not long ago
9everidge wrote an article for a lead
ing undertaking magazine In which he
made the charge that Senator Borah
was an ally Of the stand-pat republi-
ans and merely advocates progress
i've ideas when he thinks he makes po-
'tical capital by so doing The arti-
Gle was particularly offensive and was

At intervals other publications Of q
similar nature have been creeping out
in different places, all Of them the re-
suit of Perkins efforts to destroy Bo-
rah.
Idaho Senator Forces Fight.
Senator Borah had information as
the purpose of both Perkins and
Beverage at the time he attacked
Perkins in his speech at Columbus
Ohio. He knew that he was to be
stabbed in the back and he also knew
that Perkins had no intention Of fight
ing him openly. He therefore forced

IN the defensive instead of allowing
himself to be put there.
Perkins Backs Beveridge.
George w. Perkins is in favor Of the
1ominat ton Of Senator Beverage for
president because Beveridge is ready

Perkins idea. Senator Beveridge
needs an angel to back his campaign
md he Is only too glad TO have the
Perkins millions behind him. In fact
re Is willing to accept policies shaped
by Perkins in return for the Perkins
wealth. Recently Beverage announc-
ID himself as favorable to the Perkins
'heory of trust control This theory

therefore, Perkins does not care again
. support Roosevelt for the nominal
ion Beverldge, Of course, will not
import Roosevelt, because the NOM
nation of Roosevelt in 1915 would

mother four years and young Albert

another four years. Moreover, Bever-
7ge makes the statement that the
bird party can not afford to nomin-
ate Roosevelt in 1916. for If it should
do so it would be branded as a party
maintained in the interest Of one man.
Of course Senator Beverage Is not
willing to belong to a party which Is
maintained to advance the interests
Of only one individual-unless that in
dividual be Albert J. Beveridge.
George w. Perkins knows that he
