As soon as Mr. Parker was nominated the Wall street »gang pulled for Roosevelt, railing for him a huge campaign fund, but they did not raise a finger to help Mr. Parker, who was too straight a man for them, but who was the most conserv^tivei Democrat in the race. They pretended to favor him to mislead the people, which they did. Morgan and his gafig are now try ing to work the same old game. His bureau* at Washlnton is sending out much hot air about his being oppos ed to Taft and favoring Harmon or Clark. Of course he TaVors neither of these gentlemen, but he wants to make out that Taft is to much op posed to trusts to suit Wall street, thinking that this kind of talk will restore Taft to the good graces of the people, and that they will re- -»l««t.him,- Tbi«T -of -course, -ie-onset ly- - what Morgan and his gang want done. They think that by making Taft out a Radical the Progressive Republican movement will be check ed. ionolla-gjntntpzba mb mb m mbmm The Morgan bureau at Washing ton recently sent out a hot air xo- port to' the effect that "Postmaster General Hitchcock had returned from the aviation meet In New York with the knowledge that if President Taft’s renominated and reelected it will have to be In the face of the House of Morgan. Not only has no tice been served on the Taft leaders that they need not expect r.uy finan cial help from J. P. Morgan and the men who are actively allied with Morgan in Rig Business, but the word has gone out from Mr. Morgan himself to make war on Taft. "From reliable quarters comes the news that when Postmaster Gensral Hitchcock went to New York to at tend the aviation meet, he sounded certain of the lieutenants of Morgan as to whether contributions would be forth-coming to help reelect Taft In stead of getting aid and comfort, or the promise of any, it is declared that Mr. Hitchcock was tun.ed down Cold. In effect, the word has gone forth from J. Plerpont Morgan him- self that there is a time to make peace and a time to fight, and now is the time to fight." The report then goes on to say: "It Is not without reason that for some days past strange rumors have been flitting about in high political circles here that Wall street has turned against President Taft. So far as the powerful influence of Mr. Morgan is concerned this is true. Mr. Morgan is displeased over the atti tude of President Taft with respects to the trusts and combinations. It will be recalled that in recent months men like George W. Perkins, Judge E. H. Gary of the steel corporation and others have urged persistently that the Sherman law be amended, and that legislation be worked out to permit great combinations of cap ital to exist under the sheltering su pervision of the government. “In contrast President Taft has not only said the Sherman law Is In no need of amendment but he has -VwmrfTrrther ■ttism'TftlY.'HfrgTVW"ut terance in his Waterloo speech to what is interpreted by Mr. Morgan and his powerful allies as notice that they must submit to reorganizations of the combinations they control or prosecutions will relentlessly be car ried on Attorney General Wicker- sham has taken an uncompromising attitude with respect to the rigid en forcement of the Sherman law and U insistent that trust magnates who violate It be thrown into prison. “Under such circumstances, Mr. Morgan and the men about him are not only preparing to resist Taft, but they are giving attention to the question of what man to put Into the White House to succeed him. They They do expect to be able to prevent the renomination of the President. They dp expect t obe able to prevent his reeectlon. Governor Judson Harmon Is the first choice of the powerful financial group f which Morgan is the center But it appears that this group has done some casting about to ascertain the strength of Harmon, Harmon U regarded as an ideal man for presi dent. His record of enforcement of the Sherman law when he was at torney general ia sufficiently devoid of anything strenuous to satisfy Mr. Morgan and his friends. But gov ernor Harmon would be useless If defeated and It Is feared that the progreesive sentiment In the country is so strong that Harmon would go down to sure defeat. Her Life. Other person who dined with The Spartanburg Herald says U learned Sunday from an authoritative source , that the aunouncement last month of the candidacy of Chief Jus tice Ira B. Junes, of the supreme court, tor the governorship suddenly called a halt on elaborately formed plana for a conference of leading men from all counties of the state, at which a candidate was to be chosen to oppose Governor Blease who would stantlal evidence upon be acceptable to all elements of the opposition. There had been much correspond ence In regard to the matte 1 , and ar rangements had been made for a meeting of delegates from nearly ev ery county in Columbia during the Red Shirt reunion. At this meeting it was proposed to discuss the situ ation and make an attempt to con centrate on one man. It was then pro posed to build up an anti-Blease or ganization in order to be ready for ftn effectual campaign next summer. The Herald’s Information was a verse to the publication of this mat ter, saying It would do- no good and might injure Justice Jones. He de clared, however, fhat a number of prpminent men who had previously bqen on opposite sides of the polit ical fence became disgusted with the administration of Governor Blease and agreed to forget their differences and work in harmony to accomplish his defeat. ’s lnfbfiHantTnentioned TuncEetTSaturday, and that Mr. Rich 4* * • J.

At the same time there la Increasing talk of Representative Oscar Underwood of Alabama, chairman of the ways and means committee. It Is said that Ur. Morgan and his friends look on Underwood as not only the right kind of man. bu( that they regard him as mnch stronger In capacity to get votes than Harmon. Besides there the The strength of Wilson Is such as to make |t extremely doubtful if Har mon can he nominated, but the nomi the names of a number of those who were in the agreement. There were in the number TUlmanites and anti- Tlllmanites, prohibitionists and local optlonists. The leader of the movement, a man prominent in state politics in former years, Touriff that it was look ed upon with favor in all parts of the state. It was thought to be the only way possible to defeat Bease. Just as the plans were maturing, The Her a wasdniGumn(fu mmbl Tho Herald was informed, a certain element became suspicious that it was a plot to put forward former Governor John Gary Evans, of this city, as the champion of the oppo nents of Blease. This suspicion was usfounded. according to the Herald’s information, who said that sentffiient had favored Maj. John G. Richards Jr., as the candidate above anybody else. The suspicious element ur^ed Chief Justice Jones to take the" field at once and thus gain the advantage and ward off opposition. There was a conference with Senator B. R. Till man. Justice Jones forwarded his resignation to Governor Blease. An emissary was hurriedly sent to him, begging him to do nothing further until the meeting during the Red Shirt reunion was held. But the next day Justice Jones announced his candidacy and the well laid plans went agley. promise is deemed possible. Further than this, gossip here has it that men close to Mr. Morgan have been examining into the Champ Clark situation. They are wondering whether Mr. Clark would not be pref erable to Wilson, and it is possible that, if nothing better can be done the Morgan influence and such con servative democratic strength as this influence can command, will be thrown at the last moment to Clark. If the Taft campaign cannot get financial help from the house of Mor gan, from what source are the sin- ewes of war to come? “Information here is that the big campaign contributions will be de rived from the Guggenheims and that Senators Smoot and Penrose will be jibLe.to..coauaitad Of course it is well understood that whatever entributions are made will have to be made in such fashion as to avoid conflict with the new cam paign publicity law. "Whether the hostility of Morgan will help or hinder Mr. Taft remains to be seen. In some quarters it is be lieved the Taft managers will turn this hostility to shrewd acebunt and use it for the purpose of gaining pro gressive support.” she died. have evidence indicating .... .
