impossible the following year, it is not difficult to believe that large interests now intensely bitter against the Administration should be planning to prevent a Roosevelt man from succeeding Mr. Roosevelt.

Politics.

The President's able secretary, Publicity Wanted in the Hon. William Loeb, Jr., was credited with having brought to light certain facts regarding the "millionaires' anti-Roosevelt movement "; and Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, head of the Republican organization of that State, was also said to have had some part, whether intentional or not, in bringing this interesting political movement to the light of day. It is unquestionably the right of rich men as well as poor men to take part in politics; and it is not to be expected that they should wholly forget their private interests. The American people, however, like to see the game of politics played in an open, above-board manner. They do not like a political scheme with secret organization, supported by unlimited money to be used in ways no longer regarded as legitimate. It is highly proper that every movement of this kind should be dragged ruthlessly to the light. The people of the country have now been placed on their guard,

can leaders are not professing popular views in the open while playing the corporation game behind the scenes. Nobody can object to an anti-Administration movement, so long as it expresses itself openly and fearlessly and uses proper methods.

It is to be remarked in passing, President's however, that the open and frank Popularity. enemies of the Administration do not seem to be making much progress. At a dinner, given by the Bryan Anniversary Club, at Chattanooga, on April 10, in honor of Mr. William Jennings Bryan, Mr. John Temple Graves, a well-known editor and orator of Georgia, suggested that the proper thing in the next Democratic national convention would be for Mr. Bryan to move the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt by acclamation as the Democratic candidate. Mr. Bryan declared that "as at present advised " he would not propose such a nomination. There is a phase of humor in the complaint of leading Democratic politicians everywhere that Mr. Roosevelt is constantly proclaiming and putting into effect policies that by right belong to the opposition party. The fact is that the masses of people in both parties are in unusual accord with the general attitude
