IMPORTANT, ALSO.

While it might be said that the large financial institutions of the country are not swayed wholly by patriotism, it cannot be denied that their influences are usually or the side of good and for the general "^welfare of the country. While some of these having particularly selfish interest, are clamoring for armed intervention in Mexico, more of them are found at the side ct President Wilson counseling avoidance of actual warfare. Yesterdays letter issued by. the Henry Clews banking house of New York, sho.uld be rend by every citizen. It says: "The way ic still open for mediation in order to prevent war, and the United States is practically a unit against war. Every effort should be made to prevent this threatened conflict."

Its cheerful and optimistic t^ne relative to business, too, is worth reading in the midst of all these "alarums of war."

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 1—Colcnel Roosevelt, is the General Gomez of the progressives, but with this difference: General' Gomez led his enemies into ambush to slaughter, and Colonel Roosevelt leads his friends.

And yet there was scarcely a ripple on the wave when the colonel's message of weazel word? and falsehoods was given to the public after having been submitted to the most pronounced reactionaries in the country, such aa Murray Crane, for their stamp oi approval. No one here considered it even fourth rate news. The scoop was killed by that Gary billionaire Wall street dinner where Roosevelt and Perkins of the Harvester trust entered into a cold bargain for the sale of the progressives to the reactionaries.

But what a story 6f the' doublecross! Of course it began with the. ..Gary dinner. In 1912 the progressives came into existence with a set of progressiva principles which they thought worth fighting ..for ...until-, written into legislative enactment. The men at the Gary dinner whose wjealth approximated billions of dollars were the .worst reactionaries in the country. No one would be idiotic enough to believe that J. Pierpont Morgan, George Perkins of the Harvester trust, August Belmont, and a score of that type would'tolerate the progressive principles of l'Jl-2 for single second. When Roosevelt and Perkins went into that conference to sell out their followers they entered into one of the most brazen doublecross conspiracies in the history of American politics.

They double-crossed progressive principles! A Whole Party Footed.

And "when a little later Mr. Roosevelt went into secret confab with Root, the brains of the reactionaries, with I-odge, whose life for two years after 1012 was given up wholly to denouncing progressive principles as anarchistic, and Robert Bacon of the Morgan Interests, whose other claim to distinction is that he was one of the perverts who surrounded the table .at the Stanford White dinner when the "chicken" in the garb of Eve emerged from the pie when they met with that company they double-crossed the small leaders of the progressive party by entering into a huckster conspiracy in secret.

But that was onjy the beginning of the double cross. Mr., Roosevelt made1his followers believe that he meant business this yj- c. No one else thought h*s did—but

convention. But he had them hold it at the same time the republicans held theirs and in the same place. The purpose of this was. patent. When the hucksters, the Gary dinner reactionaries and Roosevelt 'and Perkins met in secret about the champagne board the assurance was given Mr. Roosevelt that he, would be given every chance to capture the republican nomination, and" with the understanding that if he failed he would support the reactionary nominee. It was then and there decided in this unholy alliance that the conventions would be held at the same time. It is quite probable that Mr. Perkins had no idea that Roosevelt could' win. His motive was to get, a man nbmihated'that could beat Wilson, as he thought. His interests are wfth the Harvester trust. But he. made Roosevelt think that he would do his best to land him. The indications are that—

Perkins double-crossed Roosevelt!

The First Suspicion.

And then the convention met. *Thc rank and file of the progressives over the country" sent their 'delegates to Chicago on the theory that they really had a party and that the party would really reaffirm the principles of 1912 end again nominate a ticket. But when the huckstering began they round to their amazement that Perkins was* in constant consultation with Boies Penruse, Henry Cabot Lodge and Murray Crane. They knew that he was not consulting these gentlemen on the Question of progressive principles. Tfiey began to suspect an ambush. 7 heir writers such as Victor Murdock and William Allen White said so during the convention. And then they got mad. They thought that Perkins was double-crossing Roosevelt, but they thought it impossible that Roosevelt could double-cross them. They hastened to their work'and named Roosevelt and then—

Roosevelt double-crossed the rank and file of his party! It is campaign year and there is a tendency always to exaggerate, but it is not an exaggeration to say that never in the history ot American politics has there ever been so base and brutal and flagrant a betrayal of his followers by a public man as Roosevelt was guilty of on that occasion.

And then the game sf the doublecross proceeded. Mr. Hughes hastened -to New .York to consult with Murray Crane and Root and Roosevelt, Fancy the combination! There weh interchanges—in secret! Mr. Roosevelt in 191$' was very bitter against secret arrangements-^

And all the while' Mr. Roosevelt was indicating that Gbr^ man-Americans ought to be stood UP'" and shot, and the German- Alliance wass whooping it up for Hughes! In their interchanges Hughes and. RooseVelt swapped opinions about the German-? Americans. They found they were "not far apaijt! That is the story earried^ by the Associated Press—-that Roose-' velt and Hughes -were not very far apart on the German question. Alfl that means that—

Some one is being given the doubhy cross! Is it the German-Alliance?

If Mr. Hughes* views are tne sawae as Mr. Roosevelt's and "they are not| very far apart"—then the German^-A1 liance is being double-.cii(jssed* ,ibyi Hughes.
