WL OPPOSE RODSEEL | eR mt Morgan Says the Presi- dent Must Be Defeated for Renomination: DECLARES HE IS AN UNSAFE MAN, Since His Return from Paris the Financier Has Been Outspoken in His Opposition to Mr. Roosevelt—Would Form an Al- : Mance with Democrat} to Encompass + His Defeat. Washington, Sept. 23.—Defeated im his efforts to prevent the New York republicans froin indorsing President Roosevelt, it is now the announced determination of J, Pierpont Morgan to defeat the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt for president in 1904, If he fails to accomplish his purpose by securing the defeat of Mr. Roose- velt in the republican convention, he will try to secure the nomination by the democrats of Grover Cleve- land, or some democrat of that school, and will throw him his sup- porfand that of the interests he rep- reffnts, ‘This is the plan to punish . Roosevelt for his anti-trust pol- . This is stated on the authority f a friend of Mr. Morgan, a man who stands high in polities and fi-’ mance, who says that Mr. Morgan made this deliberate tement to him: “He must be defeated for nom- ination and a safe man must be nom- inated in his stead. If he cannot be defeated for nomination, then we must see that the democrats nom- inate a safe man like Cleveland, whom the business interests « can support, and beat Roosevelt at the polls.” The president’s speeches in New England are not the primary cause of Morgan’s opposition, The great financier’s irritation was begun near- ly a year ago. That was when Pres- ident Roosevelt directed Attorney General Knox to begin proceedings against the Northern Pacific merger under the Sherman anti-trust’ low. Mr, Morgan was much provoked at the/attitude of the president at that me, an ciled to the president's determina- ion to enforce the law without re- rd to individuals or combinations individuals, He did not like the resident’s declaration that no man should stand above the luv. Since his return from Europe Mr. Morgan has been more outspoken in his opposition to the president than ever before. In Paris he was received by the president of France, in Berlin by the emperor of Ger- many, and in London'by the king of England, He returned home, it is said, with new and exagerated ideas of his importance as the internation- al dictator in finance, and he thought some kind of overtures should be made to him by the president on his return to the United States. Dresi- dent Roosevelt, however, treated Mr. Morgan as only one of the 75,000,000 of American people. FIRST TO INAUGURATE IT. Commissioner of Pensions Ware Will Give 8 Roception to G, A. R.
