« THE MM TELEGRAPH PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING AND TWICE A WEEK BY THE MACON TELEGRAPH PUBLISH ING COMPANY. 663 MULBERRY 8TREET, MACON. GA. 0. R. PENDLETON, President THE TELEGRAPH IN ATLANTA. Ths Talagraph oan ba found on aala •t tha Kimball Houaa and tha Piad- mont Hotal In Atlanta. PLOT AND COUNTERPLOT. Tha story given out at the White Rouaa with the President’* approval of the bibulous but unlocated feast at which the plot was given away of a millionaires’ conspiracy to “down" Mr. Roosevelt's chosen candidate for the Presidential nomination In 1908 has all the ’'earmarks” of tha "stuff that dreams" (or paranoiac*) ”ar* made of.” Tha first of these earmarks Is the Insistence of the President and his mouthpieces that the publication of the Harrlman letter was "the opening gun" and was deliberately fired as a part of the plot. Presently we will doubtless he told that Hill, the sten ographer who has been Jailed by Har- r’.man for selling the Harrlman letter. Is In the game. So sane a purveyor of news as the Washington Post appears to be im pressed by the "brain storm" raging the mmiasi'on of the incumbent of the White House? Not if the Pren.ient Is sincere In his oft- repeated sta’.eiv.ent announcement that he would r.ot have another tern., and ti.ere is no reason to doubt the sincerity of the Presi dent's Utterances on that subject. It must be. then, that the Presi dent’s friends are playing this game that they may have dele gates nominally instructed. but whose votes in the convention ere to be swung when the President gives the word to the man of his choice. There are evidences dally that the plan for obtaining Roosevelt deb gates has been put Into effect. Wednesday Senator Burkett, of Ne braska. had a long conference with the President, but would not tnl# when he left the White House. Half an h- ur Inter h» pave out an interview declaring he stood foe the reuorr.ination of the President and would ber.d h's energies to that end. F rmcr Representative Martin, of South Dakota, as he was retiring from the last Congress, made a similar declaration, in a carefully prepared interview, that he cave out, evidently, after sub mitting it to the President. The outspoken and emphatic de claration of Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota, for Mr. Roose velt Is not yet forgotten, and this announcement, like the others, fol lowed a White House conference. All these statements appeared to have been Inspired and seem to In dicate that the whole of the great Northwest and the States west of the Mississippi are solidly In line for the President or the man to ward whom he may point his fin ger. THE GIANT AWAKES. News of steady though unobtrusive military preparations In China has reached the outside world, but it is r.ot so well known that a general awaken ing among the dense masses of the people Is In progress, encouraged by the Government, that points In the di rection of an aroused and assertive national spirit. According to an account before us, "China is not only assembling, equip ping, drilling and Instructing armies: China Is also educating her youth to the military Idea and habit. Hitherto the pathway to official station and preferment has been floored with a poetic philosophy and hedged by mere scholasticism. Today the test is no longer that of proficiency In the clas sics and familiarity with the colorless and Invertebrate dreamlngs of the schools. Playing up to the militant and have somebody holier out ‘Hello, Teddy.’ Ar.il so the Senate has to deliver the goods. "Lincoln was a good sort of a man and did a whole lot for the country while he served as Presi dent, and Washington did a lot; too, but they couldn’t hold a candle to this man we've got now; they can't come up to him. He has made the whole world sit up and take notice. "Teddy has got the corporations on the run. "He does not want another term, and means It when he says so, but what is he going to do when the people of this country Just sweep him back in again? The people won't hear of anybody else. Prob ably some other man might carry out his present policies, but you can’t make the people believe that. They want him to carry them out himself, .and they are going to see that he does It. Why, if Bryan is put up, he'll get beat worse than Parker. There is nothing to it. Theodore Roosevelt will be the next President.” ■M-l-M-H-M-l-l-I-I-I-I Till! i -i-i-;-. 1 -;- |Caught on j the Wing I If Mr. Masterson Is correct: It Mr. and practical departure from ancient.

BOIFEUILLET. I had a chat yesterday with Judge Dick Russell. The Appellate Court seems to agree with him. He is look ing well and appears happj*. I never see the judge these days but what I think of his expenses In his recent campaign for a seat on the Appellate bench. He cert'fled to the chairman of the Democratic State executive committee that his expenditures In making the race amounted to four dol lars and seventy cents ($4.70)* How is that for the simple life Almost Ar cadian, isn't it? And this $4.70 rep resented the fare of one railroad trip, and the cost of a telephone message, which expenses were really incurred before Dick knew for certain that he was a cand'date.

He will assume the active i through the agency of the war—and saying that the Harrlman episode “is overshadowed by the more sensational statements of the President concerning the conspiracy which he says Is now being planned to defeat the policies for which Theodore Roosevelt stands.” The Post says, “For some weeks the President has henrd rumors and re ports, accompanied by mors or less circumstantiality of detail, concerning the organized opposition to the Admin istration. According to the story told at the White House yesterday, corrob oration of a startling character con- earning what he has been pleased to call a ‘conspiracy’ was had at a dinner given <%cently, where a number of dis tinguished Republicans, influential not only In a political but In a financial way, were guests. This dinner was given for the purpose of discussing the general political situation. When it was held or where, are details that are carefully suppressed, as the friends of the President evidently do not wish to permit the precise occasion to leak out.” Here Is another earmark of a "fake" sensation. The fact that the President can suppress the where and the when and the who of such a story Is the best evidence to be had that It never oc curred. If the Incident had escaped the newspapers 'n the first Instance, an exceedlngjy anfikely happening, they would vary quickly unearth It, in spite of all the President could do to pre vent It. A third mark of Improbability Is the grouping of Rockefeller, Harrlman and Hearst together as the “Big” Three of l he conspiracy. Stranger things have happened, but seeing will be indispen sable to believing this. One of the tricks by which the Pres ident's candidate and policies are to be defeated, we are gravely told, Is this: the conspirators in States where the President Is very popular are to bring about the election of Roosevelt dele gates, well knowing Roosevelt will de cline the nomination, and then the votes of the delegates, who are to be the right sort of men, will be cast at the dictation of the combination.
