Republican Leaders Plan
ning National Election to
Cret Rid of President Yuan
Shanghai, Aug. 22. Republican
leaders started ; a. strong movement,
todiy, iri favor of an 'immediate na
tional jelection. Their-plan is to vote
President Yuan Shi Kai out of f office.
Yuan is only : provisional , president.
The republicans remark, that, though
he' .talksr of an election, he shows no
sign of calling it. They believe they
can' force him either to call; one or
admit virtually that' he has establish
ed a dictatorship, v ; , - " , , ,' .
, Undoubtedly- the national . jassem
blys abandonment, Yesterday, of the
impeachment proceedings it had de
cided . to begin against his premier
and war minister, was a- victory for
Yuan. The president intimidated the
lawmakers, -who, ; surrounded by f His
Excellency's , troops and mindful : of
the Teadiness with which he resorts
to violence . when. diplomacy fails,
realized that their lives were in- his
hands and lacked the courage of fool
hardiness, i to defy him. 1
The nature of the explanation with
which Jie Is said to -have "satisfied"
the;. Hepeh . delegates that he was
justified . in i executing their . fellow in -dividuals,
the two "Hup" Generals
may be judged from- the .fact that,
despite: all' "the , pressure he brought
T 1 xi - - n .1.. A

actionary acts were committed." . " .

VERACITY ISSUE
BETWEEN PENROSE
AND CORTELYOU
Col. Eposevelt and His Cam
paign Manager - Are of
Course Out With State
ments Against ; Pennsyl
vania: Senator.
Washington, Aug. 22 That the issue
of veracity raised between Senator
Penrose, of. Pennsylvania, and former
National Republican Chairman George
B. Cortelyou, over the reputed contri
butions made, to the Republican cam
paign fund of -1304 by the Standard
Oil Company, will be threshed out by
the Senate committee which isr'now in
vestigating campaign finances, was the
belief at th capital today.
: In his reply to implications , raised
by publication "of the alleged letters
to him from John D. Archbold. of; the
Standard Oil Company, Senator Pen
rose asserted to the Senate thtit the
oil trust'had contributed 12a.&0O to th
republican war - chest in 19M; that
.Kooseveit, the nominee, and Cortelyou,
the chairman, had been advised of this
gift, which was received by' the late
Corniilius Bliss, then treasurer, f and
that both Cortelyou - and' 'Roosevelt
appreciated this contribution and sent
word to Archbold - that they would
"appreciate still more" the receiDt of
$150,000 additional from Archbold and
nis standard Oil associates.' ;
When Cortelyou appeared before the
Clapp committee, which , is crobinx
contributions in the 1904 and 190S cam
paigns, ne swore tnat no contributions
had been made by "any . trusts" and
that he had never heard : of Archbold
or any of his associates adding, to the
Republican funds. . ir . , '
Senator Clapp was. not certain today
whether his ,,'committee could immed
iately test 1 out the veracity issue . thus
raised because of the end of the session-rush
of business. " The fact that
both .the ' T regulars" who support the"
Penrose version, and the progressives,
who desire that Roosevelt ' bevcleared
of the charge , of, accepting , "tainted
money" for, his campaign, are insisting
on the investigation was; believed vby
leaders to ? make ' certain a oimplete'

Roosevelt .informed - Cortelyou ' not to

mm 'tnat no such contributions . had

That Colonel , Roosevelt . anticipated
the statements contained "in -Senator

texts , of the ; telegrams and letters

conclusion of his talk to ,-the news
paper men, the Bull ' Moose candidate
indicated that he was ready ; to meet
any further charges brought forward
by Penrose or any other charges grow
ing out of the Inquiry? at Washington.
If necessary, . is thought . that
Roosevelt will ; be willing to appear
before the investigating committee in
person. In that ,event ie would ex
