Gopcevie Allows Maestretti to
Make New Inroads on Wealth
Financing of Sovereigns of America
Destined to Be Losing Venture
George A. Van Smith
Miles Gopcevic's Investment In the
awe Inspiring sovereigns of America
bids fair to develop Into one of the
• comparatively few unprofitable ven
tures in high finance undertaken by
' the , carman capitalist. His political
Investment looks but little more prom
ising: than that In, the defunct F. M.
' York & ; Co., parers, which he finan
ciered for. himself and Maestretti.
Regardless of the astuteness shown
:by Oopcevle In business he has gen
. «ralljr displayed a disposition to fall
'. tor the rood things worked out in the
fertile brain of . Promoter Maestretti.
; He was .the Morgan behind the bank
. for Macs trett l's , paving concern, which
was to get a generous share of the
, etrcet work at living prices. He put
; Maestretti in with him in the skating
| rink business, and now he is spending
' his money In an attempt to put Maes
i trettl back into politics, expected to
S be more profitable than either paving
or roller skates.
'Black robed, red cowled sovereigns
; of America were not so cheap as they
• appeared, to be, but anything that
j would land Maestretti in the seat of
the late Ruef was not to be consiQ
ered a luxury. Ruef and Schmltz were
'In Jail. Maestretti had the scheme.
I Gopcevie had the money.
POOR RUX FOR MONEY
-The Sovereigns of America and R.
. H. Countryman, candidate for* mayor.
,l, l \u25a0were developed promptly upon the
: reopening of the Gopcevie purse. Pos-
Eibly Maestretti, with that impetuous
I disregard for minor details character
' lstlc of promoters, neglected to advise
Gopcevie that the capture of two swal
. lows by the prosecution did not In
Itself constitute a Maestretti political
' spring.
In any event Gopcevie stands to get
even a poorer run for his money than
he did throagh F. M. York & Co.
' Viewed In the light of the honest ap
. portlonment -which the reform, wing
of the republican party forced from
the Herrln machine, Maestretti would
' be only a factor in the convention if
-the mystics financed by Gopcevie won
out in each of the districts invaded by
them.
. Coupled with those delegations which
Crimmins hopes to frame up with rail
road money, the sovereigns stand to
poll a minority of the convention. At
best, to figure In the control of the
convention they must lie down to the
big boss Herrln. and that Is scarcely
an Insurance that tha anticipated good
things will all flow to the wampum
producer xtt the sovereigns, even if a
machine ticket should be nominated
'and elected.
- * Maestretti has his sovereigns at work
.In the thirty-third, thirty-sixth, thir
ty-ninth, forty-first and forty-third dis
.tricts. These districts will be entitled
to 44 out of 149 delegates In the local
convention. Crimmins* men claim that
the rejuvenated railroadman will car
ry the twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth,
thirtieth, thirty-first and thirty-second
districts, with a total of 21 delegates.
Granting all this, their combined
strength in convention would be 65
votes.
FRAME SCHMITZ DEALS BLOW
But Maestretti and Crimmins .are
.both to get a fight all along the line.
Maestretti has managed to carry the
thirty-ninth by comparatively small
.•margin. This margin . has been wiped
out by Keeper Schmitz of the alms
house, who has registered the . unfor
tunate inmates of his establishment as
members of the union labor party, and
thus shut them out of the republican
primaries.
The regular republican league, head
ed in the thirty-ninth by *:. T. McMur
ray. has carefully organized the dis
trict and hopes to get out a represen
tative vote on August 13. If this hope
Is realized, the district and its 18 del
egates will become a debit charge on
the Gopcevie books.
The thirty- third Is entitled to eight
delegates. In that district Assembly
.'man Paul Fratessa and John T. Pid
well of the city and county committee
have Joined hands with the regular
dub.* That organization has named a
delegate ticket that stands more than
"an even chance of winning and \u25a0 put
ting another item In the "loss" account
in the Gopcevic ledger.
The same kind of fight will be put
.up by the league In the other districts,
but If It wins in only these two, the
Maestretti influence in the convention
will be an asset wholly Incommensur
ate with the Investment in robes and
..rituals for the sovereigns.
. SUBSCRIPTIONS HEAVY
Republican Rank and File Eager to
*'. : Fight Corporation Rule
' The novelty of paying their own
campaign expenses to the exclusion of
the corporations and their generous
rolls has evidently appealed to the
rank and file . of the . republican j>arty.
The. leaders of the regular <\u25a0 republican '!
lea^vi*. organized to- fight corporate
control of the republican party and
convention, are delighted with the re
ception accorded their appeal for a
popular subscription.
"(The major portion of the letters ad
<3/essed to republican voters by Treas
urer Paul Bancroft could not have
reached the voters addressed when the
responses began to come In yesterday.
Th© character 'of the letters recelvd
and of the subscriptions ls Indicative of
a disposition on the part of those re
publicans who have never been identi
fied with politics to take . up arms
against the system of corporate boss-
Ism that has deprived the party of
power and a- hold on popular respect.
Contributions •of from $1 , to $5, made
hymen who have no axes to grind, no
personal political purposes to serve,
*nean a big republican vote at the pri
mary electionsS^Such a vote means
honest delegates, a clean republican
ticket and the return of the republican
party to power after years of .wallow
ing In the mire of corporate control. -
Not all the : assurances of ' support,
moral and financial. \u25a0 came from : men
able to give only a few 'dollars. '\u25a0: Some
of the promises were for, subscriptions
that would appear niggardly In com
parison with a railroad sack, but
showed that the businessmen of San
Francisco too; have waked to the ne
cessity of a ' political ; house cleaning
that will ' inspire eastern confidence..
Based on the comparatively few re
plies received :. yesterday the
leaders are confident that the' popular
subscription will produce sufficient
funds to meet the modest legitimate
expenses that they must incur In- their
campaign for a' full primary vote. \u25a0' '

FORAKER RAPS TAFT
ON HIS TARIFF VIEWS
Senator Declares He Cannot
Favor Candidacy of
War Secretary
CINCINNATI, July 29.— That it is Im
possible for him under present* condi
tions to favor the . presidential candi
dacy, of Secretary of War Taft is the
statement of United States Senator For
aker in a letter given out here today.
The letter is addressed to C. J. Mc-
Coy of Coshocton, a member of the
republican state committee, and is In-;
tended as the expression of the sena
tor's views to be presented when th©
committee meets at Columbus
row. \'
Th Interview of Governor Harris, -in
which he favored the indorsement ;of
Foraker for senator and Taft for presi
dent, encourages the suggestion of his
own name for another term as gover
nor, and various recent publications are
taken as the text for the letter, which
In part is as follows:
I learn from the newspaper and otherwise that
it is claimed, as a reason for the proposed ac
tton. that Secretary Taft Is the only candidate
Ohio has for the presidency, and that on such ac
count, from sentiments of state pride, we should
tinlte In his support, and for that reason- the
committee should take the proposed action at
this time so that the whole country may be ad
vised as to what Ohio intends to do next year.
I see it stated almost every day in the news
papers as a reason for the claim that Ohio has
only one candidate for the presidency that I
hare not at any time announced my candidacy
for that office. It Is true that I hare never
made any -such announcement. A candidate for
the presidency must assume, first, the sreat and
Berious responsibility of leading his party In the
national camnalgn, and If successful, as we hope
' and expect him to be. he must then assume the
pare and serious responsibilities of administer
ing the executWe office. - . "
.u l i !,*! ,* * >ecause l entertain opinions of, this kind
that I hare not made any, announcement- of any
candidacy for any office, and.' in view of what
may be inferred from these expressions. I do not
deem It necessary that I should. But thls^Js not
a matter to be settled by- sentiments of state
pride, commendable as they are. If there were
not any differences of opinion among republicans
£ * te PP r We would properly have irreat weight,
£,. od * y there ls a wlde "difference among rel
publicans on. a question of the most vital char
.Ja 4° n » ot "£•" to tbe reeulation of railroads
ana trusts and corporations engaged in Inter
state commerce and large aggregations of cap!*
tal^ for on lhat point there is no substantial dlf?
Terence of opinion amdbg Republicans, except
a* to the methods that should be resorted to for
such regnlatlon. The question I refer to is not
regulation of trusts, railroads and Interstate
all united, but the tariff question.
Te F rp Pibllcan has a right to espouse an 7
Tlew he may . entertain, and inasmuch as Gover
nor Harris represents that such Is his view I
do not wonder that he prefers Secretary Taft
as his candidate for the presidency, for on a
number of occasions Secretary Taft has taken
PmmLi \u2666 ann ° unce "» at ne is In favor of .in
Immediate revision of our tariff. I -observe also
that most of the leading supporters of Secrdtarv
Taxt In our 'state entertain similar views, ac
cording to the expressions I have seen attribu
ted to them in the newspapers, notably amon;
them ex-Governor Herriek and the Hoa Theo
dore E. Burton. - .
When, therefore, we are asked to commit
ourselves to the candidacy of Secretary Taft
we must do It with the fact in mind that be
entertains the views he has expressed on the
subject and that if we make him our candidate
the campaign, of a necessity, must be a cam
paign for a revision downward of the tariff
schedules under which the country " has- been
brought not only to an unprecedented but to a
universal prosperity.
If we postpone the matter of settling our
preference as to a candidate until \u25a0 we can go
before the people and discuss this question, as
we will have an opportunity to do if we select
our delegates to the next ' convention at pri
maries, our • respective views can be presented
and the people can Judge between us and thns
act Intelligently. Therefore, without further ad
vices it is impossible for me. notwithstanding '
the high character and great\abllity \u25a0 and the
distlngnlßhed Rervlces of Secretary Taft, to
favor his candidacy., .

people, i who ' have i frequently been i subjected Ito
unjust i and* abusive. treatment at-.th« hands 'of
the lawless element prevailing there. - . j
I The rights jof i education were ; denied to" them. ;
Their | houses I hare repeatedly I been \ attacked and i

the treaty / rights iof /Japanese vof that • section
disregarded, but ' also their persons and property
are * exposed to \u25a0 serious J danger. / • \u25a0
