ATMOSPHERE IS
 CLEARED BY TAFT RooSeveIt'S Candidate Talks or
 Politics FIGHT IN MANY STATES New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana May Be Lined Up Against Dlctation by the
 Administration.

Washington, August a-(Special. .)- Politicians figure that Secretary Tafts speech has by clearing the political at of the presidential campaign Mir. Taft was some time ago selected by the President as his choice of candidates, to continue the Roosevelt policies. Mr Taft has by his speech last night, agreed to undertake the task, and has put himself on record as being in thorough accord wilh the Roosa, efs policies M fr
 From now on, the politicians say. it will be for the people to decide whether they want to indorse those policies. They can register that intention by sending Taft delegations to the republican na- tional convention. No other candidate among the avalaples it is pointed out, has declared himself as eauivocally for the Roosevelt ideas, therefore MT. Taft will stan as personification in politics of those ideas.
 New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will determine the outcome. It will be a struggle between the men who hAt.erto have controlled republican politics in t..- SC states and the rank and file of the others. Roosevelt-Taft people call t..cmselves progressive repub- licans." Those who do not indorse every thig Roosevelt and Taft have declared for will be probably style themselves conservatives.
 There is said to be not the least ques- tion that strong opposition to Mir Taft's nomination will immeditey be developed in New York and Pennsylvania; also in Indiana and Illinois
 The keenest struggle will come in New York state. Roosevelt is expected to use his utmost endeavor to swing the Empire state for the candidate of his choice That effect is expected to be opposed by the friends of Govrnor Hughes
 Pennsylvania Is expected to stand pat for Knox. In Illinois it will be a struggle at the primaries between the progressives and the conservatives.
 The progressives are regarded as having this advantage in every state, They have definite candidate, MT. Taft. The con servatives are not united on one man, but have to hold their delegations to- gether on a principle
 Politicians commented upon MT. Taft's frequent references to MT. Bryan draw ing the conclusion that MT. Taft looks upon Mir. Bryan as the probable demo- cratic nominee He is beginning far in advance of the expected campaign to combat the Bryan theories and to draw the attention of the voters to the diffrence between --s own ideas and those of the presumed democratic candidate.

At 10 o'clock several parties tried to get in the front door. We turned all the lights out except one over the sidewalk and another over the inside counter There was not much doing with the exception of kicking on the doors until 10:15 o'clock, when we saw a man come from the direction of the Harvey house. He stopped at the front door and fired three shots. One went through a glass door In front and another through a glass door the side. It was quiet then until 2:10 a. m. when three men fired another yolley. breaking more glass At 3 o'clock the crowd came again and fired more than a dozen shots. The lights left burning were shot out One of the last shots fired was aimed ap- parently at a cot on which Sutton, one of our men, was sleeping.

Among republicans who place party sue cess above the success of any individual. the state of affairs in Ohio is anything but pleasing, and while the outlook for peace seems hopeless, they insist that the breach should be healed at any cost, and there Is a chance that this element may prevail before the next election. In the meantime. the democrats are boasting in the open and the party leaders appear confident of being able to deliver this state to the democratic nominee in the next presidential election.
