with a minimum of ado. President
Taft has done deal of political CON
ferrlng IN the flag end of his so-called
ten days vacation and during the brief
interim between that vacation and his
ten days cruise along the Maine shore.
There has been no blowing of trumpets
as the leaders came this way No effort
was made to advertise their coming or
their going. And through this quiet
progress the President has sailed away
with pretty clear idea about the
status in some of the CONFERENCE.-The
where the battle is to be waged fercely.
Standing out conspicuously in these
mid-July powwows have been the Ohio
sessions. The State convention at Co
lumbus viii have met and adjourned
before President Taft is back from his
Maine cruise. He is naturally deeply
interested in the doings of the Repub-
lican factions in that convention. Ohio
is his home State and the Democrats
there are up and coming. The Presi-
dent must inevitably be the party lead
er in Buckeyedom and the success or
failure of the Republican ticket there
in November must affect his prestige
and his administration

OHIO PILGRIMS.

The vanguard of the Chic pilgrims
to Beverly late in the week was com
posed of Senator Charles Dick of Akron,
and Presidential Manager Wade H. Ell
lis of Cincinnati. Senator Dick tele-
graphed up from Washington to know
if he might see the President. There
was an affirmative response, but the
President friends at Beverly took
pains to emphasize that Senator Dick
came only as friendly Republican and
that the President would be glad to
see him as such. They explained that
the senator was not the President :
spokesman in Ohio and that he would
take no authoritative word from the
President to Ohio Republicans.
Just about the time when the hour
was ripe for Senator Dick to hail a
Beverly taxicab for Burgess Point, a
telephone message came in from Glou-
cester that the Honorable Wade Ellis,
the former trust buster of the depart
ment OF Justice VINO has bce1 thS"5N"
in composing the Republican factions
in Ohio for a number of months, was
at the neighboring city of Gloucester
and desired an audience with the Presl'
dent.
Up he came 2:40 so as to be on hand
when Senator Dick called at Burgess
Point with an armful of large govern,
ment envelopes. These envelopes, II
might be explained, contained letters

Woods Hundreds Of invitations are
now coming to him from New England,
many of them social invitations. but
he is disposed TO remain at Beverly
practically all of the time, after he

That, while ostensiblv for pleasure,
viii afford him opportunity to get into

only definite engagement the President
has accepted for that cruise has been

planned to go down to st. James, Long

for the summer. Then Mrs Norton
came to Beverly where she was taken
i'll and had to undergo an operation
for appendicitis. In the meantime. in
stead of seeing Mr.. Loeb on Long
Island, as he had originally planned
Secretary Norton asked permission to
invite Mr.. Loeb to Beverly and So it
was that Mr. Loeb came. The secretary
and the eX-secretary to the President
talked long and intima telv about many
subjects, including the work of the
secretary to the President. Mr.. Loeb
went out to see President Taft, rode
with the latter to the golf links and
met him later at luncheon. The Presi
dent told some friends he was glad &c
see Mr. Loeb whom he regarded as a
very levelheaded man. All of which
was calculated to make for more har
mony between the President and the
eX-president in the approaching con
gressional and State campaign.

AFRAID OF PINCHOT.

Apparently this is to be the only i'm
portant speech the President will make
for many weeks. He has an invitation
to attend the conservation congress at
St. Paul in September. Over that con
gress there is already raging a lively
political contest x-Forester Clifford
Pinchot, as president of the conserva-
ton organization. has it in charge and
seems to be trying to make it a polit
zeal occasion for the expression of
heteredox views. This has alarmed the
Minnesota Republicans who fear Mr..
Pinchot will set on foot an agitation
at st. Paul which will interfere with
the success of their campaign. Colonel
Roosevelt has accepted an invitation to
attend the congress and now the Min
nesota Republicans want President Taft
to be sure to come.
The President will be slow about ac-
cepting that invitation, although it is
possible he Will 90 to St. Paul and de-
liver an address. Much will depend
upon the political developments in
August.

WATCHING OYSTER BAY.

Something like this came to pass.
During all the activities at Oyster Bay
President Taft showed no sign of in
terest and no word of comment escaped
him regarding the engagement of
Colonel Roosevelt to speak for Senator
Beverage, insurgent, or regarding other
activities in which insurgents had HIM
placed in the headlines over the Oyster
Bay dateline But one day Colonel Roos-
evelt himself announced that he had
declared neither in favor Of the lnsur-
gents, nor of the regulars. This caused
a raising of eyebrows at Beverly but
nothing more It could be but d rebuff
to the insurgents who had been going
away with faces wreathed in broad
smiles and uttering words of high but
not altogether well defined satisfaction,
That was a ''cooler' for the insur-
gents, although it was not quite as ful-
some regarding the regulars as Beverly
might like. But there was reasoning
that Colonel Roosevelt still had plenty
of time to come into the harmony tent,
where the big show was IN progress.

were quite well satisfied and claim
that he is still playing the winning
hand

SECRETARIES ON HAND.

There have been many plays on the
political chessboard, however, during

Senator ". Murray Crane, Of Massachu-
sets. upon whom the President prob
ably relies more than upon any othe,
Republican in congress, was sent for.
Secretary Charles Nagel, of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, who halls
from Missouri and is probably the best
politician in the cabinet, was also asked
to come to Beverly, as was Attorney
General Wickersham, upon whom the
President relies in legal matters. All
three were at the President S the same
afternoon and conyersed at great length
upon political subjects. Senator Crane
aud Secretary Nagel are understood to
have voiced the view that the President
could well afford to avoid any appear
ance of trying to placate Colonel
Roosevelt and that he would do better
to stand forth independently and play
his own hand. with assurance that

WILL ADDRESS PILGRIMS.

In that connection the Pres dent sud
denly accepted an invitation the other
day to attend on August ) the dedica
ton of the Pilgrim monument at
Provincetown. Mass. That is within
short distance of Plymouth and is
claimed to have been the landing place
Of the Pilgrims rather than Plymouth.
The dedication is to be a notable affair
and many eminent men will be there.
The President s unexpected acceptance
of the invitation which had been lying
upon his desk for some weeks is be
lieved to have political significance.
He had no speaking dates Of any impor-
lance but is understood to have some
matters on his mind, which he will be
ready soon to make public.
In that connection it is worth bear
ing in mind that three years ago Presl-
dent Roosevelt came up from Oyster
Bay to Law the cornerstone of the Pill
grims monument The cornerstone lay
ing was a very big affair. All the
prominent State officials of Massachu-
sets attended, as did British Ambassa

+ cornerstone laying made one of the
greatest addresses of his last ADM mis-
tration dealing with current political
. questions, especially with railroad rate
regulation. 1t is believed that Presi-
dent Taft contemplates utilizing the
! occasion for more or less momentous
address regarding the policies and
problems of his administration. The
occasion is understood to offer him an
opportunity just such as he desired,
