day may be an aftermath of the one here
tomorrow. and that Loeb. with the in
dorsement of President Taft. viii get
those of his former chief and OF the
governor.
Mr.. Loeb believes that there viii be a
pretty scrap this fall between Mayor Gay
nor and William r. Hearst. and that In
consequence there will be fine ready
made opportunities for the Republican
party TO win victory
Not Roosevelt Emissary.
II is known that Mr.. Loeb did not come
TO Beverly as an emissary from Col.
Roosevelt to patch up peace between him
and the executive. Mr. Loeb is said to
understand that there is no difference OF
opinion in vital matters between the two
men. The collector saw the colonel on
Wednesday, and nobody who met him to-
night gained the impression that ne was
in Beverly to fix up differences. which,
II they existed. might lead TO Republican
defeat In the fall.
Z. D. Norton, secretary TO President
Taft asked Mr.. Loeb 10 lay off from his
duties for a day and come up 10 Bev-
eriy. Mr.. Norton acted with the knoWi-
edge OF President Taft, but Mr.. Loeb, 1t
was said. did not consult with Col
Roosevelt before he left New York The
former President knew nothing about the
visit al all but IT was the general opin-
ion that Mr.. Loeb would not have come
unless he knew how matters stood be-
tween Beverly and Oyster Bay.
With the arrival Of Mr.. Loeb on the
scene, too. the Beverly politicians found
explanations for the attitude of Col
Roosevelt toward Senators Beverage.
Bristow. and La Toilette. and Repre-
sentauves Madison. Poindexter. and Muir
dock.
Aids Both Factions.
It became known tonight that the col
onel promised Senator Beveridge to speak
in his behalf in the Indiana campaign,
because he had already promised Sena-
tor Lodge Of Massa chusetts. to speak IN
the latter's interest in this State. Mr..
Beverage is reported as having pointed
out to Col Roosevelt that Lodge is re-
garded by many as one OF the reaction
aries Of the Senate. If Col. Roosevelt
could stump for him, the friends of Bev-
eridge are reported as saying. why
couldn't he speak for the grand young
man, the progressive and old friend OF
the Roosevelt policies.
AS to the rest. Col Roosevelt was
friendly with them all He could not re-
fuse 10 see any acquaintance OF standing
Il they desired 10 climb 70 Sycamore
Hill. The insurgents OF progressives re-
gard the colonel as their prototype. and
they all wanted to talk to him and pour
their troubles IN his ears when he got
back from the great hunt.
Tonight SECRETARY Loeb had dinner
with Secretary Norton and gave him his
views on things in general. In the talk
tomorrow he-expects, il was said, TO
go carefully over the ground with Mr..
Taft.
Has Faith in Loeb.
The President has great faith in the
collectors political sagacity, and prob
ably viii rely on his advice.
Just what plan Of campaign will be
made, II any is drawn up at all, is prob
lematical The President is due to
have four days OF rest and next Mon
day he is TO sail up the Maine coast In
that time 1t Is not believed that he will !
bother much about politics.
IN the three days that intervene be- |
tween the complete rest here and the |
one on shipboard, however, Mr., Taft may
occasionally see politicians OF more or |
less weight. The White House intimated |
tonight that the conference with Mr.. |
Loeb might be followed by others.
If this is correct. no doubt by the latter |
part of the month the President Will be |
in close touch with conditions everv- !
where. He is scheduled 10 make ten
day tour Of the Middle or Far West IN
the fan. and on this trip is expected 10
deliver some hot speeches. The details
of his voyage into the West have not
been completed, but It Is the plain un-
derstandlng that politics will figure in II. !
Mr.. Loeb reached Beverly late this
evening. He came alone and is stopping
at the Fairfax Hotel He will leave
Beverly for New York tomorrow night,
ne said
It was announced to-day that when
Taft sails north to Bar Harbor he will
hpt set out OF NOuch with tne country /
There is a wireless on the Mayflower. |
on which the trip is TO be made. and IL
will be resorted TO by the President to
talk to some Of the White House force
here or at Washington.
The President, according to the best in /
formation. has thought but little about !
the vacant chief justiceship. Gov. |
Hughes is still known, however, to be by |
far the most likely man. While there |
have been reports that Senator Root |
might be named for the place, they are |
discredited here.
senator Root Too Old.
The President has declared that he /
wishes to pane for that place a man be-
tween forty and fifty years of age, who |
might serve a long and tremendously /
useful term as bead Of the great court. |
This alone would bar Senator Root, who |
is now sixty-dve years old.
1t is believed, too, that the President
would prefer Coy. Hughes for other. rea-
sons. although this alone is thought here
TO be sufficient TO put the Senator out of
the question.
