WARRINGTON, Feb. 14.-Repub-
lican congressman, taking Presi.
dent Taft's Lincoln day speech at
New York ~ their keynote, today
prepared their first shot for the
congressional campaign next
autumn.
Encouraged by the general opin-
Ion that the speech was the most
powerful one he ever delivered, the
regulars" decided to take advan-
tage Of Taft's aggressiveness by
having the speech made available
for ''franking" through the mails by
making 1t a part of the Congression-
al Record.
Comment on the speech today in
republican ranks was generally fav-
orable. The insurgents, however,
qualified their approval, and most Of
them objected to Taft's defense or
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
The most striking feature of the
speech is generally recognized as
set forth by one middle western
senator, who said:
Heretofore, in his desire to
please, President Taft has appeared
to temporize. He spoke courageous
ly Saturday night. The people like
aggressive and we'll defined leader
ship"
Representative Hayes, of Cali
fornia, one of the leaders of the in
surgents in the house, said that he
liked the speech for it's lack of dodg-
ing, but would not discuss it's prob
able effect in the west.

Furlong, 81 years of age, is dead
today in this city. Furlong was
member of "The Virginian" COM
pany. Shortly after he had gone
to his room in his hotel last night,
he felt coming upon him the recur-
rent heart trouble to which he was
subject.
Furlong had a presentiment that
he would succomb to the attack,
and hurriedly walked to the hotel

GEN. MAUS MUST EX-

asked to be retired on the basis of
80 years service. The colonel is
so fixed financially that he is in
dependent of his pay as an army
officer and is not worrying about
the possibility of his retirement
from active duty. But his pride as
an officer has been severely
wounded by the order from Gen
eral Maus, which he considers a
severe setback. He also believes
that the order will bar his promo
ton to the command of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, which would
follow soon, as Colonel Hoyt, in
command at the present, is soon
20 be promoted to brigadier-gener-
al. This regiment is the one that
figured in the famous Browns
vile episode.
General Maus, it is said, consid-
cred that the army had been de-
graded by being dragged into the
l. w. w. fight. He is said to be-
lieve that the facts did not at all
justify the army in lending the use
of Fort Wright prison to suppress
an affair that was purely
civilian matter, in which those in
;erested had not even attempted
violence toward the city.
To make his position doubly
sure, General Maus had his right
hand man, Major Bell, go into the
l. w. w. affair last week, and Bell,
it is understood, reported the l. w.
w. struggle in it's true light and
that then the order removing
Colonel Abercrombie followed.
1t is also charged that Colonel
Abercrombie was unduly active in
publicity matters and that his ad-
jutant, Lieutenant Sykes, acted as
publicity agent by doing duty as a
correspondent for a Spokane morn
ing newspaper, and that the dope"
went out from Fort Wright in a
manner that did not please some
of his brother officers. This help
ed to stir up a feeling of jealousy
which did not improve the situa-
ton when Major Bell was here last
week.
