The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1910-08-17
BEVERLY HAS A
PROGRAM FIXED
AIdrlch, Cannon and BalIlnger
TO Be Cast Overheard
THAT IS NOW THE LATEST WORD

Voyage, the Republicans Have De-
cided to Tighten the Vessel of What
the Leaders Consider membranes,
and 1t Is Declared That Said Incun-
ORANGES Acquiesce in Their Fate.
Beverly. Mass, Aug. 13.-If the
plans of the new leaders of the Re-
publican party bear fruit, and the lead
ers think they will, Speaker Joseph g.
Cannon will not again WELD the gavel
in the house of representatives. He
is marked for political destruction. II
other plans of those same leaders do
not fail, Secretary of the Interior Bal
linger will retire from President Tafts
cabinet shortly after the congression-
al investigating committee reports
next month
Ballinger was marked for destruc-
ton and the end, 1t is said here, is al
ready in sight. 1t has become plain
that Nelson W. Aldrich will not again
be candidate for the senate from
Rhode Island. He, too, was set down
by the new leaders OF the party as one
who must go. The word went forth
some time ago that Aldrich must not
run again. 1t has been made known
definitely that he will not run In the
retirement OF Mr.. Ballinger. the elm
ination of Speaker Cannon and the
withdrawal of Senator Aldrich from
public life, the leaders feel that they
have trimmed the Republican ship for
its voyage toward the fall elections.
They think that from the shoulders OF
President Taft three burdens which
he has carried long have been re-
moved Some go so far as to say that
in no other way can they face the
coming fight with any chance of sue
cess. They do not say that Mr.. Taft
has been responsible for all these acts,
but they point with pride to the good
effect they will have on the country.
II is understood in Beverly at least,
that in Ballinger, Speaker Cannon and
Senator Aldrich, the insurgents have
found more material for their battles
with the regulars than in anything the
Taft administration has done OF failed
to do. 1t is said in some places that
the discouraging results in Kansas and
Iowa are to be attributed to the fact
that the insurgents harped much upon
the connection between the admins
traton and these three men.
Neither Secretary Ballinger, Senator
Aldrich nor Speaker Cannon found his
elimination tasteful, ii is said here
The senator announced his retirement
months ago, but for time there was
feeling that he might run again, just
the same, If pressed to do so. This is
what the west thought according to
information that came to Beverly. And
on that fact the west pondered much,
not to the advantage OF the Republi-
cans. Secretary Ballinger has always
declared that he would not retire
But both he and Aldrich were per-
suaded SO the story goes, to sacrifice
themselves for the good of the party.
Cannon by his speeches in Kansas,
some of those in touch with affairs de-
clare, did much to help the insurgents
gain a victory. That fact perhaps
was the last straw that determined
those who are attempting the rejuve-
nation OF the party to tell Mr.. Cannon,
II he does not know II already, that he
must not run for speaker again. 1t is
said on behalf OF Cannon that he has
already told close friends that he was
not to be considered IN the contest for
the speakership II the next house goes
Republican. If the leaders prevail, the
country will know long before the cleo
tions in November that the admins
traitor has done with Balllnger, AL
drich and Cannon.
