REORGANIZATION PLAN
Arrangements MAPPED Out for Future
Operations of Republican Leaders
Eliminates Speaker OF House
President Soon to Begin Keynote
Letter.
By Associated rrrssJ

BEVERLY, MASS. Aug. 17-For
nearly three hours this afternoon
President Taft. and .VicePresident
Sherman talked over the defeat of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt by the
New York state Republican committee
yesterday and the selection of Mr..
Sherman over Mr. Roosevelt as tenn
porary chairman of the Saratoga con
vention.
Mr.. Sherman said he had no inten-
ton of Withdrawing in favor of Mr..
Roosevelt and he treated lightly the
stories that there might be a fgh;
to repudiate the action of the state
committee in the convention.
The vice-president also talked with
the President regarding the congress
sional campaign. He wanted tho
fight to be waged along the old lines
At Mr.. Sherman's solicitation Presi
dent Taft agreed to point the way
in the campaign by writing a letter
which is to be made a part of the
campaign text book of the Republi-
can committee.
Cannon Must Go.
While the fight apparently is TO
be directed along the lines of the
past. it can be said authoritative!y
that the feature OF the party re-or-
ganization plans which calls for the
retirement of Speaker J. G. Cannon.
will be strictly adhered to. II is
even said that Mr.. Sherman. one OF
the staunchest supporters the speak
er ever had. has become reconciled
to the fact that Mr.. Cannon must go.
A statement is being prepared in
quarters close to the administration,
in which the attitude recently taken
by Mr.. Cannon in public interviews,
will be declared.
President Taft will begin work at
to be the keynote Of the congress
ional campaign. He will address the
communication to Representative VIII
liam p. Mckinley. of Illinois, chair
man of the Republican congressional
committee. Mr. Sherman urged the
President to make the tariff a prOmi-
nent issue.
con the ground that il is the best
tariff bin ever enacted was suggest
ed by an interviewer.
Il have never said it was the best
tariff bill ever passed" replied Mfr.
Sherman. Stability is the real test
OF tariff act If the Payne law
stands longer thar. the Dingiey law
stood. then it will have proved itself
a better law. If il does not stand as
long, then it won't be as good a law
Explains to President.
With regard to New York. especial
ly with regard to the state committee.
Mr.. Sherman said he had explained
matters to the President as far as
he understood them.
did you explain the turn down Of
Colonel Roosevelt"
Il don't know that Mr. Roosevelt
vaS turned down. | only know thai
another man was selected as ten
porary chairman Of the convention I"
Mr.. sherman. il is said. did not give
the President very roseate view of
the general situation.
Mr.. Sherman holds the reputation
.: never predicting Republican sue
cess unless he feels sure Of himself.
He Is not making any predictions this
year.
