(By United Press Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Those
who are on the inside in admins
tration affairs are inclined to be-
leve that President Taft is more
than willing to meet the insurgent
element of the republican party
more than half way in order that
the work of the administration may
be better facilitated
One man. who is in a position to
know, said today:
"Roosevelt's victory at Saratoga
makes it apparent that if the ad-
ministration would accomplish any
thing of Importance this winter, it
must come out strongly progress
sive."
Taft is expected to incorporate
his plans for his fall campaign in
his speech to be delivered at New
York city Saturday. The president
is determined to accomplish all that
is possible during the short session
of congress.
The victory of Colonel Roosevelt
is expected to prove stimulus to
insurgency all over the country.

REPUBLICANS
OFF TO DOVER
State Committee Will Meet
Tonight to Plan Details Of
Convention Organization
STATE AUDITOR CLARK ILL,
MAY NOT BE RENAMED

The Republican State committee
will have a meeting at the Hotel Rich
ardson in Dover tonight to plan the
details for the organization Of the
State convention on Wednesday morn
ing. Aside from agreeing upon tenn
porary chairman and a permanent
chairman for the convention, the State
committee will have very little to do.
The list OF delegates to the conven-
ton is to be handed in to the State
committee tonight.
The convention tomorrow will elect
new State committee. Until the
committee is selected it is said that
the chairmanship will not come up,
but the new committee will meet for
organization within a few days af-
ter Il is chosen.
Delegates to the State convention
from Wilmington should bear I'm mind
that the train for Dover now leaves at
S.19 o'clock in the morning. instead
of S.38 o'clock, the change having been
made In the new time table.
Many Republicans will go to Dover
for the State committee meeting and
to hobnob about the Hotel Richardson
corridor.
Because of the serious illness Of
State Auditor Theodore F. Clark,
whose home is at Delaware City, it
was said today that Mr. Clark might
not be renominated by the State con-
vention at Dover tomorrow. Mr.. Clark
has been feeling unwell for some time.
When inquiry was made by a re-
porter, who telophoned to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Clark at noon. 1t was
said that his condition was much bet
ter. He was out on Saturday, II was
said, and he is now about the house
and expects to be out again soon.
There seems no doubt that Con-
gressman Heald and State Treasurer
Moore will be renominated, and Mr..
Clark also will be renominated unless
feeling crops Up that he is too Ill
to be placed on the ticket. Il is said
that Kent county Republicans may
urge Kent man for State auditor.
