SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Il, 1910
PRESIDENT TAFT TIRED OF HIS
JOB.

President Taft has not found his
White House berth bed of roses.
Put into Office by Roosevelt when the
latter saw that the time for show
down" On the tariff question was at
hand, Mr.. Taft has had nothing but
trouble while his political maker has
been hunting elephants ard lions. din
ing with emperors and making ran
taukerous speeches in the West. The
President is very tired of II all, II is
said. and will be glad to go back to
the bench or to the practice of his
profession just so soon as he is able
to break out of the political game.
According to a press dispatch. Mr..
TAFT recently said TO a friend. 81 am
not thinking of 1912; in fact | don't
know that care for a denomination.
From the way things are drifting 1t
may be that no Republican can be
elected. save possibly one
OF course the lone" referred to Is
no other than Mr.. Roosevelt The
President has read the handwriting
on the wall and has heard what hap
pened in Maine. He knows that the
next house will be Democratic and
that unless something extraordinary
and unexpected happens a Democrat
will be elected President in 1912. APP
parent!y, however, he has an idea that
the gullible crowd impressed by The
ColoneIs bombastic roaring, com
bined with the "Old Guard" Republi-
can forces may be able TO save the
Gay in the next presidential election.
Or. Roosevelt undoubtedly has an
enormous personal following. and il
nominated he will poll a large vote;
But one cannot help wondering WHAT
sort of a platform the Colonel Will
stand upon. lie canrot frame plat
form that will meet the demands OF
the people without repudiating Presi-
dent Taft and his administration, ana
ccnfessing that the national Repabli-
can party utterly failed to make good
the pledges of its 1905 platform. He
must promise a sweeping downward
revision of tariff schedules. and he
must make il plain that he will not
attempt to redeem his pledge with any
such thing as the Payne Aldrich
nonstfosity.
Unless the colonel does these
things. even his tremendous personal
popularity will avail him nothing. il
he does do them. he may he unable

SPECTATORS HESITATE
Uncertainty is Situation on
the Market.
TRANSACTIONS ARE SMALL
Contemplated Cut in Price Of Steel
Products is Rumored and in Absence
OF Official information, Subject
Weighs on the Exchange.
CBy Associated Pressl


NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-There was
no general clearness OF conception
and no great strength of conviction
on values of securities reflected in
the action of the stock market today
Hesitation and certainty were writ
ten on The face Of the market. The
undertone was heavy and somewhat
weak, but at other times there was
evidence of resisting power and signs
of support which implied a protective
influence The transactions in United
States Steel were more than double
those in any other one security and
when dealings in Reading and Union
Pacific were added, there was not
much left of the rest Of the market.
The great preponderance of the opera
tons in United States Steel gave that
stock a large sympathetic effect on
the general market.
The hopeful spirit of the remarks
of Chairman Gary, of board of direc-
tors. upon his return from abroad was
penetrated by the scrutinizing TO the
reservations contained in the fore
cast Judge Gary dwelt on the ac-
cummulation of old orders as the
source of any prosperous activity az
the present time and casual refer
ence 10 "only half our capacity per
day in new orders" was seized upon
for unfavorable deductions. There
was very insistent talk. also. of an
open cut in prices of steel products
in contemplai ion. The absence of Of
fetal information, the subject weighed
on the market.
The preliminary estimate OF the
weeks currency movement were IN
teresting as indicating balance OF
receipts over shipments of currency
by express from the interior. The loss
of cash in sub-treasury operations OF
Sc, 053. 900 seems TO be thus reduced TO
little over $500O,000. The complied
ton over the financing of the cotton
movement remained a subject for con-
sideration in connection with the
money situation.
So did the report from Washington
that the August statistics again show
ed an excess value of imports over
exports. thus turning the balance lot
the eight months foreign trade against
this country. The discrepancy thus
implied in the level of commodities IN
this country in relation to The rest OF
the world gave force to the fears OF
further decline in prices of steel ana
copper as necessary preliminaries 10

The favorable weather report for
the corn crop was a sustaining facor-

TAFT NOT AFRAID
OF SECOND TERM
Attitude Not Changed, but
He Declines to Talk.

Beverly. Mass. Sept. 1s-President
Tafts attitude toward a second term is
substantially this:
He is not actively seeking a second
term. He is devoting himself solely to
the duties OF the Office and to the re-
dempton Of the pledges made in thc
Republican national platform. He has
found the duties Of his Office exacting,
if not irksome, but he has not said. as
has been reported, that he was willing
TO step aside in 1872 On the contrary
the President will respond 10 a call for
a second term If he is satisfied that his
friends and the country want him. He
has not thought of deserving his friends.
This is substantially the attitude that
President Taft outlined to his supporters
before he left Washington. and his mind
has not changed. The President himself
declined to comment to-day on the re-
ports that have been published Of his
willingness TO stand aside IN 1912, but his
attitude is we'll known 10 his friends.
Grahame White, the English aviator,
motored to Beverly to-day. He saw
President Taft for about ten minutes.

LORIMER FRIENDS
PLAN REELECTION
Senator May Resign as Part
of VindicatiOn Scheme.

Chicago. Sept. 16. - Following the re-
nomination for the legislature OF a big
majority of the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis who voted for Lorimer for United
States Senator in May. 1903, and with
election practically assured. except in a
few districts friends Of Lorimer to-day
were discussing a project for the vindi-
cation OF the Senator. which II carried
out will turn Illinois politics topsy-turvy
The scheme is nothing less than Lori
mers resignation from the United States
Senate and his reelection by the legis-
lature when II convenes in January
Anticipates Same Votes.
Lorimer's close supporters assert that
every member Of the Illinois senate and
lower house who voted to elect the boss
is willing ana ready to vote for him
again. no matter what the outcome Of
criminal prosecutions In Chicago and
Sangamon County. maybe, Il is conceded
that Lorimers resignation will be neither
an admission Of the guilt, Of the defend
ants nor an acknowledgment Of the SEN
ator's knowledge Of illegality.
Senator CInrL's Example.
Following the example Of Senator Clark
OF Montana. it is asserted. Lorimer can
declare that he does not wish 10 hold a
seat when there is the slightest sugges-
ton OF blot on his right TO it. HIS res
ignation. Il Is thought, will stu the hue
and cry against him and his reelection.
when the assembly gets together. for
the first time will be a complete vindi-
cation, and a gag on the mouths OF those
who now are hurting anathemas at him
from one end OF the State 70 the other.

New Haven, Sept. I6.-There was not

Roosevelt this afternoon in the speeches
delivered by United States Senator Bulk
eley. Of Connecticut. and former Gov.
George P. McLeon at the Young Mems
Republican Club clambake. Buckley and
McLeon are in a battle for the seat in
the Senate now filled by the former.
Both praised President Taft
Buckley said. Il had the honor in the
last campaign Of voting for as great a
President as we ever had. William H.
Taft You have never had a Congress
more willing than this 10 carry out tine
pledges OF the Republican party. Every
promise made in the platform on which
Taft ran has been redeemed.
McLeon said: While we in Connecti-
cut want 10 conserve our coal fields in
Alaska and our water-powers in the
Rockies. we want 10 conserve our COM
mon sense in the present campaign. The
air Is surcharged with the scare microhe
that brought panic and poverty in 1892.
We have in Taft the safest. sanest, and
most sympathetic President the country
has ever had"
