NOVEMBER

Beverly. Mass-Certain events OF
Friday, following incidents of the last
week or SO. lead to the conclusion that
a complete political readjustment in
circles close to President Taft Is in
progress.
II is said that Secretary Ballinger is
to retire from the cabinet and that
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon will not again
be a candidate for speaker OF the
House.
Senator Crane Of Massachusetts Will
be the Presidents closest adviser.
Beverly.-Senator Nelson w. Aldrich
of Rhode Island called to see the Pres
ident Friday.
Although he is not to retire until
March 4, 1911, and Senator Aldrich
confirmed to President Taft his inten-
ton to do so, the REIMBURSEMENT plans
now in progress apparently treat what
ever influence Mr.. Aldrich may have
had with the President as thing Of
the past.
The elimination of Mr.. Aldrich. &C
cording to close political observers. Is
soon to be followed by the retirement
Of Secretary Richard A. Ballinger from
the cabinet.
The third move in contemplation Is
TO be directed against Speaker Can
non. 1t is not admitted in Beverly
that Mr. Cannon will even be a eandi-
date for the speakership.
Senator w. Murray Crane OF Massa-
cbusetts has been one of the active
fcrces in the new political movement.
II was he who went West to see Sec
rotary Ballinger. and 1t was he who
also went to see Senator Aldrich at
Warwick. Il. l.. last Sunday.
Hereafter Senator Cranes move
meuts will be watched with particular
interest. There have been stories in
progress OF friction between Mr..
Hitchcock and Senator Crane. and
and some political Jealousy rs to
their influence with the administra-
ton.
President Taft conferred with Mr..
Hitchcock and Secretary Macveagh
Friday regarding postal savings
banks. II is said now that the first
Of these banks cannot be put into OPP
GRAFTON until November list.
