Washington, August 13.-(Special.)-
Comparatively few of the high officials
under the Taft administration are in
Washington at present. Most of them
are enjoying themselves socially on
vacations usually taken at this season
of the year. Some are away on quiet mis-
sions which have relation to the political
campaign. Among those on deck, how
ever, it is apparent that the news from
Beverly within the past two days is hav-
ing a disquieting effect upon the nerves
of republicans who are apprehensive that
their party is doomed to get an all-round
licking at the November elections. The
story that Postmaster General Hitchcock
and others, seeing great trouble ahead
for the republicans, have advised that Mr..
Taft get rid OF Secretary Balinger, re-
pudiate Speaker Cannon and Cannon
ISM and cut loose from Senator Aldrich
and his close followers, has produced
nothing short of a shock in government
circles here.
The question is being asked repeatedly
in department circles, What hope is
there for republican success, if such a
policy as this is announced on the part of
the President and his advisers?" And

Danville, ILL.,. August 13.-tspecial)-
Joseph G. Cannon admitted this after
noon he might be prevailed upon to ac-
cept the position of speaker of the House
once more, and at the same time char
acterized the Chicago Tribune as an ally
of the democratic party and an organ OPP
posed to the republican administration
Mr.. Cannon smiled when shown dis
patches published by the Tribune, under
a Beverly, Mass, date, stating that he,
Senator Aldrch and Secretary Ballinger
had been slated for retirement in the
interest of republican harmony.
AS he read the smile became chuckle,
then a guffaw and ended with what the
speaker clearly intended to be taken as
a roar of genuine merrment.
II do not know and do not care who
wrote that Dispatch he said. The Chi-
caRo Tribune is great newspaper and
for reasons, I presume satisfactory TO
its owners, is making war upon the leg
