TAFT step ASIDE?
RESTS WITH PARTY
Report That He Had Decided to
Make Way for Roosevelt
Is Unf0nnded

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. 16.-The pub
ps ners, nurporting to come from Bev-
erly and announcing that President
AIT nad decided 90 step aside as a
presidential candidate in 1912 TO make
way for Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
brought many inquiries to the summer
capital today. 1t was decided not to
dignity the story, which is reported to
be without any foundation whatever,
with a statement.
1t can be stated that there has been
no change in Taft's attitude toward
a second term since he told a number
of friends few months ago that he
would accept a second nomination If
his party desired it.
The president, it is said, is not con-
sidering his chances for a second term
one way or the other, at this time.
From the first he has said that he
would devote himself to carrying out
as nearly as possible the pledges of the
platform on which he was elected.
Taft, it is pointed out, does not know
how to play politics and he has been
quoted as saying that he would not do
so If he could
The fact that he has often. in his
speeches, referred TO the fact that he
has only the rest of his present term
to serve, means. 1t is stated here. that
Taft does not feel that he nominated
himself, and that he will not make a
political bid for the nomination.
The president will start for New
Haven and Cincinnati Sunday night.
He will be away from Beverly two
weeks, returning here October ? to re-
main until the 18th.

Radical Policies

NEW YORK, Sept 16.-County poll
ticians from all parts of New York
state gathered today at Theodore
Roosevelt's editorial offices to tell him
where they stand in the fight now on
within the republican party. The col
onel talked from morning till night
with leaders on both sides, but as he
was leaving at the end of the day the
only statement he would make was that
he had not a word TO say.
There was a sharp exchange today
between Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
and William Barnes .Jr., republican
state committeeman and leader of the
so called "old guard" In published
statement Barnes said:

vering. use of patronage or person

When Barnes statement was shown
TO Colonel Roosevelt the latter dictated
the following comment:
/ am indeed blessed in my enc
mics. l am very genuinely CRATE
full to Mr.. Barnes for having un-
consciously made the issue so clear
between what he is pleased to call
Rooseveltism on the one side, and
on the other side the alliance of the
boss with that element of big bust
ness which seeks to control politics
in connection with business
After the New York county repub-
1ican committee had unanimously re-
elected Lloyd c. Griscom as its presi-
dent tonight. Adam Gruber, an assem-
bly, district leader who has finally gone
on record against Colonel Roosevelt,
offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the New York

utterances of former President
