TAFT AND ROOT CONFER
AT GREAT LENGTH UPON
AFFAIRS OF THE NATION

1t is his ambition that his administraJ
ton may stand out for the character OF
his judicial appointments. He is can
wasting the situation thoroughly, has an
open mind, is listening to all proper sug-
.gestions and will not make any an
nouncement of his selections until Con-
gress meets in December
Besides the supreme court appointments
and the political situation in New York
state, Senator Root and the President
had other things to talk about. The
senator but recently returned from The
Hague, where he acted as chief counsel
for the United States in the fisheries dis
pute with New Foundland. He is also
one of the administration representatives,
and consequently one of the majority on
the Ballinger- Pinchot investigation conf
mittee. The majority of this committee
has not yet reported, although the four
democratic members and Representative
Madison of Kansas, the republican insur-
gent. have submitted statements con-
demnihg the Secretary of the Interior.
Senator Root declared today that he did
not lpow just when the majority report
would be forthcoming. Senator Flint of
California is still in Europe, and there
can be no meeting of the majority suntil
he returns.
1t was said tonight that Senator Root
and Mr.. Taft also discussed today the
part that Colonel Roosevelt is to play In
the campaigns of this year and In 1912.
Both were members of the Roosevelt
cabinet Senator Root is generally re-
garded as staunch supporter Of the ad-
inlnistration President Taft has relied
much on him in getting his measures
through Congress-. When Senator Root
went abroad last summer and met Col
onel Roosevelt in London 1t was reported
that he undoubtedly would counteract
many Of the adverse reports OF the Taft
Administrations which had been carried
to the colonel by Clifford Pinchot and
others.
Senator Root voted for and defended the
Payne-Ald1ch tariff law.

MAYOR EXUM TO MAKE
HIS RECOMMENDATIONS

In his first message to the new council
Mayor Exum will treat of number of
things of interest to Birmingham people.
The mayor stated yesterday that he
would make his first recommendations to
the council at the meeting to be held
October 49,
He will take UP the matter of having a
crematory for the city, and also inves-
tigate what is best to be done in regard
to the operation of the light and water
plant at North Birmingham
The mayor believes that crematory is
very necessary to city of the size of
Birmingham and has stated that he will
make every effort to have one built. It
Is probable that he or some member Of
the council will inspect the crematories
owned by other southern cities.
A meeting of the legislative committee
has been called for this morning at 10
o'clock and the committee will GO to
North Birmingham and inspect the mu-
nicipal plants at that city.

Beverly, Mass, October 10.-A five
hours conference between President
Taft and Senator Elihu Root of New
York caused much speculation in Bev-
erly today. Senator Root arrived shortly
before noon and left again for New York
at o'clock. He would not discuss his
visit to the President in any way. AS
to New York state he would go no far
Their than to say that the republicans
have a fighting chance" OF the repub-
lican convention at Saratoga, Mr.. Root
said It did the logical thing" but he
declined to go into details.
1t was reported that President Taft
had summoned Senator Root to the sum-
mer capital to talk over prospective SUI
preme court appointments among other
things. This report led to revival of
the rumor that Senator Root might him
self become member of that high tri-
bunal. The senator declared after his
conference with the President that, like
all good citizens, he was deeply inter-
ested in the supreme court, but he would
not say that his talk with the President
had had any relation to himself.
certainly senator hoot ulo nothlng TO-
day to encourage the idea that he is
being considered for the supreme court
BENCH He is IS years old, and 1t was
reported in Washington. following the
appointment and Confirmation of Justice
Lurton last winter, that the President
had entered into tacit agreement with
the judiciary committee of the senate
that he would not appoint any more JUS
tees of the supreme court bench over
go years of age. 1t is also cited here
that Justice Hughes, having just been
appointed from New York, President
Taft probably would not go to that state
for another Judge at this time. The
President, however. does not feel bound
by any geographical or other obligations

An UNITED PARTY

word comes from the east that
many OF the insurgents who were for
riding a coach-and-four through the
Republican party before the election
are not so disposed now, and realize
the necessity Of the party getting to-
gether and presenting a united front
to the common enemy. While they
are taking the position that in many
or the states the results OF the election
proved the correctness OF their views.
and that the principles for which
they contended were upheld by the
people. they are not cockily wishing
70 continue their battle.
II is daily becoming more apparent
that the Democracy will not have the
easy victory I'm the election OF 1912
that they we're anticipating when the
results Of the November election be-
came known. Il seemed TO many OF
the Democrats that the Republican
party was so hopelessly divided that
the present session Of Congress would
merely accentuate that division. and
that when the election Of 1912 davns
on the horizon the Grand Old party
would be unable TO muster enough
votes 70 be a factor in the situation.
Tt is daily becoming more certain
that this Democratic view was incor-
rect and that the Republican party
viii be found presenting an IN
broken front to its hereditary foe in
the national contest Of 1912. While
President Taft is anxious to take the
tariff question out OF politics, it is not
generally believed this can be done
I'm advance Of the next national cleo
ton with the insurgents meeting the
views OF the President along that line.
with Colonel Roosevelt in fun accord
with him, with Senator's Lodge. Al
drich and other leaders Of the regular
Republicans accepting a section-by-
section revision Of the tariff, there
would seem TO be an excellent basis
for the two warning wings of the Re
publican party TO bury the Ratchet
and get together.
The American people as a whole
are protectionists. and the dissatisfac-
ton Of majority Of them over the
Payne bill is one OF degree and meth
cd and not OF principle. The pro-
tectve policy is one OF the most val
liable assets OF the Republican party.
and with a Republican President
standing for tariff revision piecemeal
the revision Of each section, without
reference TO any other section. which
appeals strongly to members Of both
factions OF the party, Republican sue
cess in 1912 is not at all difficult to
forecast with some chance OF ones
