members who remained at home, but
who were out In uniform to escort the
returning heroes to the Masonic tenn

was practically unknown outside Of
Detroit and Michigan, but its remark

On the march to the temple, with
four platoons of Damascus members,
Boos' military band and the pipers OF
st. Andrews society as an escort, the

BEVERLY, Mass. Aug. 13.--No po-

which comes from a reliable source,
that Secretary of the Interior Bal
hnger, Senator Aldrich, Of Rhode Is
land, and Speaker Cannon must retire

Republican party. This course has
been outlined by the new leaders Of
the party who, fearing defeat In the
fall elections have brought strong
pressure to bear upon President Taft
to bring about a change.
The president has permitted his ad-

have a FIRE hand. Senator Crane has
already presented the matter to Sec
Rotary Ballinger and Senator Aldrich.
The Rhode Island statesman has al

IN the retirement OF BalIinger, the
elimination of Cannon and the with

they have trimmed the Republican
ship toward the fall elections. They
think that from the shoulders of Pres

removed Some go so far as TO say
that In no other way could they have
faced the coming fight with any
chance of success. They do not say
that Mr.. Taft has been responsible for
these acts, but they point with pride
