Beverly to the effect that Aldrich,

Although the word from Beverly did
not come directly from the president,

On every side the question asked
was to what extent did T. r. figure In
today's sensation.
Whether the Colonel had any hand
in bringing about the new sensation
cannot be authoritatively stated. but
many suggest an explanation in the
fact that he has spoken no word of
public criticism of the Taft admins

That T. r.. was disappointed with
Taft when he learned of existing con.

has been pretty we'll established. II
