Beverly. Mass. August 1.-THE po
litical upheayal n the Republican
party. which got its first public notice
on Saturday, is likely to continue It's
rumbling in Beverly for a few days to
come. Senator Crane. OF Massachu-
sets. who is set down as the real
leader among tho new leaders Of the
Republican party. Will be here on Tues.
day. He will see President TAFT then
Tor the first limo since he went West
to meet Secretary OF the Interior Bal
linger early this month. He will have
much to tell the President not tho
least thing being now MY. Ballinger ls
to be relieved: now Senator Aldrich
z was urged to reiterate HIS announce
+ mint that he would not run again Tor
the Senate. and last but not least how
+ Uncle Joe Cannon s to be separated
from the gavel of the House OF Repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Crane has reputa-
tion for quiet uc;ion. but the poiiti-
clans think the rumble will be heard
nevertheless.
Friends OF Cannon
On the heels OF Mr. Crane will come
Vice-President Sherman and Represen-
tative Loudensiager. of New Jersey,
secretary OF the congressional! cam
paign committee and manager OF Its
Eastern Office. Nr. Loudenslager and
Mr.. sherman are both close personal
friends OF Speaker Cannon Mr.. Sher-
man, when member OF the House OF
fHepresentatiyes. was a leader in the
old Rules Committee. and was regard
: tL ss annors sz5r1E 1Eat hand man
even before Representatives Payne or
Dalzeil. Sir. Lordenslager has been
friend OF Mr.. Cannon for years. ana
next to Representative William G. Nc
ikinley. OF Illinois, IS regarded as more
intimate with "Uncto Joe" than al.
most any man IN public life. It is not
expected that either Mr. Sherman rr
Mr.. udenslager ,xlll look with COM
plaisance upon the elimination OF
Speaker Cannon. The friendship be-
tween them all has oeen very real, II
Is said. But at the same time 1t isl
nredfcted that they, too, will see what
Mr. Crane and others seem to have
seen. that Mr.. Cannon must be cast
overheard before the Republican ship
goes into action In the fall.
Mr.. Crane, Secretary to the President
Norton and many others who figure In
tho new deal that is being arranged
all are friendly to Secretary Ballinger
and also to Senator Aldrich. Ihey
felt. however, that the time for the
consideration Of these friendships is
at an end II Republican success is to
he thought OF. That Mr.. Sherman and
Z Mr.. Loudenslager can be swung to the
came view is believed possible here
tonight.
Placating the West.
Not only do the men who are at
tempting to frame a new polltlca1
structure for the administration expect
to remove Mr. Ballinger. Mr.. Aldrich
and Mr.-Cannon. but 1t was said to-
night that they nope to show the West.
where the opposition TO the admins:
tration has been f1ercest, that from now
on it shall hereafter. play as big q
part in national affairs as does the
East. With the retirement from the
Senate OF Mr.. Aldrich the question will
arise as to who shall lead the upper
house. Nobody here denies that lead:
ership probably will remain In the
East. possibly in Massachusetts,. but at
8 the same time 1t Is prophesied that
he feelings Of the West win be more
regarded.
Secretary Norton. who Is concerned
II IN the recent moves for Republicanvic-
q tory. lis "a Chicagoan and knows the
sentiment Of the West. HI desires
that the West shall understand that 1t
is to be consi dered: he Is said I o real-
ize that the undenied$ announce ments

party.
Mr. Crane Is not. In the opinion Of
many, so much a New tEnglander that
he does not perceive the feeling Of the
