THE FIGHT IS ON.
Cong, Longw0rth Declares
War Against Cannon. i,
Says Does Not Believe Speaker
Can Be Reelected.
Is Said TO Have the Support Of
The Administration.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 18.-Reflecting
the views of the administration it is
generally believed, Rep. Nicholas Long
worth of Chic today gave out state
ment in which he says he will never
support Speaker Common again and that
he does not believe Mr.. Cannon ever
can be reelected. This is regarded as
the actual beginning of the real fight
on Mr.. Cannon.
1t had been regarded as significant
fact tor several days past that Mr.
Longworth had been called into all Of
the recent conferences of a political
character held by Mr. Taft Mr.. Long
worth was present yesterday afternoon
when the President and Vice President
Sherman talked together. 1t was re-
ported then that statement adverse
to Mr.. Cannon was being prepared in
quarters close to the administration and
it was also intimated that Mr.. Sher-
mon who, like Mr.. Longworth. has al
ways been supporter of Mr.. Cannon,
has become reconciled to the fact that
MI. Cannon must go.
There riay be further significance in
the fact that Rep. Longworth is going
to Oyster Bay on Saturday to spend
several days with his father-in-law
Colonel Roosevelt. The fact that he
was present at the interview between
Mr.. Taft aid Mr.. Sherman and that he
is going to Oyster Bay is taken here to
mean that a close understa nding be-
tween Beverly and oyster Bay as to
recent events in New York, is to be had.
Mr.. Longworth's statement in full is
as follows:
Beverly, Aug. IS, 1910.
"In view Of Mr.. Cannon's unequivo-
cal declaration that he intends to be a
candidate for Speaker of the next
House, l think it is incumbent upon
those of us who are candidates for
membership in the next House who
have made up our minds upon our
course Of action and have positive
views upon the subject. to state our
position publicly. Had Mr. Cannon not
made this announcement and had it
remained doubtful whether he would
be a candidate or not, it was my in
tention not to commit myself before
election as to whom l ST ould or should
not support for Speaker But since
Mr. Cannon himself, in his speeches
so far in the campaign and in his re-
Sehl uecidI dtloIl, has Ildue HIS cduul-
dacy for the Speakership an issue. l
for one do not propose to dodge that
issue.
Il shall oppose Mr.. Cannon's cleo
ton as Speaker and l shall do so in
the manner that | consider the proper
and effective one for the settlement of
controversies in my party, namely. in
the Republican caucus. l made up my

PRESIDENT FOR HARMONY.

H0pedale, Mass, Aug. 18.-President
Taft is spending the night as the guest
OF Governor Draper of Massachusetts
| at his home in this place. The Presi-
dent motored down from Beverly this
| afternoon, making the 60 miles or more
in little more than two hours. Gov
Draper invited number of his rela-
tives and intimate friends in to meet
the President at dinner tonight. Mr..
Taft was accompanied from Beverly
only by Secretary Norton and Cant
Butt.
Tomorrow the President will visit
Menden, where his ancestors lived, and
return by automobile to the summer
capital in the afternoon.
Mr.. Taft's visit here is purely social
and made as a return of courtesies
from the governor. There is absolutely
no political significance attached to it,
Reports from Oyster Bay today, pur-
porting to indicate that Col. Theodore
Roosevelt believed his defeat at the
hands of the New York state Repub-
lean committee was the result of an
agreement between President Taft and
some Of the "Old Guard" leaders in the
state, were received in Beverly today
with little short of Consideration. AS
the reports We're not accredited to any
responsible person, no attention was
officially paid to them. So far as the
statement made that there was an
agreement to defeat Col. Roosevelt to
which President Taft was a party is
concerned, there is said to be absolute
ly no truth in it, President Taft from
the very first has endeavored to secure
harmony in New York state. He urged
all the leaders to try to get together;
has been anxious that Col. Roosevelt's
wishes should be consulted and even
went so far on one occasion as to ex-
claim to a very prominent New York
politician:
For Gods sake avoid fight
1t was also said in Beverly today
that if the person who inspired the
statements from oyster Bay had been
in possession of the facts. the state
ment never would have been made.
Rep. Nicholas Longworth of Ohio. a
son-in-law of Col. Roosevelt, has been
present at nearly all of the recent con-
ferences which President Taft has held
at Beverly. He was present through
all of the conference with Vice Pres
ident Sherman on yesterday. Mr. Long
worth it is believed. knows every move
the President has made. He will see
Col Roosevelt at OYSTER Bav Saturday.

what he considers to be the hostility of
men close to the administration and he
regards the selection of Vice President
Sherman for the temporary craftsmanship
of the Republican state convention as the
result of this attitude. He recalled to his
visitors that he had spoken no word Of
criticism of the administration and made
them understand that it was his plan not
to do SO, adding that he would confine
himself solely to policy of affirmation
of the doctrines which he considers to
be the best interests of the nation, look
ing to the future and not to the past
