Beverly, Mass, June 30-President
Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt will meet at
Burgess Point this afternoon. While
no official announcement of a confer
ence has been made, it is known that
the details have been arranged.
Whether Governor Hughes, who is
at Cambridge today for the commence
ment exercises at Harvard university,
will participate In today's meeting Is
not certain. 1t Is understood that Sen
ator Lodge, who entertained Mr..
Roosevelt at his home In Nahant last
night, will accompany his guest to Bev-
erly today.
These are some of the questions
(which will come up for consideration,
and which may be decided at the con-
ference:
Whether Theodore Roosevelt is to in
dorse the present administration and
support President Taft for a renomina-
ton.
Whether Governor Charles E.
Hughes is to surrender his place on
the United States supreme court bench
to accept a nomination for third term
at Albany.
Whether Theodore Roosevelt is to
shake the "big stick" in the face of an
'erring prOtege' and again enter the
political arena as a candidate for the
presidential nomination.
Republican leaders express apprehen-
sion that the conference will disclose
the fact that from now on the presi-
dent and Colonel Roosevelt will stand
for different policies and that Mr..
Taft will not consent TO any interfer-
ence on the part of Mr.. Roosevelt with
his administration. Such split, in
the present critical state of Republic.

would involve alarming consequences
from the standpoint of party welfare.

address before the Phi Beta Kappa so.
ciety of Harvard university this after
noon Governor c. E. Hughes of New
York discussed "SOme Aspects of Our
Democracy"
Among other things he said
I'VE need something more than the
growing sentiment of brotherhood;
something more than the recognition
| of our mutual dependence, essential as
these are. To the tasks OF democracy
the best thought and the most un-
selfish effort of educated America must
be dedicated. To the men of intel
lectual power, of trained ability, of
| acumen and foresight, We must look
for something more than exhibitions
of shrewdness and skill In the man
agement of their individual concerns,
for something more than proficiency
in the promotion and conduct of enter
prise. From them we have a right to
expect unwavering loyalty to the cause
of self government and a pride In un-
selfish public service transcending the
pride of individual achievement.
Democracy cannot control itself by
power or hold itself in check by force.
