ROOSEVELT AND

CAPITOL TO TALK POLITICS
WITH PRES. TAFT.

Bay."-Not This Time Rep.
resenting the Colonel.

Beverly, Mass, July 11.-Beverly
was about to tuck itself away to sleer
after dull and sultry Sunday when
William Loeb, Jr., right hand man OF
Theodore Roosevelt, motored into
town. There had been no warning OF
his coming, and his arrival caused a
flutter of excitement.
Mr.. Loeb, will see the president and
it was frankly admitted that politics
void be the subject of their interview
1t will be the first politics Mr.. Taft
has talked since Mr.. Roosevelt was at
Beverly
The president started in on a ten
days vacation last week, but there are
indications that the period of rest is
ended and number of important con-
ferences Will mark the coming seven
days period. Then Mr.. Taft is going
to sail away for ten days cruise
along the shores of Maine
Recent incidents at Oyster Bay, Mr..
Loeb declsl ed, had nothing to do with
his visit. In fact, he said that Mr..
Roosevelt probably knew nothing Of
his comins to Beverly.
1t developed later that Mr.. Loeb
was sent for by Secretary Norton,
with the knowledge of President Taft.
81 came to talk over the general po-
ltical situation with the president"
said Mr.. Loeb, when pressed for an
explanation as to his visit. "As
representative of the colonel?" he
was asked.
mo, | came as the old friend and
loyal supporter of President Taft" he
replied
During all of Mr.. Taft's term Col
lector Loeb has been frequent visitor
at the White House in Washington
and his presence there, coupled with
the general manifestations of friend
ship between him and the president,
have done much to contradict the
stories OF strained relations between
Mr.. Taft and Col. Roosevelt.
During his candidacy for the Repub
lican nomination and his campaign for
the presidency, Mr.. Taft had no more
ardent advocate than Mr.. Loeb.
Mr.. Loeb was asked ny one of his
intervewers if there was possibility
that his visit had something to do
with bridging a "chasm between Bev-
erly and Oyster Bay"
f.o Chasm, says Loeb.
"There is not any chasm," he re-
piled with emphasis. There never
has been q break of any sort and re-
1ations could not be anv more pleas
ant. Mr.. Roosevelt told me he had
had perfectly bully time when he
visited the president. The president
and Colonel Roosevelt are acting as
Americans, each along
his own lines, but 80 the same end"
Asked Il he thought Col. Roosevelt
would come out with an Endorsement
of the Tat administration, Mr.. Loeb
took the position that the presidents
needed no Endorsement
from Colonel Roosevelt or anyone
else.
Mr.. Loeb was asked to recent
events at Oyster Bay and the seem
ng preponderance of insurgents
among Colonel Roosevelt's visitors.
Colonel Roosevelt sees everybody"
lie said; the so.called insurgents
we're all friends of his and naturally
hey want to see him. Some of them
want him to help them in their cam
oaign.
