BristOw Charge a Cue.
After Senator Bristow made his charges
against Mr.. Aldrich concerning the rub
Der schedules in the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law the new leaders decided that it was
time to make their second big move,
Senator Crane and Mr.. Norton went to
Newport. They saw Senator Aldrich. it
is said, and they secured from him a
promise to make a public statement con-
corning the rubber schedules They also
persuaded the leader OF the Senate ma
jority 10 again declare that he would not
be a candidate for reelection. When
Senator Aldrich came 20 Beverly yester-
day on his way 20 Bar Harbor he told
Mr.. Taft, il is said, that his decision had
been made frrevocably-he would retire
As TO Speaker Cannon. the leaders felt
there was not yet need for reputation
by the President The Speakers recent
utterances in Kansas did much. they
thought. to bring victory to the insur-
gents there and in Iowa. But in bringing
they thought. also brought his own de-
feat nearer.
Even if the next House goes Republi-
can and candid leaders are likely to say
that It cannot be. there will be enough in
surgents. Il Is believed, to make Mr.
Cannon's reelection as Speaker out Of
the question. Friends Of Uncle Joe" who
have been here in the last few days have
practically admitted that he will not be

the names OF other Republicans who may
be considered as new leaders are to be
forthcoming quickly now Despite the
encouraging reports that have been given
out here by returning political scouts. the
insiders know that the party faces one OF
the worst battles it has faced in years.
Just what part Postmaster General
Hitchcock will take in the campaign is
hard to say. He is not particularly in
innate with Senator Crane. but it is said
that the President will use both him and
the Massachusetts man in different ways
for the same end. In the South Hitch
cock is very strong II is reported that
AR Hitchcock viii attempt to straighten
out the tangle in New York State.
Representative William E. Mckinley.
chairman of the Republican National
Committee. is another man who may be
considered as one Of those who are aspir-
ing to membership among the new FANNY
OF political advisers. Mr. Mckinley was.
ard possibly still is. the closest political
adviser Of Uncle Joe Cannon. As an ~
dication however, of his present atti-
tude, it is said that Mr. Mckinley does
not believe that Mr.. Cannon will try TO
be elected Speaker in 1911 Mr. McKin-
ley and Mr.. Hitchcock are expected TO
work in conjunction TO bring about Re-
publican success. and IL Is believed here
That his assent 70 tho moves made by
Senator Crane and Mr.. Norton was not

with the craftsmanship Of the State

that his chances grow slim.
Representative Hill wanted to talk

He probably viii say something about
the tariff.
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs VaIen-
tine, summoned TO Beverly by Mr. Taft
