Washington, d. c., August 27.--
Willis L. Moore is chief of the United
states Weather Bureau. and right
good prophet ne is. too. With an army
of weather makers at his command all
over the country-from mountain to
seaboard-he can see as FAR into the
future, ngurat'vely speaking, as any
other man who ever undertook the job
But there are some things Willis
Moore and his able corps of assist
ants cannot DO. They cannot make
political calculations and forecasts
ThSt is left exclusively for the occu-
pants of the White House and those
who live in the political atmosphere Of
Washington. And what are the latter
saying to-day, after President Tafts
speech al Hamilton, Mass yesterday?
VIII Ask No Quarter.
William Howard Taft has advertised
to the world that ne will hereafter
ask no quarter OF the lnsurgent Re
publicans either in or out OF Congress.
He Is, 10 use an old saying, going to
let every tub stand on its own bottom,
and Senator La Toilette and other In
surgents who made that much discuss
cd "unholy alliance" with the Demo
Gratis in the extra session of Con-
eress just ended, may go TO the eternal
how vows. so far as he is concerned.
He Will have no more of them.
Taft's Ham lton speech was a centre
shot, and will do more to make him
strong In the eyes of the Regular Re
publicans than anything else he could
have done al this time. he has re-
gained whatever strength he lost dur
ing the last few months. according
To what wise politicians here say TO-
day and from now on he will stand
out as the only probable nominee of
the Republican party when their nomi
mating convention is held next summer.
Long since, President Taft lost all
patience with Senator La Toilette and
those who backed him up in Congress,
but for the best interest of the Re-
publican party he held his peace until
the session was ended. Then IL was
time 10 speak. and he has done so.
lie is fully aware of the consequences
of his words uttered yesterday. He
knows that within a few days ne will

but OF Cummins. OF Iowa; Bristow. or
Kansas, Bourne. of Oregon: Poindex-

ELECTION STRUGGLE BITTER

Ottowa, Ont. August 27.-Reports
received from all parts of Canada
show the intensity OF the election
struggle which is now under full
Roadway, and they reflect also the
| position and progress OF the various
elements on the main issue, reciproc-
| ity between Canada and the United
States.
Although the campaign comes while
harvesting Is at its height. conven-
lions and political meetings are
| drawing audiences unparalleled for
the season. 1t is conceded that a
greater percentage of votes will be
polled than ever before in Canada.
Reciprocity has continued the domi-
nant issue since Premier Laurier ana
Opposition Leader Borden made their
initial addresses.
Meantime. the Premiers of various
provinces and other leaders have been
ranging themselves on the firing line.
The first fight against reciprocity is
made on both economic and senti-
mental grounds by the opposition
speakers. They declare that agricul-
ture in the United States is SO much
better developed than it is in Canada
that the Canadian farmer will be
ducts from the United States
The sentimental ground raisad
against the return of the government
is oased on the speech of President
Iatt. In which he said that CANADA
mad come to the parting of the ways',
as justification for having passed tho
reciprocity agreement through Con
gress. I'm
