OLD GUARD LOOKS TO
TAFT FOR LEADERSHIP
Progressive Republicans STIR
red by Stories Of Proposed
Rally to Ex.President.

Circulation of stories to the effect that
former President Taft will be supported
for the Republican nomination in 1911
by tn einterest who were behind him
in 1912. are giving the progressive wins
Of the party in Congress no little con-
cern.
BY no accident, 1t is believed. have
these stories been circulated, for back
Of them is a serious purpose on the part
Of some Republican leaders to get Mr.
Taft renominated.
It is said some Of the men who sup
ported him in 1912 think he ought to be
vindicated. and 1t Is also being urged
that Mr.. Taft was q much misunder-
stood person.
1t is plain that the movement will not
get far until it strikes big obstacles.
Progressive Republicans at the Capitol
are saying in fiat terms that II the Old
Guard takes up w. With Mr.. Tart ,aa,s there
party as wide as that Of 1912. They be-
lieve that If Taft should run. or allow
his name to be used. and should
threaten to get the nomination. Roose-
would be reproduced to a large extent.
with the Democrats again winning.
The progressive Republicans in Con-
gress are in no wise in accord over
tnelr own CanOlUdte IOT 1910. But tHcy
are united to the extent that they say
the next nominee must be a man Of
progressive tendencies. They declare
that the idea which prevails in some
quarters that the Old Guard element
Of the party can put up any one It
pleases and defeat the Democrats in the
election Is n mistake.
Former Vice President Fairbanks is
credited with much activity. Mr.. Fair
banks has always been aligned with the
Old Guard. and the talk of his nomina-
ton is viewed with suspicion by the
progressive Republicans.
A great deal Of talk about "favorits
SON. movements is current. Those who
want a progressive Republican to lead
the ticket are searching these move
ments to find out whether back Of them
Is any plan to deliver delegates to an
Old Guard Republican at the proper
time.
Unless there is an extra session Of
Congress, It Is the view of most poll
ticians here that the Republican Presi-
dental session Ia on.
Presidential politics Is likely to de-
velop in case of An extra session.

OFFICE FIRE
DAMAGE IS $4,000

Investigation by officials Of the Patent
Office today showed the fire last night
In the suhsbasement on the q street
side OF the building. consumed only
roomful OF blanks. valued at approx
inately $1,000. The blaze. which broke
cut shortly after o'clock, Is believed
to have been caused by crossed wires,
some changes having been made In the
electric apparatus on that floor yester-
day.
The fact the blaze happened to be In
a room used for the storage of blanks
and not in a space where some of the
valuable records are kept" declared
Commissioner Of Patents Ewing TODAY,
does not lessen the force Of the argu-
ments / have made ever since l came
here that steps should be taken immedi-
ately to make the building fireproof.
Although as much care as Is possible Is
taken to guard against accidents Of this
character, 1t was a matter of luck that
the flames should have started In a
sub-basement room. filled with blanks.
which are easily replaced. instead of
among the stacks of inf1ammable pine
shelving whereon many of the valuable
records which could never be replaced,
are stacked COR want Of a better and
safer place"
The blaze had gained considerable
headway among the blanks when II
was discovered and the alarm sent in.
but the stone walls and heavy doors OF
the room prevented its spread to ada
cent spaces. BY the time the hremen
arrived the great volumes of smoke
which poured into the building so ham
pered the fire-fghters in their work
that 1t took considerable time to end
the blaze. Many OF the firemen by
reason of the heavy smoke, became
separated from their follows, which
gave rise to report that some of them
mad been lost, but checking up after
