WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. iSpec!al.
Everything that has happened tills
week around the Summer hAunts of
the Republican National leaders con
spires to the belief that the Adminis
tration Is preparing to clean house he
fore; the Toiers of the eountty take the
Job upon their own shoulder.
Every succeeding; bit of newt out of
Beverly makes clearer the why and
wherefore of mysterious trips to the
West by silent-footed commissioners,
throws a brighter light upon the mean
ing of the conferences to which Presi
dent Tsft has summoned Senators,
state leaders and managers of the Con
gressional campaign, and brings out
the general feelings of the highest In
party authority as to what they must
do to be saved.
Country I "Reassured."
It la generally believed here that the
Beverly dispatches speak by the card
with reference to the retirement of
Secretary Balllnger from the Cabinet.
There was bo news necessity for
chronicling . the . fart at the time
that Speaker Cannon la not to be ,re-electer-stpeSRr:lTrlhe
event that the
next House of Representatives Is Re
publican, his prospective retirement to
the rankb has been discounted before
a single primary was held this year.
Neither Is It fresh Information that
Senator Aldrich Intends to retire at the
end of his present term.
The significance In the -linking of
three prominent figures lies In the fact
that the Administration wants the
country Impressed reassured, as It
were that there Is to be no hocus
pocus about the retirement and to
spread the conviction that the Admin
istration la giving moral support to the
promised transformation.
War Regtardrd as Vnjust.
Secretary Balllnger has many friends
In Washington, a great many more
than he has enemies, and hla case ex
cites a great deal of genuine sympathy.
There Is a strong belief that the war
made against him has been unjust.
This Is the feeling among Ma col
leagues of the Cabinet, while the Pres
ident's attitude has been strongly at
tested by the manner In which he has
stood by the Secretary of the Interior
during the bitter contest revolving
around the general question of con
servation. But even the members of the Cabinet
long ago realized that Mr. Balllnger
waa a heavy burden for the Adminis
tration to carry and months ago It waa
admitted, by some of these officials
that the Secretary of the Interior could
save much embarrassment by resign
ing after he bad received a vindication
at the hands tf the Congressional com
mittee Investigating the Glavla
charges. It also was stated In the
Washington dispatches that no sur
prise would be occasioned if Mr. Bal
llnger left public life.
The Idea that the staunch friends of
and believers In 'the Secretary of the
Interior could not lose sight of was,
that bia sacrifice, although he be inno
cent of wrong, would remove a big
cause of agitation among the people.
Party welfare was to be weighed
against personal ambition and even
honor.

Await Tuesday's Results.

Politicians Rally for Anderson and
to Beat San Francisco Man,
Who Has Strong Following
In Tenderloin Region.
SAN FRANCISCO, vAug. 11 (Special.
The campaign for the primary election
which takes place next Tuesday virtually
Closed tonight, each of the three leading
candidates for the Republican nomina
tlon Charles Curry, Hiram W. Johnson
and Alden Anderson, claiming the nomi
nation for a certainty. Stanton and tilery
being eliminated aa possibilities.
The "organisation" whip, directed prin
cipally at Curry, has been cracked In
every direction to aid Anderson, with
what success only Tuesday's primary
can tell. Curry, brimming over with
confidence, says that his support is a
solid nhalanx. personal In nature and
cannot be swerved from him.
"I have thousands of worker all over
the state," he said tonight, "who have
determined to make me Governor; I have
made my fight Independent of any ma
chine or organization, standing solely on
my record and reputation. Johnson con
cedes that I will carry San Francisco
by from 5000 to 8000 votes. If they make
it from 13.000 to. 15.000 they . will be
nearer right. I am going to be nominated
and I am confident fit a handsome, plurt
allty." .. ; . . -- . '
Insurgent Candidate Hustling.
Johnson, the reform and insurgent can
didate. Is all hustle and bustle.
' t'The' fight is won. We've whipped
the Southern Pacific machine to a
frazzle, and their candidate, Anderson,
will not know tie was in the race," said
an insurgent candidate tonight. "The
only candidate we fear is Curry. While
we will not concede San Francisco to
him. it is folly not to recognize his
strength here, but he can't get a big
enough plurality to offset what we
ahall roll up in Los Angeles and south
of the Tehachapi. The Insurgent cause
Is stronger In the south than anywhere
else, and voters know it well. Johnson
Is going to sweep the state."
The organization camp admits that
it is a hard fight for Anderson, but It
asserts that 14: will spilt the vote with
Johnson and will win.
Situation Hard to Forecast.
To an impartial man it is . hard to
forecast the situation. On all hands it
Is conceded that Johnson has been
making a wonderful fUght, but whether
Anderson or Curry will be the con
tender In the 'race remains to be seen.
One political writer has estimated the
situation as follows:
"The" fight is between Anderson and
Johnson. Curry will come out of the
south, with not more than 6000, . and
possibly only 3000. How he can ex
pect to overcome the lead that the
other candidates will have I do not
understand."
On the other hand, San Francisco Is
strong for Curry, and especially in the
"tenderloin" and saloon circles he has
many supporters. In the ' country,
however. Anderson- seems to have the
advantage, and It looks very much as
though the fight will center between
themachlne candidate and Johnson.

They Are Charming, She , Ventures,

to "See Her Legs.
PARIS. Aug. 13. (Special.) Polaris,
back in Paris once more, does not bear
the slightest resentment toward Araerl
cans for advertising her as the ugliest
woman in the world. She said:
"American women are charming,, but
they certainly have a sense of modesty
that is purely their own. Would you
believe they ' even pulled up my
skirts to see my legs.
"No American man would have al
lowed himself - to do that. I . like
American men . Immensely. They are
always well groomed, smart and ele
gant. Everything about him suggests
he has a dally bath. In dealing with
women he may not have a Frenchman's
esprit, charm and delicate little ways,
but he is all right. ' '
"The American woman is too slack
in her appearance. She does not make
as good an impression as the American
man. and dresses horribly. She sticks
an Immense hat on her head, without
knowing .whether it will suit her or
not. It is a flno hat, she thinks, so
long as it is adorned with Immense
feathers. They are mad for feathers
over there. If they were not afraid
of stepping on them they would have
them swing to their feet."
