CANNON IN SAME CLASS President's Dropping of Aldrich Is Also Move to Restore Harmony. AVIrkersham and Knox Said to Be Scheduled Next. Contlnn-d From First Pge. motive. Influence or combination of in fluences that operated to call forth the apparently authoritative statement of administration plans at this particular . - . ..mrmm.r a time. Is the "RooseVelt Induence ac countable In any degree? Thero are reasons for believing; an affirmative answer to this question is correct. When Senator Crane went West, to "see" Mr. Ballinger, he also sounded for general political sentiment. It did not take him long" with his trained powers of observation to get to .the bottom of the situation. Returning to Beverly he reported conditions that verified the previously existing feeling of danger all along the line. Aldrichlsm, Cannonlsm and Ballingerism had the West all torn up and the West was waiting with un mlstakable enthusiasm of expectancy for Theodore Roosevelt to arrive on the ground and speak on vital Issues, Matters have been precipitated more or less, perhaps, by the latest confer ences at Oyster Bay between the ex President, ex-Secretary of -the Interior Garfield and ex-Forester Pinchot, and the announcement that these three in divlduala would appear In the West to gether during the Congressional cam paign. BALLINGER IS SEXT NO WORD Secretary Says Taft Has Xot Asked for His Resignation. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Aug. 13. "I know nothing about any resignation and do not Intend to resign. I have denied any such Intention, and still deny It." said Secretary of the In terior Ballinger tonight to an Associ ated Press representative. "The Pres ident has never given me any intima tion that ha desired my resignation, and until he does I will continue as Secretary of the Interior." That was all that Mr. Ballinger would say respecting his reported res ignation. What are you going to do with Mr. Newell T' asked the Associated Press man. ' "I have nothing to say about Mr. Newell for publication," replied Mr. Ballinger.- Mr. Ballinger and his wife arrived In this city this evening at 5:30 and were received by President Dalxell, of the Chamber of Commerce, and W. W. Patch, project erglneer of the Klam ath reclamation project. He took din ner at the Livermore Hotel. Tomorrow morning Mr. Ballinger will go o the Klamtah agency land ing, on I p,ier Klamath Lake, and from there wili take an automobile to Crater Lake, retu'ning tha same day. . Mrs. Ballinger will stop at Eagle Ridge on the way up the lake -and await his return. Monday the enter tainment officials will take Mr. Ballin ger over the Klamath project, which will conclude his Inspection of the work that is being done In this part of the state. Secretary Ballinger and party will leave Tuesday morning for San Francisco and will go from there to the Toseralte Park. OTHER CHANGES EXPECTED Knox and Wlckersham Slated Next. Politicians Believe. NEW TORK. Aug. . SpecIal. From a man high In the councils of the Re publican party, an intimate friend of both President Taft and colonel Koose- velt. It was learned today that the re port about the President s Intention to throw over his old advisers. Aldrich. Hale and Cannon and practically to dis miss Ballinger. was true. "The news is Important." said this man. "but it is not as surprising to me as to the public. I have been expect ing it" That President Taft had decided finally to get rid of his old standbys was so sensational that the majority of the poli ticians who could be found to discuss the subject today were almost too sur prised to talk about it at all. It was generally agreed that It was one of the aav ' a . m a.. 1 - most momentuous moves in the recent history of the party and an astonishing change of front. The effect, it was agreed, will be far-reaching. While there was no doubt that Aldrich, Hale, Cannon and Ballinger and their friends would not give up without a struggle, such action on the part of the President would tend to bring the two wings of the party rapidly growing apart of late into harmonious relations, it was said. The passing of Ballinger. Aldrich and Cannon undoubtedly would be followed tn a -short time, it Is surmised, by the resignation of George W. Wlckersham and Philander C. Knox, from the Cabinet. ROOSEVELT . IS INTERESTED Ex-President Has No .Comment to Offer on Beverly Dispatches. OYSTER BAY. N. Y., Aug. 13. Ex Presldent Roosevelt had no comment to make today on the dispatches from Bev erly, Mass., to the effect that President Taft had decidad on a readjustment o? conditions within- the inner' sphere of the Republican party. He was greatly interested in the re port that Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon would bo relegated to lesser po sitions in the councils of the party, that Secretary Ballinger would retire on Sep tember 15, and that Senator Crane woufS assume a mora important role In his re lations with the Administration. SPEAKER CANNON JTJST SMILES DANVILLE, 111.. Aug. 13. Speaker Cannon smiled today when asked to comment on rumors that he. Senator rarwx am II" T ft V aT AVE I1 A If2 - "" " - -siuac " Aldrich and. Secretary Ballinger were to be. placed on less prominent posi tions In Republican National politics. He said: "Acting in concert with the. Repub lican majority in ' Congress, I con tributed what I could toward the enact ment of the legislation and the Presi dent Rnnroved it- The Democratic min- ' ority in Congress, reinforced by a small group of men under the leaaersnip or. La Follette, Cummings, Bristow and others, opposed the legislation. That Is the privilege of the Democratic party and its allies, but I am quit ewilllng to abide by the votes of the majority of the people In Novelnber." Penitent Speculator Kills Himself. KENOSHA, Wis, Aug. IS. Frank W. Nohllng, 42 years of age, president of the Kenosha Mercantile Company and leader among the Socialist Democrats of Wisconsin, committed suicide In his office yesterday. - He slashed this throat with a knife, severing the jugular vein, and then, taking another knife, drove it deep Into the wound.
