'Friends of Administration Insinuate That Roosevelt Is Work
ing Up Situation So the Party Will Be Forced to Call Him as
a Political Moses Read Between the Lines, It Can Be Seen
That Roosevelt Is Suspected of Quietly Assisting in Defeat
of Party in Maine, in Order to Discredit Taft.
Beverly, Mass., Sept. 13. No state
ment regarding the election In Maine
, was Issued today from the executive
offices here. The Maine results
shocked Taft and his advisers. That
Is an open secret, and the result was
not more pleasant hecauso of the
president's recent visit to Maine, and
the seml-polltlcal speeches he made,
In which ho called atotntion to the
length of service of Maine's public
men.
Although nothing like a statepient
lias been given out, the Idea seems to
have been adopted by common consent
that President laft will not be a can
didate for re-election. Supporters of
the administration are denying that
there is a breech between Taft and
Roosevelt, but the Maine returns are
considered a demonstration of the
belief that there is no love lost be
tween the president and his prede
cessor. The Taft followers and the
administration men insinuate that
Roosevelt is looking for a cry for a
"political Moses."
One of tho results of the Maine
election will bo a hurried change in
the campaign plans for New York and
Ohio. Some of the ablest strategists
of the administration will be sent to
Ohio to aid in the light .there. Spell
binders will flood the state and every

Cobham, Va., Sept. 13. "I'm sor

laugh," was John Armstrong Chan
loner's comment today upon the dif
ficulties in which his brother, Rob
ert Winthrop Chanler is Involved as
the result of his marrlago to Mmo.
Llna Cavallorl.
"I flatter myself that I foretold
what would happen," Chanloner con
tinued. "Wheu I first heard of my
brother's engagement, I telegraphed
him to bo sure to keep enough
money to buy his luncn and an oc
casional suit of clothes.
"I congratulated Mmo. Cavallerl
before and after tho wedding. I
didn't congratulate Bob. She was
the ono'to be congratulated because
of tho complete success of her plans.
"Also, I knew tho woman from tho
very first. I had never met her but
I had seen scores of pictures of her.
I am a student of physiognomy, and
I was nblo at onco to form an esti
mate of her character nnd her abil
ity which proved correct.
"Mme. Caval'erl was "a woman
handshaker handshaker." Only she
didn't shake hands with her hands.

G, Harding over Governor Judson
Harmon., The administration is par
ticularly anxious to win Ohio, Taft's
own state, and the leaders are in
clined to believe today, according to
the politicians here, that a hard fight
will face them.
In New York tho situation is con
sidered critical. With an open rup
ture between tho progressive faction
of tho Republican party, headed by
Colonel Roosevelt, and the old guard
fighting to. name a stand-pat ticket,
and adopt a "regular' 'platform, tho
chances for Democratic success are
considered excellent. It Is believed
the administration leaders will stay
out of the fight, but they will counsel
the regulars to end the differences
within the party, if possible, and that
as soon as tho ticket is named the ac
tive campaign will begin. Strategists
and spell-binders will be rushed into
tho state In an effort to prevent the
defeat of tho Republican party.
It is believed that the administra
tion will not lend a helping hand to
Indiana Republicans this fall. The
progressives are in control there, and
will bo left very largely to their own
resources. Most of tho strength of
tjio administration forces will be con
centrated in unio ana New orK, un
less plans aro radically altered before
the election rolls around.

Danville, 111., Sept. 13. Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon had no comment to

against the Maine congressional tick

talk, Chaloner appeared to be una
ble to suppress a smile.
"It's the way such things go," he
remarked sagely. "I warned Bob to
beware of alimony and keep enough
to livo on, for usually, when n song
bird finishes, there isn't much left.
'In this caso, of course, it really Is
nono of ray business. The woman Is
Bob's wife and not mine. I've had
troubles of my own. Not being mar
ried to a songbird, naturally I can't
see the end of this affair. From n
lawyer's standpoint I should say
howover, that the reported pre-nup-tlal
agreement between Bob and
Mmo. Cavallerl is not ironclad. I
believe he can get the greater part
of his fortune back.
"When I studied tho beautiful
faco of Mme. Cavallerl In tho pic
tures that came to me, I nrrived at
tho conc'us'on that she was a siren.
"I couldn't help but recall Kip
ling's verses about 'A Fool There
Was.'
"But of course I can't use the
word fool in this case because tlw
bible forbids calling one's brother u
fool. I can't do it. I would prefer
to call Bob a jackass.
"Mmo Cavallorl is a wonderful
woman. She has a clear face, lan
guorous eyes and a voluptuous body,
whoso sinuous curves fasten them
selves Into ono's memory nnd fire
the beholder's heart with a depth of
passion difficult to understand,
while she herself, behind that beau
tiful faco-curtaln, may be coldly cal
culating. "Mmo. Cavallerl deserves to bo
ranked among the great cruelly
great and greatly cruel women of
history.
"I bellevo Bob loved her and that
he still is in love with her. He is
expressing a hypnotic love for a
songbird who succeeded In trapping
him. I am sorry he had to bp hold
up to tho world In this light but he
knows I foretold the truth."

The1 Burko managers predict that tho
