G. 0. P. Readjustnients Bef're Fall : Campaign--Developments iudi- t cate General Cleantig. .t Beverly, Mass., August 12.-Certain r events of today follow-mg incidents of, the past week or so lead inevitably to, the conclusion that a complete politi cal readjustment in circles close to the president is in progress. a Senator Aldrich. of Rhode Island, r called to see the prosident early to- 1 day. The president was gratified that ' Senator Aldrich had replied to Sena tor Bristow's charges regarding the tariff. In doing so, it is said that the senator from Rhode Island perform- t ed an act which fitted exactly into a program which has been framed by party leaders close to the president. t . Although he is not to retire until C March, 1911. the readjustment plans which plainly are in progress. appar- .c ently treat with the influence Mr. Ald rich may have had with the president as a thing of the past. The elimination of Mr. Aldrich, ac ording to close political advisers, is; n to be followed by the rptirement Secretary Richard Ballinger from cabinet. The Republican party is ing one of the most crucial cami - igns in its history this fall and the aders who have been coming more: SC d more into influence with the pres-! dent are arriving daily to do all they: can to bring about an adjustment of c C th-e differences within the party. Ballinger's Fortune Lost. Mr. Ballinger practically has lost all: his personal fortune in defending him self from the attacks that have been made upon him. If the secretary is to recover these :t losses it is said he must assume the :c lucrative practice of law which he left in his home State to take up the ar duous duties of head of the interior de partment. The retirement of Mr. Ballinger is fixed for September 15. The congres sional committee will have reported by +hat time and the date is sufficient lY early to take the so-called Ballinger issue out of the campaign. Against Uncle Joe. The third move in contemplation is said to be directed against Speaker It Cannon. It is not admitted in Beverly t that Mr. Cannon wil even be a can- t didate for the speakership. Once it is nown that President Taft would like to see a change in the Speaker-r ship, however, it is believed that all doubt as to the result would be remov- a ed.s That Beverly is being made the head quarters of the movement to set the Republican house in order is now generally admitted. The various mov es are being made quietly, but effec tively.1 Reports have reached Beverly that the recent re4ults in Kanaas and i Iowa were due largely to the activity d of Speaker Cannon in Kansas to the ( charges aginst Senator Aldrich and1 doubt in the West as to whether he r actually intended to retire. The sit uation developed in these two States e evidently has made an impression up- c on the party leaders that has stirred i th'em- to action. - Mr. Aldrich today told Mr. Taft of his plan to make a speech during the 1 fall in one of the Western States de- I fending the Payne-Aldrich act as a whole, and particularly replying to f the charges made in reference to the t cotton schedpxle. - d Senator Crane's Activities. S Senator W. Murray Crane, of Mas- I sachusetts, has been one of the ac -C tive forces in the new political move-~ I ment. It was he who went West tos see Secretary Ballinger and it wast also he who went to see Senator Ald rich at Warwick, R. I., last Sunday. ~ Postmaster General Fran Hitchcock, former chairman of the National Re- I publican committee, has been at Bev- ~ erly twice within the week. There have been stories in progress of fric-. tion between Mr. Hitchcock and Sen- I ator Crane and some political jealousy as to their influence with the admin-, istration. To Capture Tennessee. These stories are declared here to be without foundation. Mr. Hitchcock participated in the confe;ence which the president had this afternoon with four Republican leaders from Ten nessee. The Republicans are laying : plans to capture that Southern State this fall and they hope to do so with the aid of the independent Democrats. *It was said today that they were not proceeding under the theory that they can win on a straight-out Republican proposition and that the candidate to be named for governor will be a man who will be acceptable to the inde-*1 pendent Democrats. t The Republicans are anxious to hold a~ the ground for indlependent political t action in the State which they say was gainled at the recent judicial elec tion, in which the independent judi- t ciary candidates won from the Dem ocratic nominees, who were named t - largely through the influence of Gov-d erno attersn, were overwhelming-ji Th - ~1 - issns who talked with hie president today were Representa ive Austin; Newell Sanders, the State hairman; Lee Brock, a member of he Republican State executive com iittee, and Judge G. McHenderson. Hitchcock in New York. Mr. Hitchcock also has been having series of conferences with New' ork State leaders, which may have n important bearing upon the cam aign. Senator Dick, of Ohio, came to Bev rly today, but decided to await the rrival here tomorrow of Warren G. larding, the Republican nominee for overnor in Ohio. before calling on he President. Although admitting that the fight in )hio is going to be a hard one, that: he campaign must begin early and be arried into every part of the State, 4inar, Dick believes the Republi ans will win. "It's going to be an old fashion ght and an old fashioned victory," e declared. FIGHTING BOLL WEEVIL. ensus Report on Work-Reasons foi Golod Crops in the Two Caro linas. Washington, Aug. 11.-The efforts: f the department of agriculture at Vashington, supplemented by those f the State departments, in the line f destroying the boll-weevil, have be un to bear substantial fruit, accord ag to the census reports of the cot, n crop. A recent report says: "It is valuable to know that by fol-I )wing the instructions of the nation I and State departments of agricul ire, cotton growers are annually be oming more efficient and successful a subduing, or holding in check, the estructive effects of the boll wee il. Especially deserving of notice in his connection are the results of. the avestigations of the United States de artment of agriculture. These ave proved that through a more areful selection of planting seed and etter methods of cultivation this in ect can be controlled until the bot om and middle portions of the ma aring crop are out of danger; that he cotton plant can be so bred as to row nearly all of its life force into he lower and middle portions of the ilant; and, that the maturing crop an be so hastened by the use of corn ercial fertilizers and by cultural:. ethods as to develop a large percent ge of the crop before the weevil has a multiplied as to materially damage Drought Checks Pest. The last two seasons, according to he investigations of the department f agriculture, have been very pecu iar as regards the damage to the cot on crop by the weevil. The situation ra 1908 was affected by climatic con itons in the fail and winter of 1907-: 8, which permitted an unusual num er of weeviEs to survive. Experi ents with many thousands of wee ils in large field cages in 1907 show d that about 3 per cent. survived, ompared with about 12 per cent. dur rig the winter of 1906-07. In other rords, some four times as many wee 'ils survived to damage the crop in 907 as in 1908. The pest had not ful y recovered from the loss in 1809. Tha most effective natural check or the weevil is dry weather, and he last cotton season was hot and ry. It has been found-that the dam ge from the weevile is practically in roportion to the amount- of rainfall uring the growing season. At many oints in Texas and Louisana last sea on the records for summer tempera ures were broken. For several days he thermometer registered over 110 ,nd n some cases as high as 114, while 'n the surface of the ground the tern >erature was even higher.. Several imes in June and July in many cot on fields it ranged from 120 to 140. ither the drought or the high tem eratures would not have affected the reeil especially, but the two cam ied gave it a check never exper enced before in this country. "Especially favorable conditions: ave existed during the last three ears in Georgia and the two Coio inas," says the census report. The rap of 1909 in the entire country was 4.1 less than that of 1908, while the: ecrease in the three States named as only 6.3 per cent. The more westerly States suffered omewhat from the boll weevil, but he agents of the census bureau were eQuested, in making their reports, to .ssign any particular reasons for the etter crops in the Carolinas and: ~eorgia; and their replies show that' he better conditions are not due to atural conditons alone.. but that bet er methods of farming have played n important part. The report gives he following reasons for the better rous in 19'T. 'Deep and :horough preparation of he soil, careful seed selection, more .nd better fertilization, superior cul ural methods. favorable weather con itions. and ample labor for cultivat ag a harvesting."
