When THE DISPATCH man caught up with him
he said he had no time to talk about the result
in Ohio and the causes which led to Foraker's
defeat One might just as well have gotten as
much information on the subject at issue from
one of the Pan-American delegates who could
not talk English as to get an opinion from the
six-foot Senator. About as much as he would
say WAS that Campbell was good man, and un.
doubtedly would make good Governor. This

he was accosted by Congressman Bayne, who
interviewed him, but not for publication.
