Foraker In the City Hon. Albert [
CHrlileis Remarks Concerning the /
Brice Senatorial Election,
En- NGovcrnor Foraker Of Ohio arrived |
nj the Ebbitt last night and will to-day
go again before the committee which
two weeks ago begun the investigation
of the Ohio ballot. box forgery. Regard
ing the action of the Ohio Senate in
deposing n Republican Lieutenant
Governor, Mr. Foraker said; ut was
simply q high-handed outrage, done as
IL was without trial or examination Of
witnesses The Republicans would not
dare do such outrageous work"
What do you think of Speaker
Reeds ruling?" was asked.
"Ob, we admire him in Ohio. We
think he is doing just right. The idea
of allowing those rebel brigadiers to OBJ
struct public business and to call the
Speaker hard names is condemned not
only in Ohio, but in all the North.
What a chance there is for some Re-
publican to make q reputation on the
became excited as he said this and got
out of his chair with an excited ges-
ture intimating that he would like to
have an hours talk in the discussion.
In answer to the question, "Would
Reed make good candidate for Presi
dent in 1922" the Ex-Governor an
swered, Yes, and in any other year. !
! don't know whether Ohio would be
II 4 g. IL. ia.
! she might do worse than to select a
! solid delegation for Thomas b. Reed
The eX Governor suggested that
William ii. Taft, the new Solicitor
General, would be a very fit candidate
for Ohio Republicans TO elect Gov
ernor next year.
THE State is Republican, he add
ed, land | do not think Governor
Campbell can be reelected Much, of
course, will depend upon his conduct
and his appointments" Regarding
the investigation, the Governor said: II
know of no new developments, but am
here to hear all and answer what is
asked me-"
The Governor never looked better
He is handsome man, who is noted
for his great capability for work. He
never goes to the theatre nor indulges
in any waste of time. He has hand
some and very cultivated wife, who is
the daughter of Hon. EIeZekiah S.
Bundy, once IA very popular member
of Congress. Foraker courted her
while both were in school together at
Delaware, Ohio. When first married,
Foraker was poor. His father-in law
wanted him TO leave Cincinnati and
practice law in jackson County. "You
can make a good living, have less eX-
pense and probably some time become
n Judge" said the father-in law, who
did not dream how great a man had
married his daughter.
Hon. Albert Garlic, Pittsbura
drummer, who votes in Ohio and has Il
Democratic tendency, makes remark OF
the Brice Senatorial election in Ian
guage like this: "The good storie,
which might be written about tha
affair have never been published.

him, not of his money. He made people

You say he was elected by Standard Oi
Company influence. Well, know
that he was bitterly opposed by til,

his rooms, as did the Payne manager
