Senator Foraker created Il sensation
bv declarations which indicated to dele
gates that he was opposing Senator
Hanna When tine members of the
McKisson delegation arrived they SER
ena6ed Senator Foraker at the South
ern hotel, the headquarters of the anti
Hanna and anti-NaSh men. The sena-
tor laid he joined them i'll putting on
his fighting clothes and closed his
speech thus:
I'VE are on the eve of great politi-
cal battle and Ohio is to play /, most I'M
portant part in this battle and 1 say to
You that she must be right. This con-
vention is most important one and if
we are to have right and prestige with
US we must let the people of our party
have voice i'll our councils. l say
here and now that believe you men to
be loyal, legal representatives Of your
party and | hope TO see you stand i'll the
convention.
Hon. H. NJ. Daugherty was serenaded
and made a speech, which some in
terpretea in connection with the speech
of Senator Foraker as indicating that
the field was showing defiance to Sena-
tor Hanna and Judge Nash, Mr..
Daugherty said i'll closing: 81 have no
quarrel with any man within or with
out the Republican party-unless he
should by mistake forget that it is with
in the province of the peoplU to make
the candidate for rsgovernor.
Ar tbp iii mppt1uUS IN tba after
noon the combine, including the Daugh-
erty, Cox and kurtZ forces, had Il bare
majority and secured control of the COM
mittees, including the pivotal point i'll
the organization conceded to be vested
in the committee on credentials, but the
Hanna and Nash men claimed ma
jorlty of the delegates by counties. The
first and second districts, after affirming
their previous action at Cincinnati, met
Jointly and adopted resolution author
izing Chairman Cox to cast the Sc votes
of Hamilton county i'll the convention
under the unit rule. There was talk
among the delegates about presenting
ex-CongresSCilan John A. Caldwell OF
Cincinnati for lieutenant governor, if
Congressman Shattuc or no other mans
from Hamilton county got first place.
Owing to the intense feeling over the
contested delegations from seven coun-
ties, the state coutral committee at
tempted to decide what constituted
cause for IL contest. The committee de-
cided III tue case of Hamilton county
what did not constitute cause for con-
test by ruling that contests would be
decided on the party law as exporlnded
in the call of this year and not on the
calls for state conventions i'll former
years.
This seated the Cox delegation i'll the
temporary organization and gives it full
representation for the First and Second
congressional districts on all the COM
mittees.
The action of the state committee
showed an alliance of the field against
Nash, that the Daugherty, Cox and
Kurtz forces We're pulling together on
the selection of members of the commit
tee on credentials and in other prelimi-
nary work This would imply the seat
ing of the HolcOmb delegations from
Cleveland against both the Hanna and
McKisSon delegations, and it eliminated
Mayor McKisson not only from this con-
but also from the old combine
with Kurtz, Bushnell and others.
When il comes to balloting for COVER
nor the action of the state committee
,Till' also have its effect, but the extent
of its final influence cannot be pre-
dicted
RESOLUTIONS COMPLETED.
