eardcd in Ohio politics that It was MIR. Cox
who discovered Mr.. Foraker and who
started him on the road to political distinction
Tho story OF the day Is simple. In 1t are
homely truths which will be appreciated by
Republicans in the nation. 1t tells OF new
political alignment In the Republican politics
of the Buckeye State. Senator Hanna and Mr..
Cox from this day must be considered the great
Republican factors In the political machinery
OF the State The following of Senator Foraker.
whose chief lieutenants in this Tight have been
National Committeeman Charles J.. Kurtz.

defeat the nomination for Governor OF e2-
Judge Nash. Mr.. Kurtz. Mr.. Dadgherty. Mr..
Bushnell Mr.. Holcomb. and Mr. MeKisson
have been -" out in the open" in their advocacy
OF either Mr.. Daugherty or MIR. Jones for Gov

the candidate 81 Senator Hanna. Senator
Foraker. before he left his home In Cincinnati
10 come here. decided that it was not neces-
sary for him to mix up In this turmoil. His
friends got around him yesterday. however.
and after counselling with them Mr.. Foraker
declared that he believed that Lieut.. Gov.
Jones should be promoted to the Governors
chair, and that the McKisson delegates In
Cuyahoga county were righteously entitled to
seats in the convention.
Ex.Mayor McKisson has been the most bitter
political adversary that Senator Hanna has had
in many years. Mr. McKisson and Mr.. Hanna
are neigh bors In Cleveland. As soon as Sena-
tor Hanna aScertalneC tndV MS coiiedeue III VIC
United States Senate had advocated the seat

He felt badly to think that Senator Foraker
would attempt to interfere In quarrel which
was both political and personal. He kept his
temper, though. but the greetings between the
two men as they happened to meet after Mr..
Foraker's declaration were noticeably distant.
The State Central Committee decided to seat
the Holcomb delegation from Cuyahoga
county. and the Committee on Credentials.
which sat until 3 o'clock this morning, con-
frmed the decision OF the State Committee.
The Hanna delegation. the third contesting
delegation from Cuyahoga county, was not
considered either by the state Committee or
the Committee on Credentials.
With the rising OF this mornings sun the
Foraker kurtz- Bushnell Daugherty- Mckis-
on-Holcomb combine was intact. and was
abroad declaring that e1-Judge Nash should
not be nominated for Governor. Senator
Hanna was also around early. He got up be-

Senator Hanna had learned before tumb bling
out Of bed that the Committee on Credentials
had decided all the contests IN favor OF the
com bine led by Senator Foraker. The Hon.
Marcus Aurelius had grim smile and said:
We'll. I guess it's about time that got

He was quickly in conference with Mr.. Cox.
the ancient friend OF Senator Foraker. and In
less time than 1t takes to tell it Senator Hanna
decided, with the aid OF Mr.. Cox to invade the
citadel Of Senator Foraker, Just as Senator
Foraker yesterday invaded tho Hanna citadel
