BAKER
Knows His Business.
Announces That Anti
Saloon League
Will Not Figure In Presi-
Dental Campaign.
will Try TO Defeat Foraker
Next Year,
And After That Will Tackle Senator
Hanna.

Columbus O., July 20.--A slight diff
ference of opinion has arisen between
Superintendent Baker, of the Anti
Saloon League, and j. J. Ashenhurst,
the chairman of the Prohibition State
committee. Mr.. Baker has returned
to the city after his summer vaca ton,
and his paen of JOY over the resignation
of Cox as National committeeman
was cut in half by the tale of the re-
Ashenhu"st for "fiunking" in its fight
against Mckinley. Mr.. Baker said
the League hadn't flunked.
I'VE never made any preparations
to fight Mckinley he said, "Mr. Ash.
enhurst to the contrary notwithstand
ing. That contract is too much for us
this year. We would be foolish to
break up the organization of the
League in states where we are not as
yet strong by biting off more than we
can chew. We are taking no part in
the campaign this year, and are re-
serving our energies for the battle next
year, when we expect to defeat For
aker for the United States Senate"
Mr.. Baker did not pretend that the
Leagues passive part In the campaign
this year was induced by any liking for
Mckinley, or by approval of his con-
duct. The lenders Of the League are
playing politics, and are not undertak.
ing contracts which are too much for
them.
When the conversation turned on
Cox's retirement from the position Of
National committeeman, Baker eX-
pressed his opinion that the matter
had been pre-arranged. Cox was given
an election as a means of vindication,
it being understood that he would re-
sign Immediately.
IF that isn't the case, then Cox
weakened under fire." said he. His
resignation saved us a large printing
bill. We had cords of stuff ready to be
used against him. Yes, Cox knew what
we had. His information was pretty
full ON that point, but we had not yet
printed the matter, as has been stat

Or 90 Out of The Eusinoss-Campaign
to Open S9on.

Columbus, O., July 20.-"Macing'
and "fat-frying' will he important
factors in the Republican campaign in
Ohio this year. Arrangements were
made long ago by which it was thought
n large amount of money could be
squeezed out of the rich Republicans
of Ohio, and the process is now going
on.
Treasurer Burdell, although his
name will be attached to the usual
hold.up circular, will hardly he the
chief man in the mace" department
this fall. Burdell will be merely the
receiving end of the battery. Chair
man Dick himself Will devote as much
time as possible to the work, and state
Senator $. l.. Patterson, one of the
members of the state executive COM
mittee, will have general supervision
of this branch of the campaign. In
this he will likely be assisted by
Frank Cook, the secretary of the
Board of Managers of the Penitentiary
Cook will be d sort of travelling cOllec-
tor for the state committee.
His ability as a collector first became
known three years ago, when Harry
NJ. Daugherty, then chairman of the
state committee, dug him up, and sent
him over the state on IA stand-and-de
liver errund. Cook was SO eminently
successful in this mission that he was
annexed by the Hannaites when they
gained control OF the state machinery.
He was made secretary of the Board
of Managers of the Penitentiary, in
stead of being given another place up
on which he had set his eyes, on the
distinct understanding that he would
be at the service of the campaign com
mittee. AS his present place does not
occupy much Of his time he will he

satisfaction of both employers.
Treasurer Burdell of the state exec
uliNe committee, admits III the most in
mands to be made this year upon fed
eral employees. 1--WE are the nest egg of
the Administration, said Mr.. Burdell.
I'VE are the finest and fattest duck in
the paddle. We will be taken care
of"
Other of Mr.. Rurdclls remarks have
been placed under IN embargo as the
able Treasurer was unwilling to take
the public entirely into his confidence.
However, 1t may he stated that contri-
buttons will he levied upon every Fed

from whence they come, are to be re-
garded as the legitimate prey of the
Ohio soap-makers. This gives Ohio n
vast advantage oyer other states in
the matter of revenue, but, then. Ohio
is the Presidents home state, and
General Dick proposes to roll up n
good majority here this fall or go out
of the business. Last fall, although
