together with the fact that the type OF
architecture common in Latin America,
the Spanish renaissance, was adopted for
the exposition, rendered feasible the CON-

before.

FOR THE SENATE
Foraker viii Surely be lndOrSed by the
State Convention.

"A Washington dispatch contains the
following very interesting matter on
the question of the Ohio Senatorship:
With suggestive unanimity, Ohioans
coming to Washington continue to pre-
dict that Senator Foraker will be in
dorsed for reelection when the next
Republican State Convention meets.
While Senator Foraker has made no
formal public declaration of his posi-
tion or desires, it is known to his
friends that he expects the convention
TO follow the precedent established in
his case and in that of Mr. Hanna. and
indorse him as the Republican candi-
date for the United States Senate
The Senator'S friends-that Is, his
close personal and political friends
are confident that such an Endorsement
would strengthen the ticket and would
insure Republican control of the Legis-
lature. Those Ohio Republicans who
may not be properly classed as the
Senator's close personal and political
friends are equally in favor of the in
iorsement because they say the Sem
ator is clearly entitled to it.
The most prominent of the Ohioans
in Washington today was L. c. Lay
lin, Secretary of State-elect. who is
here to close up his affairs as receiver
of the New Lisbon National Bank. He
has resigned that position, and a new
receiver will be appointed at once
Judge G. Moore. who was the lega,
representative of Mr. Laylin during his
incumbency of the receivership, prob
ably will be selected by Comptroller of
the Currency Dawes as the new re-
ceiver.
During the day Mr.. Daylin saw Sen
ators Hanna and Foraker and many
other Ohio leaders, including Represen-
tatives Dick and Grosvenor The poll
tical situation in Ohio was briefly dis
cussed with all of them.
Speaking of the situation in Ohio,
Mr.. Laylin predicted that Governor
Nash would be re-nominated by accla-
nation, and said there was no reason
to doubt that the State would go over
whelmingly Republican next fall
Asked if the State Convention would
indorse Senator Foraker's candidacy
for reelection, Mr.. Laylin replied. as
Senator Hanna and General Dick have,
by saying: "Yes, sir, Foraker will be
indorsed if he wants it,

HEAVY TRADING

New York. Dec. 21.-There was no
alteration in the character of the
stock market today. Trading contin-
ued on "a very large scale and the tone
was strong. Possibly interest was a
trine less broad than on some previous
days of the week.
Buying showed a tendency to con-
gestion in certain stocks, and the spec
ialized strength of few stocks was
the dominant influence in sustaining
prices. The expectation was rather
general that movement to take prof
its would develop during the day. The
prolonged continued rise and the i'm
inence of the holidays both suggested a
likelihood of the protit-taking move
ment. Spectators as a rule are
averse to leaving their money tied up
in the stock market over prolonged
holidaysl Loans were made today to
carry over until Wednesday next. The
continued ease of money in spite of the
carrying over of loans until Wednes-
day and the favorable forecast of the
bank statement gave a final fill UP to
the market and it closed anincated and
