Put Upon Senator
Foraker
By the Akron Con-
gresham.
A Columbus Paper
Gives Reasons
Why Senator Foraker Will Man.
age His Own Campaign.

There are abundant reasons for sus,
pecting that the harmony existing be-
tween Senator Forakers friends and
General Dick is not of the class us
uaily desired in a fierce campaign,
says Wednesdays Columbus Dispatch,
and, it is claimed, that this lack Of
harmony cannot be laid at the door of
Senator Foraker, but rather at the door
of General Dick. Senator Foraker
and the entire Hamilton county con-
tingent, including of course, George B.
Cox, felt that General Dick and John
Malioy took snap Judgment ON Sena,
tor Foraker and his friends when Mr.
Malloy called together the state cen.
tral committee for the purpose of elect
ing an executive committee.
Hamilton county people felt pretty
sore over the action of General Dick
in that case and number of the prom
inent politicians there have so express
ed themselves. 1t seemed but natural
| to Senator Foraker and his friends
that he should be consulted relative
to the forming of the executive COM
mittee since the Senator is to be the
most conspicuous character in this
campaign. That he was not consulted
is apparent.
In fact it is claimed that he was as
completely ignored as if he was but Il
candidate for township trustee. Even
| his request for conference with Col
onel Dick before the selection of the
executive committee, was denied.
When he learned that they had taken
snap Judgment in calling the commit
tee together, ignoring Chairman Durr
Senator Foraker Immediately sent
word to General Dick to come where
what had already been done without
a conference. a.
"But," said General Dicks friends,
''the general gave the Senator the
marble heart, and has not so much as
answered the request of Senator For
aker even to this day, thus giving the
| Senator to understand that he Gen
eral Dick) is as important quantity
in Ohio politics, IL not more so, as the
senior Senator, and is not taking Or
ders at least this year, from the SEN
ior Senator"
Senator F1aker, It is said, though
feeling the sight that had been given
him, gave no evidence of his displeas-
ure, but his friends in Hamilton coun-
ty, knowing # the slight, feel disposed
to resent it.
1t is pretty well understood that
Senator For.ker will direct his own
campaign this year without reference
to the DickMalloy arraignment, ns
he feels that his own interests will be
better subseWed than if left to the
chairman AMI secretary Of the state
executive committee.
Some of S,nator Foraker's friends
are under tie impression that some
of Senator Hnna's friends, like the
late Senator John Sherman, are not
overly anxious for Republican col
league for tic Junior Senator. They
are led to thif belief, 1t is said, by just
such action Is was taken by Dick
and Malloy il the matter of calling
the state cenral committee together
Recent deveopments go to show that
while there apparent harmony on
the surface, ii the Republican party,
beneath the arface there is evidence
of discord an, rather than permit the
discord to com to the surface, Senator
Foraker, WHO'S anxious for the sue
cess of the eltire Republican ticket,
will in all prohbility maintain his own
organization n fact it is claimed
that he alreay has an almost per-
feet organizaton, and will be able to
get along wihout the assistance of
Dick and Macy.
