ticians are much interested in the ac-
tions of Senator Foraker with refer
ence to the organization Of the house
of Representatives. During the cam
paign Hal d. Landon was connected
with the Republican committee in a
confidential capacity and did work for
many Republican newspapers Of the
state, that was furnished free by the
committee. Thus he controlled the
editorial policy of lot Of Republican
papers who allowed the state committee
to do their thinking for them. He did

ly congratulated him and he was con-
sidered one of the most useful of the
attaches of the committee. He has re-
turned to Washington newspaper work
and Is sending out some stories VITA
reference to the situation in Ohio. His
close connection with Chairman Dick
gives his notions about the situation
some Importance. He predicts tho
election of Aaron e. Price. of Athens.
for speaker; II. v. Spellman, of Mari
eta, for clerk of the house and f. e.
Scobie, of Troy, for clerk of the SEN
ate. These are the fat plums, and 1t
is declared that Senator Foraker has
the matter under control. ; s

ASKS MARK FIRST.
He may take a little credit for land
ing a few plums for former friends,
but 1t is patent to everybody who has
watched the situation at all, that what.
ever Foraker gets he gets after first
consulting Hanna. The last state con-
vention was strictly a Hanna affair
and In IT Foraker was endorsed Both
senators spoke from the same platform
at the Delaware opening of the cam
paign, and the manner In which they
jollied each other reached the point of
nausea. They did this throughout the
campaign and have played matters to-
gether ever since. So Foraker may
have it given out that he Is to handle
these selections for the latest jobs
in the legislature organization. but no
handles them simply because Hanna
and his friend Dick do not want to, X
he handles them at all.f Dick wants to
be governor. He has exploited himself
in that direction for some time, and
his spectacular work during the cam
paign. that most any chairman could
have won as handily as he did, was all
directed for himself. Governor Nash
was considered q weak brother, but
he had to be landed by big majority
to make Dick solid. Enough mistakes
were made by the Democrats to give
the Republican ticket a big boost, and
all of this has redounded to the glory
of Dick.
AS soon as the campaign was over
the organization of the house was
talked Of Dick and his men took q
hand in It, Some of them made declar-
ations that must have put other can
didates in no excellent frame of mind.
There were mutterings that dictation
would not be stood for. and then came
the Garfield banquet at Youngstown.
Dicks boom for governor was not heard
around the state because of that af-
fair.
THE YOUNGSTOWN FAILURE.
The party was not successful as q
launching party for q gubernatorial
candidate, and Dick has simply found
1t necessary to take his fingers out OF
