OHIO REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
MEETS AT COLUMBUS TO REG
LISTER HIS DEGREES
FINISH OF CHARLEY FOSTER
Bumped OFF the State Central Com
mittee for Opposing the Power
Behind the Mckinley Ad-
ministratiOn

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 4-The Re-
publican state convention met here this
afternoon with a large attendance At
the conferences during the forenoon in
terest centered in the control Of the new
state committee, the construction of the
platform, and the opposition Of the state
anti-saloon league to the denomination
of Lieut.. Gov. Caldwell. The issues on
Caldwell and the resolutions are still be-
ing agitated tonight, but the contest for
state committeeman resulted in what is
called unanimous victory for the Han
ma faction, which included the friends of
GOV. Nash. The result assures the re-
election Of Congressman Charles Dick as
chairman of the state executive COM
mittee.
When the delegates met in the after
noon by congressional districts the Han
ma faction swept everything in the
twenty-one districts. In the Thirteenth
district, Charles Foster, ex-secretary of
the treasury; ex-governor, congressman
and for many years a delegate at large
TO national conventions, was defeated for
member of the state central committee
because of his opposition to Senator
Hanna. EX-Gov. Bushnell had been
elected as a delegate and had been made
chairman of the Clark county delegation,
but at the meeting of the delegates of his
district it was Informally announced
that he would not attend the conven-
ton. His friends gave some very point
ed reasons for his absence. After his de-
feat Charles Foster vehementIy ad-
dressed the delegates of his district on
"clfques." and 'intrigues'' and on the
dangers of local Imperialism.
HANNA THE WHOLE THING.
The Hanna men have never before been
able to control the party organization in
the Columbus district but today, al
though Harry M. Daugnerty made a per-
sonal appeal in a strong speech at the
meeting Of the Twelfth district, the
Hanna faction secured everything In
the Seventh district, the home of Harry
M. Daugherty, a strong effort was made
to postpone the selection of a committee
man till the committee on credentials re-
ports but the appeals Of the Daugherty
men were ignored.
The large auditorium was crowded
when Senators Foraker and Hanna came
upon the stage together They were
warmly greeted. Among those occupy
ing seats upon the stage were Mr.. Jose
c. Barbosa and DR.. Jose Gomez Brioso,
members of the executive council of
Porto Rico. who are on a tour of gov
ernmental inspection.
After prayer by Rev. N. w Good, of
Columbus, P. w Durr, chairman of the
state central committee, in a brief
speech, congratulated the Republicans of
Ohio on the result of the Ohio campaign
last year and predicted victory for this
year. Then he introduced Senator For
aker as the temporary chairman of the
convention. Senator Foraker was most
enthusiastically received and spoke at
length.
