Senator Foraker Brands
As q Lie.

The Cincinnati Enquirer yesterday
morning carried under . New York
date line. q story on Ohio politics, pur-
porting to be . dispatch to the New
York Herald from its correspondent In
Columbus. The dispatch began: SAC.
cording to story coming from Wash
ington, and generally credited among
Ohio politicians who have heard 1t,
Senator Hanna received the first init
nation of the fight which Senasor For
aker is making to wrest the leadership
of the Republican party in the State
from him, through President Roose-
yelt."
The dispatch goes on to say that 'it
is said" that Senator Foraker called on
President Roosevelt At the White
House, "supposing" him to be un-
friendly to Senator Hanna, and stated
to the President his Foraker's) views
on the Ohio situation. saying Hanna
was disturber and not . leader, and
that the President would best subserve
his own interest by not allowing him
self to be unduly Influenced by Mr..
Hanna. The President. according to
the dispatch, said not . word in reply
to Mr.. Foraker, one way or the other,
but on the first opportunity called Mr..
Hanna to dine At the White House with
him. where he told him all about the
visit of Senator Foraker and what he
had said, thus giving Mr.. Hanna, so
the story would make believe, the Arst
that Senator Foraker had
started fight against him and had
tried to ssknock'' him with the Presi-
dent.
President Roosevelt, after telling all
to Mr.. Hanna, the dispatch reads. ad-
the Senator to keep In close
touch with affairs in Ohio, ''lest he be
taken unawares."
Senator Foraker last night authoriz-
ed the following statement concerning
the story in the Enquirer:
'sThe story published in the Enquirer
this morning from New York to the Of
fect that 1 spoke to the President in .
manner OF Senator Hanna,
and that the President communicated
The same to Senator Hanna and advis-
ID him to be on his guard lest he have
srouble to maintain his leadership in
Ohio politics, is an unqualified false
hood from beginning to end. I never
,ad any such talk with the President,
md it is not creditable to him to sup
oase that he would have retold It 70 |

THE situation as to the contest In
the Ohio legislature, between the Fora
ker and anti-Foraker forces have
changed but little since our last issue,
but that little has been against the
anti FORAKER crowd. There are
enough members of the Legislature,
however, whose position is not we'll
defined, with enough who cannot be
counted on to do what they say, to
make the situation still doubtful. The
Foraker men on one side and the
Hanna men on the other, however,
are both confident that they are sure
