Foraker Men Took the Senate and Elected All the
 Minor Officers
PRICE SAYS PLEDGES
 ARE EASIER THAN VOTES
He Declares Himself for Hanna Two Years Hence and Finishes By EuIoaizlng the Man Who
 Had Just Defeated Him.

Columbus, O.. January 4.-In the Re publican caucuses this afternoon for the organization of the general assembly the Hanna men secured control of the house and the Foraker men of the Senate. Some of the nominations for the latter were made without opposition but there was flight to a finish for those of the house, especially for the speakership. There was no compromise in either caucus. In the Senate the Senators make up the stand- ing com mittees themselves. In the house the speaker appoints all the committees and the contest was primarily for the speakership.
 Representative Cole in presenting the name of W. S. McKinnon of Ashtabula, for speaker denied that McKinnon's cleo ton could be construed as humiliation of Senator Foraker whose reelection they all desired.
 Price Made Sensational Speech. Representative Guerin in presenting the name of Aaron p. Price of Athens Tor speaker repeated the statement that Price had been endorsed originally by both Senators and other Republican leaders He denounced outside influences and the threats to make "one termers' out of certain members.
 McKinnon was nominated over Price on the first ballot, by vote of 3S to 30. Al ter McKinnon's address Price made the sensational speech of the day by nominat- ing and declaring himself for Hanna for reelection to the senate two years hence. Price said that he found 1t easier, to get pledges than votes and eulogized Hanna and McKinnon to whom he credited his defeat
 Burgess L. McElroy was nominated for reelection as chief clerk of the house over H. " Speetman on the first ballot. The Foraker representatives made their last hard stand for Speelman. The slate went as follows

 The result of the Senate nominations was due to George B. Cox of Cincinnati. The opposition today proposed to Cox that he name new slate and the only placc the others were to ask on it was fhe chief clerkship for W. B. Uhl of Cleveland Cox insisted that he had pledged himself for Archer Scobey and others and could not change his course. The result of the nominations may be far-reaching in it's effects. The presuse of the Ohio Senators at present with the national administration and future na- tional and state campaigns; the reap portionment of the congressional districts ao as to affect those who are now in Congress, and also those wanting to go to Congress; the next gubernatorial and oth- CT nominations for state officers, as well as the reelection of Senator Hanna two years hence have been openly and freely 5iscussed. as the contest was waged the past week.
