Predicted.

Washington, March 24.-Surface
signs indicate a truce between the
warning republican factions in Ohio
and some politicians entertain hope
that the truce will be followed soon by
harmony.
Senator Dick has held several con-
ferences with Senator Foraker. The

Of the wings of the republican party
in Ohio attracted the attention of all
senators upon the floor.
Viewed from the gallery, every out
ward sign indicates that Mr.. Dick and
Mr.. Foraker are reaching an under
standing. They kept their heads to-
gether In whispered conversation, first
one and then the other nodding ap-
prevail. Mr.. Dick was in his GUS
tomary cheerful mood, and repeatedly
laughed over Mr.. Foraker's remarks.
It is the understanding here that
altho Senator Foraker will not con-
troll one-sixth of the delegates in the
state convention, he will be selected as
one of the four delegates at large
from Ohio to the Chicago convention
the other three being Senator Dick
