STATESMEN

Situation in Ohio Reveals Conditions Which May Develop
Fierce fractional Fight.

As the heavy iron gates upon the vault

Yesterday, the political friends of the
( late Senator Hanna turned away from
the tomb. dried their weeping eyes. and
hurried back 10 their hotels to discuss
the Senatorial situation. and lay their
plans for the cleo ton OF his successor.
preliminary preparations for the con-
test have, of course. been going on ever
since 1t became known that the Sena-
tors illness would result in his death;
there has been a quiet mobilization OF

which promises 10 be most interesting.
No one is able To ssv what the outcome
will be. or what tie effect will be upon
Ohio politics. AS heretofore stated. the
! logical successor of the late Senator
would seem to be the Hon Charles Dick.
OF the Akron district, yet logic and poll
tics do not always go hand In hand.
There are too many men i'm the game
playing politics 10 give heed altogether
to logic.
Only one thing seems at present
reasonably certain in the preliminary
/ stages of the contest. and Ihat is that
/ the new Senator will be a north Ohio

south Ohio man, and. therefore. the
chances lie in General Dick. Representa-
tive Burton and Governor Herrick. the

Hanna organization intact there would

their old chief is gone, some OF them

selves behind the heaviest guns.
Herrick in Race.
A complication I'm the situation results
/ from the fact that, much to the sur
prise Of many of his friends and those
who supported him earnestly I'm the last
campaign. Governor Herrick is disposed
/ to enter the race. The phenomenal ma
jority which Governor Herrfck received

seemingly unable TO curb his ambition.

when he ha>' had very little political ex-

support General Dick would mean yield
ing 20 his old political adversaries. al
though there has been circulated re-
port that if General Dick is elected
there will be an understanding that
Foraker is TO be the recognized leader
in Ohio.
Situation Complicated.
Governor Herrick is just as much a
member of the ahti-Foraker faction as
is General Dick, but it would seem
more probable that inasmuch as Sena-
tor Foraker cannot elect a man Of his
own first choice that he would prefer
TO have Governor Herrick as his col
league rather than either General Dick
or MIR Burton The treasOns are quite
obvious.
Governor Herrick is inexperienced in
politics. while Foraker is a veteran, and
in consequence could with greater ease
establish his supremacy over Herrick.
Besides, and this is important. Governor
Herrick has been in Office so short a
time that he has made practically no
appointments, and the boys are pa
tiently awaiting their recognition, wait
ing for the pie To be passed around.
Should Governor Herrick leave the gov
errors chair and come TO the Senate ne
would be succeeded by Lieutenant Cow
ernor Harding a Foraker partisan and
factionist. His elevation would give the
control of the State patronage TO the
ForakeIites. and thus still further help
TO establish the supremacy of the solon
from Cincinnati. In consequence there
is no little alarm felt among the anti
Foraker Republicans over Governor
Herricks attitude. and his refusal 70
declare that he is not candidate for
the Senate
Already there are indications that
Foraker and Herrek are making an ef-
fort to get together, although the gov
ernor. who has always been allied with
the other faction. cannot afford 10 es-
tabiish an open alliance with the Sem
ator. because such action might ALLEVIATE
some of his supporters. Altogether the
situation over the Senatorial vacancy IS
likely TO bring about material change
in the Republican party in the State.
