DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. I2.--Senators Charles
Dick and Joseph b. Foraker dominated
to-day's session Of the Republican State
convention and carried their points In
whirlwind style.
The recalcitrant faction led by Congress-
man Theodore E. Burton Of Cleveland and
Harry NJ. Daughsrty Of Columbus, was
overwhelmed In every specific fight both
In committee meetings and on the floor
Of the convention.
The two Senators not only were COM
mended, but they forced the convention
to indorse them more cordially h Il In
dorsed President Roosevelt.
The attempt Of the Burton men to Dust
Dick as chairman of the State executive
committee, to which he was reelected last
night by the new State central committee,
failed by the vote of 67s to 2sS. This showed
the strength Of the Senatorial alliance and
the Burton cohorts.
All the State leaders made speeches both
on the motion to GUST Dick as State chair
man and on adopting the platform. Foraker
came to the rescue Of his colleague, APP
peallng to the delegates In these words:
Il see no reason why q man who was
good enough to be cha irman for President
Mckinley and who was unanimously chosen
United states Senator, should not now DO
good enough to be chairman"
Daugherty tried to reply, but he was
Kissed repeatedly and It was with difficulty
that he made himself heard. The Organi-
cation delegates ran roughshod over the
Burtonites and conceded them nothing.
The Senators were Endorsed "unreserved-
w." While Roosevelt was commended
heartily" The platform reads az follows
on the Endorsement question;
we most heartily and without reserve
approve and indorse our distinguished
Senators, Joseph Benson Foraker and
Charles Dick. Ohio's representatives In
the Senate have ever held a commanding
position among statesmen OF h nation,
and we glory in the conspicuous and effective
work of Senators Foraker and Dick in
legislative accomplishment and Republic
can leadership"
The reference to Roosevelt follows: "We
most heartily approve and indorse Theo-
dore Roosevelt and his administration
Of public affairs. His sagacity, patriotism,
commanding honesty and oourage, his
lofty ideals Of public duty and of private
citizenship nave won for him a unique
place IN the confidence and regard OF the
American people"
Secretary Taft wss ignored altogether,
although he Is an Ohioan.
