was much interest in the visit paid
to United States Senator Charles Dick
by Secretary John r. Malloy, of the
State Executive committee The OBJ
,ject of their meeting. it was stated
was to pass upon the question
whether Malloy should take up his
old place at state headquarters during
the coming campaign. The secre-
tary's friends say that 1t is his wish
to retire and give way to another
man, and that Senator Dick had been
informed OF this desire. Upon learn
ing it he requested his old lieutenant
to come to Akron and talk over the
matter.
1t was Mr.Malloy's intention, after
the conference. to go to Cleveland,
and from there to Catawba Island on
Lake Erie to join his family for a
vacation. Publication has been made

part. His present intention is to re-
main an active participant as pri-
vate in the ranks and not to accept
any honorary or lucrative Office. Of
fers have been made him of good po-
sitions which would necessitate his
leaving this city, but he has not yet
made up his mind to take this STEP
LONG AT HEADQUARTERS.
1t may be that he will be asked to
remain in the secretaryship until the
coming campaign is ended. Mr.. NAL
10y has been so long at headquarters
that the Republican leaders here can
scarcely believe that change is COM
ing. A dissolution of the old firm of
Dick and Malloy would seem like the
destruction of an ancient landmark.
In this connection it may be said
that the Cedar Point gathering of
statesmen last week developed the
fact that the opposition to the con-
tinuance of Senator Dick in the chair
manship is much wider and deeper
than one would suppose. No atten-
ton, or very little, is being paid to
the work of the anti-Dick organiza-
tion in this city. At Cedar Point
friends of the senator, in exchanging
views, found to their surprise and dis
may that the feeling in the state is
wide and that the demand for a
change is very strong.
A peculiar feature of this move
ment is that there is no personal hos
tility to Senator Dick, but only a
feeling that he will hurt himself and
the party if he remains at the head
of the state organization. The local
cabal is looking for strong man to
head its somewhat feeble movement,
but has met with no success, although
several persons of that description
were invited to take part within the
past two weeks.
1t is recognized, however, that If
some one who can command such a
movement should arise that there
will be serious troubles started for
Senator Dick Were the fight to be
precipitated tomorrow he would win
easily, and those who are now oppos-
ing him would do the loudest shout
ing for him, What the situation will
be five weeks from now is quite an
other story.
HERRICK WILL DRAW 1T MILD.
From authoritative sources comes
the statement that Ex-Governor My
ron T. Herrick will not deliver a raw
head-and-bloody bones keynote speech
as chairman of the temporary Repub-
llcan convention. In some way the
story got af1oat that the former Chief
Executive intended to turn his vocal
batteries loose upon the men and ac-
tions that caused last years defeat
and that he would drag the bandages
and safety pins off the party's cuts
and bruises. Intimate friends, hear
ing these rumors, interviewed him,
and through them it is stated that he
has given assurances that his address
Will be of conservative character.
1t will deal largely with the future

its dead This is all very we'll in it's
way, but there may be some differ
ence OF understanding as to what con-
stitutes a conservative speech. Then
again, the future of any political
party or organization is a delicate
thing, with which it is not safe to
monkey.
Governor Herrick is well aware
that the Dick-Foraker alliance con-
tains no beneficiary clause for him.
Things of recent occurrence and pres
ent plans have. left and are intended
to leave him out OF consideration.
For this reason, If for nothing else it
is safe prediction that neither of the
senators win give three cheers and a
tiger at the close of the avoOuaruarjS
