FORAKER A CANDIDATE.

Senator J. 3. Foraker made his
formal bow to the country last evening
as q candidate for the republican pres
idential nomination, by accepting tho
Endorsement rendered to him by the ad-
viiory and executive committees of the
Ohio republican League of Clubs at
their meeting in Columbus on November
20 He thus sets himst lfup as q rival Of
Ss,retsry of War William Fl. Taft, for
the support of his own State, and hence
forth intends to compete with him in
the quest for delegates to the national
convention.
The league also Endorsed Mr.. Foraker
for reelection to the Senate, but he lays
this Endorsement aside. His rejection
oil il, however, is couched 10 such phrase
ology that by some politicians it may
not be construed as absolutely irrevC-
cable. Yet it is beyond question that he
has subordiDated II clearly and definitely
10 his presidential candidacy. The Sem
stor's announcement of bis entry into
the race for the executive succession is
contained in letter he has sent to Con-
rad ] Mattern, OF Dayton, vice pres
ident Of the republican league.

the administration gladiators feel icy
cbiTIs along their spiDes st the pros
pect of sgain doing battle with
him. they are certain they will
beat Foraker to q slandstll But
though they win, they will know
they have been 10 g fight, and the sd-

is quite likely to limp into the national
con veItion next summer looking some
what the worse for the encounter with &
divided Ohio delegation behind him.
Political wise ones about tie capital see
in the Foraker def even more thsn the
probable division Of the Ohio delega-
ton. They regard it as the cyrslall'z'-
ton OF anti Roosevelt sentiment. They
see in il the hands of Hartman and of
Rockefeller; of the "Reactionsries, "
who are preaching lees streEuOsity and q
return to the political primers of the
fathers; In fact of the entire lat of forces,
corporate, sectional aud individual, that
have lined up 10 opposition TO the pres

strong to tie the Presidents hands in the

Mrs. Bradley's Trial.


Washington, Nov. 30.--Ths last
phase Of the struggle over the fsie OF
Mrs. Bradley, the forensic battle between
the attorneys began today.
Assistant District Attorney Turner
opened The sppeal of the government to
the jury. He was succeeded by At
torney Wells sho made the opening sd-
dress for the defense. The government
will close with District Attorney Baker
on Monday, and the defense with At
torDeys Hoover and Judge Orlando
Powers, the case going to the jary late
Monday afternoon.
Il is said that the government st-
torneys will pin their hope of success to
a verdict Of mauslaughier. This was the
burden of Que of their four prayers
which the court grained in substance,
covering the penalty for the accidental
or uninientional discharge Of the pistol,
while the defendant was threatening the
victims.
The defense, on the other hand, is con-
fident of asqlittal, believing that the
prayer, relating to the reasonable doubt oil
the esnity of the defendant, which wss
granted By the court, will be sufficient
basis Tor verdict Of not guilty.
After Assistant District Attorney
Turner had stated the case from tie
