The Ohio Senator Issues a
Spirited RejOinder
To the Statement of State
Chairman Brown.
WILL NOT BE BOSSED
He Declares by Anybody Inside
or Outside of Ohio.
Will Abide by Action of the
State Convention.

Washington, May Ex-senator For
aker today issued a spirited rejoinder
to the statement made public at Co
lumbus, Ohio, yesterday by Chairman
Brown of the Republican state central
committee, embo dying his views and
those of Governor Harris and other
state officials respecting Ohio's choice
of candidate for president. The
senator says it is difficult to make a
polite answer" to a part of Chairman
Browns statement. declaring that
for frank, dictatorial and offensive
bossism, it far exceeds anything 1 can
recall ..---
He gives definite notice that he not
only resents Chairman Browns dicta-
ton, but that his choice for the presi-
dency will be named by the next con-
venticn of Ohio Republicans and that
he will abide by that choice.
Following is the. text of Senator
Foraker'S statement:
1.-The state officers have a right to
their preferences and to declare it
when they like, but such declarations
do not dispose of the necessity for a
convention, nor change my opinion
that the voters should be given
chance to be heard before final action
has been taken.
eff the Republicans of Ohio are ALL
or overwhelmingly or even by bare
majority in favor of Secretary Taft
his friends need not either fear the
holding them.
mo one need suffer, certainly not
wrongfully, if we proceed in order in
stead Of trying to rush conclusions by
unofficial announcements and declara-
tions.
80 far as the control of the state
organization is concerned, 1 have
never made any claim to that. 1 have
always supposed that organizations
were mere party machinery and not
the personal property of anyone, not
even the chairman of the state CEN
trail committee.
"As to the rest of Mr.. Browns
statement, it is difficult to make a
polite answer. For frank dictatorial
and offensive bossism, it far exceeds
anything / can recall. 1t amounts to
a threat that unless declare for Mr..
Taft I shall lose the senatorship. That
may be, but If SO the fact has no
terrors for me.
81 said at Canton that I would not
be dictated to by. any kind of a boss,
big or little, inside or outside the
just such bosses as Mr.. Brown. and
for just such performances as he is
now giving US.
ITO be specific, I emphatically re-
sent his dictation and give him notice
that my choice for the presidency will
be named by the next Ohio Repub-
lican convention that is lawfully held
to nominate state officers. and that so
far as I am personally concerned, I
shall abide by the action of that con-
vention as to whether I shall be a
candidate again for any office, and if
so, what that office shall be-

Graft Cases Reported.

Kansas City. NO, May 1S.-Gover-
nor Joseph w. Folk remained in Kan
sas City most of today and conferred
further with the members of the board
of police commissioners regarding
charges of police corruption. Yester-
day allegations of various kinds re-
fleeing upon the department were laid
before him by the commissioners, but
when the governor finished his day s
work, which extended far into the
night, he declined to dfvulge the ma
ture of the information he had re-
ceived Nor would he intimate how
extensive the contemplated shake up
in the force would likely be. All ques-
lions were referred to the commission
ers themselves. but these three officers
were equally reticent
Governor Folk is quoted as ex-
pressing establishment at the mum Der
and character of the graft cases re-
ported to him.
Governor Folk said he would leave
Kansas City late this afternoon. Dur
ing the day." said he, ''I shall confer

Secretary. D. Y. Wilson of Belle
vile. Republic county.
Clerk, Clarence Smith, Topeka
The election of Clarence Smith to
the position of clerk has been prac-
tically agreed upon. Mr.. Smith will
resign the office of head bill clerk in
the office of the auditor of disburse-
ments of the Santa Fe. He has been
16 years. Mr.. Smith is very well
known and popular in Topeka, and the
tax commission is fortunate in finding
such a/competent man willing to take
the place.
D. Y. Wilson was chief clerk of the
last house of representatives and is
now engaged in preparing the copy
for the house journal. AS both S. G,
drummer and James Humphrey, mem
bers of the tax commission, are from
the Fifth congressional district, where
Mr.. Wilson lives, he has been on the
inside track for the appointment for
some time.
The, secretaryship pays $4,000 a
year, and the clerkship $1,000.
1t is probable that the tax commits
sion will be given the rooms now oc-
cupied by the Kansas Academy of
Science in the west wing basement,
and the Academy of Science collection
of minerals and manufactured prod
ucts will be moved to the fourth floor
and added to the state museum. The
academy library will be placed in
some of the rooms adjoining the mu-
scum. The tax commission wanted
the rooms of the travelling libarries
commission. but the executive council
could not see it that way.
