III BATTLE is ON
Between President Roosevelt and
Senator Foraker.

Senator Charles Dick, old time
friend and colleague Of Senator For
aker, has gone to Ohio to personally
conduct the fight Of the Foraker
against the Taft forces. 1t Is a move
that might have been expected, in
fact was expected as a development
Of the campaign.
The interest lies however in the
fact that Senator Dick has made the
fiat announcement that the Ohio Re-
publican machine is against Roose-
welt, Rooseveltism and any Roosevelt
candidate. Thus the issue is square,
ly made, and 1t will be a finish fight
for neither the President nor Senator
Foraker are in the habit of giving
quarter.
Outsiders may look on with inter
est and gain considerable Instructions
therefrom. 1t is the first serious and
open split in the republican ranks.
and the question that will be settled
for the rest Of the campaign will be
whether or not the presidents per-
~sonality and popularity In his own
party will avail against M Of the
most effective machines in inc of the
worse machine ridden states.
