FORAKER TO
FIGHT TAFT
HE WANTS PRIMARIES IN OHIO
TO DECIDE STATES
PREFERENCES

Washington. March 2S-That Sen
ator Joseph b. Foraker does not con-
cede that Secretary William II. Taft
will be Ohio's choice for the Repub-
lican Presidential nomination next
year is made plain by the statement
Issued by the Senator today.
Senator Foraker says that he does
not want any political honors from
the people of Ohio without their
hearty APPROVAL He suggests that
the proper way to determine who is
the choice OF the people to head the
Republican national ticket and to
represent the State i'm the United
States Senate is for the Republican
State Executive Committee to au-
thorize a primary election to choose
delegates TO the State convention
which will be called upon TO deter
mine these questions
FORCED BY VORY'S STAND.
The announcement OF the State
Superintendent of Insurance Arthur
l. Vorys that he will support Secre-
tary Taft for the Presidential nom
ination led Senator Foraker. It is
believed, to issue the statement out
lining his position. The Senator de-
clares that he is willing to go before
the people on his record and that he
has nothing to conceal from his
constituents"
Mr.. Foraker does not say that he
will be candidate 20 succeed Presl-
dent Roosevelt, but It is generally
understood among his friends i'm
Washington that at later date he
will formally announce his candidacy
and that If the primary election Is
called in Ohio he will enter into the
fight TO secure the Endorsement OF his
own State.
SENATOR FORAKER's STATE
MENT.

full follows:

position to even think about politics.

The subject of denatured alcohol
is being made plain to the farmers
of this state, through addresses by
Senators Hansbrougn and McCumber
and Congressman Marshall, and the
farmer whose inclinations are toward
the manufacture Of this product
should receive much enlightenment
as to the process and the provisions
that have ben made by the govern
ment to the end that it may be chaep-
" manufactured and without the
payment Of the special tax levied up
on the manufacture of the ordinary
alcoholic product. There is no ques-
ton but denatured alcohol, il it could
be cheaply and simply made. would
be of immense value to the state as
an iiluminent and 8 source Of heat

The extension Of the street car SER
vice at Fargo appears to be difficult
because of the refusal OF the war de-
spartment to permit the use Of any
thing but swing bridge across the
hed river, until such time as congress
may declare the stream unnavigable
and the traffic in sight does not APP
pear to warrant the construction of
SO expensive means of crossing the
ked river. While the Red river may
be navigable at points lower down,
it would seem that at Fargo it would
be difficult to prove its navigability
by any of the ordinary means Of
proof. But the fact that long time
ago there was river transportation
OF primitive sort as far up the river
as Fargo makes it difficult to obtain
the passage of an act declaring it
unnavigable, which would permit its
spanning by simpler and less expen-
siye bridges than those which must
be high enough to. permit the pass
age of vessels to and fro.

Notwithstanding all the efforts that

Notwithstanding all the efforts that
have been made and the correspond
ence had with various departments
at Washington, none of the county
officials of this state seems yet to
have been able to obtain one of those
lists of holders of federal liquor per-
mits, which for some good reason,
no doubt, seem to be zealously and
scrupulously guarded by the collect
or of internal revenue and his sub
ordinates and superior officers. Let
tiers written to the heads of the de-
partments at Washington have
brought us the information that the
lists will be furnished to states at
torneys on certain conditions, but
it seems that nobody has yet been
able to comply with the exact condi-
ti0ns. 1t is not just clear why a list
should be furnished to states at
torney and denied to county audi
tor, when the law of the state charges
the county auditor with the duty of
obtaining the list. Surely, there can
be no good reason why a list of fed
eral licenses should be so difficult
to obtain. It cannot be that the gov
eminent owes the holder Of a license
obtained for an Illegal purpose any
measure of protection, and the hold
er OF license who is entitled to it
would in no way be prejudiced by the
issuance Of such a list. But the ways
OF the government are sometimes
mysterious and perhaps in the course
Of time the whole matter will be
made clear.
