attacks President. Taft and Burton
in Ohio Speech.

Bellefontaine Ohio July 27.-Senator Joseph
r. Foraker in a speech at the Logan County
Chautauqua this afternoon went aside from the
speech he had prepared to assail President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft and to take filings
al Congressman Burton. of Cleveland. and NV
ron T. Herrick. Ex-Governor of Ohio.
In tho series of speeches Mr. Foraker has been
making in Ohio since last April he has refrained
until to-day from making any reference which
could be construed a direct attack upon Mr.
Taft's candidacy for the Presidency. What he
SAID this afternoon can be construed in no other
light. FOR the emphasis placed upon his utter
ances impressed 1t upon his audience of six hun
dred that he purposed not only To fight against
his own elimination from the Ohio political sit
uatioE. but also do all in his power to- defeat
the Wac Secretary for the Presidential nomina-
tion.
In referring to President Roosevelt the Sena-
said. THE big stick won't work with any
free born American citizen. and il won't do any
good either to put sugar on it in the shape of
postofice jobs"
Then he turned his attention to Mr.. Taft.
I'm not a candidate for Office he said, but
II ever am a candidate I'll not get the lock-
jaw. When can't talk to my constituents I'll
eliminate myself I don't have 10 hold office in
/ order to live
Speaking OF the proposal to revise the tarln
Mr. Foraker said: Secretary Taft wants tariu
revision: least he is reported to have SAID so
nc longer than day before yesterday. EX-'Tov-
ernor HerriCk also wants revision, and don't
wonder at that. Congressman Theodore Bur
ton, who, says, is anxious to take my
place 8 SenatOr-but I'm not going to let him
also wants revision. I'd like to know where
these men who are going to be candidates will
begin to revise. I'd like to know where Secre-
tary Taft will commence the cutting They say
ne is going to run for President. I understand
