Gets After Roosevelt, Taft and Till.
man.

man.
Bellefontaine, Ohio.-If public
mans head escaped a crack at Sen.
ator Foraker's hands recently it was
because the senator failed to see it.
Roosevelt and his big stick" Taft
and his presidential candidacy, Till
man and his race antipathies, and
Burton and his senatorial aspirations
received especial attention. Senator
Foraker has refrained thus far from
any direct reference to the talk of
Taft as presidential possibility. In
his speech here tonight he made it
clear that he not only proposes to
fight vigorously for his own political
life, but will do all in his power to
see that Taft fails Of the presidential
nomination.
THE big stick" he said, won't
work with any free born American,
nor will 1t do any good to sugar it
with postoffice job"
Then he turned to Taft. 'T'm not a
candidate for Office" he said, "but If
l should be I would not get lockjaw.
I don't have to hold Office to live.
Secretary Taft is reported to have
said not longer than the day before
yesterday that he wanted tariff re-
vision. Former Governor Herrick said
he wanted it, too. don't wonder.
Congressman Burton, who is said
to want my place in the senate, is
another who wants revision. I would
like to know where these men who
want to be candidates are to begin to
revise. They say Taft is going to
run for president. l understand he
has come to Ohio to make a speech at
Columbus. hope he tells US how he
is going to revise the tariff. These
aspirants for office must take posi-
tons on the nations great problems
before l vote for them. I'm beginning
to be particular for whom l VOTE"
Then the senator turned to Tillman,
arguing that the 14th and 18th amend
ments to the constitution we're made
necessary by the situation created by
secession. Men like Tillman and Var
daman do not voice the south's true
sentiments. Andrew Jackson, he re-
marked, and here by innuendo he
raped Roosevelt again, was one Of
the presidents who believed executive
power everything, and undertook re-
construction without consulting the
cnu proar

cnce at tho White House last night in which tho
President. Secretary Garfield. Acting Secretary
Oliver and Commissioner Leupp took part regard
ing the renegade Ute Indians on the CHEYENNE
River Reservation, in North Dakota ii has been
decided 10 continue the Indian bureaus policv OF
furnishing the Indians opportunity to work
and. in case of their failure take advantage Of
It. TO leave them To their own resources Mr.
Leupp said that two opportunities had been given
10 the lHdians for employment in railroad grading
both Of which had been contcmptuously refused
by them. The Indians hold that they arc wards
OF the government and will be cared for whether
they work or not. This IS not the governments
policy. however. and II is said that they will haye
one more opportunity to c,nn their living and II
they do not accept it the government will do little
more for them.

there IS some apprehension that when the crisis
comes they may make trouble. General Oliver was
called in to advise the President in regard to tho
ability of the War Department to handle tho
situation. He said there We're between one hun
dred and two hundred troops on the ground and
more could be sent there with little loss Of time
