DONE ANY TALKING
Statement Concerning Foraker Attrib'
uted to War Secretary is Vigor-
ously Denied.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 11.-Congress-
man Theodore A. Barton gave out the
following statement today:
"An erroneous report has gone
forth to the effect that Secretary TAFT
has said to me by telephone that he
desired the elimination of Senator
Joseph b. Foraker from politics. He
has never made any sucn statement.
He has conscientiously refused, how
ever. to enter into any deal under
which he should have the support OF
the Republicans of Ohio for the Presi-
lency and in consideration therefore
that Foraker should be Endorsed Tor
the Senatorship. Such an arrange
ment would SAVIOR of political bar,
gain and would awaken criticism be-
cause the two men are supposed 10
represent different ideas, especially IN
regard to the policies of Presiden:
Roosevelt. So far as | know none OF
the friends of Taft advised or asked
him to take any part in any contest
for the senatorship in this state mol
has he expressed any Intention &c
do So"
