CANTON, Ohio, April 11.-Faced upon his
arrival with the fact that Nicholas Long
worth son-in-law of President Roosevelt,
had issued as a representative of the state
of Ohio a proclamation that he was in
favor of the selection of Secretary Taft
as the logical successor of his father-ln-
law, the President United States Senator
Joseph B. Foraker, without any hesitation,
proceeded to deliver the def to The Presi-
dents methods that he had prepared for
the board of trade dinner.
Nor was he without support, for all the
fighting blood of the town seemed to have
been aroused by the issuance, on the very
day that Senator Foraker was to speak, of
what was apparently semi official dec.ara-
ton that the White House stood behind
Taft as against any favorite that Ohio
or the country might desire.
Crowds beseged the banquet hall, to which
those who did not hold tickets were not
admitted, and the prevailing sentiment was
that great mistake had been made by
the administration in attempting to inter-
1ere with freedom OIL speech and actlon on
the part of an elected representative of the
public.
1t was recalled that only yesterday at
tempts had been made, headed by the pres
ident of the board of trade to induce the
senator to refrain from political express
sion but that such efforts had been unavail-
ing.
Senator Foraker said:
First, let me thank those having this &C.
casion in charge for the invitation that lis
brought me here.
1t is always pleasure to visit your city.
1t is growing SO rapidly and is in every
way so prosperous that it is in the highest
sense of the word typical of all that is best
in Ohio.
You are distinguished in other respects.
Your city is familiar to all the world the
home and last resting place of William Nc
kinley. His memory is cherished by every
man in the land. AS the years pass we
appreciate NOR. md more keenly his gen.
tie, modest, uI.->ssuming, courteous man
ners, and his steadfast and loyal devotion
to the great principles of republcanism as
represented by Lincoln, and Blaine and
Sherman, and all the other great leaders OF
our heroic days.

He's So Careless

He'll leave his boots and shoes
around
With mud and dust despatched;
His papers I have always found
About the carpet scattered.
His ties and collars strew the room.
His shirt studs he'll deposit
With care where they will meet my
In sweeping out the closet,
His pipes are simply everywhere,
My furniture he scratches,
And really does not seem to care
Where he may throw his matches.
My sewing baskets holds his keys,
And we have had some clashes
Because in spite of lectures he's
SO careless with his ashes.
He's no exception, | suppose,
I've heard of other cases.
It's pretty hard, though, goodness
knows,
When things aren't in their places
There's only one thing that he can
Take care OF, and it's funny,
But / have never known that man
To leave around his money.
