Fairbanks and Foraker.

And now its Fairbanks. John T.
Hays, a prominent lawyer of Sullivan,
Ind. and former law partner Of the
late President Harrison. declares it il
Ibis firm belief that the people Of In
diana win be solid for the vice presi-
dent when the time comes to pick a
candidate to succeed Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Hays. who is here on a vacation,
likens the Hoosier statesman to his
former partner President Benjamin
Harrison and asserts that while Mr..
Fairbanks is not an intensely popular
man he nevertheless has hosts of
friends all over the state The vice
president, he believes, will meet with
the demands of the reactionists, by
reason of his well known conserva-
tism. and at the same time his
Wshredness and his ability TO meet
any emergency will find favor with
those who would see continuance of
more or less radical administration.
Mr. Hays declares the people OF In
diana regard the celebrated cocktail
incident as a joke and do not put any
faith in the stories circulated about
the distinguished lndianan calculated
to quash his boom.
However, Ohio and a few other
states must be heard from before Mr..
Fairbanks can be nominated or elected.
And one of the native sons of the
buckeye state who also is sojourning
in the capital city declares that de-
spite the recent state endorsement of
Secretary Taft over Senator Foraker,
the latter easily can defeat the portly
member of the presidents cabinet in
race for any office from the Presi-
dency down, He is Jacob Klayer OF
Youngstown. and while he admits that
Taft would win If the politicians had
their way. he asserts he had made a
careful canvass of the entire state.

Taft is strongly opposed by the labor
unions because of his decisions when
he was one OF the bench, says Mr.
Klayer. and furthermore. practically

men prefer to stand by the senior
senator.
