COMMITTEE
IN OHIO IS
FOR TAFT

Columbus. o.. July 31-By a vote OF Is
to the Republican state central commit
tee yesterday adopted resolutions declar-
Ing for Secretary OF War Taft for the
Republican presidential nomination In
1908 and making good the claim OF the
Taft forces that they have complete con-
troll OF the machine In the Buckeye state.
BY way of tempting the wind TO the
shorn lamb. the committee In spite OF op-
position on the part OF the Foraker min
ority. added to the Taft Endorsement a
declaration that the Republicans of Ohio
are opposed to the elimination from pub
lie life OF Foraker and Dick. whose SER
vices TO the state have been distinguish
ed by ability, wisdom and patriotism"
The Foraker-Dick resolution was a
complete failure as an olive branch and
was forced through by the close vote OF
IL to 10.
The action OF today was the climax OF
the first stage OF the fierce fght that has
been waged between the Taft and the
Dick-Foraker factions OF the party and
IL the forerunner of a more bitter battle
yet to come The Endorsement OF Taft
was made In the face OF a probably In
spired statement before the committee by
c. b. Mccoy OF -coshocton that Senator
Foraker I'm view OF his open letter Of
last night was TO be considered a candi-
date for Ohio's favor in the presidential
contest
The Foraker men claim that the action
OF the state committee is irregular, that
Il has no binding force upon the party
and that the right to pledge the state TO
a candidate is reserved to the representa-
tives OF the voters at state convention.

A DULL CAMPAIGN

The campaign that closes next
Tuesday has been exceedingly
dull. In some instances in Rock
bridge the regular Democratic
nominees have no opposition. And
even where Republicans are con-
testing fer the honOrs the cam
psign he's been conducted very
quietly. Not public speech has
been reported. The two Offices ex-
citing the n Ost interest are those
of sherif and member of the House
of Delegates from Rockbridge and
Buena Vista, and even in these
the campaign has been conducted
more as "still hunt" than other
wise. The candidates have done
considerable house to house can
wasting, and We suppose the bushes
have been pretty well shaken.
For the other offices, and espec-
tally for the district offices, the
CANVASS las been equally quiet, ex-
ctrt in the Lexington district.
The opposing candidates for over
seer of the poor have been active,
and very recently an independent
candidate has entered the field for
supervisor.
