Although the wedding bells so far

that the bridesmaids carried huge fans

ARE OUT FOR TAFT.
GOV. HARRIS AND OTHER STATE
OFFICIALS ENDORSE WAR
SECRETARY'S
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY - A
STATEMENT FROM CHAIR
MAN BROWN.

Toledo, O.-Chairman Walter T.
Brown, of the Ohio state cen
trial committee, on Friday broke
through the reticence he has observed
since the commencement Of the Taft
Foraker imbrogllo. He declared him
self as unqualifiedly for Taft, said the
republicans of Ohio were solidly in
favor of his candidacy and declared
that Senators Foraker and Dick owe
1t to themselves and their friends to
settle the report that they are secret
ly Supporting the candidacy OF Vice
President Fairbanks.
He declared that the sentiment for
Taft is so strong that if further OPP
posed, or in any way misrepresented
by Senators Foraker and Dick it will
burst all bounds and demand express
sion in popular convention.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Brown that
a belief exists with politicians in
some other states that Senators For
aker and Dick control the state party
machinery and that the power of the
organization is behind them.
There never was a greater mistake
than that" said Chairman Brown.
The senators do not control the
party machinery and they never have
swayed, and they do not now sway the
state central committee in any of it's
actions. 1t is the absolute truth. as
every Ohio politician knows, that tho
committeo has never been under their
control at any time since it's member
ship was announced. The organiza-
tion is with Taft
There is one thing ] would like to
mention" said the chairman, and
that is, that nobody who has assumed
any responsibility for the Taft move
ment has expressed any desire to
eliminate Senator Foraker from poll
tics. If such statements have been
made by anybody they are entirely
unauthorized by any man who is con-
nected with the Taft campaign"
Columbus, O.-The following state
ment was given out Friday
night with the approval of Gov. Har-
ris, Attorney General Ellis, Auditor OF
State Guilbert and Secretary of State
Thompson: The governor and other
state officers believe that all Ohio re-
publicans ought now to stand to-
gether behind William II. Taft for
president. AS to the senatorship. that
is a question TO be settled hereafter
and any republican who is a candi-
date is entitled to a fair hearing be-
fore the party and the people. When
the proper time arrives the republic
ans of Ohio will settle it without bit
terness or i'll feeling

BUSINESS BULLETIN.
improvement in Retail Trade Follows
the Advent of Warmer Weather.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Improvement in retail trade follow
ed the advent of seasonable weather
at many points, and payments were
more prompt as spring merchandise
was distributed, but conditions are
still irregular. Sensational advances
in prices of farm products, especially
wheat, followed reports of extensive
damage to the crops, but frequent re-
actions emphasized the speculative
nature of the rise In quotations and
tended to restore confidence
Wholesale trade in fall goods is
brisk from all points except where the
crops have been seriously injured, and
the net result of this forward business
makes the outlook for the future
fairly satisfactory. Manufacturing
plants are kept busy.

Influence of the Politicians Wife.


1t has often been asked how much
Influence the wife of a public man
bears on his political career. This is
hard to estimate; but this much is
certain: The man who comes to Wash
ington, either as a member of Con
gress or of some other branch of the
government where his position is one
of prominence, is very unfortunate If
his wife is not one whom he can trust
10 making her way socially Not nee
essarily being a great social success,
but capable of mingling with the aver
age woman at the national capital.
For, in spite of the fact that a small
percentage of society looks leniently
upon the married couple who are sell
age sound American believes in the
Comradeship of man and wife. But
when we sum up this question of the
influence of women ir statecraft we
pass the judgment that, on the whole,
the influence of woman in statecraft
is for good, says writer in Home
Magazine. Being impulsive, she is apt
TO make mistakes now and then which
cause the more logical males to laugh
at her, but as rule she is pretty sure
of her footing before she attempts to
make the jump across the political
stream that divides womankind from
mankind.
