TAFr-FoRAkER CONTEST.
Politics Getting Quite Warm Down ir
Obfn

Politics Getting Quite Warm Down in
Ohio.
Senator Foraker's challenge to the
Roosevelt-Taft forces in Ohio drew
from the latter recently an answering
challenge that promises a contest I'M
equalled even on this famous political
battle-ground. Foraker proposed a
contest at the primaries to decide
whether he should be Endorsed for
president and senator. Taft's mana
gers came back with the suggestion
of simplifed contest, one that would
wipe the senator or the big secretary
off the political slate.
Forakers def" set the politicians
buzzing, but this answer from the sec
rotary opposed to him asserted that
his def" was not as defiant as it APP
peared on the face because it did not
clearly outline Foraker's position.
They claimed that by inviting prima-
ries he was only forestalling what was
bound to come to pass anyway, and
that they also averred that he was
maneuvering so that if he should miss
the presidency he would land the sen
atorship.
But this answer from the Taft camp
has aroused interest in the contest to
burning pitch. The matter is of a
national Importance, of course, be
cause in whatever form the contest
Is held it will decide who shall go into
next years convention with united
force or broken forces in support Of
favorite son.
