WHAT THEY SAY.
That Hoch Asked With One Hand.
Gave With Other.

WASHINGTON. Oct. Ex-senator Long
this morning visited the president and
in coming from the White House auth
orized the statement that Kansas was
unquaIifedly and positively for Taft
for president In view of the state
ments made yesterday by Hoch after
a call at the White House that Kan
sAs was for Roosevelt for third term
and would run over all obstacles like
a herd of Texas steers, Longs state
ment created unusual comment.
Hcch's statement was widely circu-
lated and given great prominence, be-
ing interpreted to mean that Kansas
was not for Taft, and regarded as ex-
ceedingly timely.
Senator Long said today: In my
opinion the Republicans of Kansas will
send solid instructed delegation for
Secretary Taft for president. They con-
slider that the statement made by Pres
ident Roosevelt on the night of election
almost three years ago, that under no
circumstances would he be a candidate
for or accept another nomination should
be taken as final
81 am personally in favor of an in
structed Taft delegation from Kansas
Roosevelt will ertract or modify or
qualify the statement which he gave on
the night of the election OF 1904"
Morning papers here commenting
on Hoch's interview state that He
went to the White House with DECKER

Jumped Board Bills and Skipped.

Eugene Fosha, born to trouble, it
seems, is at it again. After spending
some time in the county bastile the
last grand jury released him, but he
was held as witness in the Duff
case. He has been boarding for some
time at the National hotel, promising
to pay his board bill from the witness
fees collected. He got the fees all
right, but forgot the board bill and
ski-dooed. Sheriff Qualley nailed
him at Monona Friday. and he is now
having his board paid again by the
county-thirty days.

of Moneek also tried the same game
at the National. and Deputy Sheriff
John Blaess brought them in on Fri
day, whereupon they promptly pro-
duced the amount of the bill and the
costs and were released.
