Why Foraker Wants Peace.
Ohio Republicans viii tell you that
I Foraker wants peace. as a matter OF self
/ preservation At least. until after the LEXIS
[ Iature Is elected That may be true. but
/ things don't look very promising in the
harmony line Just now. and there nay
. be some dynamite In the meeting OF the
/ Republican State central committee here
on Monday.
One OF the things that will probably
come Up at that meeting will be the
question OF speakers at the opening
meeting OF the campaign IN Youngs-
town on September 8.
Gov. Hughes has already accepted an
invitation 10 deliver the chief address
/ of the occasion. but there is a dIrer-
eace Of opinion as TO whether Senator
| Foraker is going 20 be there or not.
The State central committee. # seems
reserves the right TO name the speck-
ers for the opening meeting OF the
campaign. but somebody down at
Youngstown. II is said, went ahead ana
invited Senator Foraker. anyhow. The
/ question now is viii the State central
or executive committee send Mr.. Fora
ker an invitation The belief here now
I is that some sort OF assurance will be
demanded from Senator Foraker be-
I fOrehand that he viii not attack the
Roosevelt policies.
Taft Also VIII Attend.
Mr.. Taft himself viii attend the
meeting Of the State central commit
tee but not probably when any cues
ton Of the Youngstown meeting is rp.
Mr.. Taft intends to outline 10 the com
mitJee his plans for the campaign in
/ Ohio. and TO get from the committee
men IN turn their views on the condi-
tions IN the different parts OF the
State.
As a result OF the visit Of Gov. VIII
son, Of Kentucky. and ex-Gov Bradley.
Of the same State. at the notification ex-
ercises on Tuesday. the Taft managers
hope TO wipe out the iu-feeling between
the two men and put Kentucky in line
for a Republican victory again.
Mr.. Taft's entrance into his home citv
was as quiet and transformations as could
be II was the request Of the candidate
that no fuss should be made over his
homecoming this tine. There were g few
hundred persons ct the station, but they
coutented themselves with q cheer or
two. One Of the first things that struck
the candidates eye as he left the train
was q huge Hthograph Of himself fas-
tened TO one OF the iron gates IN the sta
tion and surrounded by American flags.
No Place Like Homo.
Above the picture was this motto:
There Is no place Ike home"
NJ 4AIr eInpnaslzeo the sentiment by
greeting almost everybody IN sight by his
first name. He seemed to know them all.
Baggage hustle-s, osbbies; and trninne1

Charles P. TAFT, the candidates brother,
met him ct the train. and tie two were
driven at once 10 the brothers home On
Pike street, where the notification speech

Mr.. Taft was pretty tired afts- hls
