NOTHING TO IT"
This Was Surprising Answer
To Marion Pedagogue's
Reported Marriage.
WOMEN GIVE A SHOWER.

Marion, Ind, May 2S.-Fourteen
young women of the Gas City public
schools, learning that Harry Dragoo.
principal of the high school, would
soon become a benedict. thought it
would be a novel thing to have a
''shower' for him. They overwhelm-
ed him with an assortment of neckties,
socks and sundry articles that would
aid materially in preparing for house
keeping.
Mr.. DragOO. however. had heard of
the plans and he prepared for their
coming. Upon their arrival he gave
each of the guests a pretty announce
ment, tied with red, white and blue
ribbon.
When unrolled each sheet disclosed
the neatly written words: Nothing to
it."

FORAKER AND DICK
IN AN ALLIANCE.
Wish to Force Nomination on

Taft.
REVENGE CHIEF MOTIVE.
1T WAS TAFT WHO VETOED MEAS
URE DESIGNED TO BRING FOR
AkER BACK TO THE SENATE
PECULIAR Is THE SITUATION.

Chicago, May 28.-The Record-Her-
aid publishes the following Washing
ton dispatch by Walter Wellman:
One of the strangest spectacles to
he seen upon the field of national poll
tics is Gen. Fire Alarm" Foraker
leading the black brigade in a mad
charge upon the Taft entertainments.
shouting Down with Taft-Hurrah for
"a third term for Roosevelt"
More than once of late | have had
occasion to point out what a queer
thing is the game Of politics. But We
shall all live a long time probably be-
fore we behold anything more pictures
nue and bizarre than Joseph Benson
Foraker trying to start a stampede
for a third term in order to defeat the
man who has beaten him out in Ohio
trying to destroy a new enemy by
thrusting undesired hOnors upon an
old one.
Ohio Senators Hate Taft.
Paradoxical as il may appear, For
aker is not only crazy to beat Taft, but
nc wants to use Roosevelt to do the
beating with AS | have explained in
previous dispatches, it was Taft and
mot Roosevelt who vetoed the Murray
Crane compromise designed to bring
Foraker back to the senate. This. in
part, explains why the Ohio senators
hate Taft more than the President.
Furthermore, if Taft should be nOmin-
ated at Chicago, the new regime in
Ohio politics is fixed and confirmed
for years to come and in this new re-
gime there is no room for either For
aker or Dick.
So the Ohio senators have started a
crusade planned to convince the coun-
try that Taft can't be elected. while
Roosevelt would have an easy victory.
