CINCINSATI, Ohio Sept 15.-Beueath
the sea Of canvas which covers the
great Touring circus of Ohio politics.
the band tod,.y is playing Hail, Hail.
the Peace Dove Comes" and one of the
most gigantic performances in harmony
ever pulled off is being given, while free
passes to everybody are issued in Law
isk profusion.
Judge Taft is managing the show and
everything is going or placidly accord
lns TO schedule. Among the star per
formers are Senator Foraker and George
3. Cox. the political boss Of Cincinnati
and Hamilton county. In a sideshOw,
20 which a nominal cost OF admission
IS charged, Senator Foraker can be seen
eating large pieces OF crow without the
aid Of a confederate, and in another Sc
Guided tent George 3 Cox disports him
self with fancy steps On the chalk line
and picturesque motions in jumping
through hoop held in high and difficult
positions by Tart man.
In other words. Judge Taft has sue
Ceeded in welding into q harmonious
whole all the warning factions of Ohio &
Repubicanism, and the full strength Of
the party is in the field for the purpose
OF carrying the national ticket 10 sue
cess in November
Foraker VIII Help, Too.
Today. for the first time, It IS certain
that Foraker win do all ne can 10 help
the cause along, and, what is more i'm
JOrtant, he will make no speeches
which may result in doing harm Also.
Tor the first time, George b Cox has
convinced everybody THAI he is sincere
IN his determination TO work for Taft,
and he has, therefore. been assured by
Judge Tart that his aid Will be accepted.
This morning Foraker was enlisted as
an active worker and campalgner IL and
out OF Ohio. Having been assured by
Chairman Henry A Williams. of the
Republican state committee. that no in
suit was meant TO him by his not being
invited 70 speak a. the campaign open
ing at youngstown, Foraker announced
that he would accept the committees
invitation 10 make a series OF speeches
II ohio, and TO make other speeches out
side OF Ohio He did this IN spite of his
previous knowledge that the lack OF an
invitation was direct snub.
Why Cox is Accepted.
The Cox aid has been accepted be-
cause the friends OF Taft and Taft him
self are convinced that Cox and the
Hamilton county organization are faith
fully in line for the national ticket
There had been some talk 70 the effect
AAieLN -~L-A Mol4Q not accept LQ6 on eE OF
cooperation from Cox. and his accept
anCe was. no doubt, something OF a sur
prise TO those not familiar with the real
situation.
However. it was impossible for Judge
Taft to do otherwise than he dtvi. 1t
would have been contrary 10 everything
IN politics il he had refused the ala
of any man for the uatiOISI ticket when
that aid was offered in fair spirit.
All this harmony which IS for Taft
and cannot be said 10 extend through
the qualifications of Ohio politics, comes
at an OppOrtUue time. Today is the can
didate's birthday, and this assurance Of
support from all factions in Ohio is an
appropriate celebration Of his nfty-first
birthday.
