Vorys Issues Statement.
All this is made clear in a statement

/ Tafts personal manager in charge OF the
national campaign in Ohio. I have no
I candidate for the Senatorship. and that

Z AIr- Taft" said AIr- Vorys- Judge Taft
I stands to-day where he has always stood.
/. He is not promoting any candidate for
/ Senator from Ohio. nor placing obstacles
in the way Of any prospective candi-

AIr- Vorys made this statement follow

after he had been asked TO sound him
I especially on this subject Mr.. Vorys
himself has been suspected of having q

he would not confirm this, he declared
he would take no part in any Senatorial

Although II may prove difficult 70 segre-
. gate the legislative and national cam

already has sent the tip out to the Ohio

( fore an unfortunate step may be made
Representative Burton. who was here
. with Mr- Taft till last Sunday, agrees
with This plan and IL is expected that he
viii issUE a statement before sailing for
Europe tomorrow, making clear TO his
friends in Ohio that he does not propose
. TO take any step that might jecpardtze
the success Of the national ticket in that
State.
Taft VIII Favor Burton.
There is a strong belief. however. that
after the Presidential election Judge
Taft VIII favor Burton as the man to
eliminate Foraker. Sending a northern
man to the Senate. this elimination Of
Dick could also be accomplished IN the
next Senatorial election II Taft should
not be elected, however, It is quite prob
able that his brother. Charles ?. Taft
would come forward with a claim on the
I Senate.
Former. Gov Herrick's friends suggest
that he would be the logical northern
man 10 accomplish the elimination OF
both Foraker and Dick. they being will
ing that Burton should land, a Cabinet
portfolio. possibly Secretary Of State. in
order to make a clear field.
Continuing on the Senatorial fight. Nj.
Vorys said: Judge Taft and Senator
Foraker think alike. in that We should
first proceed 20 elect Republican Iegis-
lature, together with the national ticket.
and after that give our attention to the
night for the Senate. Everybody ought
10 be content 10 stand on that platform.
and I heartily indorse it. Each ticket
should stand on its own merits, entirely
] divorced
Not only is Mr.. Taft keeping his
hands of. but I can assure you there is
no concerted effort on the part Of the
Taft supporters TO defeat Foraker
believe Foraker is sincere in the stand
he has taken. and. with a little work. we
all have everything perfectly harmoRi-
