Cleveland. Ohio, Jan. 9-That Senator
Foraker was giving utterance TO no blufl
when he sounded defiance of the Taft
controlled State committees call for selec-
ton Of State convention delegates by pri-
maries February Il was proved to-day
when his followers here began the circu-
lation Of petitions calling a county con-
vention to select delegates.
The Foraker move has the backing of
many politicians, who see in the state
committees procedure chance for the
Cuyahoga County Republican committee
TO perpetuate itself. They are backing the
Foraker proposal with the object of selec-
ton of a new county committee.
VIII Recognize Foraker Men.
II IS asserted to-day that the election
board majority Will recognize the Foraker
men. This is based on the assertion that
". r. Hopkins and David Christian, Re
publican members Of the board. are
known Foraker-Dick men. while w S.
Fitzgerald. Democrat is ready to vote
with the Foraker-Dick element,
Tse convention called by the Foraker
men is to select new county committee
which viii order primaries In accord with
the Foraker declaration for choice of
State convention delegates in wards and
precincts, rather than In the county as a
whole as is desired by the Taft men,

very cordial il was too. but the town
didn't even take the trouble to come
down 10 the water front TO gaze over the

it was because the races were to come

when Admiral Sampson dropped IN here

Let 10 all go with the statement that on
shore every one seemed glad TO greet the
Americans, even If the town seemed cold
Some Of the officers renewed old ac-
t-.trt+ltAA 4-+tH -fffAGitfs anu several
of friends visited the ships One young
officer came back with a story that
pleased the fleet. He met a charming
young Englishwoman on shore who said
that she had travelled good deal and
had been ia New York only three months
ago, The young officer perked up at
once.
7 suppose YOU saw the Great White
Way in New York;" he asked.
"On. yes. indeed" was the innocent re-
ply Mother and 1 went TO see it one
Sunday morning

Very. was the response.
Columbus Visited the Place.
Some Of the visitors historically inclined
recalled that Columbus visited this place
and named it in honor Of the Trinity:
others that Sir Walter Raleigh had made
this his headquarters for a long time; still
others that Cortez took leave Of Velas-
Quez he.e when he started out on his con-
quest Of Mexico The commercially IN
clined went 10 visit the famous and NAL
odorous Pitch Lake. from which Raleigh
smeared his ships and which supplies q
large part Of the asphalt for American
use. Others were glad 10 learn that they
have struck oil here and that it is ex-

ton. and they made money from the call
at their port. They were accommodating
and profted by It. Hundreds of Panama
hats were purchases. They were bought
by men who would not think OF puTchas-
ing such hats at home because Of the
high prices. The American hatters, there
fore. have lost little by the transactions
EXCEPT the sale of ordinary straw hats in
the summer time for TWO or three years.
And so the visit to Trinidad wore away.
The fleet is really glad to leave Most of
the visitors growl and say they'll be glad
never TO return, but all the same every
one who has once been here in the winter
and experienced the delightful climate
and picturesque surroundings will be glad
to see it once again. The motto Of the
fleet now is:
''IIeave away for Rio

that after shooting his father from be-

then crushed his skull with the gun.

have been wriught to a high pitch of
excitement by the conflict between the
"wets" and "drys," and an unusually
large vote has been cast. The success
of the Anti-aloon league in the local
