turn of the wheel in the senatorial
night interpret the Taft attack on
Burton as indicating degree OF
desperation on the part of Brother
Charles and his immediate follow
ing. In the three days he has been
at the capital Taft has discovered
that long lane lies ahead The
organization, but a few DAYS ago
boastful and confident, is finding
rough going in the ATTEMPT to boost
Taft into the senate against the
sentiment of the Republican rank
and file.
The steam roller was put into
vigorous use yesterday afternoon,
but with disastrous results. In at
tempting to use intimidation Taft
lieutenants caught Tartar in the
person of A. b. Garfield, represen,
tative-elect from Fulton county. Fol
lowing an open declaration for Bur-
ton the Fulton county member was
surrounded by Taft agents. When
persuasion failed, threats were en-
ployed. Garfield, according to his
story, was informed that he would
be put out of business If he in
sisted in standing out against the
organization. His reply was that
primary law would go into effect
jan /, and that the organization
could go to the neither regions. He
reiterated his pledge to support the
Cleveland man. -
''The statement of Brother Charles
that drew fire from Burton imme-
diately was given out just before
Taft left for Cincinnati, where he
will remain until Saturday He said:
"A caucus of the Republican mem
bers is absolutely necessary. The
caucus Is an institution of Republic
canism designed to get the consen-
sus of public opinion. | have tried
to find reasons for opposition to
caucus but have been unable to get
definite reason for any objections.
To have no such method for ascer-
tanning party sentiment is to lead
up to situation where Democrats
can elect the United States senator
"The Republican majority in the
legislature would be split and the
Democrats by their votes with Re-
publican minority could name the
senate. 1t seems to me that in such
nation indicate. You would have to
examine the records OF all the can
dldates of the Republican party.
II candidate is known as a free
trade Republican the Democrats
would naturally send him to the
senate 1t setms to me that In such
an event the record of each candi-
date must be carefully scrutinized'
II a candidate has favored change
in our tariff laws to such an extent
that such change would mean free
trade in wool or reduction In duties
on revenue lines II becomes mani
fest that i'm an election where
Democrats cast their ballots they |
will go to that Republican.
81 am In favor OF a party eau
Gus because the members from Ohio
in the United States senate should |
be the representative of the RepuD-
lican party and not a representative
Of a combination of Republicans ana
Democrats. This is conviction I
have had for more than forty years
and want TO call the attention OF
the people of the state to the nee
pssiy of looking ino the record OF
each candidate before expressing
ppinions regarding the candidates
based on sentimental reasons
There will be in the senate
number of representatives of more
Dr. less indefinite ideas on the tarin
md the state of Ohio should see TO
/ that her senator should be man
who will stand by the protective
,ystem at all hazards. 1 am IN

i've lines, as is advocated in the
