BRYAN INVADES OHIO

Columbus, Sept Ex-senator Joseph
B. Foraker is to be cut off from all
participation in the Ohio campaign
as far as the Republican state COM
mittee is concerned. The harmony
protocol, now a veritable thorn in the
flesh of the Republican campaign man
ayers, is to be repudiated.
Whatever the action of the national
committee in the light of the Foraker
explosion, officials of the state COM
mittee are firm in the determination
to keep the senator out of the state
campaign. They are firm only because
the protests against recognizing For
aker which came into Headquarters
almost as soon as the senator ad-
mitted his Standard Oil company con-
nections were more vehement today.
If Foraker makes any speeches in
Ohio 1t will not be under the direction
of the state committee. AS best he
can Chairman Williams is attempting
to wash his hands of the record of the
past week. The record of trucking
pate in the campaign, hurts and hurts
nightly. But it cannot be erased.
So Chairman Williams is making the
best of a bad matter.
The swearing and cursing at Ma
tional Chairman Frank Hitchcock, O
feature of the preliminary campaign
In Ohio. is heard again and with add
ed emphasis. Hitchcock is charged
with responsibility for the unfortu-
nate position in which the Ohio Re-
publican managers find themselves.
Upon him is placed the blame of SOW
ing the seeds intended to produce
harmony in Ohio, Sof engineering a
peace agreement between Taft and
the organization and Foraker, that
reaped the whirlwind. The force at
state headquarters is all but disor-
ganized. An air of helplessness per-
vades the spacious quarters. Time is
spent largely in speculation how Will
liam H. Taft and his advisers at the
Cincinnati headquarters would get rid
of Senator Foraker.
In the midst of as great a political
sensation as has broken over Ohio in
years William Jennings Bryan will
invade Ohio. The coming six days will
cover the big week of the Democratic
campaign in this state. Opening with
two speeches in this city on Wednes-
day the Democratic candidate will
move onto Cincinnati where he will

posing list of campaign orators are
to be turned loose in Ohio immedi-
ately following the opening. The

the direction of both the national and
