FRIENDS
Of Foraker up in Arms
Over Alleged Throw
down Of Senator
AT CAMPAIGN OPENING

Youngstown, o., July 20.-A rumor
that Senator Foraker has been invited
TO speak at the opening of the Repub-
lican national campaign in this city
has started fierce row among Repub-
lican leaders in the county and friends
of the senator declare that if he is
not asked to make an address on that
occasion they will do all in their
power to spoil the opening.
Friends Of Judge Taft declare that
the senator has not been invited. The
Foraker adherents declare that now
the issue has been raised they will
stir up all kinds of trouble unless
their champion is invited to speak.
Between the two factions, the com
a tree.
Congressman Kennedy, who is to
take a prominent part in the opening
exercises and will have a hand in the
framing Of the program, denies that
Mr.. Foraker has been invited. Each
time that Taft Republicans asked as
to the truth of the rumor, he made
the denial. Each time he made the
denials the friends of Senator Foraker
became more angry and 1t is declared
they are laying plans to spoil the
opening program by sidetracking the
speakers planned for the event. The
local committee so far has received
no reply from Gov. Hughes to its let
ter asking him to attend and deliver
the opening address. 1t is rumored
that influential friends Of Foraker,
angered at the publicity given the
fact that the senator has not been
invited, have importuDed Mr.. Hughes
not to accept, and that this is the
cause of his delay in not answering
the local committee.

MELONS, PHOTOS AND BLOWS.

A melon train of eighty-two cars pulled out of Brawley Sunday morn ing It was made up of cars loaded from various points through the val ley, but the demands tor advertising are such that at about the same time the idea of getting photographs of this long melon train, bearing the ban ners of their own distributing com panies, popped into the heads of repre- sentatives of two companies operat- ing at Brawley. The train was halted just as it was leaving the yards for the north, and one set of banners was being placed on the cars when the other distributing company's repre- sentative objected. He wanted to place his banners and claim the train There was a wrangle. Came then Railroad Official Burdette with solemn mein and information that neither man should place his banners on the cars. Up rose the twain in one com mon cause and they did smite the rail road official, felling him to the ground. The banners went on, one after the other, and two sets of photos were taken of the great melon train "sent out by our own company" etc.
