 ntions.

Columbus, O., Nov Senators Foraker and Dick to-day conferred with Governor Harris over the va cancy in the senate to be caused by the expiration In March of Senator Foraker's term The two senators were closeted with the executive and political friends most of the day and evening, but declined to make any statements regarding their confer ences other than to deny reports that they had entered an alliance on the senatorship. These reports were to the effect that the two senators were seeking to induce Governor Harris to enter the senatorial contest against Congressman Burton of Cleveland and other prospective candidates. Governor Harris admitted to friends that tho senatorial situation had been canvassed. One of his intimate asso- clates said this evening that the gov ernor in all probability would not be come an active candidate for senator.
 Senators Foraker and Dick this aft ernoon addressed gathering of 100 wool growers and others interested in the wool business
 Senator Foraker said
 "I do not know that I will have the privilege of assisting in any tariff leg islation but lf do ! shall lend every effort to the cause of protection of home indusxies and making America | independent of every other nation on the globe, l do not believe that any proposed tariff commission could do any better in providing protection for American industries than has been l done by the Dingley law, which has proved satisfactory to everyone who Is | interested in tariff.
 Senator Dick said:
 "The Dingley tariff bill, in my opinion, is better than any future con gress can make The prosperity un- der 1t is testimonial which cannot be denied and therefore stands as an endorsement I would feel better if we were talking about read justment of the tariff instead of q re. vision. l am satisfied to let wei enough alone"
