tor Foraker to the offices of Judge Taft in
the sinton hotel, the half hour conference
which followed and the statements of
cordially by each party to the conference,
constituted the new feature of the day at
Taft headquarters. 1--WE had a very pleas
ant personal talk" said Senator Foraker,
on leaving at 1o'clock. Eyes, We talked
about politics, about nothing but politics,
you might say"
There is nothing to say. except that we
repeated what we said at Toledo" was
Judge Taft's comment. He added:
1--WE discussed the general aspects OF the
campaign. Senator Foraker said he wanted
to do all he could to bring about republi-
can success and that when l needed him
l could call upon him. The senator is to
take an active part in the campaign"
Mr.. Taft expressed the desire that re-
ports Of the interview should contain no
reference to a peace pact as he laugh
ingly remarked there had never been any
interruption OF peace personally between
himself and Senator Foraker. One thous-

have pervaded even the so-calIed doubtful
states"
