has never had access to the political
plum tree, yet without this necessary
aid to the small statesman he has held
his devoted followers and has made
himself a worldwide fame second to
that Of no member of the United States
senate. OF his courage there can be
no question. While most of the sen.
ators are known to be in secret oppo-
sition to the president, Foraker is the
only one, at least on the majority side
Of the chamber. who has dared to fight
him in the open. This contest began
on two legislative propositions and one
executive proposition. the rate bill, the
joint statehood of New Mexico and
Arizona and the dismissal of the negro
soldiers in the Brownsville incident.
The fight has now extended to an on
slaught on Secretary Taft, the admins
tration candidate for the presidency.
Foraker tells good story and is
one Of the quickest men at repartee in
public life. In clash with Tillman
one day he accused the South Caro-

he was given the post Of honor Of pre-

Mark Hanna to terms is still told With
relish by the Forakerites Of Ohio.
His Victory Over Hanna.
The state convention was held at
GAINESVILLE. and the Mckinley cohorts,
with the redoubtable Hanna at their
head, were on the ground awaiting
anXiously Foraker's next move. For
two years the Fire Alarm had made
Hanna jump sideways with nervous
apprehension, and now that the final
battle was about to open the tension
was extreme. On the evening of the
day before the convention a telegram
was received from Cincinnati that For
aker was not coming at all, and a
mighty sigh Of relief went through the
Mckinley camp. When the Cincinnati
train pulled in, however, the first man
off was Foraker, with the delegates
swarming after him. With a brass
band in front and Foraker in the lead.
they marched up the street, with thou
sands Of Forakerites lining the side
walks and cheering their chief as
though he were the scheduled candi-
date instead Of the man from Canton.
The procession gave Mark Hanna a
chill. He Immediately sued for peace
and gave Foraker practically every
thing except the presidency.

ers. The campaign ditty ran thus:
See the Campbell-back
Out upon the track
With its heavy load Of fraud and tin.
But it's very slow riding
And will have to take the siding
When the Foraker train pulls in.
For little while it looked as if the
Hanna-McKinley train would have to
take the siding when the Foraker train
pulled into GAINESVILLE.
Another pyrotechnic event in the
Ohio senator's career also involved a
struggle with Hanna. Again the mas

Fire Alarm was his name,

What that name might imply,
For he always was mixed in
Scrimmage
And would fight at the bat of an

Foraker learned to fight first and to
talk and walk afterward. He has been
practicing with a rhetorical punching
bag ever since. He is the free-fOr-all
statesman. Nothing so delights his
soul as, figuratively, to black an eye or
break Il head. His weapon is not the
big stick or the ''spear that knows no
brother" but a pair of bare knuckles
or a Roman short sword. Inasmuch as
the laws Of a soft and conventional
civilization bar the literal use Of such
amiable implements, the Ohio senator
substitutes red fire and a brass band,
supplemented by rhetorical skyrockets
and adjectives that go off like fire.

The Democrats cut off the last word

after election. Two years later For.
aker took it back again in fight with
the same man for the same Office.
That was about the most spectacular
campaign in Ohio politics. Governor
Hoadly was the Democratic candidate
for reelection, and Foraker challenged
him to joint debate. Hoadly was a
strong lawyer and brilliant speaker,
but was noted for making mistakes in
his statements, one Of which cost him
dear.
He said that the Republican party
had degenerated and to prove it men

From that moment the crowd be-
longed to Foraker, and it is said the
incident so caught the popular ear that
1t elected him governor.
A Snappy Response.
It was during his gubernatorial term
that Foraker made himself the idol Of
section Of his party by his response to
President Cleveland's order for return
ing the Confederate battlefags. This
response fairly snapped:
"No rebel flags shall be surrendered
while I am governor"
At the time Of the Republican nation
al convention Of 1883 the young Ohio
leader was at the very heyday of his
earliest fame. 1t is an open secret that
lhe was offered the nomination for pres
ident by the responsible leaders of that
gathering, but declined because Of his
loyalty to John Sherman. He refused
to follow the Garfield towpath to the
presidency. '@

In Attempting to Throw Line

Charles. the 4-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. John Ericsson, was drowned
in the river near his home in Rapids
City yesterday afternoon about 2:30
The boy, in company with two broth
ers, both older than himself. went
down to the river bank to fish.
Charles placed himself upon a rock
and then proceeded to throw out a
short throw line. In doing SO he lost
his balance and fell into the water
His brothers were unable to aid him
and they ran to their father who was
working in a field nearby and told
him the boy had fallen into the river.
He ran to the spot as fast as he could
but was unable to locate the boy.
Body Is Recovered.
After searching for a short time he
secured the aid of several neighbors
and one of them named Adams soon
located the body. 1t had lodged in
some brush just below the scene of
the accident.

and he went to Port Byron at once

the jury for acquittal or of insanity at
the time of committing the act.
Appeal to Sympathies.
The attorneys for the defense in
their arguments made, a Strong appeal
to the .sympathies of the jurors, re-
lying on the public sentiment in
the case, which favors Mrs. Booth, and
in his statement Mr.. Witter declared
that from all parts of the city prayers
were said today that the jurors might
do their duty. Mr. Witter added that
the jurors should think of the attitude
their wives and mothers. would have
toward the case.
He attacked the states attorney as
inhuman because of the fact, as men
toned heretofore in The Argus, that
the body of the murdered child has
not been buried. but lies in a vault at
the Knox undertaking room, prepared
for burial
The theory of insanity was enlarged
on by the defendants attorneys, and
Mr.. Wenger spoke for nearly four
hours, taking this as his main theme.
Testimony is worthless.
Mr.. Scott, in the course of his clos
ing argument, this afternoon devoted
considerable attention to the plea of
insanity. He deprecated the value of
the expert testimony, claiming that ex-
pert testimony may be made just what
the side producing the witness seeks
to have shown. Mr.. Scott, in support
of the claim as to the value of expert
evidence, quoted from an opinion of
the supreme court, in which the court
says: ut was said by distinguished
judge. in a case before him, if there
was any kind of testimony not only of
no value, but even worse than that, it

Mr.. Scott held that the plea of in
sanity is an admission of the act, and
that there was insufficient evidence to
justify the opinion of insanity.
