TAFT OUT OF RACE
FOR SENATORSH|P;:
FORAKER IS TOO
Brother of President-Elect Acts
for Harmony and Burton
VIII Be Chosen.

COLUMBUS, Dec. 81. - Congressman
Theodore f. Burton, of Cleveland, was
decided upon to-day as the next United
States Senator from the State of Ohio.
Charles p Taft, of Cincinnati. and Mr..
Burton's most formidable opponent,
withdrew from the race during the fore
noon, and Senator Joseph b. Foraker
issued statement later admitting for
the first time since the attacks here
made upon him during the recent ma
tional campaign that his defeat for re-
election was certain and withdrew for
mally.
All the minor candidates have either
withdrawn altogether or viii get out Of
the race during tn" afternoon, so that
the naming of Mr., Burton in a party
caucus will be but a formality. State
Senator Thornhaker, Of Cincinnati, who
was to have presented the name of Mr.
Taft TO the caucus, will present that Of
Mr. Burton.
Senator Foraker issued the following
statement:
The withdrawal OF Mr.. Taft smpifes
the situation. Under all the circum-
stances | would have been glad to have
been reelected, but inasmuch as that
seems impossible, / feel that there Is a
great compensation for any personal dis
appointment. involved for myself I'm the
result that has been reached
IF nothing more had been accom-
plished a lesson of lasting value has
been taught in the demonstration that
a party organization is powerful only
when II confines itself To It's legitimate
business and duties as the agency and
representative of the whole party and
that II loses its force and power when it
becomes personal asset of an ndi-
vidual,"

body knows just when, for the Chi
nese keep their own counsel about
such events.
1t was in 1898 that the aged Dow
ager resumed the regency and Kwang
Hsu subsidized into his appropriate
place of shadowy appendage. Under
her master hand the projected re-
forms were blighted and China was
urged back into the old ways as far
as possible. 1t speaks wonders for Tsi
Ans ability that with all the resurgent
forces which must be bubbling and
seething within the monstrous realm,
she was able for more than ten years
TO control and in measure suppress
them. Now at her death they seem
bursting forth everywhere. Isl An
was not only great monarch, COM
parable to the most gifted of all the
ages, but she was also an exceedingly
attractive woman with many accom-
pllshments and subtle charms of per-
son and manner. Apart from her way
ward inclination toward murder, she
had no vices, being shining contrary
to Catherine Of Russia in this par
tlcular. She abhorred opium-smoking,
loved literature and cultivated the
arts. Isl An could paint a flower to
perfection in the best Chinese man
ner. The beautiful big letters in
which they delight she could draw so
artistically on huge sheets of paper
with a paint brush that connoisseurs
went into raptures over them, and
poetry she could recite by the page
In fact, the dowager herself knew how
to build the lofty rhyme. Some of
her sonnets are much relished by ce-
lestial savants and laterateurs, while
her mastery of the intricate and diff
cult Chinese prose appears to have
been wide and accurate. Isl An be-
longs among the marvellous half
dozen women Of whom Elizabeth TIL
dor, Lucretia Borgia and Mary de
Medici are examples. Wonderfully
gifted, without moral sense, cruel and
memorable, some Of them have black
ened the pages of history with USE
less crimes, while others have potently
contributed to the progress of man

OFFICIAL PROGRAM OF THE
STATE FAIR CAN BE HAD
FOR, THE ASKING.

So many complaints have been re-
ceived by the managers of the Great
Minnesota state fair that it is i'm
possible to see all the attractions in
one week, it was decided at meet
ing of the state fair board, held at
Secretary Cosgrove's office on the
fair ground recently, that copy of
the official program should be
mailed to anyone who might request
it, free of charge, at any time pre-
vious to August Goth.
Many visitors complain that had
they known certain attractions and
exhibits were to be seen, they would
not have missed them. The program
will furnish an itemized list of all
attractions and different daily events,
and by securing an official program
in advance arrangements can be
made to see the different things most
interesting to the holder.
1t is now common expression to
hear from visitors from outside the
state when visiting the fair: why,
this is not fair; this is big expo
sition.'' And the management are to
be commended for anything they may
do along the line of pointing out
the different features, so they may
be taken advantage of in the one
short week. The fair this year opens
on August 31st and closes on Sep
tember 5th. #.
