IT IS IN THE WIND

rhe long expected move seems
now about to be made. Senator
Foraker and Secretary Taft are
milking Sleeps eyes at each other.
Secretary Taft broke the ice when
he complimented Senator Foraker
at banquet In Washington this
week and, not to be outdone in gen.
erpsity, Senator Foraker caught the
b0quet and returned 1t to the corpul
erit secretary of war, today, in an
interview, given out in Washington.
In paying his compliments to Taft,
Foraker takes occasion to let him
know that he is willing to receive
proposal for cessation of hostili-
ties in Ohio.
when the fight first started, some
months ago, the Taft men tried TO
laugh 1t on. They seemed to give
little credence to the talk that
Senator Foraker could split the
Buckeye delegation. They we're not
even satisfied with sweeping the
state for Taft, but they were going

these fellows who have stood with
the leaders in their fight? That Will
probably worry those fellows more
than it does you. The history or
such fights is that those men can
look out for their own political
future. So long as the principals
get what they want, they do not
worry about the other fellow.
Of this political tangle, there
appears but one solution. Let TAFT
have the nomination, let Foraker
get the promise of whatever he
wants. then demonstrate to both
that they are not running the whole
show, by defeating Taft and electing
a democratic legislature. which Will

III tHe StHdle W lHeOuole DuItoH,
oust every follower of Foraker and
retire him to private life to exc
out a livelihood. They gave the
Foraker men the equine laugh
whenever mention was made OF
Foraker splitting the Ohio delega-
ton to the National convention.
Senator floraker made the hit OF
his life when he announced that he
would not be a candidate for re-
election to the senate, but would
make the race for the presidential
nomination. Since that day he has
been gaining ground steadily and
has been putting the Taft forces
on the run. Prior to that declara-
ton Taft men were making much
political capital out OF the claim
that Foraker was in the fight to
get Taft to compromise with him
by promising to give him the sena-
torship in return for his support
of Taft for the presidency. Taft
came out flatfooted upon the propo-
sition that he would concede moth
ing to the senator, but would poll
tically annihilate him.
The overture, looking to some
sort OF settlement, has come from
Secretary TAFT, the very same who
was ready a few months ago to
repel all advances made to him.
he has complimented Senator For
aker very nicely and in public, too,
at that. That is the first move
toward burying the hatchet, and 1t
is rather significant that 1t should
follow hard upon Foraker's upset.
ting the confirmation of quartet
of Ohio postmaster apointees.
Senator Foraker has proven equal
to the occasion. lie saw the rift in
the political clouds, he recognized
the weak place in Taft's armor,
he seized upon the first opportunity
to return the compliment paid to
him by Mr.. Taft, but he did stop at
that. He went the secretary one bet
ter and let it be known that he is
open for further overtures. lie has
practically said to Secretary Taft
that If he Is willing to give him
what he wants, he will allow him to
have the Ohio delegation, solidly.
thus cinching the nomination for
him.
This condition is nothing more
than has been looked for by those
who are familiar with Senator For
aker and his methods of warfare.
his Is not the first time efforts
from public life. He has been in so
many fights of this kind that hc
knows exactly what to do and he
has done 1t. A compromise has
been reached in each instance and
the affair has been patched up, sat
isfactOrily TO all concerned. The
first fight in which Foraker became
mixed up was with the late John
sherman, then followed his men,
orable battle with the late Senator
Hanna, then followed his fight of
three years ago against Myron II.
Illerrick. All of these he has won
quite handily, by effecting compro-
misses. 1t is little wonder then that
the people have been expecting the
present fight to take just the turn
that 1t has taken or now threatens
to take. Each contestant has ex-
pressed friendship and admoration
for the other and one has said he Is
ready for proposition. Lttle now
