important development of the dayi
was the discovery that the organlza-
tion will not be able to hold the
Franklin county delegation in line.
Carl Braun, a third term. and Rich
Yard Reypo!ds, who will call the Re-
Iipublicah sho,ise caucus together, both
Called on Burton. Neither Is favor
able to the Taft candidacy.
sfEAs the line up appears none OF tneI
candidates can count enough pledged
votes to contsol the caucus. The ho-
tel Hobbies are full Of talk of deals.
So far as Burton Is concerned he
has entered no deal and Is not in
c!ined to deal at any stage of the
fight. Senator Foraker Is due here
Saturday. Those who expect Fora

will be no getting together by Bur

He will come to the capital after

Henry A. Williams of the state ex-
ecutive committee.
1t is the present understanding that
there will be a joint caucus of the
! senate land house Republicans on
Saturday night, Jan. 2, at which the
senatorial fight will be largely de-
termined. II is for control of this
caucus that all the efforts of The SEN
atorial candidates will be directed
during the next two weeks. The
night caucus will follow sessions of
