result in the loss of the state to the re- publican party
 After reading the interview, Senator Foraker said it would be observed that Mr. Bryson had said nothing that could be construed as an attack on the presidents policies There was no criticism of Secretary Taft or the ad- ministration
 President Ordered Nominations Held
 Up.
 Senator Foraker next offered as an exhibit a letter written on December 5, 1907, by Representative Douglass to MT. Bryson, MT. Douglass wrote that he called on the postmaster gen eral the day before. That cabinet of ficer told him that he had received a message from the president not to send in the nomination of MT. Bryson. Later, he had seen Mir Loeb, secretary to the president, who told him that the president saw no reason for ap- pointing men who were entirely out of sympathy with the administration. MT. Douglass said that this attitude had been taken by the administration as result of his interview on Ohio politics.
 Douglas wrote Bryson to come to Washington to try to straighten out matters Two days later. on Decem- Der [, MT. Douglass wrote another letter to MT Bryson. The congress man said he had talked over the mat ter with the president, who bluntly told me I would have to recommend somebody else"
 Man Whom the President Could Not
 Compel
 On the same date MT. Bryson re- piled to Representative Douglass first letter. MT Bryson did not deny the interview, but said Secretary Taft was not the first, second or third choice, He said he had never written, or said one word in disparagement of the Roosevelt policies. He said that the factional troubles in Ohio endangered the state to the republican party, and he had made efforts to bring about compromise. Mir Bryson said in effect, that the president could do as he pleased about the Athens post office He could get along without It.,
 "I am one of those whom the presi- dent cannot compel" wrote MT Bry- son T favor his policies but not his candidate
 MT Bryson said he thought Bryan could defeat Taft at the polls, and quoted Arthur I, Vorys, the Taft man ager, as saying the contest in Ohio might place that state in the doubtful 1 column in November.
 l Mir Brysons name was sent to the senate. and he was confirmed. This 1 fact, Mir. Foraker said did not answer the charge that postoffices and other appointments were being awarded on the basis of political service The correspondence. which he had read disclosed, he said, that pressure was brought to bear on a man who dared to speak his convictions.
 In concluding MT. Foraker said he thought that in the main the presi- dent sought to promote the public welfare in his appointments, but it was idle and begging the question foi him or anybody else to say that po- litical considerations had been put aside in selecting public officers

Travers was, a prime fa- perts figured that Behr could not set a pace fast enough for him. Travers made several mistakes, particularly on his tee shots, but he invariably made the fine recoveries and at the close of the first half (eighteen holes), he was five up without showing any signs of weakening.
 Behr held him on many holes. but Travers always had bit in reserve when necessary. all through the sec ond half, winning out on the twenty ninth hole by up and to play.
 He was the coolest looking person siasts who crowded around the home green when President Chauncey of the United States Golf Association, was ready to present the prizes.

GRAND HORSE SHOW
 AT BIG STATE FAIR

making arransements for racing at tho fair next month. He will also visit Kentcuky before returning home and . few of the fastest race horses of the 'bluegrass" State will be seen here in October.
 The Spei1man's attractions which will comprise the shows on the Curve" this year will be the highest class att tractions ever shown before South ern State Fair in one collection. There will be twenty-five shows In all and not one Of them will be anything but a headiiner.
 These shows have been performing only In the hiEhest-priced amusement centers and are only brought to this section by a special arrahgement by which they will make a six-weeks' tour through the South. showing at State Fairs only
 The feature of the Curve" Is the Circle D Ranch Wild West show. This show will have a cast of sixty people Indians. cowboys and Cossacks. Their performance will be fully as good as those of larger Wild West shows, although not so elaborate. They have as good marksmen, better horse- men and equally as high-class a pro- gram. 1t Is said, as any of the wild west shows to be seen at much high CT prices
 The Spellman trained animal con gress Is exceptionally high class and has number of new features which will prove most attractive. The dog and pony show will be as 'cute" as Is always the case with this class of ex- hibitions.
 Two special sensations promise to stir up furores of excitement. The first Is Ament's ghost show. which will cause many thousand hairs to stand on end before the week Is over. The other Is Mime. Nina Montegfiffo in her conception of the famous Salome dance. The weird. passionate and soul ful dance Is fully as powerful In the hands of Nina as any of the New York stars. and will be a great favorite ac. cording to all indications
 The Roman Hippodrome is another exceedingly high -priced attraction, and will include in It's performance se- ries of unusually high-class acts. novelty will be the Everglade show--a collection of all of the different aauatle and land animals that inhabit the not ed everglades of Florida and South err Georgia, while equally novel will be the German Flea Congress--"must bt seen to be appreciated"
 Other attractions in the twenty fivt will be the panorama of the Merrlmac and Monitor. the Johnstown Flood two irresistible penny arcades and a dozen other attractions drawn rlghi from the top-notchers In the show world of the day.
